The Other Pokeauthors, Part 11

“Second off: the “Butt-raping.”

You are unfamiliar with my interpretation of the world of pokemon. I attempt to inject a heavy dose of reality into my work. After having applied social Darwinism to the very basis of pokemon, the world that developed from such an archetype shares far more in common with contemporary earth than it does with the canon’s fetching fantasy about benevolent monsters.

As such, eleven year old children exploring the hostile world that I envisioned would be subjected to real-world dilemmas and situations. The comment about arboks eating Red, as well as the comment about hobos butt-raping children, is introduced with a casual tone in order to dissuade my audience from the canon’s common lore.“

“Your review helped me in making my story better. So far I gain more favs and follows each time I upload a chapter. However, I feel like your review’s presence will turn off anybody who wants to check out the reviews first before reading it. I have written a rather successful story before this one, so I know I’m doing something right. Thing is, people will see your review and automatically assume the whole thing is poorly written narrative-wise and grammar-wise. So it is with all due respect that you remove it if you can. Thank you.”

“your second point is a 20 year old discussion amongst Pokémon fans I won’t have again, I am one of the people who capitalized the name of the Pokémon as that’s what the games do. I just draw the line at all caps like the game. Also I find it odd that English is the odd language out on putting caps on most nouns anyway.”

“I take anything I write seriously, but the fact of the matter is that I own nothing in this story, and have no chance of copyright or publishing. Therefore, I lack the obsessive need to go back and change everything that isn’t perfectly executed. If the intention of your criticisms thus far has been to get me to alter my work (or fun- it’s a matter of perspective, don’t you think?) for the better, I really am sorry- it’s after the fact at that point, and I have no motivation to get off my ass and fix stuff.”

Also, an 11 year old throws a tantrum when I tell them I can’t understand them because they’re dropping punctuation like it’s going out of style. You see, “my leel on english is 13/24 year olds writing” so clearly I must be the one spouting gibberish.
