An author I liked before posted a new story! Pickings were otherwise pretty average. Even our token pokescrewing fic is only moderately creepy. There is one weird thing about the gods acting like high schoolers, though.

The Other Pokeauthors, Part 131
“I have seen that you also use bad grammar yourself, you hypocrite […] you use “I’m” instead of “I am” and “don’t” instead of “do not” to give mention to your poor grammar, as well as you typing “pokemon” when it should be spelt “Pokémon” (capital “P” and a “é” instead of an “e”).”

Mostly appreciative, one really tepid revenge review.

Someone’s frustrated by Hybrid bringing drama. Responses are otherwise appreciative.

A neat oneshot about the Lake fairies, a decent SuMo novelization, and a lot of incoherence.

Good responses today.

An interesting fic from a voltorb’s perspective, and a story with a paralyzed protagonist that completely glosses over all the challenges this would imply.

“I think you’re reffering to the fact I use dashes instead of quotations. That’s my languages way of speaking. Again, I couldn’t be and I can’t be bethoered to change everything. Besides, When I read my first fanfiction in english I had zero problemns adapting my sense of interpretation, so I don’t see why you and other people can’t do the same.” Why do people do this?

“I think that I should challenge the Elite Four,” she had told them, “After all it was what I set out to do, and it is why I continue to push forward,” Valerie stared at the intelligent faces surrounding her, “However, there’s always a chance that you won’t make it,” Her eyes began to sting, memories of the most recent death threatening to push free of her eyes. She fought them back and continued, “I won’t force any of you to fight in those conditions,” Here she took a deep breath she had thought about this for awhile now, “If you would like to back out now, I offer you the opportunity to leave. You can stay in the PC, or even return to your wild homes. I won’t make you fight, and I won’t hate you for leaving,” Valerie’s vision began to blur, and she was staring at her legs, travel worn and strong. She felt a touch from one of her pokemon, and looked up, without fail each pokemon looked her in the eye, and stepped forward, ready to help her achieve her goals.
Nuzlocke authors continue to not understand you can’t transplant epic fantasy stakes into a sports anime.

“How sad for you. Like any competitive sport, there is a stake, even if it isn’t saving the wold from an all powerful world ending evil.”
This was in response to me saying it’s wrong to kill people to win a tournament.

A “Team Plasma wins” AU that may not be completely awful, a poke-empath who actually focuses on helping pokemon, and a few other semi-interesting things.

Almost entirely positive! It’s a shame they also got tantrum reviews from Hybrid/Sevenways. (more…)
