>>58801685
Well there are our writebro fics:

In Mine Own, follows Kuzey as he and eventually a few others work to solve a mystery.

Pokemon Crystal Light - A Pokemon Final Fantasy, follows the knight Wol as he and (his) Blastoise journey to stop a coming devastation.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/63406333/chapters/162454279

Prince of Po Town, follows a man named Ian who is isekai'd into a fallen Alola and his life there.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/66210784/chapters/170669461

A Crazed Creation, follows a schizophrenic Gible who searches for meaning.

Aura cultivation move aside, the people of pokeearth have forgotten ENGLISH and can no longer use the unown language for power, but not isekai-kun. Using a basic understanding of the english language it's possible to become the strongest like no one ever was.

Fact: Kanji are so FUARKING strong they allowed ANY pokemon to grant ANY move quick attack priority or a life orb damage boost simply by visualizing the Kanji in their head. This was before the Unown globalization cult took over and the ancient nipponese symbols of power were lost to the ages sadly

For the record there is an open self submit ao3 collection here for thread fics, to be easier to share. I think you can submit non ao3 fics to it through submitting a link to where its posted. So feel free to submit yourself if you want, people tend to forget this collection exists specifically to answer this question. It will not be curated beyond an author asking me to remove their work, so post whatever you want.

filthy sakura savages wield a fraction of a copy of a dilution of the glorious xia language and think themselves gods. The character for "big" is actually originated from the superior, BIGGER mainland, which as you well know is the heart and origin of civilization.

Yeah, it's a big plot point in the games game that the Unown script is some ancient thing only a few people know how to read. We the players have no issue because we're extraterrestrial entities with extraplanar knowledge piloting a living child.

Do you have talking Pokemon in your story? Do you think Pokemon should be able to talk in the first place?
>>
>>58803293
Yes, in three senses. There was one character in my fic who is a Pokemon, but is capable of shapeshifting into human form, and is also capable of human speech. Additionally, all Pokemon are "speaking" when making their noises in my world, as they're all to some degree sapient beings with language and intent, but most humans need to spend time with their Pokemon before they can actually understand one another.

>>58802904
Sometimes I just overuse words for the bit.

So, guys, we know curse changes it's effect depending if the user is ghost typed or not.
What if there were more cases like that (not tied to typing in specific)
Like, what if swords dance for either steel or rock types meant either changing their metal bits to be more spiky(steel) or in case of rock types, basically putting stealth rock rocks that looks like blades while dancing on their body to launch with physicall attacks.

What do you do when you only have an outline of what happens for your next section but a solid idea of how to actually write the section after? Do you just block out/bullet point events for the middle bit and carry on writing afterwards or do you just bash out the bare minimum with a plan to fix it later so you at least have a constant prose for reading through afterwards?

If I write a gag character who's a trap will I get labeled as transphobic?
>>
>>58806819
On spacebattles probably yeah. I don't know about RR/SV/QQ tho, and FF/Ao3 doesn't matter.
>>
>>58806819
I've seen traps mentioned a lot on QQ, sometimes the stray attention-seeking tranny projects himself onto a girly dude and gets mad but you can just ignore that as the mods only care if there's an annoying off-topic blow-up about it and the majority of readers will not give a fuck.
>>
>>58806819
Define gag.
Hideyoshi? Astolfo? Hideri?
It depends on how you write him. Is it comedy relief that life shits on him all the time? Is he the mood maker? Is he lighthearted and retarded at first glance but actually very competent? Or is he a transvestite stereotype where he actually traps people?
It really really varies here.
Fact of the matter though, the people who'll want to call you so, will do so no matter what you really do so it's not worth dwelling on.

No

How chad is your protagonist?
>>
>>58807671
Took the entire first arc to win his first real Pokemon battle, his crush's nickname for him is "coward", his starter Pokemon derives amusement from his embarrassment like a bratty kid brother, is physically the weakest of the entire hero cast, has been borderline SA'd/actually murdered by a grown woman, and squealed like a little girl when aforementioned crush touched his thigh.

I don't like to boast, but he's pretty based.

Impossible.

