Thread 58352472

A thread for the creation and discussion of fan fiction and other fanworks - anything that involves a story and/or reading. What've you been reading? What've you been writing? What would you like to see more of?

>Thread question:
What are some myths that an isekaijin might believe but could actually be untrue?

Cubone wearing the skull of its mother.
What the fuck happens when the mom is not dead?

>>58352525
I could see it as:
The skull and bones are scavenged from prey. It just so happens that it was once observed a Cubone taking a skull from a dead Marowak.
or
Cubone or Marowak behavior includes smearing clay or mud on their faces which when combined with ground type energy, hardens into a bone like helmet.

The majority of Pokedex entries because they sound like bullshit most of the time

>>58352472 (OP)
Could I get rich by catching a Koffing, bottle its neutralizing gas and selling it as a battle item?

>>58352654
Neutralizing gas' effect disappears as soon as the ability goes off field. It could be that once a Pokemon stops breathing it in, it's ability comes back shortly after.
Try gastro acid instead.

>>58352472 (OP)
Mewtwo is the world's strongest pokemon.

>>58352728
Bro, your steel types? Just grow Worry Seeds instead. They do the same thing but they also get rid of sleep, which is a weakness. You can keep popping them indefinitely and just ignore the growing paranoia and psychosis. Nobody will EVER catch you off guard again

Just read the lastest chapter of In Mine Own haha

Say sike right now.

So I was reading through reviews in random stories and found people seething about humans being the focus of said stories, how common is that?

Cosmog is an Ultra Beast.

Typical for the average friendless furfag, unable to relate to fellow human beings and with a permanent hard-on for the family golden retriever

I really wish there were more good PokeAni/PokeSpe crossovers
Mostly, I want to see the Rocket Triad interacting with Jesse and James

>>58353050
You said this last thread. Technically my fic is an Anime/Manga/Game crossover, but that's more of a background element.

>>58353092
And I didn't get a reply then

>>58352882
Tee-hee

>>58353050
>there were more good PokeAni/PokeSpe crossovers
This implies there are crossover stories already which is something I have honestly never seen, from my shallow knowledge the last I checked both sides hate each other, as in not just Ashfags vs Redfags but in general so you would need a middle ground to make everyone (or the 5 guys reading it anyways because both fandoms are dead nowadays) happy

>>58353254
>>58353254
I just had Red, Ash, and Chase all be trainers who began their journeys at different points in time. Ash and Red don't have a lot of overlap when it comes to their stories, and Special Red didn't even get his Pikachu from Oak if I remember. They can easily exist beside each other without much issue.

For the record, background elements in my fic currently have Red working in Alola, Ash still chilling post Masters 8, and Chase being the last victim of the Indigo Champion curse.

Honestly, Ash has more contridictions with Elio/Selene than Red. Only one of them can be the first champion of Alola after all, so you can't even fudge it by saying one of them beat the other.

>>58353254
I've found a few but they are... not great
Which is a pity, because there are some mixes you could easily do, like Ash fighting Jesse and James at Silph Co. while the Dex Holders fight the Triad and then having Pikachu help in taking down ZapMolCuno

>>58353449
>Only one of them can be the first champion of Alola after all, so you can't even fudge it by saying one of them beat the other.
You can tho, iirc O My Celebi wasn't about changing the past but going to a different timeline because the original timeline shouldn't disappear so you can make use of that to make him the Alola champion in a fallen timeline them go back to the main timeline

IMOFAG YOU MOTHERFUCKER I HATE YOU YOOU PIECE OF SHIT MOTHERFUCKER WHYYYYYY

>>58353518
Well yeah, but I'm talking about a single consistent timeline with out any parallel world fuckery. I see it as an interesting puzzle to try and make a logical explanation for the contradictions. Like if I mix anime, game, and manga Sabrina's together what is her life like.

>>58353050
>>58353462
Why don't you write it? You seem to already have some ideas.

Who should be the Alolan Champion in a near future from the timeline? Hau? Elio or Selene?

>>58353737
Guzma. Would be a neat twist.

>>58353737
that dragon nigga

>>58353737
I always figured Hau was being groomed as the next Kahuna of Melemele. If you don’t want to go canon protag as the champ (understandable), Gladion’s probably your best bet. He doesn’t seem like he’d be a good Aether admin long term, with Lillie filling that role better. As another anon said, Guzma would be interesting as a champ (maybe throw a Buzzwole on his team to beef it up). Plumeria as Kahuna of Ula’Ula also makes sense if you enough time’s passed for Nanu to want to retire. The general vibe of Team Skull (well, New Team Skull post-game) looking out for the outcasts/losers seems very Kahuna-y, and gives an excuse for you to go to Po Town (if they’re not villains of course).

>>58353623
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying it.

>>58354000
>and gives an excuse for you to go to Po Town
No thanks, I wouldn't like to disturb the prince

Well stop it.

Is Pokéball crafting a lost art in the current timeline of the games?

>>58355033
>character stranded in dangerous wilderness crafts a natural pokeball to catch a single pokemon and then fights his way out
Would be kino

>>58355033
No but it is illegal to craft a natural pokeball without a loicense. The license itself is virtually impossible to get thanks to lobbyists(people who bribe government officials).

>>58355127
I defeat the license officer in a pokemon battle. Now all of his licenses officially belong to me.

I Just Want to Relax in Another World but I Keep Winning Pokemon Battles

Someone just predicted a team member for my MC’s team that won’t even be there for like 80 chapters. My flabber is gasted.

>>58355760
what fic?

>>58355778
[Spoiler]Poo Town. The crazy part is the Pokémon in question replaces a current party member that leaves in arc 7 (with absolutely no foreshadowing or context)[/spoiler]

I’m legitimately impressed, but I didn’t even hint at the thing.

