A thread for the creation and discussion of fan fiction and other fanworks - anything that involves a story and/or reading. What've you been reading? What've you been writing? What would you like to see more of?>Thread question:Your fic is being axed, complete the current arc as soon as possible and you have three chapters of (your) average word length to wrap everything up. What's happening?>Previous thread:>>59063518
Asked this on the previous thread, but...Pokemon shrink through their own biology and Pokeballs take advantage of this instinct. This shrinking extends not just to every bit of flesh and bone, but also stuff like say, Tinkaton's hammer, Dhelmise's anchor, Farfetch'd's leak, all that. I guess we can assume that the many Held Items apply too.So, how does this work, when they're not part of the Pokemon? Do you think it's possible via similar mechanisms or instinct to shrink items seperately from the Pokemon wielding them? Like maybe Tinkaton stores its shrunken hammer in its hair but can take it out and expand it? Since the shrinking comes from the Pokemon and not the ball, clearly it is the Pokemon's biology or capability that allows the tool or armament to change size as well.
>>59077023shrinkfags at it again, energychads make way more sense
>>59077023I just don't think about it, there's no real reason to question a conceit of the setting like that when I'm not interested in exploring it.How pokeballs work is probably the least interesting part of pokemon to me.
>>59077053This. Just be generic in recalling/sending out a pokemon. People here can be autistic about it but surely fanfic readers won’t be.
>>59076969>TQWell uh, oddly enough I just finished an arc in PoPT, so :Phttps://archiveofourown.org/works/66210784/chapters/214436736
>>59077023Even if the shrinking is canon so is the matter to energy thanks to the PC, it's a mess and personally I would just ignore them shrink because then Marowak dying wouldn't make sense, she would have shrinked along with her kid to escape
>>59076454>ghost gem bulletsMundane, uninspired, removes pokemon involvement in the situation >bullets possessed by ghost pokemonRadical, cool as hell, keeps pokemon pokemon
>>59077079That's just Slugterra
>>59077079Crossbows with stakes made from Trevenant wood
>>59077023The unsatisfying answer is to do what makes sense for what you want to write. Internal consistency matters much more than matching a nebulous canon. Although if Pokemon do have the ability to shrink other things down for convenience the question becomes why aren't they doing that all the time?
>>59076969Well Mahogany only has three chapters but if I rush things and replace the climax with something else I could pretty comfortably have Clair and Rhys outside of the Ice Path by chapter 6. Which would be the stopping point, although a lot of the set up for the stuff immediately after they leave would go to waste.>>59077086Man, I loved that show when I was a kid. It and Max Steel, there really are some gems. I think I only saw the first and maybe second season.
>>59076969>TQ: Spoil your ficsBut avoiding real spoilers I'd probably kill Tobio in a heroic sacrific, leaving Josalyn saved from the things haunting her with no memory of him or why this Poochyena is following her around.As fo Wol and gang, I'd straight up time skip to the final chapters.
>>59077086I was thinking of the bullets from Who Framed Roger Rabbithttps://youtu.be/D6bZOMHSOtc?si=F7n22UJpv9RfhaG_
Hmmm... the Remoraid attached to Mantine, what advantage would you say it brings to Mantine in battle? As in, in terms of moves and the like.
>>59077216Maybe it serves as a spotter? Like it helps with aiming attacks by shouting out the enemy's location in Mantine's blind spots in the same way a submarine crew has to aim a torpedo.
>>59077216for barrage attacks
>>59077216From a quick look it seems that it might be the reason Mantine can use Bullet Seed and possibly by extension Seed Bomb i.e. the Bullet Seed comes from the Remoraid. I have to wonder what other moves come from the Remoraid.
>>59076969>TQWrite two chapters as they should be, then copypaste on the third chapter all my notes and a disclaimer. That's my plan B for if i'm ever forced to abandon my fic (get cancer, doxed, sudden conscription, bored of the fic, etc...) because i'd take like 10 minutes and no effort.Readers can piece everything together and if there's a big fan of it they can take over and continue.Doesn't cover sudden death but realistically nothing short of writing it in a will for family does.
>>59077216Turrets for extra automatic firepower
I want to have a genuine, proper and serious discussion about the Type Chart, it's mechanics, why advantages/disadvantages are as they are and last but certainly not least More specifically, about how Types are categorized and discovered.Sure, we all know the Fairy Type gets discovered by MC-kun, and how silly and dumb it looks and sounds in hindsight, and it was retconned as well, but it was something that undoubtedly happened once. Is there a good way to make it make sense? Understandable? Logical?Dark and Steel were discovered once back then too. It's just easy to forget because for how long things have been.All Types and the entire Type Chart had to have been discovered at some point too. The entire relationship. If you think about it, it would be pretty easy for someone without the knowledge as is to confuse and mix-up Ground and Rock. For example.And then there's things like how the Type Chart has changed. Why is Ice suddenly not neutral towards Fire anymore? Why Steel doesn't resist Ghost and Dark anymore? There has to be something more beyond X type ouchies and Y type doesn't ouchie and Z type ouchies a lot more than X.
>>59077549The funny thing is, my fic doesn't have the MC discovering Fairy-types, but the origin of the type in ancient lore is a crucial part of the story. I wrote a whole myth surrounding it.
>>59077549My MC goes a step further and makes the world believe sound type is an actual thing
Serious question, what is the biggest turn-offs for you anons when it comes to reading a fic?Like, what practically makes you drop it entirely? Could be anything. I want to know what mistakes I should avoid.
