>>59678583Reading fanfiction.I appreciate when an author attempts to integrate or reconstruct elements of the setting in a manner that is internally consistent. To expand on what that other anon said, humans haven't actually been confirmed as having a type at all and are generally implied to be a different sort of being from pokémon. They don't evolve, but still experience significant physical changes over their lifespan, don't tap into universal pokespeech like pokémon (N excepted) and aren't depicted as ever using "moves" like a pokémon does. However if an author wants to start from the premise that humans are pokémon and thus have a type, normal type is a bad choice. Rather than reiterating why it's a bad fit mechanically, I'll put it a different way: humans having normal typing restricts their ability to interact with ghost-types and ghost-types moves unnecessarily. It creates a narrative restriction where there previously was none, that either must be explained or avoided. If it isn't, it creates cognitive dissonance and brings the audience out of the story. Many explanations for it are also bad or counterproductive. For example, you have decided to make humans pokémon in your interpretation of the setting to make it so they aren't a special existence, just a part of nature like everything else. If you make them normal type, but allow them to get soul drained by ghosts or whatever, you must explain what makes them special compared to other normal types, undermining the whole point of making humans not special to begin with. If you make that a universal trait of ghost types, you undermine one of the most famous and notable aspects of normal typing, thus making the audience wonder why you chose to do it at all. Indeed, if you avoid the ghost question entirely, why bother making humans normal type?If you aren't interested in thinking about and discussing choices you make while writing, what are you even doing in a fanfic thread?
>>59678707Ghost types have Target Rings to hit Normal types
>>59678730Ring target only affects the holder, no? Or is that why you switched the order?
>>59678738They use Trick first
>>59678546>TQExperimental weaponry to counter pokemon as their own class, next to armored and personel weapons.One concept I've been thinking of: Overload weapons. Pokemon are hit with special Infinity Energy rays which interact with their life force and at first increase their stats and abilities, but also the stress their bodies have to endure. Continued irradiation increases the stress, until it reaches a point when their bodies can no longer deal with such high amounts of energy, resulting in a collapse or organ failure. Results vary, depending how resistant individual pokemon are. Aside from the risk of enchancing the enemy, it's a versatile weapon which can be virtually used against any pokemon, as long as risks are assessed accordingly.>>59678563>because everything else wouldn't workConventional weaponry has its use, but it's limited due to pokemon abilities or other perks.

>>59678751Yeah, but what about dream eater? Wait no, I mean giga drain? Wait no I mean perish song? Wait no I mean lick? Yeah why are humans vulnerable to getting licked then, huh smart guy?

>>59679195From Origin of Species, which has a shitload of them: “Correct,” Dr. Seward says with a smile. “If anything I imagine you could teach me a thing or two about better concentration. No, ‘Focusing’ is a technique designed by a man named Eugene Gendlin. He was one of the first humanistic therapists, and it’s meant to help people better understand themselves.”Red nods, feeling a mix of hope and wariness as he settles back against the couch. “Well, that sounds like the sort of thing I need, so I’ll try it.”Dr. Seward’s office has become familiar to him again over the past few months. He feels comfortable here, though not quite “at ease,” given that they often talk about difficult or sensitive topics, and at some point during a session he knows he’ll be asked to bring his partition down...“So, first some background,” Dr. Seward says. “There are a lot of different lenses, or models, through which you can view yourself, and your mind, and how you make decisions. In the Focusing model, it can help to think of yourself as the executive decision maker who has a council of advisers. There are many of them, some obvious and some not, some internal and some external. Your past experiences, taken in total, can be conceptualized to make up one, perhaps even your most important one, or most commonly used. But it’s not alone... And they can be divided up; maybe some of your past experiences differ from others, so you’d have two advisers giving you different advice. Is this tracking so far?”“I think so,” Red says. “Is this all to say that Past and Future Red are just advisers like any others?”“No, though that’s one lens you can take. Focusing is more about advisers you aren’t aware that you have.”

I split in two the wip i have, for anyone who's curious this part is proofread but i'm still not sure about a couple of things, which i marked on it.https://rentry.org/penfriends10Might also contain more small errors and typos than usual since i haven't read it enough times to catch themI'm not sure i wanna post the rest yet because it's not proofread so it's kinda bad as a whole right now (i'm using proofread, but it's a light word, it's still in the stage where i might change a lot of things to make it flow better) but i could if you really want. It just stops right before the smut, which i haven't fully written yet and is gonna be in the chapter right after so there's that i guessI'll post everything on ao3 when i'm done of course
>>59679195>I feel like I am not worthy of the title of Warrior of Light. Garland was much more suited to the role before he was corrupted and now I've simply been given the mantle as people's only hope for the future. But his fall was also in part my fault, so I've essentially stolen his destin->Sir, I'm a psychiatrist not a therapist. Do you want the adderall or not?>Actually that would be for me, thanks~
>>59679195The therapist would bring in all those who did the MC wrong and allow him to torture them all to death. The therapist would also have a ghost type on hand to capture their souls so they can be tortured even after death.
>>59679195Getting slapped by somebody who he hasn't even seen in months, who breaks down crying and bitching what a pain it's been to track him down, then realizing at his lowest there are still people who the MC matters to.

