I have thought about writing an April fool's chapter where the genre and style of the fic changes drastically as a gag

Well it's kind of a romance, action/adventure, journey thing so I assume it'd become a tragedy, intrigue thriller, mainly set in one location. Honestly you wouldn't have to change Rhys that much, just make Clair less accommodating towards gim, hen dial up his self conceit a little and he'd probably end up falling into Team Rocket eventually. I'd have to flesh out Mahogany Town more as the story would mostly take place there.
You wouldn't have to change anything about Weavile, she'd fit that hypothetical story as is.

>The trenches that morning were as cold and wet as they had been every morning. But they were steadily growing more empty as soldiers and their pokemon failed to return from the Chansey tent. Even as they worked through the night, he knew that that were faces he saw yesterday that he would not be seeing today. A part of him considered that the worst part was how numb he had grown to the death surrounding them. But that part was numb too, and the part of him that remained was glad for it. To think that he could see a man scramble through the mud as a Flareon cooked the meat from his and feel nothing. He doubted he would ever be able to look at an Eevee the same way again. "War is hell, Tobio." A gruff voice said, and he looked up to where Poochyena was sitting beside him. The puppy pokemon took a long drag from his cigarette as he stared a thousand yards away at the far sidd of the trench. "Good mons dying and killing... For what? This isn't how life should be. This isn't normal." Poochyena scowled as he chewed on his cig.

Tobio...

>>59348693
I was just thinking, Ian might be an interesting match with Crest because he's got an ego that even puts Wartortle's to shame. The only reason he listens to Kuzey is they're brothers (and Crest thinks he's the big brother). Ian would have to do a lot of appeasing to keep him feeling like the main character.

>>59348745
Really? Crest just sort of blended into the background for me, honestly Phylla feels more notable even if I know that's wrong. Mind you I say notable and not "has a strongly defined personality."
Probably my fault for not paying as much attention to him as I should've been.

>>59348751
Next chapter has a full-on pow wow with all the main Pokemon so hopefully I can cement their characters a little more for you, but yeah Crest is a brat that thinks he's the only Pokemon Kuzey really needs. Phylla is a freeloading attention hog, and a food thief to boot.

I wanted the fight with Golett to be a peek into his headspace, that Crest is overjoyed to fight like this because Kuzey's finally got his head in the game.

>>59348518

>>59348693
I haven't read Sellouts yet. I am honestly way behind on reading stuff and haven't read anything in months. But I'll go down some answers.

If Tobio had Blastoise then he would now have the right and be expected to claim the title of Captain of the Kingdom Knights. Which Tobio would not have wanted to do, so what would happen is he and Squirtle would become the most wanted thieves in the kingdom.

>>59348806
To give you a picture of Maractus, the author described her eyes as being full of pure evil, and described her personality as being akin to Judge Holden in CCfag's comment section.

>>59348745
Crest and Sawsbuck being attention whores would be fun to write. Honestly, I was seriously debating putting an Armarouge in Ian’s team at one point. Eventually I realized I didn’t want to double up on Psychic types for the “final” six of Ian’s team. Tfw the “Sawsbuck role” of my fic in development hell is an Armarouge

>>59348825
I think an Amourouge is very Konosuba coded so it works.

>>59348806
Found the comment he left.
>The maractus at a distance looks totally normal, it's only when you get up close that you'd see the unsettling differences. She's roughly four hundred years old and it shows, where the ordinarily soft stellate-studded epidermis would be there is instead a dull green leather grading into more brown than green base, her spines are whittled down to nubs from years of use. The flowers that adorn her head are brunt at the edges. Lastly, I always pictured her face as Judge Holden's from Blood Meridian, a permanent grin etched into her face that just a little too wide and little too sharp, her eyes completely devoid of any joy, that when taken as a whole is entirely alien and immediately hostile.
She also like building vietcong traps and humans romantically, and possible sexually..

It’s not the Konosuba one.

Feels weird.

Is Borne of Nutrition as bad as people say it is?

>>59348871
It’s extremely influential. Most of the tropes we bitch about in here actually became popular because of it, just worse writers executed those tropes very poorly. If it updated consistently (which its been doing better recently, to be fair) and didn’t have the overt foxlust I’d say it would be widely regarded as the GOAT of Pokemon fanfics.