>>59077584if the writing format sucks, like paragraphs are too long or dialogue being indiscernible from the narration
>>59077549If I were to make up an answer on the spot its that all the types have always existed, but their intensity within different regions has grew and shrank throughout history. So for gen 1 games the intensity of steel, dark, and fairy type was so low in those regions that they didn't seem to even exist. This caused a sort of temporary 'regional variant' effect to apply to pokemon like Magnemite and Clefairy where their type changed without massive phenotype divergence. Then for some reason (magnetism shifts, plate tectonics, Arceus farted) steel and dark type intensity rose to such a point that pokemon and moves were scientifically measurable by gen 2. So its possible that fairy type existed in Hisui because it's intensity was high at the time before later waning into seeming nonexistence in Sinnoh.
>>59077584Avoid NTR at all costs.
>>59077584I don't read a lot of fics and have never been 'turned off' so to speak aside from one time when I was reading a fic and realized after the first few paragraphs that it was AI.
>>59077584NTR and unironic misandry.Condescension.When an author tries to "fix" the setting that they're writing for, while constantly saying shit like "I love (insert name of series here) soooooo much it's my blorbo."Injected real life politics.Bad grammar, stilted writing.
>>59077584LGBTQ-isms and general assorted trannyfaggotry. It's about the how, rather than them being so.No, I don't mind yaoi, no I don't mind yuri, I'm a yurinigger myself. But unless it's an all-male/female-cast everyone suddenly being gay or a tranny is a redflag. Any pronounshit for that matter too. In that same vein, on the reverse side, haremshit, everyone woman sucking up totally not-selfinsert-kun dick just for existing.And on both of those, romantic plot tumors.Meme politics. The kind you know are added for fake complexity, to be an annoyance and further impede the plot, the MC, and drag things on and on on.Edge for the sake of edge. Doubly so if the tone is inconsistent and it's only edgy and dark and "realistic" at convenience.Touch the Skies is a prime example of practically all these things.For Pokemon specific related things? Redwank, Galarwank, Leonwank, Ash self-insertisms, legendaries are jobbers, Clair bashing.
>>59077584If a fic reads like AI wrote it I'm dropping it and not giving the benefit of the doubt. For example repeated "it's not just x- it's y" phrases will make me drop a fic almost immediately. Either the writer is ass, or it was done by a bot. I've got better things to do than read slop.In terms of content, character bashing and IRL political lecturing are things I don't want to read in a fanfic. Bashing is less of a problem these days so I probably don't need to say this, but if you really don't like a character it's easier and cleaner to just write them out of the story rather than treat them like a whipping boy.
>>59077584This is going to sound pretentious, but it's the only thing I can solidly name. Characters acting stupid but in a way that doesn't make sense.I mentioned this threads ago, but early on in Boldores and Boomsticks I ended up dropping it because Gary has some overconfident and stupid reasoning that I don't think was justified in universe.He thinks the Grimm are Zoroark so goes to Alola to catch a Zoroark. It's very silly since if he really wanted a Zoroark he could just go to Unova, in universe nothing up to that point seemed unbelievable about Grimm from the perspective of a pokemon universe human. Even if they're wrong it makes way more sense for them to think the Grimm are a type of pokemon and want to catch them.Gary being overconfident and interested in catching a Grimm makes more sense from an in universe perspective even if it's wrong. While instead the author has Gary engage in a convoluted line of reasoning that's stupid even by his standards.
>>59077584>>59077605This plus a vague sense of childishness in the prose
>>59077584Therapyspeak.
>>59077817>Ash self-insertismsSo what's the difference between that and say, Silver, Brock or any other self-insert story with a canon character?
>>59077908Nta, but I just hate Ash
>>59077863And anime characters. No clue why game characters don’t bother me but Ash does.
>>59076969>TQVahnzimmig would make a similar sacrifice as Ted from I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. The voices would be allowed to move on, while the dragon would contnue to live life in madness forever.The text of course would be completely schizobabble.
>>59076969End it with>Our fight is only just beginning
>>59077549>Fairy Type gets discovered ... Is there a good way to make it make sense?Pokemon typings and interactions are something you can observe with the naked senses and test without fancy tools. The only way to make it make sense is to make it a new type that only began to exist very recently, otherwise there's practically no justification for why someone else hasn't discovered it first and definitely no justification for why wild pokemon haven't always known about it.>Why is Ice suddenly not neutral towards Fire anymore? Why Steel doesn't resist Ghost and Dark anymore? There has to be something more beyond X type ouchiesThose are fundamental mechanics of reality being altered, there's no explaining it short of saying the in-universe Gamefreak employees decided to change reality's code or something equally absurd occurring.
>>59077605Basically this. Most of the time, people tag their shit correctly and that makes certain fics easy to ignore. But if the synopsis or tags are interesting and I'm instantly met with a massive block of text with no separation or, God forbid, script writing, I'm instantly dropping it.Just hit enter every now and then. Or fucking send it through chat gpt or grammarly and ask it to leave everything untouched except for formatting it into a readable state. We have the technology.
>The top fic in my fandom, overtaking every fic by 3x the amount of kudos, has spelling and grammar mistakes in every chapter.> It also uses nothing but closed quotation marks. >Every single piece of dialogue has two closed quotation marks.Wait, isn't that how dialogue is supposed to be written like?I'm not crazy, right?
