Hard at work picking up writing again. Dug up an unfinished story at 40 pages the other day, at 53 now. This was meant to be short and I can see this thing adding another ten or twenty pages at this rate. I just keep seeing a need for more depth and clarity, better character development, shit like that.

>characters with undefined sexes
Writing protip: Define the sex of your character since human beings have an objective sex outside of a handful of unfortunate individuals born with physical or genetic deformities. If your character is a legendary pokemon or a genderless objectmon, you get a pass. Otherwise making your character's gender undefined is the equivalent of going out of your way to mention in every sentence that you aren't going to tell the reader what their hair or eye color is. The character definitely has one, you just aren't telling us for some weird reason.

Writing an enby character in a world where enbies are real and are accepted as a norm that nobody bats an eyelash is this generation of the smug mary sue whose outfit takes two paragraphs to describe in every scene and who outsmarts the world's leading experts on things while anyone who dislikes them is presented as the devil. That is to say, it's an infantile fantasy and just bad character writing. I hope the works you make when you grow up are better than this.

Create an outline that leaves room for detours. Plan out the Where, Why, & How for where you want your characters / world to end up, but don't get so caught up on the What or the When. Trying to plot out the pacing or every little stop along the journey is where so many authors go wrong, in terms of quality and in terms of getting burnt out.

What's the consensuses on fakemon/original Pokemon in fanfics?

there was a decent ashfic that involved her, it was brought up in the thread a couple of times because it actually did something with his character by making him take up that offer to become a frontier brain
>>
>>56029093
I don't know about any consensus beyond it generally being advised against, but as a reader it's very annoying having to conceptualize many fakemon with words alone. You better include pictures somewhere or my eyes are gonna start glazing over after seeing fakemon after fakemon and, eventually, I'll lose interest entirely.
>>
>>56029093
I've never actually seen a fic with fakemon, only deviantart accounts with personal pokedexes or fangames. Do you have an example?
>>
>>56029121
nta but off the top of my head at least two popular fics with fakemons exist. The New Normal, which had fakemon mega evolutions, and Villainous Ventures which had a few hybrids and variants that are akin to regional variants.
>>
>>56029144
Never read either story, but I'll rate the uses.
>Fake Mega Evolutions
Based, it's pretty easy to picture and imagine and all Pokemon should have had them.
>hybrids
Based, you have all the pieces you need to imagine them and the technology exists in-universe.
>regional variants
Based, not hard to imagine them and it give some extra character to a fan region.

Singular they/them is perfectly fine, it's mainly used when it's an object (Voltorb), when it's a singular unique species (legendaries), when it's a merged being (Metagross, or DBZ fusions), when contextually he/she isn't enough and it could apply regardless of the subject ("Every trainer must submit their contest registration on time", "Oak gave away his last Pokedex, as any proud professor in their town would've done.") or when it's ambiguous/undefined for the moment (hooded Team Rocket grunt that stole NUTRITION books from the local Pokemart and nobody knows where they went, "Someone left their Pokedex at the pokemon center", etc).

Grammatically, "singular they" has been a thing in English for hundreds of years and the general usage also varies by language. That said, >>56026908 is right in that some people go far the fuck out of their way to do that shit just for the sake of enby crap. What makes it particularly egregious is that it's such an outside-context problem for the Pokemon world that it genuinely should not exist with how advanced Pokemon's medicine is, which is why it comes across as wankery even if you are someone who does not give a shit about those folk and what they do.

Realistically, the Pokemon world most likely has Ditto Cell treatments for that and genuinely life-threatening injuries, but if that's somehow not an option then there would almost certainly be psychic treatments that can be done to fix the underlying mental/body rejection aspect or to outright body-swap two people with the same issue.
>>
>>56029093
>Fake Megas and Regional Variants/Evos
Perfectly fine, just give a good description of what changes. Variants/Evos should be given a brief lore dump for the how/why though if you can though. A flying-type Eevee evolution or a similar split evo is much easier to justify as a side grade compared to something like a final evolution for Snorlax.
>Originals
It's almost always advised against for multiple reasons, but the other anons have gone over most of them. If you absolutely want custom Pokemon, then you'll need to have a ton of reference pics ready imo.
>>
>>56029093
Your story dies unless you provide a cool design/concept.

What are a good explanation or justification for Pokemon and Humans being together for battling?
We're told many times that under the guidance of a Trainer Pokemon grow faster, better, stronger, etc. Why exactly? What does the Human "do" that adds to it? Why do Pokemon follow the orders of humans in battle against other Pokemon?
We also hear lots of times that Trainer-owned Pokemon are stronger than wild Pokemon but I find a massive contradiction in this matter since there's plenty of wild Pokemon that are extremely strong and even stronger than very highly experienced humans such as even Gym Leaders.
And let's not even talk about Legendary Pokemon who despite being wild can measure up to E4 and Champions and even absolutely trash them without even trying.
What are your thoughts on this matter? Have you been able to find a "something" to explain this way? The closest I have been able to is that the "connection" between Trainer and Pokemon becomes a "booster" so if a Pokemon in the wild gains 10 EXP by performing an action then they gain 100 instead if done under the guidance of a Trainer. Why though, I wouldn't be able to tell you. It's a instinctual Aura connection formed between the Trainer and Pokemon?
>>
>>56030256
Humans provide nothing other than servant work like preparing meals and cleaning the toilets.
It is less that humans accelerate a pokemon's growth and more than the lazier or weaker pokemon are unable to get a good servant.
Lazy, weak, stupid, etc pokemon get a foolish Youngsters at best, while all the actually determined or talented pokemon find themselves a nice subservient Ace Trainer that will gladly devote his/her life in service of the pokemon.