>>59348871
>bad
The fic itself is one of the better ones. But it does treat nutrition as an unknown science that only the MC knows about.

>>59348871
It's not that bad, it's a worthwhile read just to see how far its influence has propagated like what >>59348887 wrote. I dislike it because the author started to play it safe with his writing I think to protect the patreonbucks and so now it's quite bland and predictable.

>>59348871
To add on (I’m >>59348887), I’d highly recommend any writer who wants to improve how they write fights to check it out. It’s not the only fic with good fights obviously, but it was very inspirational for me and I know many others.

>>59348926
>>59348899
Well I guess I'll have to add it to my list then, the only question is does it go above or under Crystal Light?

Nah, it’s just easy to rag on. The nutrition magic is a plot hole, sure, but it’s fine otherwise unless you dislike feralfaggotry.

Oh. I think Wol would be fucking dead. Real answer is that, depending if he got Maractus as his starter when he was a kid like Squirtle or as an adult like(?) Sellouts. As a kid he'd probably be pretty naive and believe he can help steer her away from being so violent only to eventually end up being groomed. As an adult he'd probably do the same but less as a naive child and more as an attempt to tame her to keep her from hurting people. Kinda funny for somebody to suggest pairing up the semi-pacifist with what sounds like a psychopath. Would be a Black Mage instead of a Knight.

Since I'm already talking about Wol, I'll go down a quick list of ones I can remember off the top of my head. This is all assuming he got them as his starter when he was a kid.

-He would have grown up to be more hot blooded from Crest's influence and would be a Red Mage. He'd evolve it into Armarouge and Garland would have Ceruledge.
-Sawsbuck would have him become a White Mage, and if he got Tapu Bulu's blessing as well then he'd travel the land attempting to heal the blight around Elfheim and Melmond.
-If he had Vahnzimmig then he'd be a Monk and I'd imagine he'd be pretty scared up from trying to take care of him. But he'd also be ripped as hell from the insane Garchomp that he is rumored to wrestle while insisting that its just a little troubled.

Picrel is Maractus.

SI guy into Erika who tries xer best not to fuck up while frauding as hard as possible to run a gym

Doesn't sound possible for the average guy, Erika was already surrounded by sycophants. Their noblesse girl gossip senses would spot the anomalous behavior immediately unless xhe was already a tranny to begin with and an expert in navigating cancel culture circles.

never

>>59349757
It all depends on the pace of your story. Also if you can fit a good arc for the starter even better. The culmination of the arc will matter far more to readers if you’re able to pull it off, no matter when the evolution happens.

I will write my Pokemon attacks like this!!!

>>59349592
I think that'd be the fun in writing (and reading) something like it. The original Erika is temperamental and inattentive and I imagine she doesn't have much of a social life outside of her gym. So the SI's goal would be trying to emulate the public persona of Erika and trying to maintain her position and trying to bond with her personal team.
As for motivation, I'll have to think of something more concrete but my initial idea is for the money, that being a gym leader with a popular fragrance store makes a lot and that to maintain the money coming in they think that playing the role of Erika is how to do so. I can think off a pretty good consequence for not playing the part well. Don't know when I'll start writing it since I already have a fic but I might give it a go.
>>59349705
Na. Just my own idea.

>>59349836
>and trying to bond with her personal team
Imagine being a pokemon and having a really strong almost tangible bond with your trainer, then one day that bond suddenly vanishes and your "trainer" is acting completely alien.

Okay, CCfag here, started trying to make things less shit and this sounds a little demanding, but does the following post read better?
Basically the first outside of Vahnz pov of the Frigibax in the first chapter. Omits a lot of fluff but I don't know if this change is actually good, or if I'm just overcorrecting things.
(I swear I'll get to the Maractus drawing!)

Dammit, have to post it in parts. Just a moment.

