>How much effort do you put into the interactions and behavior of Pokemon in your stories? Does a trainer with a full team have inter-team drama and such, or is it more the human characters for drama?
I've never been much of a believer in talking Pokémon, so human drama it is for me. Having said that, a trainer's Pokémon are pretty good at accentuating human drama because of their sensitivity to how their Trainer is feeling when they are out on the field.

It could also work like Orangutans where the males are flange-lets until they take over and start developing alpha traits. Existing alphas also prevent new ones from emerging in that territory unless they are overthrown.

>>57176396
If you write it right, you don't even need them to talk though

>>57176396
If the trainer can communicate with pokemon id make them antisocial/awkward with humans so it balances out.

Isn't that a thing tho? Like I remember that being explained in ORAS and now that I think about it, did the not-mega universe get COMET'd

>>57176863
I think the plan to deal with the comet was to COMET the non-mega universe, but that got stopped by the speedrunning draconid.

>>57176863
Yeah, that is the main reason why I chose mega evolution as the main point-of-divergence for this.
Considering gens I and II and LGPE as their own timelines is just how I try to piece together the games' sequence.

>>57176863
>did the not-mega universe get COMET'd
That's up to speculation because in the not-mega universe you give the meteor falls meteor to the scientists. Since that tiny meteorite(along with others) is used to yeet the major meteor away, it could be reasoned that the non-mega timeline managed to shoot the meteor away using good old teleportation.

basically
>player encounters magma/aqua
>player retrieves meteorite
~sequence of events split~
>RSE: player gives the meteorite back to the scientists immediately
>presumably, the scientists gather more meteorites and use them to yeet the meteor that suddenly appeared. This happening is backed up by the fact the non-mega timeline continues to persist
>ORAS: player holds onto the meteorite.
>scientists don't get the meteorite back. presumably this stalls their research and thus reason to gather more

>>57176924
>non-mega timeline managed to shoot the meteor away using good old teleportation.
That would actually give sense to MUH MULTIVERSE CONQUEROR GIOVANNI, the faggot just got lucky at stealing that technology

Hoenn is the new Kanto. Sinnoh is the new Hoenn. The rest are all the new Johto.
This is my understanding of the modern fic scene.

>>57176859

Aren't humans in WH losing the war tho? The biggest HFY! I know if is Batman

>>57178023
The thing about Batman is he's only HFY when written at his worst. A good Batman is best friends with a Kryptonian and a demihuman made from clay, and doesn't take an ounce of pride in his abilities, nor does he take them from granted - to him they're only tools for the sake of protecting the innocent. He's a good hacker, but he'll call Cyborg if he needs it to be a sure thing. He's an accomplished fighter but he's not stupid enough to think he can beat Lady Shiva.

He's not at his best when he's out proving humanity's badass by punching a space god with prep time, he's at his best when a little girl went missing in Gotham 8 months ago, and was declared presumed dead ages ago - but when an unmarked van in Bialya drops off a crate with her inside to a run-down workhouse, it's Batman who cracks it open and lets her know she's safe after beating every criminal there to a bloody pulp. Because to him, there are no cold cases. He's the World's Greatest Detective, and there's no crack you can slip through too small for him to dive in after you.

tl;dr: Bamham's strength is in very personal human stories and doesn't lend well to standard HFY fare.

>>57177596
He spends hundreds of millions of years in the ozone layer. In a timeframe that big its likely he wound up BTFO'ing an Alien invasion or three and started being territorial with them ever since.
That could explain why there are wild Elgyem and other spacemons on earth, they keep getting stranded because Fugg breaks their ships.

What does your Pokemon League Trainer Battle Rulebook™ look like? Exactly how it looks in the games? Smogon rulesets? Completely different because it isn't turn based?

>>57179311
>Pokemon League Trainer Battle Rulebook™
Just one
>Outside of official matchs and spars anything is fair if its a threat to your life
USUM showed that Team Leaders will kill you or sent their grunts to do it in the worlds where they won

>>57178940
I'd rather they completely ignore them from here on out. Not a fan of multiverses or of the UBs.