>>58355877
I guess parentheses are not a thing inside spoiler tags, TIL

>>58355882
I think it was because you capitalized the first spoiler bracket

>>58355887
This is what I get for phone posting.

>>58355760
You know what to do. Completely throw out your script and make something completely different happened. That'll show people you're smart and unpredictable.

At this point, it'd be subversive to have the yellow rat be in the main party but how would you innovate on Pikachu?
Main the cosplay-chus, call it schizophrenic?
inFAMOUS Pikachu?

>>58356142
The second party member in my FF fic has a shoulder mon pikachu as her ace. Between her, her Pikachu, and her Meowth they have 1 braincell but they left it at home.

>>58356192
Yes, had an Entei cock vore Erika

The fact that vorefags are just okay with showing off their snuff fetish will never not be funny to me.

Can I get the qrd on this schizo?

Wild, huh? I just found this

>>58356267
A black jew that got expelled from college after harassing a girl, and now that I think about it he does sound more like one of Jeeta's cousins

>>58356286
>Didn't deny being Jeeta's cousin
Huh, it does make more sense now

It’s a truly wonderful thing when you drop hints outside of the narrative and the commenters deny it and try to prove you wrong.

>>58356268
This shows up like once a month, though this is the first time I've actually scene from the anime. Also busts the time that someone argued it was like 2000 years ago.
I'm pretty sure I argued it was 2000 years ago at one point, based on a typo I found online. Oopsie. I really oughta watch the anime all the way through.

>>58356672
>This shows up like once a month
I didn't know to be fair, but kinda neat how that pic gives the idea that the anime happens a few years after our WW2 and how there were some hints about the great war with Surge in the games

>>58356268
Ash started his journey in 1997 and he still was 10 years old in XY, so it makes sense

>>58356722
So 239 years? Also do we know when does Hisui take place? Iirc the most common theory is 150 or so years before Red/FireRed

>>58355943
I hope the pootown guy sticks with it and makes that one reader of his really happy :)
>>58356268
Calling the world building autists, XXX years since what? What would be the important calendar setting moment in your world?

>>58356863
I will keep it the way it’s intended, it’s too big a deal to change. I was just very surprised as I haven’t dropped any hints other than that Pokémon’s presence.

>>58356863
iirc our calendar was based on the Romans and was later corrected by the church to make it line up with Easter being the Equinox and 1 AD being the birth of Christ.
Typically ancient calendars aligned with the birth or coronation of a ruler so you can run with this idea. Problem being there isn't a giant multi region spanning conquering empire in Pokemon.
So, I'd propose this theory. The addition of the year is a recent thing, like 500-600 years ago or a little earlier. Some scholars got together and decided to base year 1 on the formation of the planet. Positing it as, if various religions claim that Groudon or Kyogre were responsible for the creation of the planet, then it can't be that old since they are still around and they could just be really long lived Pokemon.
Of course they were horribly incorrect on the age of the planet but no one really objected to it at the time and just went with it. Nowadays, it's a subject of ridicule but no one has proposed a better solution so it stuck. Not to mention the hassle of changing everything to line up with a new calendar.

>>58356863
I was going to joke say it was when Arceus got knocked up by human cock, but given what it represents in our world it actually makes a little sense.

>>58357519

>Cannot be OP just because MC plot armor
>No fateful meeting thing or be the starter
>Not be a cunt at first, and by extension, not have similar personality traits to those of Ash and Friede Pikachus
The cosplay Pikachu kind of feel like a cop-out or like taking the easy way out.

>>58356863
The epoch is when whatever church that exists as the major religion decided Pokemon and humanity were no longer one. Other regions could lag behind thanks to not having that religion until much later.

How much of the digital traffic is from Pokémon pretending to be humans?

>>58358241
Crystal Light is medieval fantasy drama with cool pokemon battles.

PokeNormal is a horror themed mystery comedy that I am absolutely jumping the shark this coming chapter.

Pick your poison. I actually spell check Crystal Light, I just blindingly type PokeNormal directly into Ao3 without and hit submit to save my progress.

>>58358324
>>Not starter
>>Cannot be OP just because MC plot armor
>>No fateful meeting thing or be the starter

Fake and gay, I do these three at least with Crystal Light's pikachu. Ironically enough I just started watching Konasuba and evidently the Gimmick of Pikachu only knowing Thunder and getting off one shot per fight is not as original as I thought. But I was planning on next chapter being a training episode for it so thats fine.

>>58358528
Honestly there isn't even a need to pretend. People make accounts for their dogs or cats. Pokémon could straight up run their own accounts.

>>58358752
Well, I for one would make fun of them and call them slurs

>>58356142
Have it actually evolve. We need more Raichu representation in fics. I'm kind of floating around the idea of my MC eventually getting a Raichu in the fic I keep procrastinating on.[/spoilers]

>>58360057
It's interesting how this is such a common thought in the fanfic community yet there's no fic that's done it and got past the first several chapters. Not even a "I was isekai'd as James after he fucking killed himself to escape the marriage".

>>58359997
>In this realistic world I am the only one able to take Pokémon attacks without damage

>>58360490
>that single frame of his leg being visible
kek

>>58360225
Is there a particular reason why? Could it be something like people who like James don't necessarily like the other members of Team Rocket? Half of his identity is tied to TR.

>>58361011
I don't know. I think it's just chance really. Most fics don't make it past the first 10 or so chapters to begin with, and only a few people have given the James thing a shot.