>>59078595You mean these?>"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet."Then yes. To my knowledge, some countries do:>,,Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet."And they are wrong for doing so when writing in English.
I instinctively used 'Arceus' in place of god for flavour purposes, and I have not bothered replacing it... official material (the Detective Pikachu Movie) does use it...
>>59078735I hate you
>>59078595Well, these are the ones I'm more familiar with >"The first, like this."And >—in some cases like this.It depends on the country iirc.
>>59078735>official material (the Detective Pikachu Movie) does use it...Wasn't Arceus supposed to be a myth with very few people knowing about it?
>>59078755They tend to ditch that for Mythicals some generations after. Mew, Deoxys, Darkrai...
>>59078755Easy to just handwave and say that specific continuity has Arceus-ism as the dominant religion
>>59078762The Detective Pikachu movie is weird, I think Red appeared in a scene but at the same time MewTwo's backstory was implied to be the anime one
>>59078735>people say "oh my Arceus!" etc>but they don't know what pokemon that statue in that one sinnoh town is based on>and they don't know what the Adamant/Lustrous orbs are for>and Cyrus doesn't know about Giratina or Arceus existing and being able to foil his plans>and despite not knowing all these things, the events of Hisui are documented and the clans are still around>the MC is the one to discover and explain all of these thingsGo to distortion
>>59078793>Chien-paoWhen is Celot impregnating her again?
>>59078809>impregnating herNever, my gaydar went off the second his cowboy boots and red leather pants were mentioned. That is a mankissing man if a man ever kissed men.
>>59078817Impregnating him then?
>>59078837Now you're thinking with portals.
>>59078759Would it be too farfetched to say that the names we know by some pokemon are the true names and that the Pokemon world knows them by some other name? Darkrai being a sleep paralysis demon would definitely leave traces in folklore and could end up being called like a naaldlooshii or a maere
Okay, unserious question now, what is the biggest BETRAY you anons have had when it comes to reading a thread fic? Like, what made you drop it entirely? Could be anything. I want to know what mistakes I should avoid.
>>59079109I mean, it IS humans who grant Pokemon names. But yes, this does exist in canon i.e. Alolan Vulpix & Alolan Raichu.
>>59079112can't think of one from the threadbut there was this one godawful fic where the main character got shown up by a speshul OC side character that showed up near the end and no diffed the BBEG while the main character coweredthe end.
>>59079112when they stop writing
>>59079163Threadbros wouldn't do that, would they?
>>59079172There was an anon who deleted their fic because the readership was low, I'm still mad about it
>>59079415Cowardly dog.
>Commenter gives scathing feedback when things don’t go as they want/expect>Not all of it’s fair but I guess that’s subjective>Have engaged reasonably, thanked for feedback, basically just tried to kill with kindness>Commenter completely mum on any glimmer of praise since they appear deeply investedTfw seriously debating blocking this person from posting on my shit.
>>59079477Should also mention this has happened multiple times.
>>59079477I'd be careful blocking someone who's that engaged, the overinvested might overreact and launch a crusade like certain lulcows do. Best to just ignore them.
>>59079415completely delete, or replace?
>>59079577completely, you can't find it in ao3 anymore
Are (You) going to learn about SEA lore and history in time for the new Pokémon games?
>>59079771only the first five regions exist on my fic
>>59079771Yeah I live there. Not Indognesia specifically but you know. Also I didn't really have to learn about Burgertopia to learn about Unova or Alola, France to learn about Kalos, Espanol to learn about Paldea or Japan to learn about the first four regions and Kitakami.
>>59079771That'd be such a waste of time lol, there's no way Gamefreak will make the lore match real life stuff to a major degree.
>>59079112I'm usually good at skipping fics i don't like, but there's one that read like a romance fic, but then after sex the girl was all like>oh, i thought i loved you, but i just discovered i only wanted to have sex and not be bound to another person or some shit, gbye see you next time i wanna fuckBasically modern woman out of nowhere. Fucking bitch, i'm expecially mad about it because the sex scene was hot.
>>59079415Mfw I plan on having the end of my fic be reality being destroyed and plan to delete everything except the final chapter when I post it.
>>59079771Since it's Ohmori we're talking about we just need to look at family drama in myths of that place or think about, I don't know, NEGLECTED Ohmori like some Naruto fanfic
>>59080011Surely you don't intend to actually do thisSurely you're just going to ask your readers to pretend all the previous chapters are gone
>>59080149
>>59079783That's every Region since Kalos. Arguably Unova.That's why I desperately hoped, wanted, begged, for Gen 10 to be a return to Japan since it would be the perfect time to do so with 10 being a nice round number and 30th anniversary being such a huge milestone and all. I'm so fucking sick and done with tourist caricature regions. Europe has brought nothing but pain and misfortune to this franchise. Not even having Turner, an actual britbong, helped, and you could even argue Galar is one if not the worst one in this regard.It's honestly impressive in a way. It's just so bad you cannot help but think that they go out of their way to make tourist caricatures on purpose just from how bad it is.
>>59080335Unova has nothing to do with the United States aside from Castelia city looking like downtown Manhattan and New Tork City being in the Genesect movie. Unova's lore is just bare bones, almost Souls-like but at least Fromsoftware pretends like there's more than two events that happened throughout the course of the entire regions history.
