Chapter 19 of Spice and Fox is out. Next one on the 15th. Now I sleep.https://archiveofourown.org/works/21307454/chapters/207657051
>>58984211Anything with Dead Rhydon in it?
>>58984242My GOAT isn't washed
>>58984258I think I've seen you around for years now, what made you dislike Rhydon so much? I'll add a Dead Rhydon to mine in your honor.
>>58984211>TQFor Ian in PoPT, it was a bit of a weird process. I needed him to be able to ride something and I wanted something that could use Grass moves that wasn’t Gengar (cuz Gengar’s too strong desu). The Bulu blessing idea came not long after and it really helped the whole story grow (pun slightly intended). The Fire Type was originally gonna be a Magmortar but it just didn’t fit right with what I was doing. Pyroar ended up taking the spot after the title came in (gives the right regal flare). Although Pyroar will get replaced eventually I seriously needed Blastoise for “The Plunge” chapter, everything else came after. Also gave “rival” vibes to Ian that I wanted even though the Squirtle line is fucking based.Tyrunt was legitimately too fun to brainstorm, and once I got the whole Alpha thing down I started having too much fun with it. Alolan Sandshrew/Sandslash was just a placeholder for half the story but now it’s a permanent staple cuz it’s just too much fun to write battles of. Morgrem is probably what I got the biggest plans for long term and could be my most controversial choice all things considered.
>>58984242'preciate the steady updates. Can't keep the spicy fox on lockdown for too long with no progress, it's bad for the heart.>>58984855Snarly boy is a good fit. I think I'll remember that short scene of Impidimp tag more vividly than anything else in the work. Besides the humiliation rituals, of course
how do you feel about different versions of the same character meeting each other? like dimensional counterparts
Whichever one of you fucks made the joke about war with Iran last thread is a fucking legend.Pretty funny Trump waited until Pokémon Day was over.
>>58981954>>58982091nah, it's that people literally like when they finishing reading, so if you have back to back chapters the last chapter is going to have the most likes and then go back and like previous chapters if you're lucky. See https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/the-celestial-mech-touch.1278977/ where the first seven chapters were posted in bulk and each chapter has more likes than the last.
>>58985397I don't really get SBs taste in fics.It's an odd place there but at least their honest about loving protagonist wank Isekaijin OCs.
>>58985050Nothing ever happens >>58985888>but at least their honest about loving protagonist wank Isekaijin OCs.Yep, they like to pretend it's a real self-insert story when writing one but they just use OCs
>ded thread more than yesterday draft or iranian?
>>58984242ntr not proceeding smoothly. Hopefully Soren cucks will.>>58986604I forgot to press the post button because I just got up.
>>58986604Most of the threads died off due to direct discussions.
Gonna shill the next major draft of my WiP. https://rentry.org/Mahogany16Aged up the characters this draft due to a friend suggesting it to me an Anon suggesting Clair lewds. No lewd content yet, unfortunately.
So what's this thread's opinion on this? >>58985404
>>58986750I think he means that this thread is slower than it was yesterday.>>58984211Sneasel because I like Sneasel and the MC having a Sneasel was originally a core concept of a fic alongside pokemon ecology and genetics. While the other Pokemon I've thought of giving the MC are a combination of ones that'd cause conflict or are also related to pokemon science.Clair has a Growlithe because I wanted to give her a pokemon that seemed reasonable for a rich girl to have, but isn't hampered by having a weak first stage like Horsea and can be evolved easily. She also has an Arcanine in Stadium an Ampharaos and a bunch of other pokemon. Ampharos will probably appear later.
Rayquaza is so pathetic lmao, kinda hard to see it as this super boss now, foxfucker will just beat it down then rape it now
>>58984211>What made you choose those 'mons to appear in your fic?When I was making Kuzey I wanted a partner for him that would fill a little brother role, who could contrast his more timid personality and be all the ego and bluster of the pair. And since I was setting as being from Paldea, out of all the new Pokemon there Charcadet felt like the best fit for that. It also helps being a more vaguely humanoid Pokemon that can emote, communicate, and act in roughly the same manners as Kuzey, so they can roughhouse and mirror movements with one another and it feels closer to siblings than, like, a pet.His other Pokemon, though most aren't revealed yet, were also to highlight other aspects of his personality. Phylla the Bulbasaur is a bit of a spoiled child, and is there to showcase his ability as a caretaker of Pokemon.Herri and Mia had a lot of thought put into theirs too but I basically can't comment on anything about them without it being a massive spoiler, excluding Yayamaskaa, who is 100% a thing because I imagined Herri posing with a Runerigus and it looked really cool.
