Mostly boring, though someone had the same idea as me and named their sylveon Oberon and Titania. We end with what looks like a really good OT fic, except for the fact that battles are gruesome and deadly and no one seems to care.

[39] The Other Pokereviews, Part 127
A very decent OT fic that sadly does not show any indication of being in it for the long haul, a moemon fic that appears to not be porn, a fic about how hard it is to be persecuted for wanting to screw your property, a fic that just describes a game battle, and finishing off with a cool what-if where Mewtwo wasn’t abused.

In which someone uses finally uses “they” pronouns for a legendary. We also get an idiot mad scientist who sees no downside to making a supersoldier that hates him. One of these days I’d like to see one of those stories where they don’t abuse the experimental monster, just for the novelty.

Today there’s a a fic that plays out the scene from Unoriginality 30 almost verbatim with absolutely no trace of irony.

A great surreal SuMo novelization today, and a HGSS adaptation that was good up until it started talking about how funny it was the trainer’s pokemon didn’t want to get beaten into the pavement for his personal glory because pokemon don’t get to have opinions. I also read through one of the more coherent pokescrewing fics just to complain about the biology.

A neat take on the Giratina battle in Platinum, an OT fic that actually looks decent, and a story about pokemon rescuing abused trainer pokemon where the pokemon all act like humans.

Some decent trainer stories, some less decent trainer stories, and a story about the SuMo protagonist being an eldritch monstrosity! Unfortunately it is not clear where it’s going with it.

Another Biblepunk thing, and a lot of standard mediocrity. But in brighter news, a journeyfic that actually looks fun and good!

[16] The Other Pokereviews, Part 114
I’m seeing concrit reviews on stories for the first time in a while! I was able to skip some stories because of this.
Several weird entries today, including one thing that was just a religious pitch. Actual stories include an OT fic about Lysandre’s son that does not appear to be using Lysandre in any meaningful capacity, two shinies, and a grimdark Nuzlocke that actually looks pretty decent.