In other words, people mistake up the cause and effect. For example, living on Orre doesn't turn you into a madmax retard, it just seems that way because all the smart people leave Orre as soon as they can unless they can exploit the mouthbreathing populace in some way.
>>
>>56030256
>We also hear lots of times that Trainer-owned Pokemon are stronger than wild Pokemon but I find a massive contradiction in this matter since there's plenty of wild Pokemon that are extremely strong and even stronger than very highly experienced humans such as even Gym Leaders.
Through a level gap, sure. But human trained Pokémon have better moves, and the training itself has objective benefits that gets abstracted in the g*mes as stat exp, ev's, etc. It's some vague "power of friendship" style deal that's also used to explain why the game protagonists are so overwhelmingly strong compared to everything else.
>>
>>56030256
Think of what benefits your own pokémon have in-game compared to wild pokémon:
- Access to better moves through TMs / reminder.
- Higher stats due to accumulated EVs (read: knowledge obtained from battling varied pokémon instead of the same old boring local wildlife).
- Fancy items other than a fiftieth fucking Oran berry.
- Free food and healthcare.
- The mon gets to be part of a diverse team composed of vastly different pokémon. That would be unthinkable in the wild, where you would never know whether you can trust another pokémon of a different species or even different type.
- Since the mon is part of a team, overspecialization becomes possible. You want to focus on physical attacks, or support, or stall? In the wild you would need to cover all bases to survive, but in a team you could focus on what you’re good at and let the rest of your teammates cover your blind spots.
- A good trainer would be expected to have an ample, encyclopedic knowledge of pokémon, their moves, abilities, roles in battle, etc.
- Humans in the pokémon world are fucking obsessed with the critters, and build their entire societies around them.

tl;dr: that wild Lv30 Butterfree is trash because it has 0 EVs and the moves it knows at its level, while your darling Lv27 Butterfree that’s been with you since she was a Caterpie has minmaxed EVs and a hand-crafted moveset to fit perfectly in your team. Levels aren’t everything.

Grammar time!

"She" is used for objects when personified. This is because in English feminine is default, masculine is used whenever non-trivial amounts of masculinity or male membership is reasonably expected. (See below.)

"It" is used for Pokemon universally. Any other pronouns are supplemental information.

"Singular They" exists specifically when you are talking about a plurality that is taken in a singular case.
>When someone visits my house, they never can figure out where the bathroom is.
This is because you're talking generally about "my house guests," a plural notion, though you're using an example of one person at a time. This would not be valid if you were only talking about one particular house guest who couldn't find the john.

An abstract person takes "he" in most cases because there is non-trivial amounts of males in the general population. If you talk about the winner of a popular lottery, "he" is correct. If you talk about the winner of contest that targets a female demographic, "she" is correct when talking about the future winner even though nothing bars males from entering since it is not reasonably expected that many will enter and one of them win.

Another case of "they" which may prove singular is the abstract collective. "I saw someone in the alley but I don't know what they were doing" is valid because you saw one, but you're really talking about a group of 1 or more persons. "They" in this case indicates you are not certain that the group is not larger than 1. Works normally involving multiple artists can take "they" in a similar way. "They did good on these sound effects," is valid even if you're pretty sure you're talking about a film that is a solo production, because a film normally has multiple artists involved and you are abstracting the artist as a one-man form of what is usually a group effort, effectively retaining "they" from the expectation of group.

Region matters, too. A rock band is plural in UK, singular in US.
>>
>>56031651
"It" is perfectly fine as a pronoun for a person. There is an issue that it is very rare among sane persons that gender is deliberately obscured, so it is not often needed during conversation. But we use "it" for people quite often when identity is uncertain but singularity is certain.

A knock at the door.
>"Who is IT?"
>"IT's a-me, Mario!"

There is nothing "dehumanizing" about this, though that one episode of TNG claimed so to push through lame writing.

We also IT-ify freely whenever someone is a representative of a Corporate Person, transferring being a soulless monstrosity to the serf it commands.
>Who called you on the phone a minute ago?
>IT was a telemarketer.

And most importantly, though it has a less natural cadence, pronouns are never required. You can always use a name in every case and if it sounds repetitive, use better writing to avoid needing to repeat the subject so God damned often.

Now, stop bullying strangers about the words they use and get back to writing Proper English when you're responsible for it.

Thank you all for your inputs. I'll stay in the realm of evos/split-evos, Regional forms, and Mega/Primal forms of existing Pokemon in my planned story.
>>
>>56031651
Grammatical gender is more about passive vs active. A noun is acted upon? It’s a she. A noun acts upon other nouns? It’s a he.
They/It should be used as a signifier that it’s not clear or that you’re dealing with an equally active relationship between objects, or a mixed class of objects.

Obviously language is a mess of crap that changes over time and borrows from other cultures, rather than a strong logic circuit, so things are inconsistent across millions of vocabulary words, but if you ever are wondering why a particular noun would have a certain pronoun or what pronoun to use for an imaginary or fictional noun, that’s the heart of the use pattern.
>>
>>56031923
That's not passive/active, that's subject/object. And I've never seen a pronoun for a personified object change because of the verb it's involved with. That's be like saying "The ship I sailed, she carried me for days before he ran aground on the rocks at low tide." Nonsense.

Is there a language with grammatical gender based on being subject or object of a verb?
>>
>>56031923
>tfw my ship is a tranny
>a she while I steer her at the helm
>a he when he drifts to sea and crashes into another ship(female) after me bilgerat crew didn't tie him to port
>>
>>56031971
It’s not about the structure of the sentence, it’s about whether the speakers feel a noun has agency.
>>
>>56031979
>tranny out of nowhere
Germans use male gender for a ship because they feel they have agency. The English don’t, so they use female grammar
>>
Boats are a 'she' because a sailor will sail 'er, not because of whatever nonsense you made up

If you want to breed your genderless pokemon, simply tell one to breed and tell the other they're free to do whatever they want after lacing their food with an aphrodisiac. One will become a she and the other will become a he.
>>
>>56032076
Isn't it "gender unknown"? Sounds like they need a REAL researcher to figure it out.