>>58359997
Anything related to the ghost/spirit world

>>58360225
>>58361011
>>58361315
Because TR are narrative dead-ends.
If you start something like that late into the anime so that you can have access to all of their mons then 90% of the anime has already passed. If you start it early enough so that it is before joining TR and they have Growlie or whatever then you're getting rid of the TR part of it that's their entire identity and core of the character and through which all the events that form him as a character do not happen anymore so it's basically just an OC with blue hair and a Growlithe.
The only solution is going full AU but at that point are you really writing about them and not just glorified OCs?
There's also the fact that the average TRfact just likes them as a vague idea and concept who cherrypicks their best moments and they all forget that in reality TR are absolute complete and utter total nuisances that all but ruin practically all episodes by getting shoehorned on all of them interrupting the plots on them.
Trust me, if you ever re-watch the episode, one of the most guaranteed things that'll happen is that you will end up full of HATRED for TR because of how obstrusive they are. There's a reason why the anime decreased their screentime more and more and more as the years went until it was nearly non-existent. And people rejoiced in that choice. Not even the anime knew what to do with them anymore.
In short, TR are very uninteresting and very limited characters for which you have to go the distance to write interestingly, and if you're put in that much effort, might as well put in that effort into other better things.

>>58362186
All this talk of TR actually makes me realize that they would probably get along with the protagonist of PokeNormal (eternally broke former conman turned paranormal detective) pretty well. I definitely need to shoehorn them in somehow.

>>58362216
TR can be good as sides.
The best use for them I've personally seen is the MC treating them well and them becoming the MC's flunkies and the MC their not-boss who puts their actual talents like machinery stuff to good use.
Some characters aren't mean to be main characters. Sometimes they're just side-characters. And that's okay. I don't understand this modern obsession about muh wasted character muh character potential. Side-characters are side-characters for a reason.

>>58362468
The problem is that they're obssessed with Giovanni and TR as a whole, you would need to get them before they join him.

>>58362468
Setting aside the stigma she has on 4chan, one of my favorite uses of them in fan materials is the comic Kiana Mai does where James basically turns into Ash's snippy wine aunt running the local diner.

>>58362738
That's easy. The treating them well makes their loyalties conflicted, since Giovanni treats them like shit and they're the TR's clowns.
Should they keep struggling for an impossible task no one appreciates for? Or move on and get under the wing of someone who does appreciate them, acknowledges them, and gives them proper guidance and rewards their efforts meaningfully?
TR has nearly dipped out a lot of times, but obviously, you cannot have them do so because marketing and gotta keep the formula going.

>>58362797
>TR has nearly dipped out a lot of times
Really? Never watched much of the anime, just league stuff and villain teams climax

Any fics that use Rainbow Rocket well? I figure you can use them outside of Alola since they’re kinda universal.

>>58363345
Rainbow Rocket's existance gets a small implied mention in one of my fics, but its just a small joke about conspiracy theories. But now it's got me thinking. If misinformation spread that 'Giovanni' is back due to RR how many former TR members might show up for a proverbial getting the band back together? They had no shortage of loyal members who I'm sure would still jump at the chance. Then again, Giovanni did show up for the gen 5 world tournament. I wonder how Archer reacted. Man, if I had room in the plot I'd explore these ideas. Guess I'll hold off for a 'season 2'.

>Something random reminds me of this one fic I read months ago I really fucking hated because the MC was such a self-pitying fuckwad who could have solved all her issues in her life if she wasn't such a prideful twat that you just could tell was the author author self-inserting super hard and shoving her complexes in meaning the author was that that one twat in reality so I'm all like wow imagine how fucking annoying this person must be IRL

>>58363616

I saw this happen in real time before. I was even wondering if it was you who killed the fic I was thinking about, since it was recent, but probably not. Funny as hell either way.

>>58363616
You can't just share all this and not post where we can find this lmao. This stuff is mad entertaining to me.

>>58364218
In your defense, if you're a humble writer sharing your stuff for fun, you'll almost never get targeted by these people. But these smug bitches who are likely doing it for the money, for the clout, and insisting that their blatant SI is "flawed" but AKTHUALLY the greatest, most-perfect thing alive, you won't invite the people who do this to you. It's really easy to spot smug ass writers.

>>58364519
Is there a tag on Ao3 for Rainbow Rocket? I looked earlier and couldn't find much on Rainbow Rocket, oddly enough. I suppose Gamefreak fucked the execution of the concept so badly even fanfic writers have dismissed it.

It's a shame they're the twist villains of my project, I won't be able to tag them.

>>58366046
It's under 'Team Rainbow Rocket"
Personally, I don't think there is a way of perfectly executing RR at all. It feels too ooc for all the big bads to get together and team up. Maybe if it were the admins in each team but not the leaders.

>>58366657
Right, a big boss of a villainous faction has a strong will, and will likely do anything to force their ambitions onto the world no matter what.
Now put em all together, isekai quartet style. surely nothing goes wrong?

>One mountain cant contain two tigers

I'm going back in time to stop Clemont from inventing the Rotomdex

>>58366823
It would work as a comedy

>>58366833
As long as Porygon oppression and Rotom existence continues, the Rotom menace will endure. Kill all Rotoms and stop that rat from blowing up the missile.

>>58366657
>>58366823
Certain big bads wouldn’t place nice with others (Ghetsis, probably Archie, any other Giovanni), but I could see Maxie willing to go to other worlds and try to perfect his ways so he doesn’t kill all life each time (fat chance of succeeding but he’s obsessive enough to try). If Giovanni has a grand plan, say going after Arceus, I could see Cyrus sticking around. Lysandre, who knows (fuck his redemption). But Colress as well as other admins would fit well. I’m thinking a corrupted Leon who tamed Eternatus would play well, maybe even corrupted Zinnia with a shiny Rayquaza. Obviously team admins would work, and I bet we could get some RBY manga-style gym leaders.

>>58367875
This is actually super close to what the initial draft of my fic looked like, but it eventually morphed from an OC villain leading a Rainbow Rocket-type organization, to a fully OC faction.