I don't care about Pokémon worldbuilding because it's trash, if you're writing a story then try to make something different even if you use the little bits they give us because let's be honest. They never put any real effort and shit is getting messy with Masuda's old view and Ohmori's current obssession with dindu noffing humans and drama instead of how Pokémon work in the world and how they affected everything
>>59080384>tfw don't care about canon worldbuilding while reading but do care about it while writingkill me
>>59080384They unironically used to put effort into it.On the Teraleak one document that stood out to me was how they went to fucking Venezuela just to go take a look at the Salto Angel, the world biggest waterfall. And for what? To make the waterfall that was on site on the Sinnoh League. Just for that.You really think nu-Pokemon tourist caricature would go to such an out of the way place for inspiration rather than stick to basic bitch tourist most popular places itineraries?Everyone knows Pokemon worldbuilding is less than stellar but if nothing else Pokemon used to be excellent at "vibes" and those "vibes", at least in terms of fanworks and fafiction since that's the topic of this thread, is what made people want to see more of them and expand upon them.It's not even just the games either. Compare the "vibes" of the DP season compared to those of Journeys. Compare the vibes of the Entei movie with those of the Hoopa movie. It's like heaven and earth.It doesn't have to be Tolkien-tier but modern Pokemon can't even provide interesting enough set-pieces to activate the imagination almonds anymore. That's the problem.
Someone years ago was working on a comic that was based around rocket. They posted it on tumblr. Does anyone know what I am talking about? That was one of the best fanficx I have seen
>>59077071Has Ian given Hyde his load yet?
>>59079936Just read the question again, i was talking about a non thread fic
>>59080641Get used to disappointment.
>>59080546Something definitely changed starting from Unova. The Victini movie had that big ass sword shaped castle and the Kyurem movie had... I don't even remember. Genesect is just NYC.
>>59081249Genesect movie has Feraligatr getting blaze kick’d for some reason
>>59081249It's a shame since I think there could have been something done with New York, or even america in general. Like how did Gamefreak not make a cryptid mon for Unova. Although Zoroark comes close to that.
>>59081249They left Japan. Simple as.We all know Masuda busted his ass with Unova. To the point he's buckbroken about its reception to this day, but no matter how much effort he put into it, at the end of the day, Masuda's not a Ameriboo. Unless you are a MASSIVE cultureboo, to the point you know the place even better than the locals, the people born there, you will never be able to make something with genuine true heart and soul because you aren't creating from something you know and have experienced for years and years and years and years and years.And by the time of Turner, who should fit that qualification, Ohmori was at the reins, and we all know Ohmori is the biggest hack possible. There's also the possibility that Turner, too, was a hack.In short, Pokemon left Japan, Became "Global" and stopped being a Japanese things made by Japanese for Japanese that baka gaijins could also enjoy and enjoyed specially so because it was Japanese. And so it lost its soul.
Do we know anything about astrology, zodiac signs and such?
>>59081503Ask IMOanon.
>>59081503>The Pokémon zodiac makes an appearance in the TV Show "Personality Assessment and Horoscope". Each episode features one of the Pokémon in the zodiac, and explains their current fortune and also their lucky item. The show is hosted by an unknown person, and information comes directly from a scientist/astrologer by the name of Dr. Astropoff.
why is it so hard to write good Pokemon slice of life?
>>59081755Slice of life doesn't translate very well to pure text. It really needs visuals to truly bloom.It's not just a Pokemon thing. How many SoL fanfics have you read out there? It's all relationship/shipping/drama/angst/hurt/comfort/etc.
>>59081755It's boring in writing format, people can imagine chaotic scenes better than calm ones. There's also the whole scenary thing, there's only so much you can cover through text, people do complaint about Tolkien's extreme descriptions of irrelevant trees, weather and so on but love how they look in the movies.
>>59081825What about chaotic SoL? Like Nichijou or CITY
>>59081825Write a 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid'
>>59081755Well journey fics are sort of the go to, and allot of the literature 'slice of life' I'm familiar with has to do with high society, which aren't common PoVs in pokemon. They also tend to be very slow paced, low action, and have unreliable narrator's that aren't commented on explicitly.All of which doesn't typically fit with that I think of when I think of fanfiction. Although I'm sure if you put porn in it and made a ridiculously overcomplicated plot people would still read it.
>>59081755Write the scenes while hungry so you can lovingly describe the food you wish you were eating.
>>59081956Must be my poorfag mentality but that kind of stuff triggers me, just say it tastes good you stupid bastard instead of a description about how many salt it has or that it's better than your farts.
>>59081987Sounds to me that you lack taste.
>>59081987That's called having weak aura.
>>59081755Because if nothing happens then it becomes a boring story, simple as.What you CAN do however is put some sol in the calm between happenings

>Nasu "The basic principle is that every story has a theme. And if you ask me, a theme is absolutely necessary when writing a scenario. You can't write a scenario without a theme." He likens it to the skeleton of a human body that won't work without one. The character has a theme that can be summed up as their life. What has this character gained by living his life to the end? What has this character done and what has he achieved? And what does this character say at the end of the story (the famous "one word" at the end, maybe)?Do you agree or disagree?What's your story "theme"?

>>59082933Funny you should mention that, my brother. Or sister.This is more on the roleplaying side but this shit overlaps anyways. But yes, this laddy is really insistent on this thing where "each paragraph needs to have 4 sentences".Now, it's very common for roleplayers to wish for each post or turn or whatever for each person to have four sentences, but generally they're chill will however they're arranged.But this dude, if you do something like>1 line: Dialogue>1 line with enter: More dialogue>1 line with enter: Even more dialogueHe gets PISSED (or maybe unamused?) and says "it's a one-liner" and will insist that it is not proper unless you put the entire conversation into one paragraph. You can't even have a dramatic THE HEART type moment.