I still struggle to figure out how to implement stuff like Sucker Punch, U-Turn or even switching out in general.

>>57179551
Priority moves are easy, and Sucker Punch is merely a priority move with an activation condition.
Switching moves though, don't even try to explain them, since nothing you do will make them make sense. Just have them work however you want them to work and act as if that's completely natural. Because of course U-Turn returns a pokemon to their ball and the exact pokemon they want to come out next is released, that's just how it works! Trying to go into the nitty gritty will just add needless confusion and possibly upset people who have different interpretations.

>>57179583
Yea but Sucker Punch only isn't really broken because the command to use a move is both given and interpreted at the same time by the one using it, you can always Sucker Punch right when you hear the other trainer telling their mon to use a offensive move, which would make it broken? Maybe i'm just making it more difficult than it has to be i guess.

>>57179599
But Sucker Punch has to be readied BEFORE the offensive move goes out.
So, calling out Sucker Punch AFTER the other mon starts their move could induce a failure.

One option around this is that you could train your mon to always have Sucker Punch secretly prepped, but that would introduce obvious stamina/practically concerns. Now your mon is constantly burning energy at all times, and depending on if Sucker Punch induces a visible effect it gives the other side the option to wait you out. On top of this your mon's ability to activate another move in a timely manner might suffer due to Sucker Punch hogging their power/focus, which could harm your ability to punish a utility move.

It's only broken if you for some ungodly reason stick to a turn-based format like Ever Play Competitive. In a world like that, yeah, a lot of things suddenly become broken because both trainers don't throw out their moves on their own concurrent turns. I don't know why Ever Play Competitive didn't just do this. From a gameplay perspective, each trainer has their own turn that happens at the same time as the other.

>>57179599
>priority is just yelling out a command really loud over the other guy
>DODGE IT is a priority move

>>57179809
>DODGE IT is a priority move
I can't remember the fics I've read where this was a thing, but I remember hating it every time. Pokemon shouldn't need to be told to dodge lol.

I liked the way Hajime no Ippo did it thought. It's not that the fighter needs to be told to do something obvious, it's the fact that being told by someone close to them helps spur their body into motion even if it's otherwise failing. >>>/wsg/5775859 In this webm the dude was in a bad spot and unable to move, but through the power of friendship his coach was able to get him to guard anyways.

Wrong again since popular guy A only tries to pick on Ash only to fail like Draco Malfoy.

It happened like this, Ash has two friends that are outcast. A wimpy boy who is a walking target for every bully and an occult loving maniac. Popular guy A tried to bully them only for Ash to get in the way. They tried to settle with an arm wrestle which Ash wins since an adventurer's body strength is greater than a settler. Only Childhood Friend C and Popular guy D saw popular guy A to lose. Ever since then, popular guy A is trying to pick a fight with Ash which he ignores.

The champion actually caught their legendary instead of being gifted with legendary pokemon due to bloodline.

How would you write a Pokemon LitRPG?

>>57182938
Unless you bring out normal monsters trying to kill humans through ultra portals, you can't make it work. Sure, giving a system to some trainers can be a thing given how advanced is their technology but why would they do that?

>>57183030
>monsters start pouring out of portals
The classic korean manwha gate plot, that's an interesting idea to pair with Pokemon. People besides the protagonist would get a LitRPG system/superpowers, which would even out the playing field. But then again, a team of six Pokemon attacking all at once is already so powerful, the scale of all the monsters would have to go way the fuck up, especially as the MC and his team level up.

>>57183094
>But then again, a team of six Pokemon attacking all at once is already so powerful, the scale of all the monsters would have to go way the fuck up, especially as the MC and his team level up.

>>57182441
Shirou has a strong will but he has low mana and is not trained enough to win against those with more experience, in a world like JJK he would be fucked because any more powerful being would be able to just pop their own domain expansion against him, it's just that reality marbles in Fate are (technically) rarer and are more of a luck-based thing than something you actively strive towards
tl;dr: Domain Expansions are skill-based while Reality Marbles is something you stumble upon

This is the first time I've seen the interpretation that his pokeball is hovering rather than being bounced up and down in a casually intimidation gesture.