This is useful, Thanks. Also how do people feel about fan regions both personal made and from fan games? This is total not me trying to justify the cost sink of making an entire region from scratch. Speaking of.

>How do you keep yourself focus on just writing your story instead of endlessly plotting and world building?
>>
>>56034228
fan regions are fine and you'd have to try to make a region worse (in writing potential/entertainment/quality) than some of the official ones desu
>how to focus on writing instead of endless plotting/worldbuilding
write a chapter or two, or at least a little bit between worldbuilding sessions. or maybe even write a lot of worldbuilding details into a .txt somewhere to organize it so it can be used.

So we all know Kanto is the most written about Region. Where the most fics are set on.
How about the other places? What would be the Ranking like?
What's the second, third, fourth, etc?
And obviously we know why Kanto is the most written one but why are the others written about the most second or third or are the least written about ones?

>>56036279
>nobody likes johto
People like Johto, the main issue is that anyone who would write a Johto story starts with Kanto and then goes to Johto afterward.
Hell, a lot of stories that go for multiple regions go to Johto second, even if they're Hoenn/Sinnoh first. If you account for the total regions represented in fics, Johto would probably be somewhere between Hoenn and Sinnoh.

Why are there so few Galarfics?
I mean, sure, anyone with half a brain knows Galar is shit, but even that works in its favor since the fixfic is one of the biggest fanfiction genre.
And as much as I hate to say it, Galar is very popular, nips fucking love Galar for instance, and the thing sold super well overall so on paper there should a bigger quantity of fanfic writers among those people who played and liked Galar.
There's also a lot of very popular characters there too. Bea, Raihan, Nessa, Kabu, Piers and even Leon who's also a good fanfic fuel for battling autism considering how hard he gets wanked in story making him a decent enough goal and beating him serving a greater purpose to wank the SI/MC by having him beat Leon.
So what happened?
>>
>>56039217
>So what happened?
forced diversity
>>
>>56039217
Galar didn't have the anime shilling and expanding on its lore 24/7 like with what happened during OS-SM. The anime is very important for introducing new locations, characters, Pokemon, and side stories that the games barely touch on. I can't name a single Galar city or location outside of the Wild Area. Same with Paldea, I can't remember the locations or characters because none really stood out during the game and I spent a good amount of time on both SV and SS. The games left no real impact in the enviroment. The sole thing Galar introduced that was semi-interesting was Dymax but that's limited solely to the Galar region so you can't take it everywhere with you, Leon being the worlds strongest, and the concept of sponserships which went nowhere.

Galar was plain and simple boring. I like the original fake leaks that Marnie was supposed to be Galar royalty in hiding and you were supposed to help her get back to the throne. Also both Galar and Paldea's "evil" teams suck. The poor mans Team Skull. Who wants to read about school bullies when you can have gangsters wreaking havoc on the Hawaiian Islands with tactical nukes on the wrist and aliens which come out of worm holes.

Let me tell you something

I've created a region based on the Nordic countries, ok? and in Iceland, the abortion rates for babies with Down syndrome are sky-high. And I'm afraid that some readers would try to force me to address it when I have zero intention to.

And know what? I don't blame those parents, ok?

Child rearing a neurotypical child is enough of a daunting task for a neurotypical parent. Do you want to throw a wrench like that into the gear works? no fucking thanks.

I bet you if a baby can get an autism diagnosis while in utero, some mothers would reach in and yank it out of her body and throw it against the wall.

As someone who will make the distinct decision (or mistake, depending on how you view it) of featuring characters from both Ashnime and Horizons for a story, I'm nerfing the shit out of the latter by a long margin.

There's no way you can justify inexperienced kids and petty thieves being more than capable of taking down legendary Pokémon and Elite Four trainers.

>Last I heard the girl is everything fanfic writers wanted Ash to be but canon
This was mostly true for the first little while, but then she got turned into a damsel in distress for some reason.
>>56041241
To be fair, it wasn't really that weakened. It was barely scratched and still had the juice to kick everyone's ass without breaking a sweat.
The worst offense to Rayquaza was from one of the movies, where it was losing against a bunch of floating cubes. Like holy fuck, what
>>
>>56041241
I hate to sound like a shounenspic, but the anime has had absolutely horrendous powerscaling ever since Journeys.
I dearly miss when the E4 and Champions all felt like impossible to surmount walls and absolute monsters in battle that when you knew they appeared whoever they were gonna battle was gonna get curbstomped even without them trying.
The damage Journey caused to this franchise is untold.
>>56041438
>To be fair, it wasn't really that weakened. It was barely scratched and still had the juice to kick everyone's ass without breaking a sweat.
That fug reeled at all to Fuecoco's attacks is just utterly ludicrous.
Liko's even worse because at least we see Roy training and tryharding 24/7 but then Liko and the cat perform just as good if not even better just because they're just built different I guess despite Liko being a pussy who's just sitting on her ass 98% of the time.
The other issue is how arbitrary it is, too. Their powerlevels. Both are newfag trainers, not even a badge to their names, but at this point I'd bet good money they'd sweep the Indigo League that we saw in OS without even trying because ??? and despite 95% of the time them being bailed out by the meme turtle or walking k-k-kantooooo ad or something else altogether.
It's like they've got a x1000 exp boost, and Liko has a x10000 shoujo manga yume vn boost too.
>>
>>56041555
Isn't that how it's always been? Ash's Charizard had barely fought any battles and yet it was going toe to toe with an invincible Entei. The anime's always had x100000 exp all on.
>>
>>56041577
Ash's Charizard only fought Entei after it went through like three character development arcs and spent a lot of time at Charific Valley training like a motherfucker after it was shown it was a small fish on a big pond.
And he still got fucked by Entei at the end of the day. And Entei is a legendary of a lesser degree than Fug too.
There's really no comparison.
>>
>>56041592
Big fish on a small pond. Fuck.
Also, it was a movie. Three years after the anime had started.
Even on Journeys the rat at maximum wank levels couldn't get a good hit on a Lugia in one of the last episodes.
>>
Let's think about all the matches where legendaries fought against humans:
>Giovanni with Mewtwo vs Gary: Giovanni stomped
>Mewtwo vs everyone: Mewtwo stomped them
>Charizard vs Entei: technically a stalemate, but Entei was ready to kill Zard
>Latios and Latias vs Annie and Oakley: also a stalemate, but environment shenanigans ended up killing Latios
>Groudon vs everyone: Jirachi had to stop it
>Fug and the wo Deoxys vs fucking tourist robots: somehow the robots were stronger
>the Regis vs Ash and co.: stopped by Mew
>Charizard vs Articuno: Zard won
>Ash vs Brandon: Ash only beat Regice, the other two stomped
>Brandon vs Paul: Brandon stomped
>Zoroark vs the shiny beasts: no one won, but it was on the beasts' side
>Ash vs Tobias: Took four Pokémon to take down Darkrai and two to defeat Latios
>Alain vs the Hoenn duo: the Hoenn duo stomped until Fug put them in their place
>Pikachu vs Silvally: Pika won
>Pikachu vs Tapu Koko: Pika won
>Guzzlord vs everyone: literally required everyone to vanquish them away
>Lugia vs a group of trainers: Lugia stomped
>Articuno vs Ash and friends: Articuno stomped
>Urshifu vs Regice: Urshifu stomped, but one has to wonder how and why Quillion and Danika even had Urshifu to begin with
>Regidrago and Regieleki vs Gary and Goh: Gary and Goh won
>Latios vs a hunter: Latios won, but thanks to Ash's help
>black Fug vs the Explorers and the Tacklers: somehow the humans got the upper hand until Fug managed to get them away and escape

