8:47 PM - Reshy: okay, it's built off the work that was done on the original mewtwo part, what they learned while mucking about with mew's DNA as it holds each other pokemon's dna in it
8:47 PM - Reshy: a library so to speak
8:48 PM - Reshy: the project was canned after mewtwo destroyed the lab and killed several critical personel
8:49 PM - Reshy: later the data was recovered and used to start a new project with fresh funding by an anonymous benffactor interested in genetic engineering
8:49 PM - Reshy: they started the pokemorphing project (name pending)
8:50 PM - Reshy: much research was done as to how to best do the process
8:50 PM - Reshy: the first attempts at hybridizing pokemon and humans were based on human test subjects.
8:51 PM - Reshy: either volunteer or acquired through other means, they were put though the 'alpha' stage of the testing which focused on low level experimentation
8:53 PM - Reshy: these 'proto-morphs' had little to no noticible physical alterations, and were mostly used to test the technologies that would be later adapted to the actual pokemorphing project
8:57 PM - Reshy: However, some occasionally developed surprisingly well, developing certain useful abilities.  While certainly not comparable to a pokemon or a pokemorph they were still signifigant at the early stages as it proved that yes it was indeed possible to conveys the abilities of a pokemon to a human.
9:00 PM - Reshy: westwind?
8:59 PM - Westwind: Hi!
9:00 PM - Westwind: I was wondering if you were going to continue
9:00 PM - Reshy: well
9:00 PM - Reshy: thoughts so far
9:00 PM - Reshy: *since it's a bit different*
9:01 PM - Westwind: Sounds good. I might be getting a bit ahead, but is it going to be a clear 50/50 split at the end of it all?
9:02 PM - Reshy: as close as possible, of cours ethere will be some variation.  humans one tend to remain more human *eg mass* while pokemon based ones may be bigger or smaller
9:02 PM - Reshy: basically
9:02 PM - Reshy: anywhere betwee 60-40%
9:02 PM - Reshy: it's not an exact science
9:02 PM - Reshy: :v
9:02 PM - Westwind: Mmkay
9:02 PM - Reshy: put the gene in the wrong place and something bad can happen
9:02 PM - Reshy: anyway
9:03 PM - Reshy: these protomorphs are largely absent by the time this goes on, as most never developed any noticible changes and went about their normal lives.  Some very few developed interesting 'talents'.  These characters of course would be heavily restricted like humans currently are in pmm
9:05 PM - Reshy: *basically they're not the main attraction, they're garnish*
9:05 PM - Westwind: right
9:05 PM - Reshy: since they were basically tyhe alpha test, no new ones were ever made once it hit the 'beta test' of the development
9:06 PM - Reshy: basically what they did is that since they already sequenced the genome of mew they basically had the blueprint for every pokemon by default, so they tried to figure out how stuff works, how it's activated, where it needs to be placed in order to function, etc.
9:08 PM - Reshy: the beta-test however was a much more seirous envedour and was the rocky part of the project
9:09 PM - Reshy: it was considerably more dangerous as it involved making the test subjects grow and develop into a more recognizably pokemon shape
9:10 PM - Reshy: it was prone to failure and terrible mutation andhad very few successful trials
9:11 PM - Reshy: now a year or two ago I had written some of this out, it's old and will likely be changed, but it was intended to be more horrific.
9:11 PM - Westwind: Ah
9:12 PM - Reshy: basically the process was akin to 'bashing genetic information together and seeing what stuck'
9:13 PM - Reshy: it required a human and a pokemon in order to work, the pokemon would be turned into a sort of genetic paste, like ditto but not sentient or carrying the genes of all but the intended pokemon
9:14 PM - Reshy: *think like mass effect 2's human-repear baby thing*
9:14 PM - Westwind: I don't know what mass effect is
9:18 PM - Westwind: Sorry :x
9:19 PM - Reshy: trying to fiiind the cutscene
9:19 PM - Reshy: it's pretty grim
9:19 PM - Westwind: :s
9:21 PM - Reshy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si_P8BypaUk
9:23 PM - Westwind: oh my goodness o_o
9:24 PM - Reshy: yep
9:24 PM - Reshy: only less bloody
9:24 PM - Reshy: :V
9:24 PM - Reshy: the pokemon was more or less dissolved
9:24 PM - Westwind: ehckg
9:25 PM - Reshy: then it would go into a tank which would treat it and the subject would recieve it's sedation and preliminary treatments to increase success
9:26 PM - Reshy: afterwards the treated paste would be funneled in and it would start to attach to the body and be absorbed by it
9:27 PM - Reshy: *the paste also was nutrient filled to provide the necessary energy to grow*
9:28 PM - Reshy: basically, the end result was the genetic information of the pokemon suspended in a specialized concoction of nutrients, growth hormones, and binding agents that would make sure the genetic information got where it needed
9:28 PM - Reshy: however it was prone to massive failure
9:28 PM - Reshy: *as one might guess*
9:29 PM - Reshy: it also had the drawback of only being really capable of being used on smaller pokemon, any larger than the human wouldn't work because they'd either break out or simply not fit the tank
9:29 PM - Reshy: *tyranitar for example*
9:29 PM - Westwind: yes x)
9:30 PM - Reshy: eventually the first successful test subject that didn't either die for various reasons or end up heavily mutated was an eevee
9:30 PM - Reshy: it was theorized that due to it's highly adaptive genetic code that it would likely be one of the better suited canidates
9:31 PM - Reshy: but of course, one successful test subject is all you need
9:32 PM - Westwind: mhm
9:33 PM - Reshy: but it had the unfortunate effect of demoralizing the personel involved with observing the tank, along with being prohibitly expensive
9:33 PM - Reshy: a smaller more efficent method was required
9:34 PM - Reshy: the next stage was mostly aimed at pokemon, as scientists guessed that a pokemon-based one would be more liekly to surivive in tact due to their inherent ability to withstand massive structual changes that occur when they evolve
9:35 PM - Reshy: it was also considerably easier to capture pokemon and use them as opposed to a human which could cause authorities to start snooping around
9:36 PM - Westwind: This is great
9:37 PM - Westwind: Please keep going <3
9:37 PM - Westwind: ..
