The Harvest Moon Test Drive!

Not sure your character is a good fit for the game? Feel free to try out a meme based on the game setting. If you decide you're having fun, then you're more than welcome to create a profile and join!

EVENTS
1. Farmer Noob - Water the crops. Brush the cows. Feed the dogs. Harvest the babies. Put chickens in the beehives. ...Maybe you could use a little help.
2. Pokemon Quality Time - So you've got yourself a new Pokemon! Now what? Do the two of you get along? Are you still butting heads even after weeks of getting to know each other? Whatever the case, you're not giving up, that Pokemon will be your friend!
3. Courtship - There's a special someone in town you've got your eye on. Bring them their favorite gifts and they'll have no choice but to like you! ...That IS their favorite gift, right? Because if it's a horror gift, you're doomed to die alone.
4. Rivals! - There's just something about that other person that drives you. Is it respect and a desire to prove yourself to them? Are they obnoxiously smug? Did you make a stupid promise as children that if the other person beats you to the Elite Four you'll have to marry them? Whatever the reason, there's only one way to settle this, and that's with a Pokemon battle!
5. Competition - Who grows the best crops? Who's got the best sheep? Who can cook the most delicious Cheese Drink? Put your skills on display and impress EVERYONE.
6. Sick Friends - Uh oh, you forgot to put the cow in last night and it got harassed by a wild dog. Now it's stressed out and unhappy! Or maybe your Pokemon is just feeling a little under the weather. Or maybe it's you who stayed up too late plowing the fields and now you're suffering the consequences. Good thing you've got a friend who knows how to make everything better. Or worse. ...Much, much worse...
7. Typhoon/Blizzard - The storm outside is so rough, you don't dare venture outside unless there's an emergency. Better stay in, hopefully with some good company, and take it easy for just one day. Or if you're really stupid unlucky, maybe you got stuck in a cave or in the wilderness and need help on the double!
8. Blasting Off Again! - Those Team Rocket goons are up to no good, and no one is surprised! What are they up to this time? Stealing Pokemon? Robbing a Pokemon Center? Blackmailing a gym leader? You can't let them get away with this! Unless you're playing a member of Team Rocket, in which case, no one can stop you now, bwah ha ha ha ha!
9. Training - Whether you're leveling up a Pokemon, teaching it a new move, foraging for items in the wild, fishing, mining, cooking, tending your fields, or any other number of activities, the only way to get good is to practice. Perhaps someone can offer you a hand, or if you're really lucky, they'll be impressed as you show off your finely-honed skills.
10. Wild Pokemon Attack - Shit! SHIT! There's a dustcloud full of rampaging angry Pokemon and they want blood! There's no way you can take them on with the Pokemon you have (if you have any at all!). Help, someone! Anyone! SHIIIIITTTTT!

Re: FARMERTIME

[bestmomever]

Ah, there you are Wicke! [Exclaimed Lusamine, running up.]

Thanks so much for grabbing her for me!

[betheman]

[Gongenzaka will be careful to hand the bird over-best not to end in someone cut up with bird feet, after all...

He is nothing but smiles as he does so however, beaming.] Aaah, it is nothing, Miss-! Though, just how long did she evade your capture...?

[It occurs to him that, well. He's not exactly seen this hen around, let alone Lusamine herself.]

[bestmomever]

She just got out of her pen, and decided to take off across the fields. So I had to catch her.

[She smiled at Gon.] I don't think we've met. I'm Lusamine, I just moved in a while ago with my family.

[betheman]

Hauh-! Free spirited, I see... [It was a chicken run, a chicken run-!

Well. Gongenzaka laughs, and nods to a more proper greeting.] I, the man Gongenzaka, am Noboru Gongenzaka-of Gongenzaka farms! [He somewhat proudly-but politely-introduces.] It is a pleasure to meet you, Lusamine-! You say you brought family?

[bestmomever]

My children, Lilie and Gladio. They're around here somewhere, while I deal with the farm. I'm sure they're off looking for Pokemon.

[betheman]

Looking? [And, children? She looked quite young, he thought, but alright.] Do they have their own pokemon, then...

...just how old are they, for that matter?

[bestmomever]

Yes, one has a Umbreon, the other a Alolan Vulpix.

[She tilted her head a little.]

12 and 14 respectively.

[betheman]

Hoh-! Then, one is old enough to possibly start a farm themselves..! They are but my age-!

[Gon, about that, buddy, you really don't....look....]

Hmnn...an 'alolan vulpix'...it sounds interesting...

Char-! [Charmander Agrees.]

[bestmomever]

Oh? You don't look 14. No offence.

Yes, they're pure white and are completely snow-oriented.

[betheman]

A...AUH-

...Char..?

[For something with no offense, it hits like a brick-!!]

I...Is that so...

[bestmomever]

Oh sorry. I just thought you were mature looking. Very adult and sturdy.

[betheman]

O-oh..! I see... [Well, that seems...more of an awkwardly put complement, if be thinks it like that, so good enough right?

They can move to...nicer things!] In any case-!

Such a vulpix, sounds interesting indeed..certainly quite opposite to the element of the vulpix here-!

[bestmomever]

[She's smiling though, with a little giggle.]

Yes, it's from our hometown. There, Alolan Vulpix live in the snowy mountains where they evolve into Alolan Ninetails.

[betheman]

I see...

...It sounds as though the pokemon in 'Alola' are quite different, then...

[bestmomever]

Quite a bit different. Although there are many similar pokemon. It's a tropical land with some exception.

[betheman]

Some exception indeed, given the 'vulpix'...

...Just what is it that creates such a diverse climate, in an otherwise tropical region?

[bestmomever]

It's the region climate which allows for different kinds of variations on existing Pokemon to be perfectly honest.

Before I moved out here I was with a fairly big conservation group. I needed a break though.

[betheman]

You needed a break, and so you have turned to farming? [Gongenzaka laughs-though it is warm, at least.] Well, I, the man Gongenzaka, certainly hope you find what you desire then..!

[bestmomever]

For a year or so, yes. We're here for a while, and wanted to experience the Kanto Region together.

[She smiled, and said,] Well I'd best get Wicke back into the pen.

[betheman]

Aaah, that would be wise-I, the man Gongenzaka, should hope no other 'escapes' have occurred in the meantime! [he adds, laughing.]

[bestmomever]

I hope not! It would be troublesome for the Pokemon to help round them all up.
