The usual “what next for me” for Anniversary Crystal & ATP8+

Damn… working on these next ask comics for Ask-TwitchPKMN8+, and thinking how hype the Anniversary Crystal run is going to be got me realizing something…. TwitchPlaysPokemon is about to turn 2 years old next month. wasn’t it the 12th or 14th ya guys played the original Red run? I didn’t join till emerald, so I don’t really know, but I know it’s around there. Either way hell, I still remember a lot even from Season 1 from the back of my hand. The more I think about it, the more ancient I feel. You really do see it all at the stream being there for 2 whole years. Even though I haven’t seen what it was like with over 100k people, I sure have hell had a taste of the exciting chaos that was 30K. Sure that’s a super large difference in NUMBERS, but input wise, jesus that was so chaotic that I couldn’t even keep up with the video even WHEN I hid the chat. Even so in low numbers now, TPP still has something up it’s arsenal to keep me coming for more. Plus It’s fun interacting with people for once than randomly yell how I feel about the stream (like every other stream ever Kappa). Lets get back on point though.

==============================================



TPP Liveblogging/activities with Anniversary Crystal:

With TPP turning 2 years old, and this year celebrating it with the Anniversary Crystal run, I want to actually experience the full chaos that will come to us to share many runs to come. Like Red had with everything, and like Anniversary Red being brought up in later season 2 runs, I want to go nuts like I did on this run like I did on last year’s anniversary. Sooooo with that I kinda decided:

I WON’T focus fully on a Twitch Anniversary Crystal Impression series.

Will that mean I won’t do them? No, I still love liveblogging no matter what. What I’m saying is after a certain point, I want to focus on fanart,lore, and comics than just gluing my eyeballs in the screen. Remember how I was during Anniversary Red where I did more than just liveblog and simple fanart (a lot more)? I want it to be like that where I can have my cake and eat it too. Plus I’m staring to find more job openings now that people getting laid off the seasonal stuff. So I can’t see how I’m gonna keep up liveblogging If I’ll be working most of the day. Doesn’t mean I’ll be missing out tho! I want to go hard enjoying run and all it has to offer. The dev team behind it really make it sound like it’s going to be one to truly remember.

==============================================

On to Ask-TwitchPKMN8+:

So I thought long and hard about this too. In fact, I thought about this for an entire year now since the start of TPP Anniversary Red. As much as I love the o’l gang, I feel like it’s time for me to move on from them, and keep up with TPP relevancy & people’s interest. By that, I mean their time is way passed their mark and I’m sure the lot of you guys mostly want to see the classic cast finally have their end, so I can make way for the new set I’ve teased about. So let me just drop it short cause I don’t really have any other way to explain it.

I think this summary will do:

Ask-TwitchPKMN8+ Series 1 will end after the Kalos arc & Solareon Wars is over. After the current chapter we’re on, there will be one last final chapter that’ll wrap up 70% of everything. This could range up to 30 - 60 comics all together. After that, I’m dropping the Omega Ruby Arc and either: A) Go right for Series 2 (The Next Generation) that’ll feature TPP Season 2 & 3 Pokemon. Or B) Finally let the long time series be put to rest, and close up shop.

Reason for this is because I realized (finally) that I can’t keep up with a story so complex and fun like this series, in a place where everything changes moves on to the next run so rapidly. While we keep the mons cherished in our hearts, most of us just want to see the new, and what would spawn from them.Then repeat the process and focus on what’s a head of us waiting for the new. Plus I feel the cast already made themselves stand out enough to be loved and/or hated. So I’m already proud on how loved the series has became. To even think this through further, I just missed an entire year of cast to work with to keep the story flow at least at a minimum level to enjoy. If it’s not that, part of the reason is that I’m getting a bit tired too constantly working on the series, and finally getting that feeling on wanting to work on other things. However I don’t want to drop the o’l series cause I love how much we made it grow. So I at least want to see the Kalos & Solareon Wars Arc through completion originally planned.

The MAIN reason to it all is mostly cause of pacing. With so much I had planned, it’s impossible now to keep going like this in such a slow and detailed pace I love working with so much. I’m not ashamed to admit I dragged the story long enough, and many of you guys I’m sure would want to see the Seasons 2 & 3 TPP pokemon have their place. Also I would hate to feel like I need to be more in a rush than I’m already is. In a place like TPP, I gotta get with the times.So to make this whole thing short, this is my final decision:



I’m dropping the Omega Ruby Arc & will highly jump to series 2 to keep up with TPP’s today’s relevancy. Also for the fact that I want to work on other projects too. If not, then I can close the series on a good note.~
