Hey, everyone! We're so glad you're having fun with the Pokémon AU discussions. However, since those are only tangentially related to Our Life: Now & Forever, it would be better to continue sharing them in another space. We appreciate your understanding, and thank you all for your enthusiasm!

Ah, I don't know much about Pokemon, but then suddenly Pokemon Au came out...

Welp here's my little guy cause why not join in on the ever growing list of Mc's

And thay all my rant ... I Hope sombody at list comment 🥲

I did so much art today <3 I think this might be the last for now to avoid spamming haha 

Timmy's starter is Munchlax, they happened to share some berries together during summer and grew attached one another in few weeks. In their eleven years together, Timmy always hug his Munchlax and it became a learned habit for his pokemon. Just like James' Victreebel, Snorlax didn't stop hugging Timothy whenever he's brought out from his pokeball (gotta hide Timothy's Step 3 design hehe).

Around his childhood, Timmy planned to become a battle trainer and started gathering a strategic team. But as time went on, he preferred to take care of Pokemon and sets up a daycare in Golden Grove. The pokemon that chose to stay with him are content and living a relaxing life <3

have some mari art based off pokeverse. ignore low quality i was lazy 😔

ANYWAYS uh I like to think her starter was piplup!!! Not for any strategic reason at all... she just thought it was cute lmao. She also captures eevee later in step 1.

In step 2 she has already evolved her piplup to empoleon (mostly because she uses it for most encounters) and has a lot of bruises from her accidently being cut by its blades 💔.  I don't think her eevee may have evolved yet, probably due to the fact that she's quite indecisive for most things... she also captures both misdreavus and azurill in this step! 

She likes battling her friends but shes a sore loser so she sulks afterwards if she didnt win (this happens alot with the boys club n tamarack cause theyre literally the elite 4 😔) doesn't like capturing pokemon that much but happy to help someone get their own

I saw people doing A.U's for Olnf and pokemon and Ima just say that Tamarrack is most definitely be a shiny/rare pokemon magnet.

haiij.. while eagerly waiting for the (possible) new update to drop i decided why not stop being a lurker for today and show yalls my ol;nf childd..

very half-baked description but it pretty much sums up Aer when you first meet him, think of tamaracks bubbly and optimistic personality paired with qius doting and welcoming nature. Also used uhh ren as a base cause i suck at full body drawings..

heres him in my artstyle tho *havent drawn in a while so also very half-baked*

I was replaying OLNF demo ver 1.4  and I forgot you can only have one best friend lol. I was devastated for Timmy (because Tam AND Qiu are his best friends to him haha) but at least he still has a childhood crush with Tam instead to make up for it. 

This one is just sketch and casual practice about food lol. I headcanon this dish when Timmy is stuck at the diner alone because of heavy rain, it dampened his mood a lot from the weather. So Yusuf decided to let him try the new dish to keep him distracted. The pie isn't as good as Granny's of course (that's whole another level) but it became a comfort food for Timmy later on. Timmy doesn't have the heart to tell Tam's Granny that he's been eating someone else's pie more often lolThere are things I still want to draw during my days off from college :,) but Timmy has becoming my comfort oc now haha so I drew him first but hopefully I want to get the ideas done soon

r.i.p qiu 😪😪 kojo will make sure you’ll be properly credited in his research paper on deadly pokemon moves /j

ANYWAYSSS 🤔🤔🤔 YAP TIME cause i love pokemon #HellYeah

unlike most, when kojo started battling at age 10, he had two pokemon/starters instead of one; a trigger-happy gible named lucifer, and a rather shy litwick named lilith. this is because kojo moved from melbourne, australia to golden grove, oregon, and already had a partner from back home. however, while adjusting, he grew curious of golden grove’s pokemon, and when wandering the woods one evening, he stumbled upon a litwick, fell in love with ir, and caught it.

at age fourteen kojo’s team had grown from two, to five pokemon— gabite, a shiny frogadier, lucario, midnight form lycanroc, and a tinkatuff. his litwick— now evolved into a lampent (he grinded the hell to get there vro)— has seemed to have been ‘benched’, but in reality it is kojo’s most trusted partner (alongside gabite) and used for his nightly routine of pokemon hunting rather than fighting. around age sixteen, on a trip to hawaii, kojo wandered off to go study and hunt wild pokemon in the area, and after getting lost 😞 stumbled upon a type: null. he tried to study it, but accidentally triggered it into a fight, and somehow (main character plot armour; he just so happened to catch a passimian a few nights before) managed to catch it.

at age eighteen kojo’s team now consists of a garchomp, shiny greninja, lucario, midnight form lycanroc, a tinkaton, and silvally. this, however, is not his ‘main’ team, they are actually more active when he’s researching, as they are rather large and scary pokemon and therefore scare off distractions (wild pokemon) when he’s busy doing his job. when kojo fights, he switches pokemon every few fights, never really sticking to a pokemon other than garchomp. this doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about his pokemon, in fact, he is kind of hesitant to use certain pokemon, he’s just strategic and likes confusing other trainers— especially his lover and one of the two champions, qiu. other than fighting, kojo’s hobbies are studying and researching pokemon and their environments.

uhh in step 4 kojo just finished med school and starts his residency to become a cardiovascular surgeon but he still enjoys studying pokemon he just doesn’t have the time for it (sorry chat i’m too lazy and dont have his step 4 personality figured out yet okay bye)

OLNF X Pokemon Au I guess??