"Southeast of Balk Town, in the prickly forests, fled a theropod to the Forbidden Forest and chasing after were a band of brigands. Short of breath, the Arctibax rushed through trees and broke down a few fallen trunks as an opening came into view.
A hot strike of lightning struck the back of her head and she cursed out to the harassers; A Seviper, Linoone, Mightyena and a Manectric were closing in with wild expressions, sharp teeth bared in terrible grins.
Breaking into the opening, the moonlight revealed the ruin of a settlement, mostly made of wood and some crumbling stone here and there.Bad cover, need to make it to Town.
She ran towards a few walls as a bolt struck the ground and another blasted some rocky wall into fine dust. The brigands yelled out some, 'Give it up worm!' 'Nah, just run yourself ragged!' 'We'll get yar throat!' though she smelled they reeked of alcohol. Ducking behind a wall, she twirled around and released a whirl of frosty gust from her mouth, hitting several of the bandits. In the eyes and coating the muscles in a slight layer of ice.
But they charged through the blast and almost nicked her at the neck as she jumped back and rushed further in the maze of the fallen settlement. Taking frantic turns, she corraled them a few more times resulting only in annoyed growls of the Manectric and gloating laughter from the Linoone. The Mightyena remained silent.This is wasting energy- where's the snake?
Her answer came from a side alley and with a desperate swing of frozen claws she parried fangs covered in poisonous slime. Immediately the others reached her.
Luckily she got a headbutt from the Linoone and was sent through three walls and landed outside the maze. She heard the complaining as she sprang up, almost tripping, 'Dammit Zed! Shoulda grabbed that dargon!' 'Shucks man, no can do!'"

"Her eyes darted around her surroundings, decayed buildings behind her, in front the misty entrance of the Dungeon, which she shook her head at and to her sides more neglected structures.
She ran to the left and not fifteen footfalls later did the rustling of grass make her heart skip a beat.
Two sets of teeth from the quiet Mightyena lunged forth to her neck.
I stop, the others catch, I veer to the sides, same end.Dive.
Her neck avoided the jaws, but both their bodies collided and when they sprawled on the ground, the hound snapped and bit towards her as she smacked the rancid yellow canines away with her claw and made for another set of buildings, broken walls laying on the ground leading to a mansion in disrepair.
An electric blast made her stumble and a hiss next to her forced a another cold wind from her mouth that deterred the Seviper.
"Keep her there Gin," snarled the Manectric as his fur bristled, letting out another thunderbolt that struck the dragon on her back, the draconic scales blackened as it held off the worst of it. The snake slithered towards her with its body tensing. Behind her she could hear frantic running and stupid laughter.
They're corraling me. Oh God. You're all drunk! Make mistakes!"

"Then a brilliant light struck down, a white pale line in the sky and for a moment she saw fire strike down onto the earth, right into the Forbidden Dungeon. She closed her eyes.
Searing, burning brightness lit up the night and all the bandits were blinded by the awful white.
"Fuckin' Hell is that!" roared the Manectric, stopping so he wouldn't hit anything on accident. The Seviper missed terribly and struck a sharp stone instead and the Linoone flew right into the Manectric.
"Dammit, where's that dragon! Get that bitch!" he ordered and forced his irritated eyes to open and saw mere flashes. He closed his eyes. "Fuck was that light?" he muttered, orienting himself, for the retinas of Electric types usually filtered through strong flashes of light better, "And get off of me."
"Damn, sorry Kirk."
"S'fine, you shits alright."
"We almost had her too..." the snake groaned, quickly helped up by the Mightyena who called out to the Manectric.
"Closed my eyes in time, then tried to get her, but she fled into the Dungeon."
He shook his head a bit and cursed himself for not simply smelling the scent of the dragon, "Just great."
"...Hey, we're not going in there right?" asked the Linoone, "It's not she'll make it in her condition," and not hearing a response, "Oh come on Kirk! We ain't even prepared for Dungeon shit. And so what if she blabs, Balk basterds already know we're here right?"
"They suspect, sure. But it's better if we confirm her death," he responded as his sight slowly returned, "Get your bearings, then we go in.""

'Southeast of Balk Town, in the prickly forests, fled a theropod to the Forbidden Forest and chasing after were a band of brigands. Short of breath, the Arctibax rushed through trees and broke down a few fallen trunks as an opening came into view.'

Missing a 'her' between after and were there.