Most battles were won by legendaries. Really, the only bullshit fights are the Deoxys movie one and the matches from Journeys onwards, and maybe Zard vs Articuno if you think about it.
>>
>>56041592
It seems like a pretty fair comparison to me. Rayquaza had finished getting hammered for several minutes and then had to face against a regional professor who had the power of kanto and emoboys on his side, and the only 'damage' it took was a little knockback.
The Entei movie was a bad comparison, I had forgotten that was around Johto. But there were still many similar scenarios taking place in Kanto that just didn't quite add up to the effort put in, like in the second movie where Pikachu and Charizard were at the level where they could fight off direct attacks from the legendary birds while dragging a sleigh across the frozen wastes.

But it's your fic. If you want to dial back some characters and dial forward others, who's to tell you otherwise.

>>56041626
>black Fug vs the Explorers and the Tacklers: somehow the humans got the upper hand until Fug managed to get them away and escape
>somehow the humans got the upper hand until Fug managed to get them away and escape
The humans never had the upper hand or 'escaped'. Fug was there for his trainer, and when he saw his trainer wasn't there he fucked off after slapping them around.
>>
The movie entei doesn’t count as a regular entei since it was imaginary and made up by a bunch of unown, I don’t think it properly scales, Charizard probably would’ve still lost against regular Entei regardless. The most bullshit scaling fights with legendaries would probably come from Mystery Dungeon though since those have first stage mons beating Zapdos as early as the 6th dungeon.
>>
>>56041577
>Ash's Charizard had barely fought any battles and yet it was going toe to toe with an invincible Entei
That's not what happened at all, Entei was this close to killing him
>>

After a drawn out battle where Entei was giving its all. An Entei that was coded to perfection by the Unown.

>Drain kiss for life drain
>Spirit break for boxing/swordsmanship

>>56041839
If you want to get crazy with it you can use real fae mythos as inspiration. Make the MC fae-like rather than fairy-type-like, to play off the idea that humans aren't exactly pokemon.
>never "give" your name to a fae, it gives them a level of control over you
>never lie to a fae, they treat lies as a serious offense. This also means fairies hate trannies because they lie about their gender and who they are. Wordplay and misdirection are okay however

Just posted the 4th chapter of my story, Synchrolysis. Instead of posting the synopsis like I usually do, I thought this excerpt came out sounding pretty cool:
>A huge explosion of fire rumbles the office, emanating from Picto's face in a sharp V shape. The stripped interior of the makeshift lab is instantly set ablaze like kindling, with countless folders of precious research now amounting to little more than fuel for the flames. Having been right in front of Picto, Jones is flash-cremated into gusting heaps of dusty remains. Novu's laptop gets whipped off its shelf by the explosion's shockwave and splatters into the back of Rigel's head. As the inferno consumes him whole, even more research melts into him. In this one moment, these scientists and their stories have come to a brutal end, smoldering away in obscurity with information that the world may never again learn.

>Two Pokémon fly away from the scene in opposite directions. One is a representative for the despair of humanity, the other its hope. One doesn't look back out of confidence, the other out of fear. How could either of them know that these clashing emotions, both resulting in the same lack of precaution, would lead to years of turmoil? The creature of despair is a fearsome Rayquaza, who tears through the night sky at supersonic speeds. Our clandestine beacon of hope is a lowly Noctowl, barely able to flap herself off of the ground with a beak packed full of folders. These two airborne Pokémon might not have crossed paths, but their stories are far from done intersecting with one another. Leaving the ashes of this night behind them a year ago today, where are they now?

We always talk about isekaijins using their meme knowledge to fuck the world, but what about honest to god regressors? That's probably easier to write than Fallers using smogon and for some reason making it through the world without problems because they're the only ones that thought about using type matchs

What the fuck is a regressor?
>>
>>56044497
>He doesn't know
We throw around stupid terms like cultivation, system, Dao, Heavenly Tribulation and so on but that's where you drawn the line?

