4 fucking years of XN-HV

o.o as of today, it's been 3 years since i started this project. o_o well it was really officially started on the 11th, o3o but prologues have to count too. to commemorate this, have a simple pic and a mostly recycled introductory message. for the previous ones, go here aoisora19s.deviantart.com/art/… (3 years) aoisora19s.deviantart.com/art/… (2 years) aoisora19s.deviantart.com/art/… (1 year)



o.o midnight still counts as the 1st, so yeah. o_o anyhow, it's been nearly 11 months since i finished this run (6 months since i finished this pic, though). o.o didn't think i'd really make it before SuMo came out. but right at the last day, i prevailed. just wish i could've prevailed a month earlier like i did with WN-SJ. o.o eh, what can ya do. you guys give me the drive to do this stupid shit and im grateful for every last one of you. thanks to you guys, i was able to complete 2 entire major projects. ._.;; and to think i once despaired over never finishing a single story. o.o amazing how much can change over time, you know?

in the same style as this year's anniversary for WN-SJ, i just went with a very simple team pic. o_o might as well ramble on about them. o.o unlike most of Sen's final team, these guys were a bit more planned. well, the only truly certain thing was Oliver. o3o you can only imagine how elated i was to get him in the game. although i did separate the flowers, thinking they would all have different encounters and shit. o_o;; turns out it was slightly different encounter rates for certain pokes in the area and no actual new pokes in the end ...

o.o Lila? well, her Bubble Make style was thought of for a while, but other than that, nothing else was really planned for her, not even a backstory. o.o Lexas? well at the time, some Nuzlockes crossed over with each other in a few ways, primarily with the starters being related. Dorrie had Axel and Kai had Alix (both runs have pretty much been lost to time, so no links). i thought i'd join in there by having Lexas be the long lost brother of those 2 siblings. o.o although that was merely just a headcanon, it was never made official. o_o that was my only motiv for picking Charmander. o3o that and to surprise others. literally no one expected him at the time. o3o Oliver is Oliver, no need to go further there. o_o the idea for Hyoue was thought of for a while; a musical poke who keeps a ukulele with him. o.o could've been anyone. i initially thought of a Helioptile being that. o_o but then i caught that Espurr and it all came into place, as did his incredibly depressing backstory (most depressing of any character yet) and the basis for the Shalour arc. o.o Keiko? completely unplanned, but i managed to bullshit her into being that lovable shortstack cake dog thing with the speech problem. also slowly shipped her and Hyoue as i progressed in the game. i just had to do it for the comic ... and i think i did well, especially with their love song at 66. ._. dammit, i love that song ....... o.o Yuki could've been added as Shiro's replacement instead, but i just wanted to use Keiko ... and also, i thought many others would be using a Sylveon for their runs. didn't want to be like everyone else ... ._. says the guy who had 2 of the most desired starters ...

and then there's Suteki. nothing about her was planned ... o.o but i was fortunate enough to find her ... and i really grew to love her. ;3; when she toughed it out after Lysandre's Gyarados stuck ... holy shit ... i think i cried a little inside. o_o and she pretty much kept me from going mad from loneliness when i was in Guatemala for most of that January. o.o so i thought i'd show that love here ... o3o;; and she ended up being in a polyamorous relationship with Heilu and Shauna. o.o again, nothing was planned

o3o and now for 5 more obligatory fun facts since the others had em
in an old poll showing which ship was better, Lila lost to a chocolate pokepuff
in the series overall, the girl with the largest tits was easily Lady Lait. i'd say for pokes too, but Lady Lait's a half breed, so she counts as that. largest ass was Sables. but for humans, it was Serena
no other character in any of my series has, and they more than likely never will have, a higher kill count than Heilu. his last kick to Lysandre literally destroyed entire universes ... and even alternate universes
Oliver is best character
chocolate pokepuff is best girl



i don't own Pokemon, Nuzlocke, or any references used