>>59082941Don't know who "he" is or what a THE HEART moment is but your post's formatting is also a red flag that makes me drop a fic immediately.>each "paragraph" is a small sentence or two>things that should be grouped into one paragraph are instead on their own lines and further separated by a double spaceNot only does it feel like it's corroding my brain cells, it also means I'd have to constantly scroll since an entire screen's worth of words barely lasts

do you guys ever draw your little characters? be it passionately or out of boredom.
Would you say that Shuppet can just exist in a place with no human influence and hence evolve into Banette, or would you say Shuppet only exist due to the circumstances that make Banette exist (i.e. Banette come first and reproduce)?
>>59083213Both Shuppet and Banette can breed and lay eggs
>>59083077I would if I could draw
>>59083077Sometimes.
>>59082998Personally i hate it.I DID put some cooking in my fic, but it was more about the characters doing it than the food being made.I don't think anybody wants to read food autism in a fic that's not specifically about it.
>>59083258But Pokémon is about nutrition too
>>59083077I've used chatGPT, NovelAI, and touchups in Photoshop but nothing completely of my own make. It's only like 80% accurate from my head.

>>59083628Okay, I gotta stop being lazy and start reading thread fics again. Gonna give this a spin.
How does one carry a Gimmighoul chest? Like I legitimately have no idea how that shit works. It has no hinge so by all logic the way Gholdengo carries it the lid should fall off.
>>59083933the chest has a belt that keeps it closed, it moves by bouncing
Some of the TM Materials are weird. I'm not talking about Slugma lava, at least you can justify that as having the appropriate container. Even gas can be justified. But sparks? SPARKS?
>>59084071Sparks are just pieces of super heated material that momentarily glow white hot
>>59084077So they're no longer sparks after the moment passes?
>>59084071Not weirder than sweat from fighting types
>>59076969i want to skin Alakazam alive and keep its satanic head over my fireplace.how can I write this into a story?
>Struggling with how to handle TMs of all the fucking thingsDo they really just stick the CD on the Pokemon head and they learn the move? how the address this and the four move limit in other media? I don't remember a single one of those showing up in the anime and manga as far I remember.
>>59084102I haven't shown it outright yet but the way I imagine it is the TM is "loaded" into your Pokemon while they're still in their ball, and the data is intermingled with theirs. They come out of the ball "knowing" the move, at least in theory, and from there you practice it through repetition to learn how effectively work it into your battle strategy.
>>59084071Just keep them in a battery?
>>59084102The way I see it, you put the TM in a video player and it plays a video to teach your Pokemon how to do it. Bootlegs fail for the same reason TMs can't be used twice.
>>59084102You just place the disk on the Pokemon's forehead and it learns the move
>>59084102TMs aren't always shown as CDs. In some of the older material they were shown as boxy things that were actually machines which is why they were called Technical Machines. In one of the older manga they were box shaped capsules that when opened sort of sprinkled the energy of the move onto the pokemon's head.
>>59084201Upon further inspection, evidently in the manga they show ancient TMs that were scrolls and artifact relics. Which is funny, because I actually had those be some types of the kinds of TMs that showed up in Crystal Light. I made up stuff like grimoires where mages record their TMs in, one use potions, RPG gear, one use scrolls... So kind of funny to learn that some of those things actually existed.

My autism wants to know about Pokopia's spaceships
>>59084524they look like pokeballs
>>59084565Pokemon owns a lot to Dragon Ball
>>59084565They're survival capsules with their own room, created to preserve humanity above all else due to time constraints.
>>59083568The additional layer of audio makes a huge difference.
>>59084565They figured out how to put humans into pokeballs for long term cryo sleep?
>>59084524it's a disappointment as they more survival capsules than space ships (like in WALL-E).
>>59084690nah, they just live there
>>59084710By the waist this is a woman btw, also I heard they're linking Horizons to this shit so Pokopia shares the same universe if anyone here is into anime stuff.
I am so burned out on writing. Not feeling it at all.
>>59084710it was there all along
>>59084071Sparks from a Voltorb or Toxicitry are magic and fundamentally different from sparks generated by any other means. Manaphy's bath water has practical reason to be exorbitantly expensive
>>59084731Then it's time to stop writing Pokémon stuff and move to another franchise at least for now.

>>59084766some bald faggot that goes around saying he's a leaker
does climate change count as escalation?
>>59084831The more accurate description is Natural Disaster Cascade since large Seismic activities were occurring at the time.
>>59084831>humanity escalates climate change>pokemon escalate by letting humanity die out until the survivors flee into space>for some reason pokemon make it their life's effort to fix the climate and welcome back the humansObliviously biased writing. It's like how trannies on spacebattles always try to argue for the Orcs being allowed to live harmoniously with the Alliance after their repeated attempted genocides against humanity, dwarves, gnomes, elves, etc, their repeated devastation of any land they inhabit, and their repeated taking race-wide pacts with literal fucking demons hellbent on destroying all that is good.
>>59084731Take a break, set an end time before you do.
>>59084867I think it's less man made climate change and more of an move style global disaster that make Robert Emmerich blush.