What do you guys think of protagonists that genuinely just suck at fighting?
Like missing with swift at point blank range at an opponent that wasn't even moving?

>>58367950
That's not sucking at fighting, that's the author being bad at writing.
A bad battle-focused trainer would make more realistic mistakes, like not knowing certain type interactions, or how more non-unga bunga moves work.

>>58368059
>like not knowing certain type interactions
Ah, Unova Ash

>>58367950
That's the premise of PokeNormal. Paranormal Assistant Detective armed with his partner, a low level Poochyena, wit, and a file cabinet of unorganized esoteric occult knowledge and conspiracy theories. He and his client, a woman with a shiny pet Raticate, have realized that someone has tampered with their memories. And then ghosts that heard the 'escalation' meme and took it as a suggestion began appearing to try and murder them. At no point will either of them ever face an opponent they can face head on and live, so they have to out think the things hunting them to survive to the next day and try to figure out what the heck is going on.

I wanna ramble more, but as a mystery story I don't wanna spoil too much.

>>58366657
It been stated that RR has became GR following the announcement of their inclusion in Pokémon Go.
>>58367910
Do they still have interdimensional travel at least (as long as you have consent from other authors, just in case of a crossover)?

>>58368076
More like in general because he's mostly a fast unga bunga kind of retard but yeah, he's right, the move misses the problem isn't the trainer's order but the mon's

>>58366833
Pokemon is the type of setting to have a time police department

>>58368117
Hell, Pokémon could have its own TSAB with all their bullshit if they actually tried to put some effort but GF is lazy, and decided to use that kind of plot to wank Kanto and Giovanni instead of doing something interesting

>>58368088
>Do they still have interdimensional travel at least (as long as you have consent from other authors, just in case of a crossover)?
They're my own OCs, rather than from other author's fics.

>>58368164
But do they still have access to interdimensional travel?

>>58368174
Not currently, it's part of their endgame goal to attain the ability to reshape their universe, and others.

>>58368174
Maybe I should rephrase the question:
Does your Organization specialize in Multversal travel or not?

>>58368192
From what been described thus far, it's similar to Team Galactic; but with the Goal of enslaving the true Arceus and gain control over all creation.

what do they do now? charge tolls to interdimensional travelers

>>58368212
Their goal is to help Necrozuma heal and nothing more. They pretty much returned to their own world once they realise that the only the champion can achieve that feat.

>>58368212
They go around dropping fake aura cultivation techniques, methods, arts, manuals, technical skills and even array formations

>>58368212
Produce Alolan babies.

>>58368194
No, that was how the idea started but is no longer the case.

Hi guys. Just showing up to tell everyone to beware of ZA spoilers. While I'm definitely going to be observing some stuff for creative reasons (iykyk), I'll nonetheless refrain from spoiling things here for other anons.

I also wanted to leave this sprite because when else will I have a chance to show it, plus a preview of a thingie I've been working on for you guys to read:

>>58369161
If redeemed Lyssandre really is a thing I won't care about any Pokémon plot anymore

>>58368117
Over a decade ago I had an idea for a “Pokémon of the week” style series that was basically “Doctor Who but in the Pokémon universe.” MC was a Pokémon Ranger was given a watch that would warp him to a different time and he had to undo something that a malicious time traveler had done, and the capture stylus got him a Pokémon for the story of that location.

First time travel episode would be in ancient Violet City where a cult in the Ruins of Alph is trying to use Unown to create a new Arceus, MC intervenes and a Bellsprout gets on the special altar and absorbs the power instead, becoming giant, like 40 feet tall. Giant Bellsprout goes on a rampage, eventually trying to find a water source as it’s dying. MC gets it in between the ponds north of Violet City where it turns to stone and becomes the central piece of Sprout Tower.

It's GameFreak, anon. They're doing it purely because they know people will hate it. GF are spiteful cunts like that.

>>58369703
No, I mean yes they hate Pokémon and their fanbase but they're doing it because they know their fans have no standards and will buy it anyways

This is a major reason, along with them just being assholes, but they're also super fucking pissed that all of their modern non-pokemon games flop. That's their own fault for sucking at game development, though.

Almost, he created a shitstorm over his Naruto wank and it got so bad that he was doxxed irl with people finding his name and everything, it was frankly amazing just how far can power level retards go, Nasufags wish they were that autistic

>>58370851
>FF
For a second I was so confused.

>>58370996
To be fair Final Fantasy has been dead for years now

>>58371146
Haha, yeah.

Anyone devising a devious fake story leak for ZA to spread day of?

>>58371566
I haven't checked this board in a while, has any of the plot been leaked yet?

>>58370969
Both funny and sad.

>>58371591
Not yet, but there's supposed leaks regarding the characters that will appear and a few battles. Not a full plotline for now.

>>58371566
Depends. I think having it solely in Lumiose hamstrings it too much.

Ultra long shot, since this board is retarded enough to have read this fanfic. It was on Wattpad, called Blue Lightning. There was also one called Red Lightning, same universe. People all trained one type of pokemon each. The plot is scarce in my memory but I read the fuck out of it when I was like, 12. Anyone else remember it?

>>58370483
Techfag.

>>58370640
Have his Pokémon snort it like crack

>Making Leon being a overshilled industry plant fraud canon in your fanfic
Extremely based.

>>58372253
>RotomGPT, is this true?

Do you think Game Corners closed because trainers kept bringing their Murkow with Super Luck to cheat on the slot machines?

>>58372518
The house always wins. It's a simple matter to rig the machines to win only if the house wants it to. Casinos do it all the time.
Also they can just kick you out. They can just walk up to you and tell you to leave because you are winning too much.