>>57184038
Because it's a stupid and dumb interpretation

>>57184079
To be fair, to the beta Erika sprite doesn't look like she's bouncing a ball. Her eye are close and her hands are spread out like she's channeling some power rather than bouncing a ball, plus the ball doesn't seem to vertically line up with her palms.

Ghost Specialist made it so that they're more emotional, but are trained enough to handle "spirits" or something. They also carry ghosts in their shadows which is admittedly pretty cool. I think in-game some Ghost-type users are more spiritually attuned since they tend to be exorcists or monks. Personally, I'm not a fan of characters being pigeonholed into having certain characteristics based on the Pokemon they train. I feel like it unnecessarily restricts things.

Back after a holiday/end of year hiatus with a new chapter in what I'm working on. Missed the last couple of threads, but figure I'd post here to shill.

What about Valerie, Mina, and Opal is that weird though? Like the only weird thing about Valerie is the eyes, she comes cross as an eccentric fashion designer otherwise. Mina is an obsessive painter (and we've already seen a weirdo artist in Burgh) and Opal is just... normal? Nothing about Opal strikes me as strange.

I don't know for certain, but there have been moments where I've pushed several typo fixes through and I swear some didn't actually go through when I checked weeks later. But then again I could have just naturally skipped one or two chapters by accident.

I am gonna be honest, this is without doubt the worst fanfic concept I have ever seen in a long time and that includes all the harem slop. Nothing in the walls of tropes has any punchlines for delivery, it's a blatant copypaste of other anime with Pokemon elements down to the roles despite clashing with the tone of Schools in the Pokemon games, it's bloated up the ass with settings coming at the risk of being undermined or left with failed deliveries. The Serena part reads like a total borefest and only caters to NEETs who want to show off the kind of girl who wouldn't immediately shit on them for being creepy or the insert MC you're basically labeling Ash as, The Queen and non-Serena Girls parts read like even a bigger downgraded version of the average Haremslopfest, the hiding identity part is cliche to the point it's not even funny anymore since anybody who spends a day or two around someone with even the resemblance of a name would mellow so add overdramatization or overhyping Ash to the issues of this blatant self-insert fantasy, the inflation through Elite Fours and their Champions come across as a repetitve slop undermines the status behind the role from the games and this is me not even expanding on the part with Serena only being there for blueballing purposes which of course will fall short.

Unless you can actually provide a first chapter or two instead of just slapping together every tidbit that appealed to you from other shows, you can consider this wall of text a waste of time

>>57186072

It's like ghost specialists. All the Gym Leaders and Elite 4s act and look like regular people, when Hex Maniacs and Channeleres are tripping balls 24/7. The less you can handle the power, the more odd it makes you over time.

I still have no idea how religion works in this world and sometimes the games make it worse
If a god physically exists and people can just stumple upon it... what the fuck does that mean to that world? Or is the player character supposed to just nevetr actually have god (or at least a representation of it) in their party?

>>57187257
Who knows, maybe the church was part of the dropped Aus lore but they were too lazy to remove it. I mean, I would believe it knowing how GF acts 85% of the time

>>57187257
That's actually addressed in PLA.
>“If only we could grow to understand the wild Pokémon of Hisui. Then we could roam the entire region without fear.”
>“So… almighty Sinnoh is a Pokémon… Just like…the Pokémon in our settlement?”
>“How should people deal with Pokémon in a world that’s said to have been created by none other than a Pokémon?”
In part due to witnessing the gods(both who they believed to be Almighty Sinnoh and who actually was Almighty Sinnoh) being pokemon, the Diamond and Pearl clans had a change of heart and saw pokemon more as friends.
Human religion in Pokemon seems to be centered around the idea of never forgetting that Pokemon should be friends.
>If a god physically exists and people can just stumple upon it... what the fuck does that mean to that world?
Arceus almost never appears in the world, even through avatars. The only known case IIRC is beside the ancient hero and later the PCs. The other gods appear more frequently; we know for certain that Palkia and Dialga appeared before the Diamond and Pearl clans several times, and we know Regigigas and other legendaries that could be considered gods(like ho-oh) are pretty much always present albeit often at a distance from humans. The religions too espouse friendship with pokemon.
>Our clan engraved words in this place
>Our clan created Pokémon statue outside
>We humans need to walk with them. We leave here for the sake of them