>>58807671
Wol would be a chad if he didn't doubt himself as much as he does. He is as of now the greatest knight in the kingdom, possibly the strongest pokemon trainer on the continent, a hero prophesied to save the world, and a princess is after his dick. Garland was the real 'chad', personality wise and better than Wol in every way, until their final battle where Wol finally beat him to set their win record to 1 v 100+.

Tobio could be a a chad if he wanted to be, but he doesn't wanna be.

>>58807671
I don't think so. He is a 'tweaker' to say the least. Has uncontrollable (sometimes violent) outbursts, doesn't know where he is half the time and has numerous delusions/hallucinations swimming about in his reality-avoiding mind at all times.
He loses most fights, grows to have a terrible temperament, a horrifying amount of envy and becomes excellent at pretending.

Definitely not a Chad. Although I think overcoming suffering leads to Chad-dom. So he will be a gigachad by the time it’s done.

>>58810443
I'm fine if it's something like Misty Kasumi or Brock Takeshi. If it's not, it's pretentious.

I did use a location's Japanese name once in a flashback to show it was taking place in the distant past.

I like it when semi-realistic elements are used, such as cultural or linguistic differences.

This is something that was lost with the dubbing of Pokemon BW Anime. Ash(Satoshi) is a Japanese boy in America, for the first time in a very distant land. Many characters used Japanglish in their vocabulary; the written language was different and Ash sometimes didn't read it correctly. Likewise, the use of honorifics was misused or deliberately ignored to represent that cultural barrier.

Even children's literature like Harry Potter plays with this by using foreign characters like Victor and Fleur.

I actually supplanted a canon game character into my fic, but since it doesn't take place in the mainline game universe I used his Japanese name so that it wouldn't be so obvious he is a canon character. He is the only canon character who I've used in the fic, so I consider it more of an easter egg for true god tier autists. He is just a minor side character in the story and a relatively obscure one in the games too. Though he probably does show up in the anime and manga at least once. It started as 'I need a name for this side character, lets look up inspiration' before going 'I will just steal the whole character and use his Japanese name so nobody will notice'.

hoo boy. i do have a skeleton for large plot that includes time travel 4d chess and fujoshi girl as best girl there. i tried myself at writting, but im too short on words and unexperienced. and retarded
also there was this one fic i actually did my best, but the program i was using to write in died and killed a very good fight scene. damn it was a good one, i even impressed myself with how i pulled it off. it was a gym leader 2v2 fight where gym leader makes an unexpected combo move, like, you expect one obvious strategy, but instead he turned the tables with switching his pokemons targets and moves. that was fun one
>>
>>58811206
>but the program i was using to write in died and killed a very good fight scene
Absolute pain, anon. I lost like 50 pages of an old fic (was too shy to post at that point kept writing it for some reason) and after re-writing one page I knew I wouldn't be able to match what my mind had believed the first draft to be. Didn't write for two months after that until I somehow found a way to open the file with a different program and I got a weird version of it but was able to recover the part of the story. Not sure I would've continued if I hadn't found it.

>tried myself at writing
Best way to practice is to write (many would say "read" as well). I got my first bits of writing experience doing short smut stories that, looking back are awful, but I learned a lot and it helped me become the obnoxious writefag I am today.

>>58811277
Greentexts are good practice when you're first starting out as it gives you a quick way to get the meat and potatoes of a story/scene. They can start to become a crutch if you're not careful since it'll essentially "conclude" the story in your mind. Most greentexts I've written didn't end up turning into anything, oddly enough. When you flesh out a story you'll find neat little discoveries of things that (usually) make it better. Greentexts eventually become like TV dinners. They're quick, easy, and satisfying enough but not match for the real thing.
>also theres certain ppl on the internet i want to morally destroy by better writting
Whatever motivates you, but holding grudges and getting specific about them often starts stupid, unnecessary drama. I find writing for myself and to make those sweet view counts go up is fulfilling enough but I'm an autist so whatever.

Read that FGO streamer fic on QQ, they just finished Orleans. The Pokemon part is very distracting to say the least. Without it, it's just normal part 1 FGO which didn't get good until Camelot. I appreciate the alternative-ish route they were going for though.
I feel a little bit of pity for actual streamers now because the chat in story is just an onslaught of the same unfunny joke repeated over and over. At least when I watch a stream irl, I can turn the chat off and it's not constantly in my face.
Septem is next and I just know the Nero wank or bash is going to be insufferable. I don't hate Nero, I just think most fics don't know how to write her and they don't let her be serious. I think it's best if she dies in a ditch before the singularity's start before the writer embarrasses themselves and her.

