The Drinky Puppy Club - Official Thread

Url of the blog requested!
I'd love to post the URL but I feel it should be up to Kobun (Kohler) or Smiles (Naz) to reveal the site. It's actually looking pretty damn good, a shame we couldn't register Nintendogs however.

In other news my Drinky Puppy will be a champion of the dog kingdom, except whenever I mention whisky he'll sit down. Oh yes a drunkard he'll be.
 
I think a name like Boner or Woody would work well, for obvious reasons.

I still have no plans to buy this game, but I fear for what might happen after I see one of your copies...

Neither did I until I got wrapped up in this. At first I thought it was a joke but I was wrong, ha ha.

Now my girlfriend and her niece and nephew are excited for the game. It's like Naz unleashed chaos into my life and everyone is excited to play the free "Drinky Puppy Game." I shit you not the 8 year old niece only calls it that. Drinky touches the hearts children all around the world.
 
Drinky shall own all boners and woodies!

Hey its not like I expected the game to do well beyond the Japanese Female market.
Its not that I even wanted the game myself, but after a few deleted Nintendogs threads I had enough.

I wanted a way to get Drinky Crow and Nintendogs play nice :D

I am very happy that in some parts of the world the word "Drinky" means Nintendogs :lol

Keep up the good fight!

Puppy Love will save the world. Now to send Nintendogs to China as a sign of Peace :)
 
Drinky Ram journal entry #2: Drinky goes walkies

I had only one thing in mind for Drinky today - his first walk outside the house.

After selecting the walk option from the menu ( おでかけ > 散歩 ), I drew my planned path on the map. I made sure to include a couple of mysterious looking question marks on my path, to see what was going on. Looping back to our house, the walk would be brief because Drinky is still a young one and tires easily.

So off we went. It was nighttime, since the real time was around midnight, and we soon reached the first question mark on the map. Drinky scampered off and came back with a present for me - a photograph of another dog. He didn't seem too interested in it, though. We kept walking, Drinky relieved himself a few times (two pees, one poo) and then we reached the second question mark. Here, another dog appeared. Drinky tried to make friends, but the other pooch was a bit aggressive, so Drinky soon became scared. Hurriedly, the other dog's owner scampered off with her pooch. So we finished off the stroll home and I fed Drinky some dry biscuits and let him have at a full bowl of fresh water.

I tried to teach him "shake hands" and "roll over", but it seems like he will take a while to learn these new tricks. I've left him to play with a tennis ball now, anyway. I need to catch some Zs so I can look after him properly tomorrow!

You think so? I didn't do much to it.

I sent a PM to el FOLDER and el SHURIKEN because I love them
 
I ordered my Candy Pink DS from NCS as well, so I hope that the game arrives on the same day so I can give my Drinky Puppy some tender love as soon as possible!! <3

Oh and I agree, the blog looks great demi! :D You could probably let people know the URL anytime now.

Jonny or anyone

How do you earn more money to buy more dogs? I presume in the competitions, but my pup's too stupid to catch a frisbee right now, so...

Also, does the shop selection improve/change as you play? Right now it's kinda lame, and I'd hate to think all those cool hats and stuff are random drops during walks only...
 
Smiles and Cries said:
You are the master, you have to train it, you wanted him to be a champ from the start?

Right, thus the "right now." :)

I'm just wondering if there's any way to earn money these first few days, or if I just need to pet him and play frisbee until he gets better at it.
 
Love those pups...

Does this game progress like Seaman, where you can only progress a little bit each day, Like Animal Crossing, where you play and progress, but it's time dependent, or more like Monster Rancher, where you progress based on the amount of game time you invest?
 
Unison
wow, you have some very good questions here, I can't wait to find out the answers myself.

JackFrost2012
From what I have been reading online I could not answer hopefully Jonnyram can help us out

Making sure the pup is not hungry during training would be my first bet to how to improve his skills. I hope the AI gets better over time and training, the dogs don't physically grow but they get smarter with trainning over time is kinda cool.

So this would mean it is all up to the master how skilled the puppy gets over time.

The less game play time you give your pup the less skilled he should be. (I hope)

Are you trying to buy a second pup already? :P I think you'll just have to keep training him until he's good enough for the contest. I haven't found anyway to get money anyway. Maybe you can train him to attack the people you pass on your walks then steal their wallets?
 
How do you say "fuse" in english? Down? It's like sit, but they put their whole body on the ground - it's in that video. Hmm....
 
in that vid when he rolls on his back would that fit "Play Dead" ??

Down!

Sit!

Shake!

Play Dead!

Roll over!

Speak!

I never had a dog so I am not sure what list of tricks dogs can learn.

Jonny why are you teaching your pup in english? :lol

Can you help me teach my dog in Japanese?
I think it would be cool if I gave my friends my DS to play with my dog but he never sits until I say it in Japanese :D
 
Funny, only partially relevant story.

Our dog and cat have a very complex relationship. Initially, the dog, Sprocket, could not be calm around the cat, D'Arcy. She had to chase her around the house. So the cat would spend most of her time outside.

After a couple of years, they started to get along a little more. Sprocket could see D'Arcy and not want to chase her down, pin her to the ground, and lick her head (although she did occasionally attempt to indulge in this). Sometimes she'd try to start a fight by bopping D'Arcy with her snout, which usually ended up getting a cat claw stuck in the spongy part of her nose. Always amusing.

So I'm talking to my brother, who still lives out there, the other night. He tells me that he was going to give her a chewy, and she was pretending to not want it. So he says to her, "Well, I'll give it to D'Arcy then" and holds it in front of the cat. Sprocket, unexpectedly, FLIPS OUT ON THE CAT. Totally freaks. Starts going nuts barking at her and tearing after her all over the house. Power struggle.

He says that if Sprocket's in the other room, all he has to do is shout, "D'Arcy, what are you doing?" and Sprocket will instantly jump to attention and tear through the house and finds the cat, and confirms what she is doing.
 
Just saw the IGN video, :lol much more here than I initially thought. This should take japan by storm, & potentially even spike DS sales.
 
"Sprocket could see D'Arcy and not want to chase her down, pin her to the ground, and lick her head "

Did Sprocket ever moonwalk, because i'm betting that was a minaturized Jacko , not Sprocket...

i bet that poor animal was sexually abused at Neverland against it's will... you should sue.

I will join team Drinky tonight, football match depending. As Jonnyram has Dach, i'll go for Shiba - i'd imagine that , thanks to the Aiful adverts , the chiwawa has sold out well and truly.

Nothing better than playing on the top of a 12 story building when it's pissing down with rain. :(

We do wonder about her. I think she is a lesbian. Every time I have a female friend over to the house, Sprocket immediately runs up to greet them and shoves her nose right in their crotch. Hard. For a while.

But yeah, she chased the cat for a long time before she ever actually caught her. She sort of stamps down with a front leg and traps her, then spends the precious few seconds that she has her pinned down licking her head, sometimes going inside the ear if it is a good day.

Needless to say this is one of the funniest god damn things ever to witness.

I got Chihuahua, so getting Shiba would be good!
 
It just dawned on me, I can't wait until online DS gaming. I see the drinky puppy club evolving into a clan of sorts. OH THE GOODNESS

Welcome to Drinky Puppy Town (Animal Crossing)

Drinky Puppy Raceway! (Mario Kart)

Let's make Drinky's name synonymous with the DS.