Meet the elite 4 of Golden Grove! They're a young group of friends that overcame all odds and became the elite 4 together! Will you took the challenge to beat them and became the best pokemon trainer in the region?

Also my Mc (Izzy) as a pokemon trainer with her Scorbunny!

P/s: More OLNF X Pokemon Au please! I can't wait to see what you all can cook!

DOODLES! How I think Dominic would interact with some other people’s OC’s! 

Izzy Atyra and Amelia Wood!

okay, i was suposed to study for my algebrics final exam but thats boring so i drew crysmo!  

(thats how i imagine that they would look in step 3 but using the step 1 fit cuz im too lazy to imagine another fit)

First time posting here! But here's my Oc! Hope you guys like him :3 (HES MY BABY UUGHH BE NICEEE) he's like 3 apples tall guys 

Hello! I found my sketchbook :D so I decided to digitalize (is it with a z or an s?) one of my stuff, and I'm very happy on how it turned out.

On a random note: I feel like Tamarack and Qiu (And maybe Cove?) would have Eevees as their partner pokemon because Our Life has many choices to make. Also it'd be really cute on how it progresses because maybe step 1 Tamarack wants a Leafeon or Sylveon because she loves the forest, and she loves how pretty a Sylveon is, and because those options fit with her Omi and Opa's home. and step 1 Qiu wants an Umbreon or Espeon because maybe Qiu's parents have one of each, and how they're 'mature' picks, and because of how most kids think  'Umbreon's the coolest looking eeveelution' so it should be natural for Qiu to have one as well. Then in step 2, Tamarack and Qiu are both unsure and possibly reluctant to evolve their Eevees. Tamarack's case, I feel like, is because she doesn't know what's the right choice for the Eevee, Qiu's is because they don't want to force the Eevee to be anything. Since both of them feel at a lost on who *they* are, they don't feel like they should be able to choose *for* their partner pokemon. Then in step 3 or 4, they finally get their ducks in a row and their partner pokemon evolves (or not), I don't really know how the last 2 steps of Tamarack and Qiu are like.

Whoa- that's a long rant, whoops?

I lied yesterday about not posting any drawings (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)

So here's a quick drawing that I did, it's not that good since I did it in 25 minutes

I saw this on Pinterest and needed to draw Fable like that. I'll probably do a better version of it once I'm actually back into drawing and actually want to spend 5+ hours on a drawing.

Anyway

Tomorrow's my birthday (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠)

rawr bye

Hey everyone i'm thinking about downloading the itch.io version since I have the steam version only. Is there more content in the itch io version or should I save my space on my computer and just wait for 2026 to roll around for the full release?

Lwk a wip... anyway look at my daughter:3

Hiiyaaa

Soo today’s supposed to be Stella’s birthday <3 I mean— yeah, I’m literally the one who picked this date for her like three years ago, so it kinda became canon 😭my phone still broken so I didn’t get to make a drawing or anything this time (pain), but I’ll probably do it in January when I finally get another (or fix my current one)

I really wanted to add a drawing too, but my twin didn’t lend me their phone this week, so that plan died instantly 😭 Maybe I’ll finish my plan in January or after Christmas, who knows <3 Anyway, happy birthday to my chaos child Star <3 She deserves confetti, fireworks and a mega parade (jk its my oc and im over exagerating but meh, she is practically my baby lmao)

btw, she has been my oc since im 9 so obviously her birth year isnt 2000, actually is 2004  (no, i wasn't 9 in 2004, i just choose that year as the stellas birth year) (anyways i haven't borned yet in 2004 lmao) but I adjusted the date on this card a little so that it matches the dates of Our Life Now and Forever 

Besides, she's an OC that wasn't created exclusively for when I play this visual novel.

In fact, I usually use Star for anything funny or to insert her into a series or book I like (those insert OCs never go beyond my own thoughts, which imagine her breaking things here and there).

......................................................

🌙 Stella D’ Allen

“If I can’t find magic, I’ll make some.”

Nickname: Star ☆

She prefers it — “Stella sounds like someone who wears shiny shoes and never gets dirty.”

Age: 10 Date of Birth: November 11th, 2000 Height: 1.23 m (and no, she doesn’t like being called short — “I’m still loading, just wait.”) Place of Birth: Italy Nationality: Italo-German (her mother is German; Stella was born in Italy but moved away when she was 4.) Handedness: Left-handed ✋ (she says that’s why her handwriting looks like a spy’s secret code.)

☁️ Appearance

Stella is albino — her hair and skin are pale, her eyes a soft lilac with silvery glints under the light. Because of her condition, she’s very sensitive to sunlight; her skin burns easily, and she can’t look directly at the sun without tearing up or feeling dizzy. On bright days, she always wears sunglasses — not because she thinks they’re cool, but because she has to.