Anyways, regressor is the fucker that goes back in time, either sent by a superior power that can be a god, ancient ruins or magic, to fix things that can go from the world to his shitty life where he starts to use future knowledge to jerk himself while making everyone else look like an idiot despite stealing their stuff

Rate my Team Rocket taking over the world idea:
>TR has 9 Elite Agents, ranked 01-09, where all are given specific fields to work in in order to try and take over the world (Politically, Business, Contests, Battling, etc)
>All of the Elites know who each other are except for the mysterious #8 who has never been seen or heard from
>Domino, 009, is the top agent and has the sole goal of furthering TR's quest for domination through any means necessary and is Giovanni's most trusted agent
>Domino's current assignment is to recruit a top Trainer into Team Rocket in order to have a TR member attain Champion and potentially Master rank as those ranks grant the Trainer total control over a regions Battling and Contest circuits and can potentially lead to political sway through their contributions to the region (increasing trainer foot traffic, battle watching tourism, difficulty scaling, etc)
>Domino finds someone she can potentially break and bend to TR's plans: Ash Ketchum
>Finds and obtains blackmail information to threaten him and his friends and family with
>Kidnaps him and attempts to make him work for Team Rocket under threat that his mother and friends will be hurt or worse if he fights against it
>After a back and forth between him and Domino it's revealed that he's Team Rockets #8, and is already working for Giovanni as a Trainer attempting to attain Master rank
>Through shenanigans Ash winds up using Domino to further his own methods of becoming Master - revealing to the world that while he was kidnapped by TR for months he fell in love with a TR member (setting up the worlds population interest in a Romeo and Juliet esq situation)
>The pure hearted Trainer who everyone adores and an evil syndicate member
>On the surface it's outrageous, but behind the scenes the entire setup is for show
>Ash declares he'll take down Team Rocket to be with his girl (Domino)
>Through taking down TR he'll actually be in control of it after supposedly destroying it

Cynthia. She's already an archeologist and mythologist or whatever the word is. Send her back in time to the period she's most interested in and watch her nerd the fuck out over being able to experience ancient cultures first-hand. Woops, turns out women have no rights in this time period and even wearing pants in public is seen as grossly indecent, so she ends up a pariah. Except she's also the most talented pokemon trainer alive in this era so she becomes this legendary sort of hermit, living away from civilization to save them from her massive power... or so the legend goes. Until one day the local militia is faced with an unwinnable battle with the oncoming barbarian hordes, so they have no other choice but to call for help from that mysterious witch who lives in the caves, which is a call that Cynthia chooses to answer because she's still too good of a person to just stand there and let them get wiped out, even after they treated her like shit. She wins the battle handily despite the odds being seemingly stacked against her, and that just adds to her growing mystique.

Humans=pokemon that lost the ability to use moves/abilities unless they have some form of atavism or specialised lifelong training.
Humans in turn gained the ability to passively use Helping hand to bond with each other and pokemon to power them up depending on how intent they are on bonding through respect, friendship, family or love.
Hatred or being targeted by hatred reverses that effect tho hence goody two shoes humanity.

So, why the fuck was Colress chilling in Alola after all the bullshit he did in Unova?
>>
>>56048193
The same reason there's a bunch of Germans chilling in Argentina
>>
>>56048193
If Colress was so smart, why did he bet on the losing team?
No, like really. Ghetsis had already lost by the time Colress joined him. Surely he, being a genius with such complex thoughts, would have known that it was a doomed prospect that would also doom his future by making him essentially a war criminal, right?
>>
>>56048214
He is a scientist with no moral compass who gets by on having money and bargaining chips to trade.
>>
>>56048232
Getting by seems subpar for a character that we know is so intelligent.
I think, ironically, Colress has a very powerful brain but lacks the complex thoughts necessary to really gain from it or put it to use. He could easily forge his own company and drive devon/silph co/macro cosmos into the ground, but instead he's just making shooty lasers and annoying noise emitters.
>>
>>56048193
>>56048214
All he cares about is seeing what pokemon can do. He doesn't give a shit if Team Plasma wins or loses, so long as he gets to watch it happen. Also, at the end of B2W2, he had the whole Plasma frigate all to himself. That's a hell of a consolation prize for being on the "losing" team.
>>
>>56048392
Didn't he push Black to the orb in PokeSpe?
>>
>>56048392
>at the end of B2W2, he had the whole Plasma frigate all to himself
Was that actually stated? Surely the humans who run the league, with their complex thoughts, didn't leave such a powerful weapon in the hands of the madman who could join another villain on a whim
>>
>>56048399
It was Ghetsis actually. Not that it makes Colress any less of an inhuman piece of shit in the manga. Then again, everything Unova from the BW ending onward is garbage there.

What did they do with Rose anyways? Last I remember was Sword being evil or something

PokeSpe is a completely different take on most of the characters though.

>>56048401
It's just sitting in the harbor undisturbed. No one in a position of authority seems to care that it's there. To be fair, without Kuryem to power the ice ray it's unclear how powerful/useful the frigate actually is. But at minimum it's a whole-ass yacht.

So are fighting type specialists aurafags or not?
>>
>>56049541
No. Most of them are just punch harder apes. They're more likely to dip into it than some other types sans psychic because their whole gimmick is mastering themselves, but as we can see from the games most fighting type specialists are punch harder scream louder apes.

What would happen if a Human ate Pokémon supplements like Protein, PP Up, etc. Would they die? Is it safer in smaller doses?
>>
>>56050065
Suppository only. The human digestive system will rush it through the system if taken orally, so a suppository is required to ensure the human's slower aura system manages to break down the components before the body itself does.
The effects are about as noticeable as they are with a pokemon, but because humans are much weaker than pokemon nobody bothers unless they're gay.
>>
>>56050065
Smaller dosages.
Similar results.
PPup is used like Viagra with most people opting for safer Leppa berries instead.
>>
>>56049541
No.
Aura fags are the fighting type specialists who figure out how to use the shockwaves from Detect and Rock smash.
Most fail because they go for the powerful moves instead of mastering their basics so they end up super weak or unable to use aura at all.
Brawly is the weakest fighting type specialist for a reason.