>>58986774Needs better formatting
>>58983606As in fusion without being crossovers? Maybe like this?https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/88914/the-redwood-saga-pokemon-fanfictionxianxiaprogression
>>58987180No thanks, I'm not reading that. I was looking for a more original setting.
>>58987229>more original setting.Nigga a cultivation fusion is original but going by your post I guess you mean "realistic" in our world and iirc there was a story like that in spacebattles, can't remember the name thond forget it, I think I found ithttps://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/pokemon-apocalypse-pokemon-our-world.1101381/
>>58987312There's also Game of Champions, although that's a 50/50 on wether you'll bounce off of it or declare it the best thing ever.
>>58987312I will not read anything with "cultivation" in the title, and the description for that piece is not particularly heartening. I found the Pokeapocalypse rather good and quite punchy but Game of Champions to be very overblown. I guess what I'm looking for is something I'll have to make on my own.
>>58987584I thought Spice and Fox I'm assuming you're spicefag since you updated at the same time there was bitching about not being able to update last thread to be pretty much you're version of that already with the gritter world and custom region. On that note wasn't a Canada/Russian region mentioned last thread.A northern setting could be cool, or something like the western front.
>>58987001Why do people think the anime is the absolute Pokemon canon? Nothing stops you from making Fug stronger than Arceus in your fic
>>58987594Huh, I'll go check that out then. I guess I should have asked "custom region" instead. New and unexplored territory is exciting. Thanks, man.
>>58987826The new season takes place in the games universe after SV plot, or at least that's what the fuckers in /padt/ were spamming
>>58987826Powerscaling is fanfic with textual evidence, so stuff with extremely loose canon like Pokemon tends to mess with their heads
>>58987826This leads into a question of mine actually, something I was told when I was younger writing fanfic, and got brought up now writing my current stuff, is people have said I have a tendency to write official characters "as if they're still in their show."I have a little trouble explaining it because I'm not sure I understand what they're saying myself, but to summarize the thought seems to be even though I'm writing the characters in more serious and mature situations I still write them with the same spirit, or whimsy I guess, as if they were the actual characters from the source material placed in new scenarios.And what confuses me is, is that not what everyone does? I know reinterpretations are fun of course, but to me the fun of an official character appearing in a fanfic is to see how this familiar character would behave in an unfamiliar situation. You'd want it to be ABOUT these characters you grew up with and love, and not a different person with the same name, right?
>>58988051Ah, the classic In-Name-Only right? Yeah, I got tired of seeing people complaining about that shit in fanfics, like it's a fucking fanfic with a different story so of course the character will be a bit different and shouldn't be a problem as long as you can it's still them
>>58988092*You can tell I fucked up
>>58984211>TQIdk, that shits always been revealed to me in dreams. Sometimes meaning can be found, sometimes not.
>>58984211>What made you choose those 'mons to appear in your fic?If I like them, mostly. And if they fit for the region.
>>58984211>What made you choose those 'mons to appear in your fic?It's funny that you ask this question with that OP pic. I'm actually planning on having a blacephalon appear soon who fights a gliscor in a city with some super-heroics happening.
>>58984211Cause I like them, or they have abilities that fit with what I need. For background/one-off mons I'll just randomize them.
>>58988435What fic, and Will the other UBs make an appearance? I love these guys honestly.
>>58988560I haven't shared it yet. I'm over 60K words into it already, but I'm only just getting to the point in the story where I planned to introduce these two.I'm not sure if I'll use the other UBs, it depends on how far I take the Team Doom idea and if I feel any of them fit with the supervillain motif.
I remember reading years ago a possible Kingdom Hearts crossover with Colress turning Shadow Pokémon into heartless and the reason why the world fell, don't remember where but it sounded kino.Any interesting idea you guys had read in the past and want to share?