“The sun and I have a complicated relationship. I like it best when it hides.” 

She feels self-conscious when people mention that her eyes seem to “tremble” — a natural nystagmus common among albinos.

“It’s not like I can tell them to stay still,” she mutters, trying to laugh it off.

There’s a thin scar on the left side of her neck, a reminder of the day she ran while holding scissors:

“I just wanted to see if I could be fast and careful.”

On the right side, a small mole appeared later — the first one she ever had. When she noticed it, she literally jumped in front of the mirror, shouting:

“Look! I can grow stars too!” 

❤️ Personality

Curious, easily distracted, and surprisingly intense for her age. She gets attached quickly — to a song, a person, a smell, even a fleeting thought. She’s moody, yes, but her emotions are honest and vivid. She believes everything — people, objects, and moments — has a story worth listening to. Her mind is full of half-finished plans, half-dreamed adventures, and a thousand ideas only she can follow.

🍎 Favorites & Habits

Favorite Color: Red — “because it feels alive, like it’s breathing.” Favorite Food: Pomegranates — she says they taste like little secrets that break open on your tongue. Likes: Rainy afternoons, soft blankets, whispered ghost stories, the smell of old books, and people who don’t treat her like a child. Dislikes: Math homework, harsh sunlight, being told she’s too young, when someone moves her things even a little bit, and people staring too long at her eyes.

🦋 Hobbies & Dreams

Sleeping (more than she have)

Pretending to be a model in front of the mirror with her favorite dresses

Making up stories about strangers she sees through windows

Drawing small symbols in the corners of her notebooks

Watching dust float in the sunlight and calling it “fairy powder”

Talking endlessly about the white Papillon she swears she’ll have one day — Lychee 🐾 “The collar’s ready. I just need the universe to hurry up.”

🌸 Fun Fact

For three weeks straight, she tried to teach a butterfly to land on her hand every morning. She’d stand in the same spot, at the same hour, whispering to it softly. It never worked — but now, every time she sees a butterfly, she waves.

“Maybe that one remembers me.” 

(sorry for the longish post)

Hellos all, I did want to come back to regular posting before the update this month like I did last year before the update back then, but I forgot </3

Anyway, my phone broke so I had sadly lost all the digital drawings I was in the middle of for my MCs, Tamarack, and Qiu plus other drawings that go back years, so I probably won't be posting drawings anytime soon because that's put a damper on drawing for me for awhile :(

And because of my phone breaking, I lost all progress in this game, soooooo~ I decided to redo Ryota and Fable's step one appearances (Fable just got new clothes, she's perfect the way she is)

Ryota before

Ryota after

I hated how "Star boy" sounded to be honest, so I just cut off the "boy". Plus gave him the eyes with the eyelashes because I can. And switched his earrings to stars because his nickname was/is "Star boy/Star", I don't know why I didn't put them on in the first place.

Fable before

Fable after

All I did was change her starting outfit, she's already perfect.

Fun fact! Fable hates the colour pink in step 1&2 but wears pink (mostly just in step one) because she wants to match with her older brother, Ryota, and pink is his favourite colour!

Thought I'd add in what Ryota and Fable call Opal in step one because why not?

What Ryota calls Opal in step 1, 2 & 3

What Fable calls Opal in Step 1 (she calls her Okaasan in all the rest of the steps afterwards)

Can y'all tell who's practically Opal's clone

rawr bye

Izzy said they look like blue bubblegum ice cream and honestly… yeah. i can’t unsee it now 😭💙

I wanted to redownload Android version and unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I am not sure if it because of my device or what, I managed to install the game, but I can't open it. But i didn't had this problem with ourlife ba, it work normal oike it should so i don't know what's the problem. Could someone help me figure it out?? :((

I have decided to remade Izzy introduction and character bio since the old one that I made is not that good lol. 

Izzy is usually a sweet and polite girl but when her mischief switch is on, she can be quite the troublemaker which causes Opal tons of headache. 

I made Charles from all the steps!!! I just need to color him...but I'm too lazy.In the first and second steps, Charles is very low. But at 16 he suddenly had a growth spurt, but now he is quite tall 

Hiyaa!! okayyyyyyyyyyyy
my phone stills broken (wow, 1 month)
and its not easy triyig to make some stella's art
soooooooooooooo

i wanna show you another of my oc's (mc's)

srry If I wrote it wrong, I was too sleepy to think straight

 (maybe ill do the step 2 in a few days)

Ummm throws this at you

full body-

My boy XiaoTao (which basically means peach in Mandarin), this is his step 1 appearance, he's just a silly little mute boy who's bottling up too much rage to speak out loud himself since he deems his own opinions "Unworthy of voicing out loud" 

(If anyone wants to draw him that would make my day!)

Am a big fan of the first Our Life game and really love the new one so far. I'm really excited for the demo update! I heard it's happening november but was wondering if that meant like any day now, or closer to december? Been checking nearly every cause I don't want to miss the release :)
