Some decent stuff today, including a pretty interesting anime AU where Ash is raised by Mewtwo. Most of the trainer fic also at least has nonstandard openings. There is, however, a lot of weirdness around pokemon treatment, including a heartwarming story about a guy using his brother’s ghost for dogfighting.
Anime: 17
A lot of decent but not terribly remarkable stuff. Also, another fic of humans in pokemon costumes.
Anime: 12
“Let me make it clear now that if you do CTRL+F, I only used an exclamation point ONCE, and that wasn’t even a combination with CAPS LOCK. I only use CAPS LOCK when I’m angry or want to prove a point. In this case, I wanted to prove a point. I was ARGUING, not SCREAMING. I’m not upset at all. I will be upset if you review my story again. If that happens, then I WILL BLOCK YOU. NO QUESTIONS ASKED.”
Most people were actually nice, though.
A story where pokemorphs coexist with various civil rights movements without there being the slightest connection, one where cutting edge technology lets battles be even more boring, porn, Hala using the tapu to victimblame, extremely dubious car-related events, and various crimes against punctuation.
Arg, something messed up and the document reset, so I may have lost some reviews. Edit: okay, found the original, none were lost!
And now it’s reply time! Some authors are angry. Some authors are fine. Some third parties are not okay with some authors being fine and would rather insist they’re idiots who can never improve, and somehow that makes me the terrible one.
A reasonably varied bunch! Also, the counter-reviews are getting particularly mad. (more…)
A lot of grammar errors but some rather unorthodox first-pokemon-gettings as well, including one where the pokemon gets to have a name of their own. Also, a straight up isekai fic and it doesn’t even involve better!Ash.
A PMD fic that actually kept my attention!

This is terrific. (more…)
Lot of fic that isn’t really fic. (more…)
A shiny gardevoir pokefucking fic. Several outright disasters. Some that sort of but don’t quite work without more polish, and one that actually got polished up.
Bunch of people tripping over their attempts at realism, an increasing amount of stuff that’s just humans having relationship drama, and a fic about something horrifying that apparently happened in the anime after I stopped watching. (more…)
And now, the finish! (more…)