>>58988833Yeah, As someone who has a dislike of shallow and poorly written Isekai/SI stories in the Pokemon world, the idea of a Pokemon Isekai story but done in a Konosuba style teases me when I'm having writer's block with my current WIP. Here are some of the ideas I've toyed around with:>The protagonist has meta-knowledge, but whenever it comes to actual locations from the games and where valuable items were, they're not there. Maybe even there's a trap instead.>The MC's traveling partner would be a very proud, very overconfident former gym leader (Clair seems hard-coded for this, not just because she has Aqua-adjacent hair and doesn't wear panties, but because her hubris would clash well with an arrogant meta-knowledge MC).>MC would have a really strong, really fearsome Pokemon like an Incinieroar, but it's as obedient as Ash's Charizard in the early seasons of the show.>MC would catch a Dreepy or a Gible, thinking he'll have a badass pseudo-legend at some point, but it just never evolves.-MC gets a Gardevoir that's madly in love with him but he's not into that (to put it lightly). It cockblocks him when he hits it off with other female characters.>The Rival that hates him from the get go somehow gets forced into being in the MC's party and the ongoing circus of BS drags the Rival's reputation down with the rest of them.>MC gets a Legendary/Mythical, but it's mostly useless (but cute, like Meloetta or maybe Victini but its power only works on usefless things)Some of these are starting to overlap a bit. I was just spitballing ideas in between writing for my WIP. Does anyone else have any gags that fit the tone of this parody of a Pokemon Isekai?
>>58988896 Konosuba is trash tho
>>58988833Grail war with pokemon historic figures has been on my mind.One of the master servant duos being Volo and heroic spirit Akari.PokeSpe White using the light stone as a catalyst to summon one of the twin heroes.
>>58988945Pokemonspe is trash tho
It's fanfic time
>>58988972>>58988833Yeah, that once fanfic about Arceus being the Demiurge and Regigigas killing it so he can end all life and death.
>>58988954It's to give White a reason to show up so she can wish Black out.
>>58989015Is White's ass that tempting you have to include her in the story?
>>58988985He doesn't want to destroy the world, but to get revenge because Aus killed his brothers from the other types (the giants). That's what the fanfic is about.
>>58989025As someone who also has White's ass in their story for very little reason, I get it.
>>58988896the mascot/pet could be a Rotom stuck in a Pokedex for whatever reason making it obsolete because everyone uses smartphones, also he's fucking annoying and everyone on the team hates him
>>58989025No but I kinda want to do a Hilbert/Hilda story. Even though Hilbert is a shit name.
>>58989127>THAT'S NOT MY NAME MOM I GO BY "BLACK" NOW
>>58989025If I was writing with my penis, I'd have Francesca show up as well....>I might consider that.
>>58989155Sometimes a man penis guides him towards wise decisions, sometimes it guides him to unwise ones. Either way, follow your heart anon. Follow your heart and write the sloppyist isekaijin cultivation story where the mc impregnates every single pokegirl.
>>58989155>>58989253Gachafag here, I only pull when the character gets me hard or is cute
How does one stop writing with their penis? >just jerk offI'm trying to take a break from that
>>58989417Identify your fetishes and stop writing them.
>>58989417That's the thing, you don't.
>>58989417You just gotta be subtle, ask our NTRfag
>>58988896From the thread this was taken from there was an idea to have a Voltorb following the MC around and when he thinks there’s a Poke Ball with a valuable item in it, but it’s actually the Voltorb and it blows up. Of course one time an NPC sees a Poke Ball, the MC warns them it’s a Voltorb… And of course it isn’t.
>>58989417Stay not jerking off till you get by 'withdrawals' and see how you feel then. Or post your fetish ideas in this thread and we'll critique them. Try writing fetish scenes down to get them out there so you can see later on if they were good enough or just horny thoughts.
>>58989140Why didn’t they stick with Blake and Whitlea
>>58989936PokéSpe did tho
Redeemed Lyssandre shit aside would Kalos Court of Owls work?>Rich people that hate poorfags and want to control everything >Way to make immortal soldiers And that's it, I'm not very creative haha
>>58989602I liked the idea someone else mentioned in an earlier thread of Cynthia taking Dawn to her first nude photoshoot. Although more as Cynthia, being a member of (my) harem using the opportunity to induct Dawn into the harem.The idea of a man being included into a previously lesbian relationship, where they nor prioritize and fall in love primarily with him is also hot. Although I don't know which two Sinnoh girls I'd choose in that situation, maybe Gardenea and Fatina? The DPP Mom could also be hot but I can't really see Maylene as bisexual in denial who thinks she's a lesbian.
>>58989253My heart only has room for one girl at a time. It also yearns to put any other love interests through the most brutal heartbreak ever.