9:37 PM - Westwind: Or is that the end? :v
9:38 PM - Reshy: it was also considerably easier to culture the genetic and cellular material from existing team rocket grunts than it was to try and extract it from a live pokemon
9:41 PM - Reshy: the new process involved administering the concoction by Intravenous therapy over a long duration, the pokemon undergoing the process could be suspended in one of several ways usually either suspended in a sterile tank or on an operating table
9:42 PM - Reshy: the latter being the more popular method, as it could reuse the older tanks used in the previous genration while cutting down on the risk of the pokemon harming itself if the sedative isn't effective
9:42 PM - Reshy: of course this isn't an option with certain pokemon, like charmander or slugma
9:43 PM - Reshy: *well axe slugma entirely, it's animated lava, but still with charmander and it's fiery tail*
9:43 PM - Westwind: right
9:43 PM - Reshy: can't suspend a lot of pokemon in the pokemon equivilant of a bacta tank
9:43 PM - Reshy: :V
9:44 PM - Reshy: charmander's tail would be snuffed out, for example
9:44 PM - Westwind: is it actually supposed to die if that thing goes out :|a
9:44 PM - Westwind: bleh, anyway
9:45 PM - Reshy: yeah
9:45 PM - Reshy: basically
9:45 PM - Reshy: they suspended test subjects in bacta tanks
9:45 PM - Reshy: :V
9:46 PM - Reshy: anyway
9:46 PM - Reshy: the project was many time more successful than previous methods, but it had the drawback of taking a long time; weeks to months
9:47 PM - Reshy: however, it was considerably less resource intensive, compared to previous methods, and far more successful than the 'frankenstien' generation
9:49 PM - Reshy: further developments lead to the 'single injection' method, which required only a single Intravenous injection in order to complete the process
9:49 PM - Reshy: it was considerably slower, but had two main advantages
9:50 PM - Reshy: it didn't disable the pokemon or human undergoing the process
9:50 PM - Reshy: it was cheaper and more easily distributed than even the last method
9:51 PM - Reshy: instea dof requiring expensive cocktails of healing and nutrients the human or pokemon could consume food or water instead and carry on daily activities
9:51 PM - Reshy: the process however, took a very long time, usually months to even years in some instances

9:54 PM - Reshy: still here?
9:54 PM - Reshy: :c
9:54 PM - Westwind: Yes I am
9:54 PM - Reshy: you read it?
9:54 PM - Westwind: of course!
9:54 PM - Reshy: and?
9:54 PM - Westwind: I like the variations in procedures
9:55 PM - Westwind: But a question came up in my mind
9:55 PM - Reshy: yep?
9:55 PM - Westwind: Just what year are we in?
9:55 PM - Reshy: ####
9:55 PM - Westwind: Ah
9:55 PM - Westwind: yes
9:55 PM - Westwind: Fine year
9:55 PM - Reshy: *hasn't worked on the time line yet, wants to get the details straight first*
9:55 PM - Westwind: Good idea
9:56 PM - Reshy: anyway
9:56 PM - Westwind: That last one
9:56 PM - Westwind: Is that the one being used currently?
9:56 PM - Reshy: the success of the project lead to a large increase in poaching of pokemon, which drew the attention of team plasma
9:56 PM - Reshy: *techinically all are in use, depending on situation, though the 'first generation' is usually reserved for those meddling kids*
9:57 PM - Westwind: the alpha or?
9:57 PM - Reshy: the alpha test is proto
9:57 PM - Westwind: oh
9:58 PM - Reshy: first generation is also known as the frankenstine generation
9:58 PM - Reshy: like
9:58 PM - Reshy: meddling kids got you down?  throw them and their precious partner pokemon into the tanks and let's see if we can't make something useful out of them
9:58 PM - Westwind: o_o
9:59 PM - Reshy: what?
9:59 PM - Westwind: Nothing
9:59 PM - Reshy: you made the o_o face so...
10:00 PM - Reshy: somethinmg wrong?
10:00 PM - Reshy: .w.
10:01 PM - Westwind: meddling kids makes me think of that cartoon
10:01 PM - Westwind: what
10:01 PM - Westwind: Mystery Machine
10:01 PM - Westwind: no
10:01 PM - Westwind: Scooby-Doo
10:01 PM - Westwind: Anyway :v
10:01 PM - Westwind: pleeeease continue? c:
10:04 PM - Reshy: well kinda yeah
10:04 PM - Reshy: you know
10:05 PM - Reshy: it's meant as a kind of torture basicallyu
10:05 PM - Reshy: anyway
10:05 PM - Reshy: the massive poaching resulted in some pokemon being nearly extinct in the wild, such as eevee and it drew the attention of team plasma
10:06 PM - Reshy: team plasma happened tohave raided one of the morphing facilities and got access to the data detailing the process
10:07 PM - Reshy: which in turn caused plasma to basically evolve into an entirely different monster
10:08 PM - Reshy: eventually leading to the morph virus several years later
10:08 PM - Reshy: which I think I already detailed, right?