>>58372518
They have 30 Super Luck Murkrows in the back making sure the house always wins, sorry pal.

>>58372282
>>58372349
More like mentioned while talking about EXP Candies as opposed to actually seeing Leon, but yeah.

So, do we know how many years after XY now?

>>58373687
at least 3 years

>>58371607
I'm not sure I understand this sentiment. Plenty of stories have entire plots or arcs located entirely in a city.

Bump, board's atrocious right now.

>30 year old franchise
>not a SINGLE good fanfic
What went wrong

>>58374720
Different anon. I'm a cautiously optimistic type but I understand the concern. Let me break down some of the possible reasons people think it will be bad beyond the lack of faith in gamefreak.

First is the appeal of more open worlds that we've gotten in the past couple of games is harder to pull off in a single city location. A massive sprawling city CAN have different types of areas and biomes within it to make it exciting to explore. But the issue becomes that this is a return to a city that we've already explored in a previous game. We've already seen what it has had to offer in the paste, we already have an idea of the what to expect to find, and we already have assumptions of how small the city is going to be because of it.

Plus the action focused movement and exploration in PLA, the previous entry in this type of game, doesn't easily translate to the terrain of a city. Even if the areas were smaller they could still be engaging to traverse and explore because the player actually has to engage with the terrain and their surroundings. They have to make sure they don't jump off cliffs, pick which ride pokemon works best in their situation, be aware of wild pokemon, stop and gather supplies if they see something they need... All these, plus a lack of extensive fast travel options, gives all the benefits of a good open world despite not being open world. But the lumiouse we've seen in the past and in the trailers is not conducive to this. I was hoping we'd see more interesting locations through the city, but its ALL been buildings. And not very good looking ones.

>>58376200
You can find good stuff, but the key thing is that if the author gets TOO good, then he wouldn't be making Pokemon fanfic anymore, would he? There's kind of a ceiling with how good Pokemon fics can get.
Similar logic to a small sports team with a rising star, it's only a matter of time before a bigger team snatches him with money.

>>58376200
Wrong, my fanfics are good.

>>58376236
Proof?

>>58376200
Pokémon is a great sandbox but is fucking limited as far as storytelling goes, people seethe if villains kill, cry if the MC isn't treated as a god and 20 years later they still can't "forgive" Clair, moan if your OC villains win even once since the MC must be an invincible trainer and then there's the ones that hate ESCALATION or auraslop because they hate, hate, how stories focus on humans.

>>58376236
Mobius, huh? I loved that game

>>58376261
https://archiveofourown.org/works/63406333

No accounting for taste, but here is my main fic that's the plot of Final Fantasy 1 in a world of Pokemon. A few people like it so far, the main critique I've gotten is some people getting confused by flashbacks.

>>58376379
I stole Wol's name from Mobius for the MC of the fic. I never got to finish the story before the game shut down. Sucks that there is no stand alone version of the game, it was pretty cool despite being a mobile game.

>>58376493
FF1fag, during the astos fight or rther after he turns into darkie, one of the suffering 'mon was meowth has expressed a big deal of love towards Jane and vice versa.
It's not bad, but to my knowledge, he's only known them for a few days at most. Again, I did not find his to be some major deal breaker or something like that. I just found it a little bit hard to believe that meowth cares that much already. (True, he was never shown as apathetic or careless. And the void did show his inner turmoils. Still I don't know, kinda wished I saw more of it before the fight, though we'll probably see more next chapter,)
Honestly I also see this with In Mine Own, like I know Pokemon can many amazing things even when they are younger and inexperienced, but I found juuust a little hard to believe that the MC and their Pokemon just join in the raid, like bro, they've been in so little fights compared to the villains, why hasn't there been some elite strike force formed to hunt down a dangerous enemy? By chap 4 it's known the baddies got Legendaries or myhtical or whatever and a bulbasaur and a squirtle who are essentially starters just go? And everyone is just fine with this?
Again, these are not big negative things, I do love these fics, just found those small things a bit confusing.

>>58363616
pls tell me it was on Ao3, site culture is a massive circlejerk and not in a cringekino kinda way.
They could do with a few more reality checks.

>>58376311
>people seethe if villains kill
My villains will kill many and have already commenced the bodycount.
>cry if the MC isn't treated as a god
He is explicitly just a kid with no unique talents, and even if his friends like him he's admittedly the weak link
>and 20 years later they still can't "forgive" Clair
She has earned a Champion title and gets one of the coolest moments in my outline
>moan if your OC villains win even once since the MC must be an invincible trainer
Immediately after being introduced my first Admin-tier villain dogwalked the MC and his friends, took on and defeated two E4-level trainers, dropped several Metal Gear references, and kidnapped the first teenager he could get his hands on.

I am simply built different.

>like bro, they've been in so little fights compared to the villains, why hasn't there been some elite strike force formed to hunt down a dangerous enemy? By chap 4 it's known the baddies got Legendaries or myhtical or whatever and a bulbasaur and a squirtle who are essentially starters just go? And everyone is just fine with this?
To answer the more immediate question, Clemont and the other adults were confident they could handle Celot on a rematch, and suspected Kuzey and Herri wouldn't accept being left behind anyway, so they decided to just keep a close eye on them and bring them along. They didn't anticipate someone as dangerous as Seringue who'd try and kill Kuzey outright might be there.

But the other question you raise will be addressed before the arc is complete.

>>58376908
Meant to respond to >>58376639

>>58376908
Yeah nah man, it's a good decision they went along in the end, cuz that's good shit to read. Was just a lil "eh they didnt do dis?"