>>
>>58812208
I got so many bullshit worldbuilding details for stuff that I have to remind myself to not pointlessly cram into the story. Sometimes its way better to leave that stuff unmentioned directly and to just have it be implied. One of the great successes of the first Harry Potter book was how you get a tiny sliver of the wider wizarding world with Diagon Alley (which my dumb ass never understood was a pun until literally this exact moment). It doesn't explain anything beyond what is immediately nescessary, but there are details and lines that imply so much more is going on in the world that your mind sticks there and wonders about them. That wonder, the lingering curiosity that keeps readers hooked, is what hidden world building is great for. Just you knowing these details without explaining them informs your writing in a way that readers will unknowingly pick up on.
>>
>>58812491
Buried? Hah. The mountain of trash simply sits upon my shoulders as I stand unphased. My work is a treasure. Those lucky and determined enough to find it are all I need.
>>
>>58812783
I don't think Harry Potter is the best example considering how trash its worldbuilding actually is if you squint your eyes even a little bit. We don't know the details because they don't exist, and if JKR tried to expand on them even slightly it would all come apart at the seams.
>>
>>58812686
Wol has wild and messy hair that gets mentioned sometimes, meant to invoke the absolute mane on the FF1 sprite. The actual color of his hair (and all the characters actually) is left unmentioned because each remake and reboot of FF1 decides to arbitrarily change characters hair colors. Generic Warrior has red, brown, or white depending on the version, and Sarah has been blonde, green, or pink.
>>
>>58812793
Thats why I mentioned the first book specifically, when it was all simple implications that hadn't been built upon yet. Its the application of what little world building there is that is good rather than the world building itself. It makes the reader feel like they've just entered a vast world that they know little about just like the protagonist.

I like it when the MC is strong, but everyone else they're competing against also is, and if the MC slips up or gets complacent even once, they will be overtaken, so they use this as their motivation to get stronger, which makes everyone else motivated to keep getting stronger to catch up to them.
It's no fun when the MC is so ridiculously ahead of everyone there's no chance for anyone no matter who to catch up. It's even worse when the story tries to make us pretend they're actually competition but in reality they're just jobbers to wank the MC as da stwongest.

I think FF!anon and I had coincidentally come up with the ideas of our respective fics independant of eachother and I don't think either really influenced the other (although FF1anon did read some other anons way back then talking about my fic and maybe(?) took some inspiration? But he had already written Biomon by then so personally doubt it.)
CC and Biomon have a few similarities; dragon protagonists with voices in their heads, a generally violent tone and horrific body horror. But they are ultimately quite different.
Biomon is a very well written one-shot of a miserable world told from the perspective of an incredibly bloody Pokemon tournament. It doesn't waste time, never let's go of the expertly crafted atmosphere and manages to feel complete in spite of its snapshot nature, (I personally consider it as a work of art the best of what I've read of him. Though I've yet to read PokeNormal and the Strongest.)
CC is quite simply a stream of thoughts which at itmes are simply unreadable, eventually there will be many perspectives of characters (outside of Vahnzimmig but also from the 'relevancy' of the plot). Sometimes time is wasted on pointless internal discussions, the tone can change from 'comfy' to pretty violent and tends to go on and on. (This is my very first fic so don't get your hopes up.)
I do consider that reading Biomon before CC is actually a pretty good segue into my schizofic. They're not the same, but got similar points.
And not to overload you, but do give Crystal Light some love too. (When you find the time that is, which unfortunately comes in scarce supply.)

Would Pokemon champion teams be widely recognized? If I have a champion attempting to vacation in another region while disguising themselves, would they need to use a different team? Would a disguised Red’s Pikachu be instantly recognizable? Would his Charizard be recognizable?