Dunno if the 'prickly forest' needs to be mentioned at all, you show that the Arctibax is rushing through trees in the second sentence so we can infer that the scene is in a forest. Also reads as if the character is running through a forest trying to get to another forest and then reaches an opening in the forest to get into a settlement, not a forest. I also (as the reader) have no frame of reference to what Balk Town is so knowing where it is doesn't seem needed. The first two sentences seem a bit weird to me, I personally would have gone:

"A trunk of a tree smashed down to the forest floor with a splintering crack, the Arctibax who had felled it leaping over an already toppled log with her sights set on an opening in the treeline just ahead. The band of brigands was still in pursuit and making their own path through the foliage behind her, keeping her dashing forwards despite her shortness of breath."

Seems to flow better.

'she smelled they reeked of alcohol.'
that they reeked?

'hitting several of the bandits. In the eyes and coating the muscles in a slight layer of ice.'

Remove the period

'Luckily she got a headbutt from the Linoone and was sent through three walls and landed outside the maze.'

"Luckily a headbutt from the Linoone sent her crashing through three walls to land outside of the maze."

'in front the misty entrance of the Dungeon,'
An arch? A cave?

'I stop, the others catch, I veer to the sides, same end.Dive.'
?

I think it needs a bit of a proofread for sure. Do you read your writing back aloud to yourself? Parts of it sound jilted to me.

>>59350042
>Southeast of Balk Town, an Arctibax fled to the Forbidden Forest with a Seviper, Linoone, Mightyena and a Manectric in hot pursuit, rushing through branches and over fallen trees. A hot strike of lightning struck the back of her head and she cursed as the brigands laughed, sharp teeth bared in terrible grins.
It communicates the same information just with more clarity: No repetition of the word forest, telling the species off the bat (I like this or full physical then species name, just calling Fiberglass a theropod but not giving a full description is kind of weird to me.). Anyway you get my point, cutting down on exposition is one thing, but
>Bad cover, need to make it to Town. As the other guys said, read it aloud, some of the issues with lack of clarity should be more visible then.
This is her internal thoughts, right? I'm guilty of doing this as well but I try to ease the reader into it more.

>>59350079
>'I stop, the others catch, I veer to the sides, same end.Dive.'
?

Nevermind this one I reread the actual part on Ao3 and it makes more sense.

>>59350079
Oh yeah, believe, it's mostly just trying to get a better feel for little to no exposistion on the outside of Vahnz' parts and I did kind write this in a hurry because I have to to work in like ten minutes.
Which is why I ask here to see if cutting the fat exposes more issues that another issue hid.
>cutting down on exposition is one thing,
Yeah... I know :(
Fug, why is writing so difficult.
Thank you so much I'll read it more in depth tonight.

>>59350090
>Fug, why is writing so difficult.

You should see me attempt to write pokemon battles, Mahogany anon has already pointed out my atrocious interpretation of tail whip of all things. I guess I'm stuck with character interactions being my writing bread and butter.

'Despite her previous complaints as to its quality and suitability as even base sustenance it was still her food and she would be loath to lose it in such a manner to Weave of all pokemon, the plate sliding away just out of reach of the thief with Princess feeling her ears twitch with the minimal effort. The manoeuvre earned her an exaggerated huff from Weave and a sideways glance of the eyes from the large criminal sitting at the other end of the table, but her captor and the pair of other humans were apparently too engrossed in their own conversation to intervein.

“Guess those glowing things of yours are useful for something other than scaring rattata.” Another attempt for the plate was followed by a third, then a forth. Faster each time, all were similarly avoided with Princess crossing her arms across her chest with a glare at the weavile’s audacity. Buizel for his part remained still were he was hanging off the table-edge, too engrossed in watching the food-bearing plastic zip around without any paw nor claw touching it. “You’ll slip up sooner or later,” Weave muttered with a restrained snarl.'

(Just to prove that I am actually writing shit while prowling the thread in the upside-down hours).

>>59349592
Just fake a head injury and say you have to go on a journey to get stronger and find yourself or something.

>>59349854
No, because ghostly possession is a thing. Pokemon wouldn't be able to concretely prove if its a fully different entity who just looks like their trainer or something controlling their still living body. You risk killing your best friend.