>>58376639
Well, if I were to give a reason for that it is because Meowth just isn't very emotionally deep. Its the only member of the group so far that was recently a wild pokemon, and its relatively young compared to the rest of them. It simply doesn't have a complex past or trauma for the nightmare curse to build off of. So being abandoned by its new friends that it met several days ago is literally the worst thing it could imagine. Its also fueled by the events of the previous chapter where Meowth's carelessness almost got them all killed. Going from a wild pokemon that casually steals whatever it can to survive to having friends who can be affected by the consequences of its actions is also something its coming to terms with.

Thank you for the feedback. Perspectives on different things that nobody has ever mentioned are really interesting to read. I hope this explanation makes sense, and if it doesn't I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter more.

>>58377020
No, that explanation actually makes sense wtf. I am dumb for not noticing these things. Glad I could give something though. I am also not asking you to make the thoughts and actions of the 'mons obvous. Don't do that.

>>58376964
I appreciate you pointing it out though, I've got to walk a fine line with trying to hit that more lighthearted tone for a Pokemon adventure while still keeping the heavier stakes. Really I just enjoy yapping about my fic, I chomp at the bit when I get the chance to mention lore or background details.

>>58377112
Everyone, quick! Stop talking about IMO.

>>58377135
I'll actually die

>>58377112
>I just enjoy yapping about my fic
Same. Having a site I get engagement on (QQ) has been so addictive. I’m having such a good time with it they’re getting bonus sex scenes no other site’s getting. Your first theory post will hit like crack btw. I assume it’s obvious but I’m Pofag.

>>58377060
Don't worry, a big part of the themes of Crystal Light is human and pokemon communication. There's intentionally a lot of unspoken things going on within the minds of both the human and pokemon characters. The main character trying his best to understand the complex feelings of his teammates, and sometimes the failure to do so, is intentionally written into the way I describe things. It's by design that different subtle aspects of the characters will either go unnoticed or seem glaringly obvious depending on the reader's own experiences. You aren't dumb, just your outlook on the world colors your assumption about how you expect others to think and act. That's how it is for everybody. So if the story is making you think and ask questions then I consider that a success. Then again, I was also able to directly answer those questions here. The story should also be able to stand on it's own without my explanations all death of the author style. Confusing the readers in an unsatisfying way is something a story takes responsibility for, not the readers.

>>58377177
>writing a mystery that is ripe for theorizing
>too lazy to post in more than one place
In a hell of my own making

>>58377300
You gotta branch out. The only truly frustrating part is when you find the Toyo’s a month later and have to update across all sites.

But that’s also why typo-finders are a godsend.

>>58376200
...but enough about One Piece

>>58376200
I honestly think most anons in this thread wsnt to be the one that changes this. Although a lot of Pokémon fanfic OG’s would likely say Pedestal would be the one GOOD one.

>>58377418
Fun fact, OP and DB have way too little fanfics despite both settings having a bigger scale than Naruto or Pokémon.

>>58377177
I've been meaning to check out QQ as a place to post my fic, I've been curious. I wasn't sure it made sense since most of the people that will be macking on each other are technically minors and I don't know their stance on smut of that nature, but I keep hearing here that not being actually NSFW isn't a huge issue there.

Now that I've managed to overcome my autistic need to finish the chapter, I'm gonna start reading PoPT; I'm really curious after you mentioned we've got some similar themes going.

>>58378041
You'll be fine, QQ has prillya and madoka grooming smut fics over there.

>>58377847
The real DB fics are those multi hour long youtube video of a guy just describing what happens in their story.
OP's fic scene 'peaked' like a decade ago when the story was still comprehensible, which should be around the end of Dressrosa. Their biggest fic, This Bites, is on indefinite hiatus and I'd imagine a lot of writers just don't want to tackle all the bullshit Oda invented.

>>58377847
To be frank, they just lack that certain level of ennui that leads one to writing fanfiction.

>>58377847
You options when it comes down to DB fics are
Bulma Vegeta shipfics
Goku cucking ChiChi
What ifs
Traced art (AF, Multiverse, etc)
Hyourinjutsu

>>58378041
“When is a Spoon a Sword” is on thrre and that author has re-iterated multiple times they won’t have romantic themes in the story. Them posting in the NSFW section motivated me to just say “fuck it.” They’re clearly doing it for engagement and nothing more.

>>58378041
On QQ NSFW is a thread rating saying people can post NSFW stuff in it, rather than just a story one. Some people might bitch at you but most readers and the staff will not care.

>>58378467
Funny I found this while looking for how qq treats the nsfw rating. Apparently that guy (fabled webs) wrote ntr because people complained? Lol

What is this qq you people speak of

>>58378779
>>58378795
How dare you use logic and reason against me. Although it will always be funny to me they went right to NTR as a cover.

I was mostly speaking on Found Family in a specific, thematic sense. But yeah, I felt some weird symmetry with core aspects of things we're doing but just executing in the most polar opposite of ways. I may also be full of shit, which should be assumed.

I always thought Delia was a single mother, guess I read too many fanfics with that plot

Looking for really silly (meta)jokes and dirty cheats to use in practice. Battles without honor or humanity. I'm not terribly clever so I'll ask you guys for further suggestions or directions to look into. So far:
>balloons/domesticated driflim tied to buildings renders them all impervious to local earthquakes and to allow for ground types to unleash their best moves without fear
>"wild" pokemon encounter goes south when the pokemon breaks open a vending machine and starts gulping down the drinks for almost infinite healing after learning by seeing
>Tera electric air balloon Shedinja with heavy duty boots and weather cloak or whatever gets beaten by the opponent beating the shit out of his trainer off the field for being a fucking dickhead
>mons whipping out illegal moves and much more dangerous combos once the cameras stop rolling and the league regulations don't apply
>pokemon cheering on trainer on trainer battles because it's hilarious to watch the naked apes slap each other
>killdozer-esque nidoking with welded scrap armor as a boss fight

>>58380123
Embedding leech seeds inside an opponents orifices and having them grow and grow, obstructing vital functions. (A form of medieval torture in that world)

>>58380123
Sneak Joltik into the walls of your opponent's hotel room to subtly create an Electric Terrain or slip crushed Worry Seeds into their food to fuck with their sleep and throw them off their game

>>58380123
I feel like I've been plugging this a lot lately, but PokeNormal as a comdey story has this be how all 'battles' work. Its meta in a story and battle sense. The main characters suck at pokemon battles and their pokemon are weak as hell, and their opponents all are actively trying to kill them. So they have to get real creative to win.

