NaRe2022 Day 6 (18+1)

A lot of stuff centered around Ash and the early season, with even the one that’s about Ash starting in Kalos and the inevitable betrayal-Ash fic both involved emphasis on how many seasons of adventures he’s already had. Possibly the modern accessibility of shows means that the newest fans coming in are now watching from the start again.

Also, yet another quirky character specializing in something else entirely and who clearly had no interest in pokemon battling somehow changing their mind and becoming a great trainer.

NaRe Day 4 (16)

As an overall theme, people not really getting the concept of a hook, whether the issue is about failing to deliver on what’s brought up in their summary, failing to deliver on what’s brought up in their first chapter, or failing to even have anything to fail to deliver on.

Also, a smattering of uncomfortable sexual issues of the authors.

NaRe Day 5 (26)

A weird (inadvertantly?) pro-British-Empire-Monarchy fic, a lot of people writing like they’re directing an episode, so much unnecessary and shoddily included religion, yet another fic where a guy is fucking a gardevoir and neither seem concerned she has zero legal rights but this time they’re also apparently fine with that applying to their kid too, a bunch of terrible science, and something with the Dragon Clan that could’ve been interesting but just squanders everything.

Week 1 Pokereviews!

None had reviews when I began and I suspected those are going to be quite thin on the ground throughout the month, so I’ll be noting it if it’s true but not putting down zeros.

This week: still doing “but N! you participate in society! I am very clever!”, still doing redos of Ash’s first day without paying attention to any of the details, still thinking it’s a good idea to throw in talking pokemon, and still terrible porn, but isekais are now giving the self-insert an in-universe backstory as well for maximum boring and people are using AI so their stories can be worse faster.