>>59350206
That's why the best way to do an isekai-into-body story is to have the original still sharing the body with you, and fighting for control.

Well I put out the first three chapters so I could revise them, and honestly it's for the better. Although with the way it's ending up this won't be a scenario where people can just skip the events in the revised chapters and go straight to the new ones. That's mainly because I ended up writing a Colress (PoPT) moment where I delivered a bunch of clunky exposition all at once and too late, so I had to cut it up and sprinkle it through all the previous chapters alongside the editing/revising, and adding other stuff to them.

I mean, I shift genres every arc or so.
PMD is easily accommodating for survival, superheroes, mystery, comedy, romance, horror, etc.

You will end your fic with MC and the main heroine marrying each other, right?

>>59351337
Maybe as a fun little epilogue thing.

>>59351337
Isn't Faba a villain, why the fuck did they invite him?

>>59351337
End? Nah, next arc will feature their children after a time skip and we get to read them gush about how much of a GOAT the MCs are. And we'll get a chapter where the kids are in dire straights and then the parents come in to mop the floor with everyone and make a speech about how it's their duty to make sure the kids grow up alright and it's ok to rely on them for somethings.

Lyssandre in ZA lost his memory, is cursed with immortality and is Zygarde's most important janny

>>59351337
Forgeg married, it'll end with Kuzey and a VERY pregnant Herri showing their ten year old daughter Thesseli the cliffs in Paldea where he grew up, and the final passage is her crossing paths with a wild Charcadet. This is probably a lie.

>>59351397

Is it okay for my MC to not evolve one of his Pokemon because he finds the evolution ugly?

>>59351499
Yes, always. The anime taught us that second to the power of friendship is the power of marketability, just look at Pikachu and Piplup.

>>59351525
Pikachu is just KANTOOOOOO wank tho

>>59351530
Raichu would fall under that umbrella too. But Raichu isn't as moe moe kyun as Pikachu so it lost.

>>59351530
Show me on the doll where Kanto touched you, zoomie?

>>59348837
You know, I read the first chapter of SELLOUTS and I kept thinking that the prose and the schizo emperor hobo encounter felt like it came straight out of Blood Meridian. Extremely portentous and maybe pretentious. Neat to see my suspicions confirmed.

>>59351337
Tobio and Josalyn give each other the ick.

>>59351610
They already act like an old married couple

>>59351337
My MC's balls haven't dropped yet and the only person who could remotely be considered a love interest for him is a ghost who doesn't even have a gender.

>>59351337
Yes, that's basically the premise of the fic.

>>59351602
I tried to make it less pretentious and purple in later chapters. I got so worried about not being able to set the tone in the first chapter that it ended up being a turgid mess. But, yes as a mid-wit pseud Blood Meridian is in the genealogy of the fic along with CSP and CC.

>>59351644
Its more like siblings. Tobio prefers women who boss him around and Josalyn is into fat bastards.

>“M-Miss Ito, ever since you came to my place for dinner, I've wanted to sleep with you. Even if it doesn't go into having sex, just sleeping next to you and holding you has been something I've wanted!” He stuttered before blurting it out. Watching her reaction to see how she took his confession, Mika had her standard, blank stare. Terrified of the potential consequences, Makoto was too deep in and couldn't turn back now.

>“Seeing you naked today has been driving me absolutely wild… if we shared a bed right now, I'd ask if we could be naked again and cuddle, just so I could feel you against me. But I'd probably ask if you could sit on my face… yes, I'll admit I'm obsessed with you and I love your ass! And I-I… I sniffed the couch you sat on when you left, just because I wanted to see how you smelled and experience your warmth on my face! I-I'm so embarrassed by all of this… you're going to hate me now, aren't you?”

Oddly curious yet also knowing I am not ready for the weirdness. Although as a hipster when it comes to Pokemon choices, I am intrigued by the Maractus pick. Not sure when I’ll get to it. Gotta finish CC and a chapter of my own WIP before I hit another threadfic.

Gib government headcanons

>>59352598
Autistic psychics occupy most mundane government positions. Their autism renders the regional governments immune from corruptive jewery, much to the chagrin of any would-be bankers.