I think the best example of this in the story is when a character's pokemon gets ghost Cursed by jumping in the way of the curse meant for it's trainer. Seeing that her pokemon is going to die if she doesn't do something she just absolutely starts beating the ghost pokemon in rage. Realizing that her punches do nothing since they are Normal/Fighting type she insteads starts to bite the shit out of it because Bite is a Dark type move.

Crystal Light has soft elements of this too as most pokemon battles so far have been life or death big brawl scenes where the trainers are actively engaged in the fight with swords and shields and the like. Trainers send out their entire teams to fight at once, pirates flood city streets with Rain Dance to Surf their pokemon through it for uncontested looting, psychic types mind control trainers to stab their allies before fights even start... The only caveat is that it's all taken seriously and not treated as a meme. Honor is the rust on a dull blade.

Beatbreak only gets better and better.
Watch this for a solid monster trainer show, it's only in ep2 so easy to catch up.

>>58380504
Do they have aura?

>>58380123
Flinging a tin of beans deals 80 power damage, and a iron ball deals 130

Wouldn't Mirror Coat and Counter be way easier to land? Generally you can reflexively use Mirror Coat if the opponent is far away and Counter when they are close, it's easier to tell if an attack is physical or special.

>>58382867
>not getting your face as close as possible to you opponent so your psychic attacks hit like a point blank double barrel of regret and disappointment about their life choices
Weak

>>58380123
Pokemon off field spamming helping hand or leer or some low key buffing/debuffing move.
Spend time as a trainer to learn Taunt or Torment and disguise it as just heckling.

>>58382867
Real battles wouldn't be turn based with both trainers locking in their commands beforehand, yes.

So which new megas are guys looking forward to making use of?

>>58385470
None, I don't even play or like Pokemon.

>>58385470
I'll wait until I've seen all of them.

>>58385470
All of them. My MC will be the one who discovers them all.

>>58385470
Mega Pidgeot

>>58380123
Reminds me of how in BoC the protagonist was psychically assisting the ninetails in fights by like guiding attacks and vaguely contributing energy to the point where he was half collapsing after battles. How is that not cheating? Like imagine if some trainer is just having their pokemon leech seed them before or during battle to provide healing. Take that man's loicense. Put that fox down for harming its trainer on camera.

I read another story a long time ago where the pokemon protagonist had a bizarre encounter with basically a Monster Hunter character fully kitted out in pokemon parts.

>using psychic to steal pokeballs off of a trainer and/or press the return button to easily win an otherwise unwinnable fight
>spamming pokeballs on a attacking wild pokemon until it's so disoriented and frustrated with breaking out that it just runs off or gives up
>pokemon using subtle status moves on people to fuck with them without getting in trouble for attacking a human
>ditto transforms into enemy trainer and traumatizes enemy pokemon by tearfully begging it to stop attacking
>abuse of esoteric/lore abilities: trainer with Victini and sends out untrained rat against champion and a series of precision meteor strikes take out all 6 pokemon, trainer with gardevoir pretends to be dying of sadness at the thought of losing so it panics and creates a black hole to win every time

>>58384916
>>58386858
>>58381109
>subtle low power move use
I really really like that idea. The posturing before the first blows in a fight could have a real sneaky Leer AND Intimidate combination at the start. Kind of reminds me of BoC when the Baby Doll Eyes was used as a distraction in the middle of dodging/taking a blow, presumably because of the priority move status. I had in mind that less complex status moves in general are used really fast and are handy general utility.
>Gallade uses Taunt to shittalk in opponent's head then immediately does Counter or Mirror Coat combo
Also
How did he use the pokemon parts? Just like armor with types or really weird shit like juicing a paw for one more move stored inside of it?
>ditto, victini, gardevoir, the bean can fling move
Genuinely chuckled at these. Imagine a Trainer just handing random shit to a Pokemon's hand for the purpose of Flinging it as hard as possible. Lethal toliet paper prank lol.

>>58385470
Mega Starmie is stupid kino and must be used in at least 10 fics.
I demand it.

>>58386858
What about having leech seeding a member of the team and then have that teammate subtly heal themselves by ingrain or berries or ability?
>Ditto
I can't believe mixing and matching pokemon parts with Ditto isn't possible or no one has tried it. Imagine a Machamp but with 8 arms, Rough Skin, and eyes on the back of it's head.

>>58385470

That one guy here is going to love this.

>>58385470
Feraligatr, Dragalge, Chandelure, Victreebel, Eelektross, Barbaracle, and Froslass.

I think I'm pretty much settled with 90% of the Pokémon my characters will use. So unless Falinks' ability as a Mega is better than Mega Lopunny (which has Scrappy), or some other interesting Pokémon show up in the DLC some people are already trying to jot down the DLC Megas, and some are... a thing to say the least.

>>58385470
I already had a character that's going to have a Staryu and later Starmie in her party, so I can get some mileage out of that, and one main character has a Malamar, so that'll get a chance to mega evolve at some point for sure. I may also have a chance to use Mega Dragonite, but it depends on whether I keep or rework a piece of my outline. None of the other announced new ones are part of my projected full parties, so they might get used as enemies or by side characters at one point or another.