>>58984211For Crystal Light:-Blastoise = Fighter-Hitmonchan = Black Belt-Chansey = White Mage-Vileplume = Black Mage-Wol, Garland, and Sarah are this world's Blue, Red, and Green so they each get one of the Kanto starters. Jane gets Pikachu for Yellow to complete the gen 1 starters.The wild mons they encounter are based on the actual random encounters of the area they are currently in from FF1. The Impidimps were Goblins, the Rapidash was a Crazy Horse, the Marowaks are Skeletons, the Onix is a Giant Worm, etc...Each of Astos's pokemon correlates somehow to his story, and several are from the Hoenn region because Elfland's pokemon population is mostly Hoenn pokemon. Most are also dark types since he is a dark elf. Absol being his ace is foreshadowing disaster, Spiritomb represents the loss of his people, and Hypno is the odd one out of his team because he specializes in sleep curses.For PokeNormal-Poochyena and Raticate both represent their trainers in classic pokemon style. As for the other pokemon, wouldn't you like to know, weatherboy?
>>58989602An idea I got from reading Hyphen wanted me to see something with self aware pokemon that has a negative opinion of humans being brainwashed or indoctrinated using friendship raising items like the Friendship or Luxury ball creating an environment inside that indoctrinates the pokemon. The sound of a soothe bell alters their mental state, vitamins, rare candies or other drugs to increase their compliance. Pokemon 'salons' which are actually brainwashing parlors. Pokemon not being able to control their positive reaction to certain stimuli like flavors of berries or smells and being conditioned to like their trainer. Super training made to increase compliance in unruly pokemon. Add onto that some intelligence drain.They can't be animal-like pokemon, part of the fetish here is the pokemon in question, maybe Astra from Hyphen, being comparable to humans but not being able to overcome the circumstances of their birth as a pokemon. If they have a pokemon village like from Hyphen, they're 100% betraying it.
>>58987826I just beat Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team for the first time yesterday and Fug is the last boss of the final main story dungeon. He canonically gets some sense slapped into him by two unevolved pokemon +whatever other pokemon you happen to have with you at the time which for me was two tropius I randomly recruited on the way up to fight him.
>>58990028Redeemed Lysandre assassinating rich people
>>58990214Based, pokemon were made to be obedient mindbroken cocksleeves for humanity and never our equals
>>58990156FF1Anon, you should tag Hatsume Miku on Pokenormal since you tagged the other creepypasta characters.It's also a great way to make a perspective reader do a double take.
>>58987312I think Crystal Light fits your original description. It's the world of Final Fantasy 1, which is pretty much just legally distinct classic Dungeons and Dragons, but with pokemon instead of monsters. So you got sword and board knights, damsels in distress, potion merchants, hedge witches, dark wizards, and ancient evils all tightly incorporated with living alongside pokemon. I take care in making sure that the pokemon are integrated into the setting and not just slapped into the story for the sake of it.
>>58988896>doesn't wear pantiesI have willed this into existense
>>58989417Overpower it with autism. I wrote smut for about 2 decades off and on until it occurred to me that two of my favorite series actually fit together pretty well and I challenged myself to try and make a non-lewd story to prove to myself I could. It hasn't always been easy keeping the two separated.
>>58990314I said it more as a joke here, personally I prefer nopan girls to also wear skirts. That way there's more of a vouyerism and exhibitionism angleBesides Clair's bodysuit is sexy enough and I don't see her as an exhibitionist type, although I do think she'd get flustered extremely easily and is prone to jealousy. Although I can't think of what fetishes she'd have. Do you have any ideas?
>>58990380Choking and asphyxiation
>>58990380A girl that proud makes me think she either has a praise kink, or an embarrassment kink.But of course I have to throw in my actual fetishes as possibilities which means she should totally be into pregnancy and vore.
>>58990420Getting vored or pregnant can be embarrassing. "You'll make such a good mom" is praise.
>>58990404I can see that, especially since her ace is a water type and she uses paraflinch strats. Maybe she'd be into electrocution as well.>>58990420With what the above user said, it has to be embarrassment. I can just imagine Clair getting embarrassed and turned on when someone defeats her in a battle, when she tries to flirt he only depends her embarrassment further. She tries to act ice-cold but she actually melts like jelly in your hand.
So, I know we got another sea region but does anyone here know the country its based on? I read malasya somewhere
>>58988684>60K wordsWow, and I thought my 15K was a bit much. Just joking but it's humbling to hear.
>>58990713I'm actually just past 70K words now.I feel like I'm not even close to where I want this to end at.
>>58990805I understand that, for me, I want to get to a comfortable place before posting since I'm also working on other stuff. Once I can find that place I feel like I could post and then be able to put my WIP down for a while to focus on other projects.
>>58990843Yeah, every other week or so I go back to read through what I've written to make adjustments and corrections, or just embellishments.There's an increasing number of characters to keep track of even if I'm rotating them in and out of the story.