>>59084731It's time to let artificial intelligence do it for you
>>59085052Artificial intelligence can't mimic my autism. I've tried, it gets too much wrong and writes in a way that's annoying to read.
>>59085052I already use it as a sounding board and to check if my ideas are stupid, that's more than enough.Also a shit ton of smut, but that's for me and me alone.
>>59084731I just read and seethe when I see other writers steal ideas from my mind.
>>59084084Yeah, once they cool down they're just metal filings
>>59084102https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/TMI believe they just hover the disk over the pokemon's head and it literally writes the memory of the move in their brain thanks to sylph co magic
>>59084102They eat the disc. TMs are just nutrition for Moves.
>>59084867>OrcsBasically ruskies.We COULD delete them from existence, but having a permanent enemy is good for the war industrial complex
>>59084102I've always seen TMs as a gameplay abstraction of your pokémon learning moves from other pokémon/people's instruction. E.g. beating a gym leader and getting a TM in gameplay would actually involve your pokémon training to learn that move with the gym leader (like a personal instructor in a real gym).
So how do HMs work?
>>59086107The same way TMs work, they're just branded differently because (((they))) want to control trainer travel rights and monetize them at the same time
>>59083628Congrats on getting it to postable condition, Shifter-anon. It’s a Herculean effort to get that idea and writing it out. It likely isn’t my cup of tea but I’ll add it to the reading list. Also feel free to add it to the threadfic catalog.Collection name is: vpfanfictionthreadGotta say it’s really cool seeing the number of fanfics coming out of this thread recently.
Too tired to continue proof reading right now.At least I still like what I wrote, so that's a nice feeling.
What counts as ESCALATION? Aiming for the trainer directly outside of league/official battles seems to be common in every canon.

>>59087339Jealousy makes the lover more possessive, so it should be the opposite.And besides, catering to something that isn't your personal plan (which you can change with suggestions you find good btw) removes SOVL from your artwork.
>>59087339Was the Kieran subplot ntr?
>>59087459Yes.
>>59076969If your MC ever settles down, in what type of house would their live? Mine would live in a really small apartment, he doesn't have many pokemon anyways
>>59087473It would unironically be a spoiler to describe it, but where they live gets specifically addressed.
>>59087473Not a shoebox in the city center, that's for sure!Maybe a family home in the more rural suburbia, with a garden and enough space to hatch a few eggs.
>>59087557>hatch a few eggsI'm sure his Pokemon will be happy to get it on with him.
>>59087459Actually yes
Remember to wash your Pokemon after a battle
>>59087473Reasonably size treehouse in the woodsThey will also be popping out eggs there
>>59087109You might have to check the original Japanese words used for things like that. I wouldn't trust localization when it comes to specifics, NOA & co have a tendency to make shit up.
>>59088141Is everybody just pimping out their pokemon or is the trainer doing the impregnating himself.
>>59088242Well there's not many ntr fags here, right?
Anyone got any reading recommendations?
>>59088483My diary.
>>59088528I don't want to read your autobiographical smut, Emma.
Are there any recommended conquest fanfics?
>>59088548Are you asking for>A fic about the game Pokemon Conquest>A fic about an SI conquering the Pokemon world>Or a fic about the Invincible character Conquest being isekai'd into the Pokemon world
>>59088483>Crime Sometimes PaysWhat if Giovanni gave an Isekai'd alcoholic a gun and ordered him to ESCALATE for the betterment of Team Rocket? Update never ever.
>>59088568Going by the image, he's asking for haremshit where "conquest" means "conquering" every hot girl he meets.
>>59088548As in conquest by ESCALATION?
>>59088582With a male ace trainer, scientist and an old gentleman as part of his harem, oh my
>>59088483What do you think you're in the mood for? Or looking for, at least.
>>59088568>Gets to be a "general" leading soldiers in combat, challenging himself to ever-greater feats>But is also a peaceful world where no death is necessary and he doesn't have to be a cog in the war machine, and can form the connections he's craved his whole lifeConquest would fold fucking INSTANTLY to the Pokemon world.
What typically makes you go from liking a character casually to 'fuck yeah, this is the motherfucking MC!'
>>59088616Real conquerors value not conquests by male/female, career, or age, but by the strength of their aura.my eyes skimmed over the image and only saw girls and the only text box I read was the last one
>>59088621Mostly anything that is well written. Preferably something I can read in one sitting.
>>59088568>>59088600The game conquestBig fan of dudes in armor and their pals
>>59088629The first big time when their inner personality shines through, and interacts with the themes of the story. Not a fic but the easiest example I can point to is Edward Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist going out in the rain with Pinako to dig up what he thinks is his mother's corpse. They're out there suffering and struggling in miserable conditions, until they finally dig it up, and Ed sees a lock of her hair, and realizes it isn't the right color. Ed and Al had tried to bring their mom back in vain, and lost Al's body and Ed's arm and leg over nothing. Resurrecting the dead was completely impossible.But instead of despairing, or getting angry, Ed just starts laughing and crying tears of sheer relief. He's not concerned with his own pain at all, all that matters in that moment is he now knows that he hadn't caused his mom to suffer and die a second time. And even more importantly: he'd seen Al's real body before, within the gate, which he now realized meant he was definitely still alive, and could have his body returned to him.It should be this tragic, subversive moment, realizing their mom is gone forever and they'd harmed themselves for nothing, but instead it's absolution for Edward. He didn't care about the setbacks or the grief, all that mattered was that there was a chance for him to do right by his brother, and the peace of knowing he hadn't put his mom through more pain.