>>58389508
What fic is this?

>>58389667
A fic I've working on. I call it Fighting from the Shadows. The original pastebins have been deleted, but I reuploaded them:

Looking for a recommendation about human pokemon hybrids. Preferaly not just about humans with only zubat ears or something simple, but more weird and creepy like an animal with half a human mind or very fucked up hybrids. I'll take a cute hybrid fic if there's not really anything like that though.

>>58389837
I typed up a whole fucking thing here and the page got refreshed. Wrote an edgy one shot about a pokemon hybrid jail where winning a tournament earns your team freedom. MC is in the semi-finals but his team are already dead. Leans super into the body horror.

Not bad. Doesn't overstay its welcome and does exactly what the challenge/prompt says to write. DOUBLE evolutions was neat and definitely really hyped up.
https://youtu.be/lJi3G7TVWC0

Also, I owe you a followup for my pokenormal review: the Rotom conspiracy felt a little obvious/low hanging, and the chapter boss was a little goofy so that's why I called it transitional. It's a big reveal though, so I guess. I really liked the sudden appearance saving their asses at the end, that was a nice intervention scene. Real cool!
Also, I named a helpful(?) Litwick after Tobio because I like your fanfic. He's gonna show up when I write my update.

Huh. Well, I can't complain when readers pick up on foreshadowing. Clues in a mystery story should be possible to decipher after all. So that's technically a good thing you figured it out. Either way, I'm glad you're enjoying it and I appreciate the feedback. I've actually been tempted to flesh out Ryukuro's story into an actual series but I got enough on my plate right now.

>>58398805
>Monk just didn't fit the story too well.
Why? If I ever were to write some auraslop I would make the MC fight with just his body because Pokémon do that and he thinks weapons are for cowards or something

>>58399760
Even though Wol is pretty much an OC, he is filling the role of a 'technically' pre-established character. He and Dissidia WoL are different characters, and Garland is very different from Dissidia Garland. But Wol and Garland are rivals, and the story works better with Wol being a knight. If I were to write a monk MC I'd tell a different story.

My FF autism has thought about that kind of stuff though. In a table top rpg I once ran Cecil from FF4 became a monk on his path to redemption. If I were to write an FF style original story I'd make the MC a monk probably, or at least a freelancer with monk tendencies. Also have my self insert FF11/14 Tarutaru/Lalafell monk who is just me but as an asshole who knows kung fu and fucks. Could write a pokemon themed story with him sometime.

>Immortal Volo
Seriously, did people just not know this? Or is it just Cogitafags getting roudy since to them it appears Volo is stepping on their queen's turf?

>>58399983
It's not something I put much thought into play PLA, though I'm not especially upset by it or anything. Though it looks like people will find out what happened to Z-A Lysandre before I reveal what happened to the one in my fic, so I'm curious how people will react.

>>58399983
My understanding was that it was just headcanon before.

>>58399983
It was uncertain.
For all we knew it was just Volo butthurt schizo babble.
You can't use Cogita as reference because Cogita was blessed/cursed with immortality because of her mission. Everything indicated that she was a special and unique case, not that long lifespans are an inherent Celestican trait, specially so since there was no other point of comparison since, you know, all the Celesticans fucking YOLO'd only God knows why.

There were enough hints to make it all but believable. His own schizobabble rant, his clothing style, his esoteric knowledge on most things, all of these suggest it, Casting Volo's immortality into doubt is on the same level as doubting Cynthia has a sister by assuming the girl in her house was schizobabbling.

>>58400103
>>58400192
My takeaway from this is that Cynthia is immortal and will be having inappropriately intimate rivalries with ten year old girls for all eternity.

>>58400192
There were, sure, but no hard confirmation.
>His own schizobabble rant
Like we've said, Volo's having a melty. Not taking him seriously is understandable.
>his clothing style, his esoteric knowledge on most things, all of these suggest i
Volo's a history and myth nerd autistically obsessed with Arceus. He doesn't need to have been alive thousands of years ago to come up with an Arceus cosplay.
We've got hard proof now. Who cares about past arguments now?

?

So I slept through all of it. Any interesting lore from teraleak 2?

So I read some spoilers and damn, they really know we have no standards

>>58400982
>we
Speak for yourself. A lot of us haven't bought the newest games and we sure as shit don't treat modern canon with any respect.

How awful canon is really lit a fire under my ass to write desu

>>58401701
TRAPPED AND BETRAYED stories? Which to be honest had more thought put into it than GF's canon "story"

>>58400982
Does Diantha show up?

>>58402830
lol. no.
Not only does Diantha not show up, she also gets less mentions than Leon. 4 vs 5.

>>58402849
Holy FUARK even people outside his region can't keep MY HERO's name out of their mouths

>>58402903
They're talking about him losing, the undefeated, losing so the Leon wank was a thing in universe

>>58393378
So the pokemon world really is just fantasy-fied earth

>>58403290
The non-japanese regions don't match up 1:1 with their real world counterparts though, at least in regards to their distance to Japan.
Unless we really want to believe a random pokemon swimmer really swam the distance between Japan and France.

>>58403324
Its a fictional world bro, bullshit is entirely possible and probably

>>58403333
Probable* fuck

>>58403324
>Unless we really want to believe a random pokemon swimmer really swam the distance between Japan and France.
They're super human compared to us bro, don't let realismfags warp your mind

>>58402849
>>58402830
Was she killed off too with CYNTHAI haha

Az's immortality is shit btw

>>58403482
It's not that I don't think they could do it, it's that I don't think a pokehuman would spend years swimming around the world in one go. Even with their super resilience the average athletic pokehuman is still not particularly fast.

>>58403290
Yeah? I feel this was obvious since gen 1.