>>58816970
I'll have to check out Biomon, and yeah, I was definitely going to get to Crystal Light. I think it's the fic that's most "up my alley" so to speak (more conventional trainer/battle focused fic). A lot of my free leisure time is dedicated to PoPT, especially since I'm in a period with little to no writer's block. I think that'll change with me for the chapter after the one I'm currently working on.

By the nature of pokemon being species, unless its a unique mon in some way its doubtful that anybody would think twice about it unless they run into a super fan of theirs. I mean, if a guy has a Pikachu and Charizard on his team he's more likely to be considered inspired by it. Kind of like how a lot of rookie heroes in My Hero Academia base their supersonas on heroes from previous generations.
>>
>>58817484
I also imagine minute details of the mon’s physical appearance like a scar or discoloring would be difficult to pick up in a pitched battle recording, so you could say “really, I think my Charizard is more orange” or something.

I wonder if some Pokemon end up with inferiority complexes, specially so if they're battle Pokemon.
Like, imagine being a Gible who wants to become the strongest and knowing no matter what you'll never be able to reach Cynthia's Garchomp peak.
Or worse, being a Pichu or Pikachu. Even the anime makes a point to say that Ash's Pikachu is an absolute and total abnormality, and don't give me that crap about how "any Pokemon can be strong under anime logic" because each and one time such a thing happens a similar comment is made, so imagine being a rat inspired by Red's Pikachu and figuring out that you'll never reach such heights simply because you weren't a genetic freak. Inspiration becoming resentment and envy.
In that regard, I always wonder what Alder's current Volcarona feels like considering that, in a way, it is a "replacement" to Alder's original Volcarona.
Pikachu getting jealous of Riolu episode in shitneys is fucking retarded because of how off character it is but thinking about it I feel like such a thing could be quite common among people's teams. Knowing you're not the "ace", knowing you will never have a bond as close with your trainer just because you weren't their starter, or starters getting jealous of their other team members.
Team dynamics are a really underexplored topic imo.

>>58817785
That's why I try to have each mon on a team actively interact with each of the others and form their own unique relationship. The overleveled trade mon lords over everybody else on the team, trainer included, except for the support mon who is always backing them up in battle. The support mon is slightly traumatized from the super effective attack from the mon that fought them during the capture battle, and said mon starts to feel really guilty about it. The wild brawler mon and the slow and steady tank mon start to develop a kinship and learn from each other since they both fight on the front lines together. There's an endless amount of stuff like that to explore.

We all knew it was gonna continue, the killer was the how and the utter lack of communication and uncertainty until now.
The game pretty much said "this is a glorified post-game, don't think too hard about it" and with the current set-up basically being someone creating a fanfic for infinite adventures™, going back to reset whenever ESO does happen is very well still on the menu. Hopekeks shouldn't get too cocky but my gut tells me that after this ends the memories of everyone will remain this time.

so far I read the first three chapters of PokeNormal, it's a fun and interesting world and I'm going to keep reading it.
the thing about a crossover (since an anon mentioned it, not like it was planned or anything or that the author of PokeNormal would agree, but just thinking about if something like that theoretically happened) is the timelines don't really line up.
In Vermilion PD I tried to make the world adhere to the gen 1 games, including Pokemon Yellow (Officer Jenny exists) and tried to make it like it was taking place in that world as much as I could, but a little bigger than just the literal exact maps and layouts from the games when necessary (warehouse district in Vermilion, roads existing, etc, which you wouldn't see in the game. but more like being in that world so there's a bit more than just what you see on the maps in the 8-bit game boy game. instead of just "what you see in RBY is strictly what you get in the story." so they don't walk for a minute and they're all the way across Vermilion as I describe literally the exact map from the game and there's more to explore. so it's less like describing the game and more like being in it.)
and also taking place during the events of gen 1 like Red is on his Pokemon journey at the same time and the events in the story are things that could possibly be happening off screen/in the background in this world during that same time.