>>59088624Viltrumites as a whole just needed to get laid
>>59084102I had mine bite on an illegal TM like a retard and his trainer stopped from actually eating it. Still works.
>>59084102Inshallah I will always have the TM happen off-screen and never need to explain.Four move limit I always imagined as just weird Institute rules. You use your four moves and then had better remember which ones they were until the match is over.

AUS herself pops in your room and after raping you in every hole and leaving you a sobbing soppy mess in your bed She decides to gift you the ability to write one single Pokemon fanfic flawlessly no matter how difficult it could possibly be to write. The fic will be very successful and will be at minimum in the Top 5 most popular Pokemon fanworks ever. However, Her one and only condition is that fic must be a Crossover fic. Furthermore, it must be a serious ambition and desire and want of yours. Not a shitpost or a meme. Something you want to see working out.What do you pick to crossover with Pokemon and why?
>>59089138>raping you in every hole>herselfFirst: you say noSecond: you crossover with palworld to watch both the tendies and aus herself seetheHonestly i never really understood the appeal of serious crossovers.
>>59088548https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13541344/1/ConquerThis fic exists. Close enough name.It's actually one of the most popular fics on ff.net and yet I've never seen it mentioned here even once.

>>59089138Crossovers are just impossible thanks to the lack of stakes in Pokémon, that and because evil people don't exist in modern lore and even loansharks are considered good guys
>>59089286My mistake then. I must have missed you.>>59089279>stopped updating 2021Is that an issue?Surely anon reads old fanfics, right?

>>59089287Why are you so autistic about this in the fanfic thread of all places? You keep bringing this up as if it means anything to people who can reject it and write that Ghetsis was executed by firing squad and Lysandre was publicly beheaded via guillotine.

>>59089290If it’s completed it should be recommended and talked about. If it’s abandoned… yeah it deserves to no longer be talked about 5 years later unfortunately.
>>59089324>If it's abandonedC'mon, anon. By that logic then no one would talk about 99% of fanfiction out there.That's part and parcel of fanfiction reading. Enjoying a deadfic knowing it's a deadfic and then lamenting it'll never ever be accomplished is part of the fun.
>>59089322That's because:>>59089088>>59089036These guys lose the semifinals against >>59088916 and >>59089056 while everyone else jobs in the qualifications (except >>59088902, who won the previous league and nailed a job as the league's announcer/tv stream voice)

>>59090052Hit up Area Zero for some Herba Mystica I guess
>>59090052have you tried spreading peanut butter over it?
>>59089698Wait, you mean pokemon... can have sex with other pokemon?And that makes an egg?
>>59090052PokéSpe did something like that with Giovanni iirc, he was cured after eating some random berries given by Celebi tho
>>59089367...Hisuan ZoroarkNormal/Ghostnothing said anything about pure monotypes.
>>59090705Sadly, your semi final round was against the secretly strongest champion in the world, and his mud hair disrupted your Zoroark's illusions. Not from interference or anything, it just couldn't stop laughing at the guy with mud hair.
>>59090832The point is that there countless dualtype normals in the game that can counter fighting type. Also, who said >>59088871 limited to one universe.>>59088916>I effectively become a Guyver, Hamon Master, and a Biotic from Mass Effect rolled into one, on top of becoming a Saiyan with absurd combat potential. Your sole pokemon is Riolu, and through your training it became the ultimate Lucario capable of solving all monsters; thus making you the undefeatable Galactic Pokémon champion.
>>59090888>Your sole pokemon is Riolu, and through your training it became the ultimate Lucario capable of soloing all monsters; >fix'd (fuck autocorrect).
>>59090888Nice trips, anyways >dualtypeWe talk about type aura a lot but do we even talk about dual types aura?
>>59090924>>59088916's Lucario may have all of their pulse moves amplified to the point that they can one shot all Pokemon. Plus Agilitiy and Detect should cover for their defense and speed issues.
>>59090964>>59090924There's is no dual-type Aura, just that dual-typings are more or less a loophole to allow a wider selection of Pokémon. I don't know how it would effect the Pokemon's stats and/or moves, but I do suspect that Lucario is the perfect fit for >>59088916.
>>59088840Let make some ammendments:>you can have dual-type Pokémon, but the boost from your type-aura will be halved as an result. >any cheats that boost aura will have their effectiveness cut by 75%. >Your Pokémon can't have moves and abilities that will change their typing under any circumstances (no Protean, no Conversion, no Arceus).>You can not be able to terasilize your Pokémon outside of your type-aura.
>>59090995>There's is no dual-type AuraThat's because my MC hasn't invented/discovered them yet.
>>59091046Can I terastalize a pokemon INTO my type aura like the Paldea gym leaders?Not that I took a type aura, I decided not to roll for one since it seemed optional
>>59091073You can only capture/own Pokemon who base typing matches your own type-aura; so no.
>>59090888You can't be Pokemon Champion if you're banned from the league due to the legal allegations against you. Everybody heard about your guilty verdict on the radio.
>>59091095Fake and gay, if I had type aura I'd be pissed.
>>59091059Remember, your MC cheat has been cutted to a quarter of their power thanks to >>59091046 amendment.It seems you don't want your MC to lose in battle.