>>59352598
The League is not the government

>>59352598
Gym leaders are basically relics of military governors and are on paper the head of all armed and police forces in their region but in practice they don't actually do anything unless its actually very serious. They can (but wont) replace any civil administration which works on a mayoral practice outside of emergencies. So most of their time is just honorary ribbon cutting and beating up 10 year olds the other half of the year. The League is the next level of all of this but they don't bother with a separate civil leadership since nearly nobody challenges the Elite Four or Champion so they have far more time on their hands to actually govern.

>>59352598
The current Fuchsia City mayor cheated on the elections by using Double Team and voting for himself

Any chances to make a living by making a pokemon comic? No, not a PMD one.

>>59352847
No. I’m sure most writers with a lucrative P@treon were told that though.

>>59352847
Not much considering Nintendo would take it down if it gets really popular

>Just typed the words “image board” in my WIP while referring to stuff on the internet
>Mentioned PorySearch and RotomFind
At least I’ll get to drop an easter egg about RotomFind being weird when it’s late at night.

>>59351949
Tobio isn't a simp. He is a pretty confident guy.

>>59352598
Gyms and gym leaders aren't government, they are their cities sports team. So they are actually more influential than the local government.

I've been thinking of using aura like in HxH as a way to explain why it isn't as common as psychic powers

Any fic about Pokemon World Tournament, having trainers form a team to represent their regions?

>>59353329
So there's like an aura society keeping it hidden? I'm taking some HxH inspiration as well, although that's mainly in how aura and type energy works, not the political situation around it.
I guess it depends on the history of aura, I know in HxH Nen or rather being a Hunter seems a rather modern invention created by people bringing together disparate knowledge and proto-Nen crafts to create the modern system of classifying Nen.

>>59353331
No, but if I ever do a Legends ZA fic I’d definitely do something like this.

I'm sick so instead of writing I'm listening to chiptunes and it got me thinking about Battle music for my characters. And I wanted to see what other writefags would give their characters too (or non-writefags would give fic characters) cause I liked the theme music people shared last time.

>what other writefags would give their characters too (or non-writefags would give fic characters)
Theme music for battles is a lot harder than character or opening music for me. Clair obviously has her own battle theme already. Since I love Meglo Strike Back (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpJudi7_iiw) so much I want to say it's Rhys' theme, but honestly it's a bit too playful. He ended up more prideful, and I think a Rhys more comfortable with being teasing, wouldn't warrant such an ominous or villainous theme. Fuck it, I like Union Jack (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVJDjNCsvVw)

>>59354061
Ominous is fine you just gotta work towards champion to earn it. After all people are always shitting themselves over Cynthia's theme

Hey guys.
So, way back then, I started in a Sun and Moon (anime) fanfic that followed a group of OCs going through the school like Ash did in the show, taking place a year or two after the events of the Sun and Moon anime.
The fic has sat abandoned by me for roughly four years, and with my latest writing project done, I’ve put consideration into attempting to revive it. I’m posting it here to get feedback from anyone who’d want to read it, and if there is stuff that’s salvageable, or if I’d have to start over.
Be warned: it’s styled like the Pokemon anime.

>>59354135
Started a*

>>59354135
I sped-read up to chapter six. It reads fine, it just feels rather generic, as in there's nothing that would differentiate this fic from others like it. Reading this reminds me that I've long since aged out of the target demographic of this fic. Also, the battle sequence just reads like a list, not very engaging.
I would argue that it's not worthwhile to re-write from the start, unless in those four years you've had some major revelation about the plot/characters/themes. You've also probably had some major life changes, so the only concern that I would have immediately is maintaining the tone and voice of the narrator you set at the start.

Someone rated my fiction 1 star.
Eight chapters in, 65k words total, and now bearing an official 1 star rating.
I mean fuck, what did he want from me? I’m averaging 100 views a chapter for my harmless little adventure story. I feel like my flower garden just got obliterated by a stray artillery bomb.
Im used harsh criticism, Im happy to have any reviews even if just says “fuck you I hate this.” But man a driveby 1 star without any justification?
fuck me that hurts hahaa