>>57187299
I guess my main problem with it is how little each region interacts with one another, like actively how are the deities in each region different from one another, if the pokemon are widely regarded as friends why is the usage of pokeballs so accepted, stuff like that.
Even with games like PLA which focus basicaly entirely on that it still feels lacking.

>how little each region interacts with one another
They do, but the exact hows whens and whys are pretty ambiguous. Only some things are certain, like the ancient Celesticans and Johtonians meeting and having a brief mixing of cultures/faiths.
>like actively how are the deities in each region different from one another
It's not even different regions. Even in the same region there exists multiple faiths/deities. The regi-faith in Sinnoh is exclusive to the Arceus faith, most likely predating Celestica entirely.
>if the pokemon are widely regarded as friends why is the usage of pokeballs so accepted
Calm down N, pokeballs aren't torture devices so that's not really a problem. Rather, pokeballs are both symbolically and literally something that unites humans and pokemon. Especially with the release of PLA, which strongly hints that the ancient hero who befriended the original nobles used Origin Balls or something like them.

The goal of religion is to ensure that humanity is a net good for pokemon kind because pokemon are god's children. If humanity does more harm than good they may find themselves deleted from existence, so spreading friendship and preaching coexistence is not just a spiritual philosophy, it's an existential necessity.

You can always conveniently make a situation in which a character is killed
I personally would just make her team bred for Contests, therefore unexperienced and slow, that + the other guy having a mon with a priority move and the deal is sealed.

>fic suddenly breaks out into a musical

>>57189089
What about Kekqua? Instead of his retarded plan he'll probably try to catch a Celebi

>>57189215
Honestly the whole thing with Aqua is dumb and my biggest pet peeve with that entire thing, rewriting it so he confronts his father but proceeds to give up on revenge and let Karma do its thing due to him having grown as a person, accepting his identity as Aqua and choosing to live his live as that.
I feel bad about taking another writer's work and putting a "good ending xD" spin on it so I would probably just make it inspired by OnK.

>>57189288
What about the girls? Ruby's ending was ridiculous

>>57189439
Ruby even if her want to be an idol comes from a place of trying to repeat what Ai did, it was still something that she enjoyed doing, so the aspect of concluding that dream doesn't feel as wrong and without Aqua's death a lot becomes more reasonable, the biggest challenge would be tackling the romance afterwards, the easy answer would be making Aqua accept Akane's or Kana's feelings, both those characters would benefit from either getting with Aqua or just focus on their careers and learn to live with that rejection and then you make Ruby realise she only loved Goro romatically and even then it was only as a teenager. This would in several ways be the easiest outcome the write, tackling the romance between Ruby and Aqua would be challenging but as a joke making Ai or Kamiki reincarnate as their child would make for a good punchline.

>>57187484
I despise how they make actual lore in the background then barely share any of it. Fucking hacks.

>>57189612
Hey, it gives them all the leeway they need to retcon and rewrite whatever they so please.

So would Zekrom/Reshiram defend Unova if the region is being invaded? Had a brief talk with an anon about his headcanons about regions and one of them has Kalos conquering Unova along with a few regions in the past, really interesting but the thread got archived before I could respond. The Swords of Justice would definitely fight, Kyurem would just be in it's hole but I'm not sure about the Tao duo.

>>57190022
I liked the recent chapters barring those little blurbs. I’m guessing it’s to put a close to Ash’s angst about his old man and remove the lingering issue between him and Lance.
>>57190118
If they’re awake I assume they will since the heroes working with them would want to defend their homeland.