that's why the kid from Pallet Town is obviously implied to be Red and he makes little cameos/walks by/etc. things that could have been happening but invisible in the game if that makes sense, like there was more going on that wasn't shown in the game.
although Red (and even Blue and other characters) could possibly have larger roles in the story later on, I would make it things that might happen that don't affect the trajectory of the game, thinking about what happens when a player is actually playing a gen 1 game. so it wouldn't change the overall plot of the game, but scenes that could have possibly happened and not been shown or whatever.
so if Red interacts with Rookie and Jenny in a bigger way later on, it feels more like something that could have plausibly happened and just not have been focused on as part of the main storyline or effecting/changing the overall plot/events, as if the game wasn't showing everything.
basically the world of Pokemon gen 1 games but bigger and having more of it.
that's why there were kind of subtle decisions like Pokemon's genders never being revealed, just trying to hammer it in more that the story is trying to follow the rules of that game more because Pokemon genders didn't exist yet (besides nidoran.)
>>
>>58818226 (3/4)
there are a few other subtle hints to support that idea like Poke Balls not having a red light come out like the anime or anything like that. just to get it closer to the feeling of being in the world of specifically the gen 1 games, not the anime (even though Yellow does take things from the anime) or the game series in general, without making it so obvious and blatantly saying "This takes place in the world of Pokemon gen 1 games btw" in the story.
If Yellow is included he should have Pikachu as a starter, but the Pikachu he does have hangs out beside him like Yellow, and he has a Wartortle by the time he reached Vermilion which implies he chose Squirtle as a starter so he doesn't have to get one from Officer Jenny. so kind of like combining some of the logic of the gen 1 games together.
so in PokeNormal from what I read so far, although it does take place in Kanto like Vermilion PD, a lot of later stuff is mentioned like Poochyena, Komala, Alolan Raticate, Rotom phones, etc. I'm definitely not saying that's a bad thing, just if there were a crossover it would really break the rules I've been trying to follow for the world, especially with Poochyena being a main character.
It would definitely be interesting though with Jenny and Rookie who act like more serious characters linking with Tobio who is more goofy, and the police officers + detective roles fit together, it sounds like a fun dynamic/interaction. since PokeNormal does deal with paranormal and stuff like that, maybe Tobio could be sent back in time or something if I had to try to force it. but still, him being from a world that has more than RBY just existing kind of also breaks the "Mostly only everything in RBY" exists rule because in that world none of the later stuff even exists at all or is thought of as a possibility yet.
>>
>>58818228 (4/4)
plus I should probably flesh out the world and characters more in additional parts rather than a cross over after just one part or too early on. so even if something like that did happen, it would probably fit best after all of the events of the game are completed and more like a non-canon+bonus/post-game situation after the entire story is complete, so it wouldn't be something that would happen any time soon. but it is a fun idea and I'm glad I know about PokeNormal now and started reading it.
and sorry this explanation was like an entire chapter of a fic

PokeNormal anon here, sounds pretty cool and honestly shares a lot of philosophy I have with PN in general. I started PN as an exploration of how the essence of Gen 1 and its weird and mysterious world has been lost in the current generation of games. The things that are ignored because they don't make sense in the modern pokemon setting, like the shrine in the Celadon apartments that was removed in the US and later remakes. Or how ghost pokemon used to be unknown without a Silph Scope, how Erika was theorized to be a ghost type trainer based on her original sprite have a lot of spiritual theming that was removed. And it includes old pieces of the fandom that were once huge and are now little more than trivia like the PokeGods. So your exploration of the era that PN is calling back too does hold plenty of merit for a crossover.

Tell you what. If you want you have full permission to include Tobio as a kid in your fic sometime. He was a childish street punk unaffiliated with Team Rocket and a bit more clever than the average delinquent. He didn't have Poochyena until later in his adult life (gen 3 pokemon hadn't been 'discovered' in Kanto by then in my timeline) so he is running around without pokemon. Just keep the age vague, don't put him in jail for an extended period of time, and I'll give you free reign to do whatever you want with him. Don't be afraid about making mistakes, just go with whatever your gut tells you and It'll be cool to read. Of course don't feel obligated to, but if you ever feel like it you've got a blank check on the idea.
>>
>>58818609
wow based, awesome ideas and very well thought-out/intriguing attention to detail with the shrine and everything else. a crossover could actually fit in perfectly then. thanks a lot man for the info and blessing on it. I'll definitely have to have something like that at some point. already starting to think of some ideas actually.

