On this day, 15 years ago, THE DOG Island -ひとつの花の物語- first released for Wii and PS2 in Japan. (26th April 2007)

Happy 15th birthday, THE DOG Island!

he is in the comfort of his own home....

I didn't know you were knowledgeable on meme husbandry too! Perhaps you can help me out? I have a bouncy ball pikachu, and while he seems very happy and content in his ball, I've heard that I should Free Him. Is this true? Should I Free Him?

From the TACM Meme Husbandry Expert: I advise that you confirm whether the Pikachu in your ball is a Pokémon, notably comfortable inside a ball for extended periods of time, or a meme--one of the increasingly rare Free Him memes.

One possible method to determine which you have in your ball is to engage in combat with a wild animal and shout, "Pikachu, I choose you!" If you have a genuine Pokémon, it should emerge from the ball at this time. If not, it is possible that you have a Free Him in your ball. However, it is also possible you have observed the first of a new related species of meme that prefers to remain inside the ball. While the naming of the new meme would be up to you, I recommend "It's Nice In Here"

erm. obsessed with making stupid little color palettes. most of these are named after songs I like

THE DOG Island has a fishing minigame!

Since the original Pawville Prompts was so long ago and I've heard there may be a new one in the works, I decided to represent the final few days of the original prompts by grouping them together into a handful of scribbles ft. one decent Bartholomew. That said, I did have plenty of big ideas for the original week that I may still draw in the future (or perhaps even some writing?). More info on my "answers" to the prompts under the read more!

Day 4: Townsfolk

My favourite NPC is Bartholomew. I came to see him as one of the most interesting characters, even though we see so little of him. He may only be around for 5 minutes at the end of the game, but he's around forever in my heart.

Day 5: Day Out

My favourite area is Jade Fields - it has such calm music and is just a nice place to be. I also like how even though it's one of the first places you visit, it leads to one of the last, with Lonesome Park having a much different atmosphere. There's a real contrast there and I think it's good for both of them

Day 6: Hat Stealer

Fun fact - Ivlet actually never speaks again after he escapes from jail, his last line being "I've been waiting for this...!" It's not really related to the week, but I found it interesting when I realised it. I'm also interested in drawing his different form(s) at some point, since they seem quite underrepresented in fanart. Can't forget the dragon as well.

(i really ran out of juice for this drawing sorry)

Day 7: Free Day

My original idea for this day was redrawing the Japanese boxart, but having a mix of dog and cat designs, or maybe even including both. I've been quite biased towards the cat designs because they're the ones I'm used to, but this is cartainly one way of evening things out. I don't know if I'm ever going to do this, though, so if someone else wants to try it, please please do!

And finally:

There are so many amazingly skilled artists among the fans of this game and it's awesome to see. I'm looking forward to what the future has in store :D
