Update #39 - Season 3 Finale! (Patreon)

(Reworked Trainer - Brenda (Ruby) attached at bottom of post!)

Hello everyone!

It's finally time to announce the end of our Hoenn journey! That's right, we're quickly wrapping up the last major releases for Generation 3 with a few minor releases like Luvdisc and Relicanth being pushed back, much like with similar lesser-demanded Moemon from Generation 2. They'll release eventually, but I want higher priority releases to come first.

While Season 4 will, in fact, be Sinnoh, it won't exactly start next month. Instead, I want to do some intermediary stuff first. We'll go into details about that next update, but most of it is tying up some loose ends, as well as releasing some reworks I had planned.

Before that, however, we'll be tidying up the rest of this Generation this month with the remaining Elite Four, their Moemon, and some extras. After that, we'll do a quick Post-Season "Delta Episode", for those familiar with ORAS' narrative, you know what that means.

But let's not get TOO ahead of ourselves. There will be plenty to go over next update. For now, let's look at what's to come this month.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's Next?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We're still doing a few Halloween-related Moemon, including Mega Banette and the Duskull family, and if I have enough time, an additional release. Over the remaining subsequent weeks, we'll be facing off against the last two E4 members as well as the Champion.

First up, Elite Four Glacia.

I already hate her hair.

With her is the Spheal family and the THICC ASS WALREIN

Side note, but Walrein may be receiving a new sprite in the future (and probably the rest of her family), in such a case that that happens, as well as with certain other Moemon, I may recreate them and make them regional variations. I don't have a preview for the new Walrein, but it wouldn't be hard to imagine her as a Kanto version, right?

The Snorunt line is next, with Gen 4 Froslass included. I've been looking forward to working on her for a while now.

I wondered if Glacia had any other Ice-types in her team, but no, it's literally just Glalie's, Sealeo's and a Walrein, until the ORAS remake at least.

Next is Drake, who will be retrofit alongside our other Dragon Sisters, Lancette (Red) and Clair (Blue), to become the Blue-Eyes White Dragon! (jk)

Her team consists of the long awaited Salamence family. I should note, these are just recently re-re-re-re-designed sprites, and are still in the process of updating, particularly Shelgon. Salamence, however, is nearly done (although it's been continuously updated and "done" for months now).

The team really has fun with Salamence sometimes. There may be a Mega for her somewhere around here as well..

Finally, the Hoenn Champion, Stephanie, awaits at the end of the Elite Four.

There's a surprising amount of fanart for a female Steven, which I don't really understand why. Still, as you can see in the above preview image, you can see the general design. I haven't settled yet, but I may use some alternate hairs for her other outfit slots. If you're confused about the purple on her shirt in the above screenshot, it's actually based on the sprite itself:

I don't just do things randomly, yknow!

Her team, of course, consists of one of my all time favorites: The Metagross family!

Metagross is almost always on my main team, whenever the game let's you find a Beldum. I usually don't like Moemon that hold weapons, but I'll make an exception here. It should be fun making the hammers. I have some fun ideas that involve things other than the basic shape accessories, so we'll see how it comes out.

Here's an early EARLY EARLY EARLYYYY preview of Mega Metagross, by the way. I mean, very early. Like this isn't even out of the oven yet

The Megas may not release the same week as their family, as like with Banette, I don't want to take away from the others. Perhaps during the Delta episode, however.

Speaking of which, while we're still weeks away from the Delta episode, it's safe to assume what may release during that "transitionary" period.

The main thing, of course, is Zinnia.

She's going to be a fucking nightmare to work on but we'll do what we can.

That cloak looks like hell. Thankfully, I have ideas. Lots of MaterialEditing and alpha channels.

Finally, the remaining 4 Legendaries will be out within the next 4-5 weeks.

Latias and Latios are next.

Debatable on how Latios should be made. An actual male? Nah. A female with a peen? Eh, that's always toggleable if you want that. I could just make Latias twice, one in Red and Blue? There's actually a former Latios (female) sprite, but I have to find it.

Worry about it later, I guess..

That's all the previews for this month. As always, there may be a few unannounced releases, and there will certainly be some in the Delta episode. I should also mention, the schedule may be a little bit wonky this week, what with the US Election and Civil War 2.0 starting soon - that shouldn't be too big of an issue but you never know.

Anyways, I do hope you all continue to stick around, as I think the next few months will be the best ones yet. Lots of highly demanded stuff coming!

Oh, by the way, have an updated Brenda/Ruby Trainer for the hell of it - attached to this post!

That's all for now. See you next drop!