>>57190118
In the ancient past? Considering the strained relations, the Tao Duo probably wouldn't come to Unova's aid unless the invaders were morally bankrupt compared to the locals. The Tao Duo were the ones who glassed Unova after all.
In the present? The Tao Duo would probably look kindly upon the nu-age Unovans, and even if not then N would singlehandedly rebuff any attempt even without beseeching the Tao Duo.
Also,
>Kalos
>conquering anything
lmao. They might have a good defense since they got Lucario shaggers to protect them but that doesn't mean much on offense since muh honor would prevent them taking part.

>>57190148
>Kalos
>conquering anything
To be fair, I replayed X and there was that one palace that was built after Kalos won with their neighboring regions. The problem I had with the anon's headcanon was that, from what remembered from the thread, Kalos somehow won even if a hero stepped up and awakened one or both of the Tao duo, with his headcanon that the statues of Zekrom and Reshiram in the palace's garden being trophies.

Any fics that feature double battles? one monster bashing the other's shit back in is fine to conceptualize, but keeping track of multiple fiends fucking multiple holes is another deal entirely

>>57190182
>built after Kalos won with their neighboring regions
But why would they glorify the enemy region's legendaries? Even if to commemorate the victory against them out of a sort of knightly honor, the statues would still be made secondary to whatever Kalos used against them. Surely, the Tao Duo would have been responsible for the deaths of many. It would've been non-kosher for them to be glorified so strongly.
I think it's more likely Kalos and Unova double teamed some suckers who were so depraved that even the Tao Duo were okay with blasting them.

Do you usually do romances (Either gag, mild, or serious bits) in your fics?

>>57190194

Romance is cringe to read and even cringer to write.

>>57190182
>>57190189
The dragons have been MIA for thousands of years. Even if Kalos did go to war with Unova and somehow win, the dragons were nowhere to be seen.

It was weird to me too. Kalos and Unova were most likely allies back then. I'm not familiar with America's history, but didn't the french helped fight alongside them early in their history? The same probably happened in the pokemon world.

They don't play Janny to any region, they moralfag about Truth and Ideals and pick their enemies accordingly. They will even raze Unova itself if the region deviants from what they value. This is why they should be refined into raw energy for Kyurem's cultivation.

Cultivation pretty much requires making everyone other than the MC an evil bastard, which doesn't really work in the context of pokemon unless you bastardize a lot of canon characters that we know for certain are are good people.

>Cultivation pretty much requires making everyone other than the MC an evil bastard
Havent heard that take before, what makes you say that?
Unless im not nearly as cultured as i ought to be, shouldnt a healthy dose of competition be enough of a drive for one to try and be the best qi impaler or whatever the fuck theyre called? Or are the higher realms (maybe rightly) suspicious of lower-realm scourges?

>>57192088
If you go the wuxia route it could be a regular battle shounen yeah. But xianxia(which is proper "cultivation") grows and scales things a bit differently, and you need to justify why your MC is getting into conflicts instead of sitting in a cave all day taking drugs.
For pokemon, that either means making your MC a murderous psychopath who goes on the offensive, or making the others murderous psychopaths so your MC can be justified in his """self-defense""" (slaughtering an entire gym sect and looting all they possess because one single gym trainer crossed a line)

>>57192088

Fine.

>>57194507
I still don't see the point of Ash being bullied, because that was the original concept until manic pixie girl Serena joined school.
If anything Brock and Misty would be the first ones to appear to stop that

Last 12 months of updates, and the chp 2:26 is up for a 1 year anniversary in 4 days, so really you can cut that one off.
That means there have been 8 chapters in the last YEAR (361 days)

Also BOC had story/pacing issues ever since the 4th gym, so there's a lot of low quality over the last 2 years leaving it stuck in the mud.

It's dead. It's obvious he isn't interested in writing it further. He makes 4.1k a month too, but those are going to be a lot of terminally discord people who probably don't even care about the story and just wanna a poketrannycord to post in with their colored donation names.