Right that was the episode after the deleted gun episode in the Safari zone.
Lets use aura shenanigans and reasonable explanations side by side.

>Ash got held up at gun point during the Safari zone episode
>In order to keep him quiet to avoid a scandal the staff notably consisting of veterans with PTSD helped him train his top Tauros (which is why it doesn't suck at the league) and trained him how to spot traps/ambushes/maintain cover

>Ash is notably most skilled with flying types
>Most flying type specialists have great dynamic vision as a passive boost but also a terrible sense of direction creating the in universe ronin using swordsmanship as training to get over the weak point
>Ash stops sucking as a trainer in Hoenn where Brock picks up a Ludicolo and constantly dances for some reason
>Dizzy punch and Teeter dance apparently are great for resolving issues with ones sense of surroundings and timing so Hoenn is chock full of great trainers that are well put together compared to Kanto choking to "aim for the horn" shenanigans (still has cartel/drug dealer issues and Slateport basically being bangkok with Gardevoir instead of humans providing service)

It's Oak's fault for not actually getting more people who would actually make catching pokemon their entire lifestyle and would just randomly give the pokedex to people (the fact that the person he was supposed to be giving the dex to in this final segment of GSC was Emerald still pisses me off to this day).

Trolls are trying to make it sound like the main character is a pedofaggot who hangs out with children and only wants to return home so he can return to his fat gay lover and continue grooming their adopted child. I just want you to know that NONE of this is true except for the fact he has a trap boyfriend back on earth.
Also unrelated but do not look at any of the art the author has posted. In fact, if you see any colorful images while you're reading you should quickly close your eyes and scroll past it.

in other news, I can't bring myself to even try to read his new story. Every other line is about how gay and faggoty he is with his faggot lover. He also trooned out a bit at the end of TMET with the whole "they" nonsense and hoopa flirting with lapras. It was obvious he started falling further down the faggothole

Tobias and/or Unova anime.
You could argue everything that went wrong with the anime had its roots in these two things, specially so as one directly led to the other.

For the games I'd just retcon swooshie as a whole into one of those fake leaks where Marnie was royalty on the run, Leon was a fraud whose matches were rigged by macro cosmos and just a prop for Rose, and all that stuff.

Singular he has long been the standard for a SINGLE person.
They is used only when talking about an abstract or uncertain number (thus plural) of people, though thus qualified it may be used in a singular context to refer to one of those people at a time.

Trannybattles is good if you don't read any of the forum aspects of it. It has a great category system that allows the writer to include side-material without either bloating the chapter count/squeezing them in a chapter/creating an entirely separate story where they post the side content. I very much like having seperate tabs for the main story, art/media, information like maps and race classifications, and fan-created ministories. You can't really get that anywhere else.
It's a shame that trannybattles has such a schizophrenic moderation team and userbase, but if you don't look at them they don't matter.

Yeah I saw someone get piled on in an ASOIAF fic because the poster described the mc as a trap and apparently trap is now a slur?
Really don't get that one, trap has never been used in a negative context ever.
>>
>>56060154
Trap became a slur because Trap means someone who passes so well that straight white men either don't realize it's a man or they don't care because they're so beautiful.
This, obviously, upsets trannies, who will never pass and will always be disgustingly ugly. Their justification for attacking the term is because "trap inherently has negative connotations and implies we are trying to trick people!". Which is funny because if they truly were women then there wouldn't be any deception involved, so they admit that their whole fetish is a lie.

Basically, they're mimikyus who got the word p*kachu censored because they're jealous.

I don't know what you're referring to by that, but traps pass while most trannies don't and yet traps still consider themselves men instead of women. So, in a way, traps literally are not like trannies, who delude themselves regarding their true sex.

Absolutely crackpot theory with no evidence for it, but it's an interesting idea. On the one hand, tying literally everything together like that so one man is responsible for all the bad things in the backstory is kind of childish one-dimensional writing. On the other hand, anything that makes Ghestis more of an over-the-top piece of shit of a person is a win in my book, since being an actual monster of human being is a somewhat unique trait in pokemon canon.

Erm... there is actually evidence to suggest that N is a descendant of one of the ancient kings.

and since this King is from the Harmonia line, which Ghetsis is a part of, it can be assumed that Ghetsis was hoping one of his children would fulfill this criteria to validate a right to power.
The theory only begins to become crackpot when we get into the possibility that Ghetsis was essentially tossing his children to the wolves until one survived by befriending said wolves.

Galar fic, ongoing. A pussy poke-yank new to the region ends up being sponsored by Leon (along with Gloria and Hop) to compete in the league, despite having no battling ability and arguably balls. Big focus on how fucked the Galar league is in general, and the main character is actually starting to grow so there's character development. Probably my favourite fic to read at the moment.

>https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14170884/1/PokeWild

Pokewild. Slow, autistic, and the main character might actually have an evolved pokemon before starcitizen releases. Maybe. Main character is an isekai chump that loses more fights than he wins, so you have no fear of op'ness here. Could scratch the itch for those people who love the slow burn, hyper focus on training a pidgey and digging in the dirt and mud for survival.

>https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13290110/1/Broken-Things

My current favorite shitfic to read. Not as much combat as others, unless you count the struggles with sexuality, trans penis envy, disabilities, and those heckin' capitalist colonial Trump/Xerneas worshipers as a fight. The Iraq war, Trump, and probably the Rape of Nanking is cannon and almost every one of the main characters' (plural) pokemon are just unhappy to be there. There is no happiness, only Alohan angst.

