Similar Deviations
These results appear less relevant than we'd like. While we're working on improving More Like This, you can help by collecting "Dinosaur vs. Octopus in Space" with similar deviations.
Note that this isn't even close to done. Feedback is appreciated! The current plan is to just keep updating this file as I complete the game, so feel free to check back and see if that has happened. (THIS FEELS LIKE SPAMMING FOR VIEWS AND IT MAKES MY SOUL FEEL DIRTY BUT WHATEVS IT'S HOW I ROLL) I will post updates on my journal, and I will try to update at least once a week. Thanks everyone for all your support! And if you run into a bug/typo/whatever, just tell me in the comments so I can fix it!

And in case you were all like, "What even is Swimming Anime?" it's an anime that is now called Free!, and the real anime is coming out in July. When I started making this sim, all of our knowledge of the anime came from this commercial, and so I took the character images from the commercial and I took the guys' names/personalities from the fandom. Know Your Meme has an excellent article on the Swimming Anime, so check that out!


EDIT April 3, 2013: Now you can visit the pool during free period! It's an adventure in which I creatively avoid cursing and our protagonist avoids learning about major plot points.
EDIT April 14, 2013: Ha, you thought there would be regular updates? WELL YOU THOUGHT WRONG. Anyway, enjoy finding out what is on Tsun's mystery phone. (Is it pony porn? Whooooo knowwwwwws...)
EDIT May 16, 2013: Because late updates are better than on-time updates. You can now go on a walk! It's pretty intense, but I think you're strong enough to handle it.
EDIT May 22, 2013: You can now go on the internet inside the game that you are playing on the internet!! WHAAAAAAAAAAA

Wow, I haven't written a journal since that one time I wrote a journal and deleted it.

So out of my current 318 watchers (WOW), about six were watching me before last week. So for the six of you: HEY I MADE A THING AND IT EXPLODED ON THE INTERNET IT'S KIND OF LIKE THAT TIME WHEN I GOT ALMOST INTERNET FAMOUS ON YOUTUBE, EXCEPT I PROBABLY WON'T GET BANNED FOR COPYRIGHTED MUSIC THIS TIME.

Now that that's out of the way: the dating sim thing has slightly more content than it did before! New features include:
~Visiting the pool! I mean, you could do that anyway, but now you can do that earlier!
~Creative non-cursing! Ever wanted to call someone a fedora face? This is now a thing you can do!
~Barely missing major plot-points! This is what most of us do our entire lives!
~Inaccurate swimming terminology! Doing seventeen 50s on a five second interval is totally reasonable until proven otherwise.
~Dating! HAHA no not really.

Another Digital Art class project. We were told to scan objects that represent us, so I scanned some crayons and art supplies and whatnot. I got the horizontal stripes in the background by turning the light off and on while I was scanning.

Edited in Adobe Photoshop CS5.

I had trouble deciding whether to have this upright or turned sideways. It looks prettier this way, but sideways it looks like someone is terrified that a tree is growing out of his/her eye. Whatever floats your boat, really.

Made using colored pencils.

My sister fell asleep, so I drew her. She's really very pretty, and this picture doesn't do her justice. I blame all mess-ups on the fact that she rolled around a lot. Sheesh, why don't people ever stay still when I secretly draw them? How inconsiderate.

Made using Adobe Photoshop 6.0.

Edit: This is my most-viewed deviation my second most-viewed deviation. How did that happen? It's not even very good. Where are people finding this? And why the hell do half the people who view it download it? PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE explain this to me.
Seriously, I have gotten exactly one comment in all of the 700+ times people have viewed this. What the crap.

Gardevoir Tale
Chapter 9:
My Reason

Adamma continued to lead the gang to the trouble making Pokémon.

"We're almost there, meh!" Adamma stated with pride for the fact that she got them here so quickly.
"Wonderful!" Gen cheered happily.

Kaeomon stared at a large building commenting on how big it was.

"I've never seen a building this big before chipa!" She said her eyes filled with wonder.
"Neither have I!!!" Kaida agreed his eyes sparkling with joy and delight.

Soon the Pokémon that made the deal with the ghost type jumped down from a roof using shadow claw and missed.

"How rude!" Ai started. "Teach it some manner Aiko by using Ice Beam!"
"YES MILADY!!!" Aiko yelled while forming the attack.

Aiko blasted it at the cat like Pokémon and froze her.

"You wanted me to freeze her, correct milady?" Aiko asked pointing at the frozen cat Pokémon.
"Yes, that is correct." Ai nodded gently.

The Pokémon broke free and huge ice shards were sent flying everywhere! One of which nearly hitting Kaida but Gen quickly grabbed hold of him and teleported away from the ice chunks.

"DID YOU SERIOUSLY THINK THAT'D SLOW ME DOWN?!?!" She yelled.

Just then Adamma raced toward the Pokémon and was yelling: "MAMA!!!!!" at the top of her hyper lungs.

"Adamma! You're ok!" The attacking Pokémon cried and hugged the Skitty then glared at the group. "But what are you doing with these filthy humans?!"
"They caught that naughty Pachirisu mom!" Adamma explained.

Kaeomon looked at them and gave them a tilt of the head showing confusion…she wasn't that bad was she?

"I can see that but I could care less!" The Pokémon "hmph"ed while looking away. "Especially after what they did to me!"

Gen and Kaida were looking down at the cat like Pokémon and Gen was sucked inside the Pokémon's memories…seeing…hearing…smelling…and feeling everything the Pokémon did in the past with her memories.

The Pokémon was beat up and dirty and a human girl went up to her and petted her gently.

"Hello there little one." The human girl said gently.

Soon the memory changed and the Pokémon was the human girl's partner Pokémon and challenged the last gym before the Elite Four. The girl chose her partner first.
The memory changed again…there was a rainbow after a rain and they were looking up at the building that held the Elite Four  with the rainbow in front…it was a beautiful sight to see.
Again the memory changed and after her partner failed to beat the elite four…she released the Pokémon! But the Pokémon kept trying to follow her, eventually the female called her a monster and said she'd better leave her alone. The Pokémon was confused. It thought the trainer loved her….but…the trainer explained that she was only using her.

Gen was snapped back to reality and what she saw was the Pokémon attacking everyone and the gang fighting back. Gen quickly teleported between them.

"WAIT!!!" Gen cried stretching her arms out. "She has a right to be angry!!!"
"What right is that, Chiiii!!!!!!" Kaeomon yelled with sparks flying out of her cheeks.
"She had a wonderful bond with her master…that was broken by her master for no reason!"
"You…you heard my cry…and I heard yours…my name is-." The Pokémon began.
"Princess. I know…" Gen smiled.
"Then I suppose I should spare you…you've had a rough life as well…"
"Please…" Ai started, "why do you attack us Princess…?"
"Ai…she fears rejection and loneliness…" Gen answered.
"Those are good reasons to hate our kind…but the people you see before you would never do such a thing! I promise!"
"That's what they all say." Princess "hmph"ed again and looked away.
"Please Princess! When I was released they took me in!" Gen pleaded.
"Why should I believe you?"
"Because we can give you a home and a family! Just like before!"

Princess stared into the eyes of Gen…and saw that this Pokémon before her…was just like her in many ways…but…she had something this Glameow didn't have…hope…in fact…Gen had a family and had friends….which is more than what Princess could say she had… Princess looked at the group…then her eyes fell upon her adopted child, Adamma…she was smiling really big and was rubbing against Michiko. Princess, with happy tears in her eyes, just simply smiled in response…a smile that claimed that she wanted to join.
Here ya go~