>>57195714
TRVKE. It's the GRRM effect.
If you give anyone that works their ass off at first enough money to live comfortably why would they ever return to the same output? He sold out but he can now do what he actually wants to now in exchange for minimal effort. I'd probably do the same.

>>57195932
Oh I'm not saying I wouldn't either, I'm just pointing out that it happened and I'm jelly
I should actually finish writing something

>>57195714
How long are those chapters?

>>57196131
Starting from the top down, in words
>6277, 9253, 6463, 5004, 5369, 5124, 6976, 6446, 5126
in comparison, the last few chapters of Hard Enough was
>5058, 5302, 5031, 5400, 5122, 6156, 5695, 5871, 4876
which was done in the last 60 days

Generally I say that 2000 words is a very short chapter, usually come in pairs with a split.
4000 is okay, but 5000-6000 is where it feels decent length.
Longer than that, like the standout 9253 one starts to feel long.

>>57182837
He's still yapping? I would have though he changed his mind from such a retarded idea .

>>57182407
Nah,I'd win.

>>57196165
Nah you've got an overinflated standard. 4k+ is pretty high in terms of chapter lengths on average, with 6k+ getting to the point of being pretty out there. Still, you are correct that that's a pretty small amount of content for the amount of time

>>57183600
He made them too powerful

>>57196199
Post some stories you like and show how many words they have and the rate they update.

I've read a bunch of webfics and 4k isn't high at all, it's pretty standard unless you're updating 2-3 times a week which is better to have 2k words.
4k-6k is perfect for 1-2 week updates, though a 2 week update would make 4k feel very slow.

Saying 4k is high means you're probably thinking of garbage unless chapters have been split up significantly.
Also: 2k words is tiny. Anything less than that doesn't really qualify as a story. Not enough time to set anything up, too few details, not enough content. I usually see that sort of stuff from stories that are just back and forth dialog between characters, as if someone imagined a conversation in their head and turned it into a 'chapter', but there's no details to it.

>>57196243
I'll clarify, I'm actually interested to see what stories you're familiar with and enjoy and what the length/cadence is for them, otherwise this is what I'm working with.

Is it really that hard to write him?

How do I write about pokemon breeding without mentioning genitals or intercourse?

>>57196643
Like you would from a textbook,just use scientific terms and avoid description of intercourse entirely from the perspective of a gooner.

>>57196643
>As if they were dancing

>>57196643
Is this important?
Google search the "method" of the life form they are based on/derived from and use it as a base to interpret it.
I'm not sure how you'd write objectmon sex so good luck with that.

>>57196643
Have we ever seen a pregnant woman in the franchise?

>>57196643
brock said he wanted to be a pokemon breeder for the entire series and didn't once mention anything sexual. In fact, "pokemon breeder" is basically a professional nature preserve for pokemon and you take care of the pokemon letting them do their own thing, and occasionally sell them off so they can fulfill their battle desires.

That one can.
And, maybe.

>>57194544
Despite being one of the most shameless isekai power fantasy slops and the epitome of meme politics New Normal has been extremely consistent in terms of updating. Dude's been at it for close to two years without skipping a single update as far I remember.
Even if it's slop, I can respect that much.

So... any good Unova fics?

All Pokémon humans should be like this and if not all, there must be at least a few autists doing it because when your team falls in the face of evil it is easier to beat the shit out of people legally

Like how Draco Malfoy "bullied" Harry Potter?

>>57201413
Harry was known only for surviving that night, not because he was the strongest fucker ever, and beyond that he was mediocre to average as a wizard

>>57199713
>Forgot the name
FUCK

>>57201413
Don't go off-topic by making it about non-Pokemon stuff. You should understand Ash as a character before shoving him into a position that flatout doesn't work with his status quo or circumstances, anything else only comes across as the lackluster mindset of:
>Wow this thing from [random media] is cool
>I will copy it with a completely different character.
Without a foundation your whole idea just falls short of being nothing except reading as boring and unoriginal.