>https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13775276/1/Throne-of-Mud

Throne of Mud, an isekai where the main character nopes the fuck out of Unova because Plasma is scary and runs away to train under Koga. Started... okay, then starts to go to shit during the dreaded tournament arc. Still an okay read.

Female MC, marine POG is ripped from home and dumped in Hoenn. Able to understand pokemon and very prone to injury. Focus on team bonding and a little wilderness/camping action. Not that bad, not that great (especially the last few chapters), but it's not a chore to read and does a few things differently. I like the main character's pokemon and their personalities, which make up a bit for the woman herself.

>https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14201355/1/Crime-Sometimes-Pays

Crime Sometimes Pays is a Team Rocket centric fic with the main character apparently raised from the dead (and sucked in from our world) via an experiment funded by Giovanni. He's put to work first as a normal grunt (despite never even having heard of pokemon before) and then, because of some fuckups, as Gio's personal wetworks guy. Differs from the usual isekai protag due to being a sometimes aggressive fatty who uses his size and (british/australian?) attitude to intimidate people he doesn't like. Recently gained a stolen Meowstic who doesn't like him as a personal pokemon, which is not much of a surprise considering he also was churlish enough to prompt a personal beating from Giovanni as 'training'. I like the two rocket grunt side characters and their pokemon a lot. Fic itself is needing an update, but the author is apparently working on the next chapter according to a spacebattles message.

>https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13620940/1/The-End-Rekindled

The End: Rekindled. A completed PMD-like (no human I think, no dungeon or game mechanic) fic, also with a meowstic as a main character, set in a darker world with racial (dark/dragon against everyone else) war going on. It's something different with good characters, setting, and a plot that is serviceable. Not a bad read, and what the pokemon are rather than just type play into the fights throughout the fic. I liked it.84n28tvv

How do you imagine the Pokemon world looks like? I think it's just an alternate earth with some islands flipped around, complete with oriental/occidental orientation.

>https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13469959/1/Rocket-s-Exterminator

Dripping with edge, another Rocket fic with the main character being a teenage/child glowie assassin who kills people for Team Rocket as a cover. Gio's top assassin, has to kill best friend/lover at start, pokemon are potentially the only beings in the world who are edgier than him. Full of violence, secret societies vying for control of the world (and MC), and more anime 'nani!?' moments than you can shake a blunt katana at. Very popular fic.

>https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13311666/1/The-Dark-Type

Rare for me to read because it's a *gasp* romance fic, but it has a sneasel/weavile in it so I can tolerate it. Centers around a sneasel and her trainer, falling into a relationship while getting caught up in a time travel plot courtesy of Celebi. Not horrid.

>https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13618519/1/The-Natural

Dead fic, one of the big 'start in wilderness, adapt and survive' fics. Different approach, interesting characters, unfortunately hamstringed by a latter plotline that ended in author burnout and unhappy reviews. Still enjoyable for a bit however and clocking in at 400k words.

>General bitching

Any fic with 'inspired by Hard Enough/The New Normal' in the description is generally not worth the time to read, probably not helped by me not liking the parent fics much either.

Also avoid those 'reincarnator' fics in general in my opinion, the ones where the author self inserts into a dead canon character only to make them super cool and powerful. They tend to be repetitive and dull.

Is it controversial to love tournament arcs in pokemon fics? It almost feels like that's what they're for.

Doesn't line up based off what we've been told in-game. LiarMakerToby got it mostly right, with Hoenn's placement being the most uncertain. All we know about Hoenn is that it's south of hoenn and southwest of Kanto/Johto, so it's probably where he put the dick of Africa.

That said, the amount of times the actual geography is referenced in-game is so few and far between that you could get away with anything. It's obvious Gamefreak doesn't care too much about it, so neither should anyone else.

But this is the fanfiction thread. Seems it might be useful to people writing cringe like war and politics, anyway.
In the earliest games it was obvious Kanto = Kanto region in Japan, complete with references to South America, America, and Russia.
In the latest games the DLC region is in the "East" and the player takes planes to Kitakami, Paldea, and Unova. They seem rather far away from each other.

Pretty sure anon was referring to the lore of Red and Blue referring to the real world multiple times - both via locations (Mew notes on Cinnabar Island specifically referring to Guyana, South America, and some Pokedex entries referring to real animals)
It's rather clear that Pokemon was retconned into its own world where Pokemon became the equivalent of our animals rather than the original intent. Not saying it's worse this way, but it is very interesting to view Pokemon from its original lens which has long-since been abandoned.

This one is some Pokemon/human romance from me with some action and fight scenes in the sequel and a slice of life threequel in the works now, since you specifically requested human/mon romance.

Lonesome No More is a PMD fic and I think it has some bomb ass fights.

Vines of Deceit is by the same author as The Dark Type recommended by other anon. I also enjoyed The Dark Type, Celebi is a well written fey in it. I don't recall the fight scenes in either work being noteworthy as great or bad.

You shouldn't do that with your Pokemon has every flavor of Pokemon/human relationship from romantic to toxic.

Homunculus is an old classic, if you're new enough never to have read it.
https://archiveofourown.org/series/492748
Tears in the Tapestry is a PMD spinoff of it.
https://archiveofourown.org/series/2248959

Ears is another classic series, SPMD fic with human turned Pokemon romance with partner and excellent fight scenes.
https://archiveofourown.org/series/980868

The Guardian Coalition is one I'm still early in reading, just got to it on my read list after poking the first two chapters a long time ago. Has some Homunculus vibes early on but I don't really know its direction yet.

Ocimene is a very broad series, every entry is different, but very skilled writer at nailing tone and narrative voice.

