A Black/White novelization, a fic about how pokephiliacs are just as oppressed as gay people, and something about the legendaries that might have been interesting if it hadn’t used stream-of-consciousness as an excuse for incoherence. Also, a lot of anime fic.

[30] The Other Pokereviews, Part 68
Basically everything today was incoherent or anime fic, but there is a Nuzlocke with a pokemon whisperer protagonist. No deaths yet, but that promises to be a ride.
[10] The Other Pokereviews, Part 67
Short post today, things have been busy.
The Journey of “The Journey of Aura: Kalos Saga”, Part 3: The Journey of Aura: Kalos Saga
Although the Lucki reviews were never completed, I’d already written up my side of the reviews and finally got tired of waiting, so I posted them to the fic.
For those of you here who object to the standard model of reviews, these are in-depth, copypasta-free reviews that I went very far out of my way to tailor to the author.
[28] The Other Pokereviews, Part 66
One decentish fic about Dawn rescuing Cyrus from the Distortion World, and yet another fic where the legendaries are a divine bureaucracy.
[25] The Other Pokereviews, Part 65
A lot of weird nonsense, but not much of interest. There is one B/W novelization that claims the main character will get the ability to understand pokemon, but the first chapter ends before that happens.
[23] The Other Pokereviews, Part 64
Today we have a SYOC fic with a ridiculously detailed form but no story content, a short fic about Hau with a conspicuous absence of Lillie, and Pokemon Revolution.
[25] The Other Pokereviews, Part 63
Today we have a Guzma origin story that makes him the privileged Z-user; a gay love story that spends a page tooting its horn about how it’s God’s gift to the queer community; and a well-written Nuzlocke fic that somehow manages to make everyone look even more horrible than normal. Also, someone writes a gigantic rant about me in their author’s note instead of just blocking me.
[25] The Other Pokereviews, Part 62
A lot of people messing up their verb tenses today. But we’ve got a few decent concepts, including a fic about Leaf that isn’t terrible.
[25] The Other Pokereviews, Part 61
A kid who can talk to pokemon feels such a kinship with them he feels more human than pokemon but still decides to beat them up for personal glory, because people are terrible.
[25] The Other Pokereviews, Part 60
A postgame fic about Lillie and Lusamine, an extra unhealthy N romance fic, and a fic that makes Leaf a nauseatingly stereotypical shrinking violet and then calls everyone sexist for ignoring her. Also, a whole lot of trainers screwing their pokemon.
[25] The Other Pokereviews, Part 58
Found a semi-decent “pokemon become real” fic. Sadly, it was by a gun nut, so it spends all its time on irrelevant minutiae.
[25] The Other Pokereviews, Part 57
Today we have a Nuzlocke fic that is not completely horrible! I am cautiously optimistic.
[25] The Other Pokereviews, Part 56
Today we have a male self-insert/gardevoir romance that manages to make the gardevoir the rapey one! Truly, it can always get worse.
[25] The Other Pokereviews, Part 55
“[Hilda] was […] always kind to strangers and making sure her Pokemon wanted to travel with her and battle on her behalf.” An N shipping fic that actually brings up the pokemon treatment issue, but obviously doesn’t go far enough. We also got another one of those totally realistic technobabble fics, and a hilariously over-the-top sue.
