retrospec | Attached: Guide to Retrospec and Related Issues

Hello everyone. If you know or don't know me my name is Elda Marker (as you can see from the username) and I've been on this app since May. It's been increasingly frustrating to me to have to disseminate large amounts of information to people who weren't here for August or just explaining the basics of the basics to new people who are added to the app every other month.

And so I've taken upon myself to make a guide for Retrospec and the related information that we've amassed.

[ Guide ]
[ ICly this guide would be linked to in a Google Doc or something and have a download link for a pdf ]

Obviously though, I don't know everything. If you have information that I don't, if some of the information is confusing to you, or if some of my information is incorrect, please feel free to step forward with that information. For the time being I'm going to keep editing it personally just so that the information remains controlled in one spot (so as to not make conflicting narratives) but I highly recommend that you download this guide so that if I am removed from the app you can continue to edit it after I don't remember making it.

I hope that this guide will be helpful for those of you who are currently confused or for better informing new people added to the app in future. Obviously, this can't be just a link and forget type thing, as there is a *lot* of information, but the hope would be it could a resource.

Thank you for your time.

[ OOC: So I'll keep updating this guide over time, feel free to submit IC corrections/additions here and if there's a want for it I'll make a (real) Google Doc version too? Feel free to contact me OOC if you have any concerns you'd like to work out that way. The guide was amassed based on stuff Elda knows from various IC avenues like network discussions and her own experiences ]

I have to say, you made this guide more informative for the new users to read, Elda. Marvelous job!

Well I hope I did, I wrote it with that in mind.

At any case, this will give any new users some information so they can be prepared for any kinds of changes around here.

Hopefully!

It all depends on if people spread it and how its used. So I'll be counting on everyone else.

Do you see anything which would do well to be added?

I would consider you adding the information about the creatures that Silver and I had, but I prefer if you hold that information for now.

Considering that I'm still trying to organize what I know from my memories, I doubt I have more information about them.

As a PSA to have people not attack them, you mean?

Yes. With more memories flashing in me, I feel that there are more creatures that seemed very friendly to humans.

I feel it's best they know about these Pokemon creatures just in case.

Is that with the assumption that more might eventually arrive?

Yes. I just recently obtained a new Pokemon this month. It's an orange fox that I saw from one of my memories. I also heard that Silver also had a new creature called a Sneasel.

At this point, last he showed me, he had four of them.

Four Pokemon?!

Mon Dieu! I can't imagine how many memories of those creatures with him all day.

They do seem incredibly important to him, so

If he does have memories of him with those creatures, then I can imagine his other self really cared about them like mine with Modeste.

Oh that much I can assure you. They were clearly his best friends

I'm very glad to hear about their relationship. Although I'm starting to wonder if they could get along with my Pokemon other than Modeste.

Probably? I don't know how those work but outside of Clifford, they all seem pretty reasonable.

Clifford? Is that the name Silver gave to one of his Pokemon?

Yes. He's named them Aoi, Clifford, Berry and... I think the last one was Princess but I forget that one.

I'm happy to hear that he gave them names.

Though, I still need to decide with the names for those two Pokemon.

Oh yeah? Well, I'm sure you can do it.

I hope so. I can’t just wait for another memory to know their species name.

Oh, you didn't get it when you go the tykes?

Strangely, no. How did Silver got their species names other than Totodile?

No idea? Maybe the same way! You can ask him, I guess?

I guess. At any case, I hope this guide will aid any future users. I'll let you know if I have new information regarding these creatures.