>>59091106The MC comment was a joke, but now I have to actually make the main character of my fic discover dual aura just to spite you.
>>59091103Yeah, it's so that >>59088871 won't abuse the Turtle.
>>59091095>a fly is buzzing around my head>try to swat it, but never seem to be able to catch it despite my inhuman abilities >i don't have Bug aura
>Writer's block>Been stuck trying to write a driving scene and an airport scene for a weekAll I've managed to do in that time is binge hours of air travel vlogs for context and dick around in Koi
>>59091097What are the allegations?
>>59091158Mia really does look like a lesbian next to her sister, but seriously IMOanon if the scene is giving you so much trouble, and important stuff doesn't happen during it, then maybe you should just skip it with the narration just briefly describing the flight and off boarding in a paragraph. I say that because usually when I get really stuck on a scene it's because my brain is telling me it's not working but I don't know why so try skipping it and writing what happens after instead and you can go back if you still feel like writing the airport scene.
>>59091158It doesn’t have to be Slice of Life IMOanon. Unless you’re trying to do some cool foreshadowing or something.
>>59091158>an airport sceneRead the start of the Mundus Magicus arc from Negima, to this day it's still the best "airport" scene and a good way to do a genre shift
>>59091158When I wrote a driving scene it turned into something this music would play during.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbN8XVC7DbU
>>59091213I was thinking of skipping it but it's a really good spot to work in some relationship building, so I don't want to lose it. I'm gonna try and power through the first section tonight and I think if I can manage that the rest will flow.>>59091214It's more for character work and some worldbuilding than anything else. A chance for Vi to flex her star power, too.>>59091242God Negima has been on my backlog for over ten years. I'll read it someday I swear.>>59091253>Venture Bros.I fucking kneel, great taste anon. That's not an inaccurate depiction of Vi's driving either...
>>59091308>There are multiple Venture Bros fans in this threadI see I am not the only Silly Billy in here.
>>59091385The games have a bit that says Iron Hands was an athlete who suffered a fatal injury and so someone turned him into a cyborg, I wonder what mad man had such an idea.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdAlga6rQpAOr how spiteful an Iron Hands could be.
>>59091159So far just that you're gay. But you know what they could be.
>>59090888>endless counters to the fighting typeCounters are cool. HOWEVER: fighting type.You really thought you had a chance against the personification of a training montage?
>>59091046Can we have another option where the aura buff only applies to the rolled type? As in dual types are still monstrously buffed when talking about THE type, but the secondary type is just kinda there, maybe debuffed too (effectively rendering them similar enough to monotypes)
>>59091308>Vi and Bonnie are both borderline murderous vehicle driversWell damn.
>>59091988I bet it runs in the family, we just need to wait and see if Oberon is a bad driver as well.
>everyone has aura because that shit is basically life force >but according to Sabrina everyone has psychic potential they just don't realize it What the hell, then humans are dual type too? Psychic/Fighting?
>>59092095Humans are ???? Type
Humans are stellar type because they can adapt to space unlike Pokémon, there's a reason on why they didn't take even one
>>59091993>OberonDid I miss something?
>>59092154Kuzey has a mysteriously missing aunt (ti)tania who had a breakdown after his uncle Hugo was killed by a pokemon.The narration also mentions Oberon using a voice filter, meaning their identity is concealed. That last part may seem self evident, but people only hide their identities if they have something to hide which is curious as all of Fabelgen's board except for Ethan Gold are anonymous.So there's two options here. Ethan Gold, who doesn't have a close relationship to the main characters and lacks a motive, or the mysterious missing woman who has a reason to hide her identity and is a relative of the main character.

>>59092170I did say I was excited for your crashout about this chapter. It is actually a good thing long term, which will become evident in Chapter 11.>>59092167I'm going to forget this information.
>>59092170>Not even using a spoilerDamn bro.
>>59092200Oberon being Tania also provides a connection between Kuzey's parents and her. She probably tried to bring them in on her 'wipe out all pokemon plan' the summary talks about, but trapped them when they refused.It also makes Oberon hiring Seringue less coincidental, as she would be hiring someone she's already familiar with instead of Oberon coincidentally hiring someone who's familiar with Kuzey's family.

>>59092213>>59092218None of that is spoilers. He's just speculating which is based. Maybe IMOanon should conceal his shit better.
>>59092218I thought everyone else figured it out as well. Honestly, I would just be suspicious normally but the summary mentioning Oberon's motive make me certain as otherwise I'd be more likely to guess something along the lines of Oberon's motive being wanting to fuck or romance a legendary pokemon and all the main characters only coincidentally getting caught up in his quest due to the research of Kuzey's parents, with Tania being another top operative.But the backstory with Tania and Hugo just lines up way to well with the motive mentioned in the summary for me to ignore it.Also the narration hides Oberon's gender, calling her an it, but 90% of the time a character having a hidden gender means they're a women. The other 10% is split evenly between them being a man, or them being genderless.
>>59088840Created an retry of that in the new thread: >>59092248
>>59092215Interesting idea. If Seringue was a codename, I wonder if Kosky is one as well. Would that be Kuzey's uncle Barnes? Or another member of the staff? Thinking back I think I remember an anon mentioning an idea for an evil butler and maid pair...
>>59092268Chapter 16>"Thanks. Anyway, I asked her about Marcelle, and Hugo. Apparently Marcelle is Seringue's real name; she was a maid that used to work for my family, back when my mom and aunt were kids."
