Pokedex!

[goingsouth]

Hello! I've only just apped in Jeff, but I really want to thank everyone for tagging him first of all because somehow Earthbound is obscure or something and I didn't think anyone would talk to him.

SECONDLY, as an addition to him trying to figure out color for the Warp Band screens, I also want him to start trying to find a way to program found Pokemon data onto the Warp Bands. Essentially, a really primitive version of the Pokedex. So far in Union they only have Pokemon info in books so to have it able to be carried around he thinks would be great. It will take a lot of time and effort, however! And lots of people helping!

So, any Engineers (OR ANYONE ELSE) wanting to help this project would be awesome!

If wouldn't take lots of logs or anything because that might be boring? But just having people starting to talk about it, maybe more scholarly or adventurous folk writing down information on their Pokemon/wild Pokemon to submit to the project. That sort of thing! A buzz feed about it would be really cool.

There's no real details about it yet, or how long it would take, but I think it'd be a really neat idea!

This sounds like a cool idea. I have a potential third character coming in soon who might be interested in helping to program that kind of thing, so if I manage to get his app together soon enough, I'll hit you up for some planning.

awesome! i doubt it'll be very fast, so you have plenty of time :^)

Well, here's the character in question and he's in now! His intro is over here if you want to tag it. He's kind of abrasive but he'll warm up to other techie characters easily.

Collecting data for something like this is something Rise would definitely volunteer for. She knows jack about machinery, but she does have Analyst powers.

Also I think this is a great idea OOC and you should feel great OOC.

[goingsouth]

:')))

Jeff will probably ask people to give him information over Warp Bands/drop stuff off by the store once the idea is in motion so Rise will be very appreciated!

I also think it's a great idea, and I'll be bringing in someone that will be all over helping collect the data. As is Sync might for some side money since he's broke, but if he hears about either of these in some way, he'll be happy to spread the word To generate interest and financial backers.

As is, Jeff has no money to give people for it, but spreading the word is always appreciated.

this is really great! Jade is a lazyass so he probably won't be too proactive in sending data to jeff (although he does a fair bit of data-gathering on his own), but he might contribute a bit!

But I could definitely have him point people towards Jeff, because if there's one thing he's good at, it's getting other people to do his work for him. :|b

[goingsouth]

networking and buzz feeding is a huge part of it! the idea is to get most of Union in on it so they can progress :D

Besides wanting to express my excitement at seeing a Jeff rper (because that is worth quite a bit of excitement), I wanted to cast Eggman in to help out. He'd be pretty excited that a young mind is showing such initiative and do what he can as a somewhat renowned scientist to encourage that.

While Eggman likely won't be too hands-on, as a programmer, he'll step in whenever roadblocks pop up. Other than that, he'll be pretty proactive in helping collect data.

[goingsouth]

:D! I hope I do him justice!

Jeff will totally be happy for the advice from someone-who-is-not-his-dad. Maybe Eggman could be an old friend of Dr Andonuts or something??? so they'd have a reason to sort of vaguely know each other? if you want pre CR i mean :O

[eggsellence]

From what I'm seeing, you got his character down pat. Which is tough since a lot of what you see of the Mother 1/2 characters aren't overtly stated. Fine example of show, not (just) tell.

Anywaaaayyyy... Yes, Eggman would likely know of Andonuts. Eggman might be a tiny bit too abrasive for Andonuts to be regular friends, but they're probably on good terms. It'd surprise Botsy that he had a son for certain.

[goingsouth]

ahhh thank you! basicaly jeff's personality is "he's a big nerd, but" lmao

also yeah! that's what i meant, like colleagues more so than friends? yep he has a little nerdlet son who likes to invent things dr eggman look at his proto pokedex :^)

[eggsellence]

you made that all from scratch. friggin. Brilliant. Seriously, Eggy would be so proud.

See, if there were more kids like Jeff around, this world would be a much better place. He'll have a place in the impending scientist version of Outer Heaven.

[goingsouth]

just as planned

he'll probably mention it in his next post! once i submit this to player plots and stuff etc