>putting in the bare minimum effort needed
Gen 8 still exists
>>
Old Red and Blue lore is like the pre-OoT Zelda lore. It's interesting from a curiosity standpoint, but it really is better left forgotten. There are fantasy worlds that are better off as their own thing than trying to tie back to the real world.
>>
>>56064152
Ah yes, Gen 8, how could I forget.
>>
>>56064127
Later in the series the games also reference real world languages (Unown is English alphabet, Spanish and French are spoken, etc.). I think the fake text they made up in Gen 8 to make localization "easier" was the biggest departure in a long time.
>>56064127
Even though it's now it's own world it borrows its geographical locales from the real world. Probably something for authors writing travelogues to keep in mind when their characters teleport from Unova to Sinnoh or something, or hike from one town to the next like they're walking down the road.

Any good John Wick inspired fics where somebody beats the shit out of team rocket and underworld mafias in general? Not expecting much given something more mature in this fandom equals a retarded Ash Betrayal fanfic.

If you don't mind crossovers... There's Monsters of my Own on Spacebattles. It's a SI crossover fic of Pokemon and DC Universe.

Pokemon Steel Grey on FF.net. A crossover with Halo. Decent read though it's long dead.

Boldores and Broomsticks, crossover with RWBY, also on Spacebattles.
>RWBY
Yeah, yeah, I know. Just give it a shot. May surprise you.
>>
>>56064212
>RWBY
This series has been surprisingly good for crossovers.
>>
>>56064237
No kidding. And now that Rooster Teeth is gone, it's every writer for themselves when it comes to RWBY.
>>
>>56064237
It's the town bicycle of crossovers
>>

>Boldores and Broomsticks, crossover with RWBY, also on Spacebattles.
Just a few posts ago we were talking about that place and their faggot writers that piss and shit themselves when someone doesn't agree with their views, and guess what? That faggot is on that list

Outsiders is unironically better despite Saito being an OC in everything but name
>>
>>56064256
Nah, that's Nardo, HP and DxD weirdly enough
>>
So, who's exactly in the shitlist on this place? I know that Fuggmann (Borne of Caution) and Crossoverpairinglover (Reset Bloodlines) are hated here, but who else?

Really? What pissed him off?
>>

>Crossoverpairinglover
Qrd?

>>56064342
Someone told him that Pokémon has way more hax and raw power than the entire RWBY verse iirc, and Ash for some fucking reason

RWBY dying in such a pathetic way is still pretty damn funny tho
>>

>Someone told him that Pokémon has way more hax and raw power than the entire RWBY verse iirc
Well, that's true for the most part.
>>
>>56064305
Author of 'The Most Evil Trainer' and just about any fic that has a large amount of politics/loicense talk (e.g. The New Normal) are routinely sledged.
>>
>>56064631
>politics/loicense
>Hey You! The guy with 8 badges, you were chosen to fight for your region!
What to do?
>>
>>56064305
That dude who's writing the Jasmine fic that's over a million words long and has no end in sight gets shit on when he occasionally shows up and insists he's going to finish it, he has a grand vision and he totally knows what he's doing, and he'd like to one day edit it to be publishable as an original novel.

>he
Bullshit
That trash is far too foidbrained to be written by a man or tranny
>>
>>56064645
Tell him you're from Orre. That'll scare him into leaving you alone.
>>
okay I'll admit, I'm new to this board. but what's the deal with this >>56065062 schizo over there? he kind of reminds me of Paul Revere's ride, if you know what I mean.
>>
>>56063933
Larger than our earth, sparser human population. With many more lands to explore and species to discover.
>>
>>56065104
Where did this Orre Stereotype come from I've seen it in fics as well.
>>
>>56065432
I dunno. I like it. People seeing you as an PokeAmerican violent savage has it's strange appeal to me.
>>
>>56065432
Because in Colosseum you play as a literal criminal who reforms his ways and only steals Pokemon for "the right reasonsTM"
Combined with barely any league/authority presence, it's really not surprising people jump to concluding it's a lawless shithole
>>
>>56065461
And that Orre is also inhospitable for wild pokemon. Somehow. At least until Gale of Darkness rolls around and shows the upper left of the region is growing grass and you can catch wild pokemon with bait.
>>
>>56064807
I looked at the most recent chapter and it has a footjob with no sex. She's just stepping on the dude with one foot, and he cums in his pants. Women don't write like that. That level of footfaggot degeneracy is definitely written by a man.
>>
>>56063162
>>executive meddling because Cilan was Ash's companion in Unova and they didn't want him to be tied to an evil organization

You know what? Considering how the Unova anime was, that would've been a welcome treat.
>>
>>56065549
They even aborted the whole TR vs Plasma segment. It's like they wanted to make it boring.
>>
>>56065432
Have you seen how huge the people there are? The Orre gene is no joke.
>>
>>56065548
I'll have to take your word on that, since I bowed out ages ago and have no intention on ever going back. But you haven't considered it took over 1 million words of nothing but dumb bland melodrama to get there, complete with constant handwringing over the MC's super special secret trauma that I'm assuming still hasn't been revealed. Everything I read felt like 100% legitimate foid nonsense.
>>
>>56064309
Never heard of him.
>>
>>56065548
eh you'd be surprised
>>
>>56065423
I think emptier and sparser is correct but not necessarily larger. I think it would be significant if Hoenn was the size of a continent and not the size of Kyushu in real life and it's worth exploring for authorfags if they think it's that different.
>>56065741
Male authors writing coom longfig about their waifus have stamina.
I always assume these fic threads and the OC threads are full of more wimmen than average because making up characters and backstories sounds like a girly thing to do. If you're a man writing long enough about a female you'll turn into one a little.
>>
>>56066041
I'm sure more women than men are into fics but they are likely concentrated in the AO3 slash-shipfaggery scene. Haven't seen that many female(?) authors on Pokémon and other anime.
>>
>>56066070
Naruto and KHR are full of them, I think the hope of the senju clan writer was a girl
>>
>>56066041
>I always assume these fic threads and the OC threads are full of more wimmen
Remember that the handful of actual women on 4chan never reveal themselves.
>>