>>57201426
>Harry was known only for surviving that night
Harry was known as the kids that took out the stronggest dark wizard as a freaking baby. He was already the hero of wizarding world and later become the regular in his quidditch team. Compare to that, Malfoy was freaking nobody, just another rich kid and Harry was freaking rich as well.

Unlike that, nobody in the school knew that Ash from their class and legendary world champion Ash Ketchum from five years ago were the same person. Popular guy A was just competitive who wanted Ash to take him seriously.

>>57201466
Your premise is just shallow and boring if you try to bend everything around Ash in his favor just because it sounds appealing to only you.

Just stop trying to justify it. Who cares what people say. Even the most retarded concept can be done well. So just shut up and write the story you wanna write. Either it will be bad and you can learn from it or it'll be good and people will like it. Hell, people might still like it if it's shit or hate it if it's good. Your idea is just public jacking off until you actually write it so stop saying it's a good idea and PROVE its a good idea!

Pic unrelated I just like pregnant chicks.

>>57201661
Anything can work, yes.

>>57201633
>Would Ash in character despite being older let himself be bullied?
Its because he is older and more mature that he completely ignores the popular guys trying to pick a fight with him.

>First you say he was picking on him
I said he picked on him, I never said he bullied him.

>>57201847
>>57201861
Honestly just start writing the first or second chapter and share it instead of acting like an asshole who can't handle criticism.

>>57199713
>>57201459
It's called The Scuttling Mob or something like that. Last I checked it was on pseudo hiatus with the author only dropping in once every year or so with a chapter.

>>57201861
At this point your dogshit spelling and terrible plot idea will make a hilarious fanfic, I say go for it.

>>57199713
So what happens if this character has his Skorupi evolve? Are there loopholes to this i.e. can he use Silvally equipped with a Bug Memory?

>>57202672
From what I remember reading, the bug requirement the condition is that he needs to use pokemons *with* the bug type, he can use dual types fine as long as one of those is bug.

Is there an afterlife in Pokemon? Do humans and Pokemon have to adhere to the same rules? What are their likely '10 commandments' or main rules of entry or whatever—would 'thou shalt not kill' be one of them, when humans and Pokemon routinely prey on each other? Are Pokemon even smart enough to get an existential or religious crisis—could you get a carnivore to kill itself out of guilt, for example? Do Pokemon in the wilderness make churches, or develop their own pagan beliefs in isolated areas? Do wild Pokemon ever start religious wars to convert other wild pokemon in their area, or try to convert their trainer to their beliefs?

>>57203064
That IS where Dusknoir guides people. If ghosts exist, then an afterlife does too.

You can take the canon from someone else's fic and it'll be just as valid as taking from the anime canon. That's how canon the anime is.

No canon is real. All it is is people trying to make sense of fiction and pretending their understanding of fake events is more valid than other people's understanding of fake events. Its fragile and creators change it on a whim. The fact that you said Disney Star Wars isn't canon proves it by showing that the only authority you respect is your own preferences. I beg you to stop letting your mind be caged by imaginary rules in fantasy stories.

Disney disrespects the original Star Wars canon about as hard as Amazon disrespects the original Tolkein canon. If you're likening the anime to that and trying to catch me on a legal technicality then I guess you win this argument, but no one sane actually considers Disney's or Amazon's retcons to be true canon. They can own the rights it doesn't change a thing.
Plus the anime doesn't hold to its own reinterpreted canon. One episode Ash can lift logs and toss them like they're paperweights, the next he can't even make a log budge when it's already at an angle. One episode he can nearly clear leaps across massive ravines, the next he can't even catch a hot air balloon that's only 10 or so feet off the ground.
Calling the anime canon is just wrong.
>>57203918
Pokespe and the others are all their own canons.


I don't get what's so hard to understand about this. The multiverse existing doesn't suddenly mean all canons are canon. Yoshizilla's fart fics aren't suddenly canon because the multiverse exists.