Is it worth skimming women’s romance novels to learn how to write romance? Or am I insane for thinking I should do so?
>>
>>58819271
then you'll write it like a woman but if that's what you're going for then I guess it could help
>>
>>58819271
As someone who used to write them, a wider knowledge base is always good to draw from but keep in mind it shouldn't be your sole blueprint, it's only one of many ways to write romance.
>>
>>58819271
Are you saying battle shonen superficial romance knowledge isn't enough?
>>
>>58819322
All that’s gonna teach you is to flash forward past the entire romance to the part where they’re married with children in the finale.
>>

Read villainess isekai slop, you will find everything there
>Grooming
>Used goods
>Toxic romance

>Violent men that for some fucking reason are seen as "they care about me" while insulting the girl
>>
>>58819334
Modern shonen don't even do that anymore, see MHA
>>
>>58819384
Honestly in nearly all cases they should do even less than that. Shounen romance always feels tacked on and fans ship the characters without it anyway
>>
>Vermilion PD got a 'review'.
>"Your storytelling is super visual and engaging, and I could totally imagine it as a comic. I'm a commission artist and would love the chance to work on a comic adaptation if that's something you’d ever be interested in."

Lmao, how does that make you FEEL VPDanon?

So what are men’s romance novels like? Do they even exist?
>>
>>58819608
Those are just called novels.
>>
>>58819608
Men's romance is when they get a cheat power or they're secretly the STRONGEST after being labeled the WEAKEST and the woman (or an entire harem) fawns over the man and shuts the fuck up when not spoken to

As someone who has read villainess isekai slop I can tell you that SI-LVER is basically a Duke of the North™ but as a MC instead of the love interest

Don't worry when I find the time I'll post a review and try to give you my thoughts, just work gets in the way of thinking and articulating my thoughts well.
Just know, I loved the atmosphere, the tension mixed with the competency of Rookie and Jenny. Seriously an interesting and cool look at law enforcement in Pokémon.
>>
>>58820078
hell yeah thanks a lot! don't worry about writing a review if you're busy, I appreciate just that post a lot. but obviously if you want to post a review and say more I'd love to hear more about what you think. it actually makes me pretty happy just hearing you liked it and makes it feel like it was worth the time spent on it. but of course I am definitely interested in hearing people's thoughts on it but no pressure. and seriously thanks again just for taking the time to even read it.

I really shouldn’t chuckle at that but I will anyways.

>crossover with a game I've never played
That's a wall to climb but I'll put it on the list just for actually giving your Pokemon personalities and relationships.
>>
>>58820218
I've written it more as 'Fantasy Pokemon' than anything. Not being a fan of Final Fantasy also means you get to enjoy the 'snape kills dumbledore' level of well known plot twists without already knowing what they are.
>>
>>58820313
That's good to hear
I actually do know about the situation with Garland, thanks to a Nethack variant that has an FFI zone
>>
Now that I think about it, I haven't been in here long enough to know or see if it was asked beforehand, FF1 is Crystal Light going to use anything from Stranger of Paradise?
>>
>>58820333
Lufenians said they forgot all the bad shit they did and said sorry, then they were picked by Arceus to be the guardians of the world because evil people don't exist in Pokémon
>>
>>58820333
I haven't played Stranger of Paradise, and don't want to spoil it for myself, and wasn't around for memes when it was released. So no, not intentionally. It would be funny as hell if somebody said "I'm here to kill Mewtwo" but it would absolutely destroy any tension in the story.
>>
So when should a human get involved in a fight? Not official battles of course but real ones against grunts and such
>>
>>58820446
When it looks like regular theft? Probably no.
Their pokemon being stolen? I wouldn't consider them good trainers if the answer was anything but yes.
Person themselves being threatened, either directly or indirectly via the world being destroyed? They'd be a fool or a coward to not to at least try throwing their weight around.
>>
>>58820446
Never. The franchise is called Pokemon, not Kung Fu Action Humans.

>Kung Fu Action Human immediately shoved to the background by a Pokemon battle
I accept your concession
My serious opinion on this is that I don't mind if your trainer can throw down a little but if you want them to be the cooleriest and toughest you gotta turn them into a Pokemon.

Would Unova recognize it as a new species or continue to mispecies it as a Honedge?
Would the Gunshoot be able to breed or is its womb barren?