So what's the difference between canon MC with a different characterization in fanfics and cool edgy OC SI that is totally better than anyone and still does the same shit the canon MC did when the story is based in the same timeline instead of the future?
>>59680252The narrative bends so the SI is always winning, even when they’re losing. >Everyone in the world must play by certain rules>But my OC donut steal doesn’t play by those rules! Everyone else suffers the consequences!>All members of the gender my SI is attracted to creams themselves becauuse of thisMany such cases.
>>59679659I started doing some editing and suggestions on the first POV segment, since you asked for proofreading last time. I'll do more later.https://rentry.co/b38h7daz
>>59680262The anime and to a lesser extent the games already do this though, Ash breaks the rules constantly and the games only let you and cynthia have affection mechanics. And don't even get me started on pokespe's cool edgy OC SI superpowers.
>>59680284>have affection mechanicsThe DLC proved that it was less about that and more about destiny and the universe itself bending over for the PC, Kiki got mindbroken so fucking hard he went back to his cuckself
>>59680290The only thing it proved was kiki fit the redditor "nice guy who was only ever nice because he thought being nice was a transaction with a reward waiting for him only to go psychotic when said reward never happened" stereotype
>>59680295Nigga, his pokeball failed at the last second because Arceus didn't want him to get one over their child of destiny
>>59680300He got vibechecked hard by the turtle. Should've taken a note from the PC and kept his head empty of all thoughts. Can't be rejected by a legendary for bad thoughts if you have none.
>>59680300Sparta digits says you're right
>>59680284I don't think people being able to understand pokespeak is all that special in pokemon special, it's just a thing people are born with. Some get more generalized psychic powers, some are good at healing pokemon.Now compare that to Lee and Si-lver.
>realizes that if I create a work with the philosophy of it being fiction within the World of Pokemon itself I can put the most region specific Pokemon possible (the Island Guardians of Alola, and possibly the Galardogs?) anywhere on the big map the same way every Fantasy fiction slaps Fenrirs and Minotaurs every fuckall cornerFeels good expanding my options.
>a character that you liked but died in his canon series was saved thanks to some random ultra wormhole and now they're fallers in Pokémon There, a way to make a crossover work
>>59680390>Now compare that to Lee and Si-lver.Both have Giratina backing them up?
>>59680541if your mc doesn't even have a giratina sugar daddy are they really an mc
>>59680558Being on Giratina's leash sounds like a doomed beta MC scenario, especially if they're constantly being watched like SI-lver. Honestly any of the big 4 sound like a doomed scenario, unless it's Arceus: Slut for BHC version.I've got my MC backed by Jirachi. Just detached enough to not suppress the MC if they get too strong, but also powerful and supportive enough for the backing to matter.
>>59678546>"Honey wasn't a Trainer initially, but after spending time with Mustard, she tried it out on a whim. She quickly developed a talent for battle, and the rumor among dojo students is that she may even be on par with Mustard himself. Thanks to taking care of very powerful Pokémon at the dojo, Honey has also gained a lot of physical strength of her own. Now she can handle even powerful Pokémon, like Gallade."How is she so FUARKING STRONG?? She goes from CEO to matching a high-tier Champion trainer on a whim? And she can spar with a fighting type with BLADES for elbows with her bare hands?
>>59680577I swear there's an anime with that same plot

>>59680577>be me>get isekai'd into the pokemon world as a hot chick>use my game knowledge to become super rich as I plan to take over the world>seduce the strongest trainer in the region, the champion, to consolidate my power>impress him with my 'talent' by using my vast pokemon knowledge to nearly beat him despite never having battled before>lose to martial arts cock and fry my brain a little>a little bimbofication is a minor setback, we can still take over the wor->shit, he isn't champion anymore. We can just move on to the next champ->fuck I can't leave this cock just thinking about it makes me feel pregnant>no no no I'm actually pregnant>kid turns out to be a genius, but after several years of champion dick I just don't care about ruling the world anymore

>>59680274I love you so much (in a platonic way), this is gonna be very useful to get better at writing for me. Thank you.
But how does Minimize work atomically? And what IS a Substitute?
>>59680864Minimize shrink the space between atoms by reducing their magnetic push.Substitute is a doll made of hp, so it's a physical manifestation of infinity energy.
304 out of 442 pages proof read.I'm at the part of the story where I felt the pacing was a bit too fast, but I can't think of a good way to slow it down without bogging down an already long chapter.Is it too dull when a plan actually comes together as planned? Sometimes crazy ideas just need to work.
>>59680669Losing to old man cock makes you lower than dirt. You could have at least found a shota to groom.
>>59680955Do you ever read your posts out loud and realize what you have written?
>>59680669Basically all of my sexual fantasies boil down to me being Mustard)the old man in this scenario.
>>59680893You can split the chapter in two if you’re feeling that’s the best course of action. As for things going according to plan… As long as you introduce enough chaos to make it seem like things are off the rails, you’re good. But more importantly, trust your writer instinct. If it really doesn’t want to add time with setbacks that could be ultimately meaningless at the end of the day, listen to it. One thing that helps is just not revealing every step of the plan to the reader beforehand.
THE LEAGUE ISN'T THE GOVERMENT
Looks like Lotfi tried to dox Coldbringer and got the ban hammer for it.
>>59681117Context, it's been years since I left spacebattles and the faggots there seem to be even more crazy
>>59681120Lesbian obsessed black man known for writting self indulgent revenge fantasy titled "Juche Kaisen" (Worm/JJK) had a break up with his pedophile cowriter, a guy named Coldbringer who was big on the LitRPG subreddit.Lotfi tried to dox Coldbringer and blackmail him, now he's banned from Spacebattles and is only active on Sufficient Velocity and Royal Road.Even before this he was on an extended hiatus.
>>59680820Finished the editing pass, plus a few more comments and suggestions along the way.https://rentry.co/b38h7dazThe fight choreography was pretty good, I could tell what you wanted to do with it, where things were intended to be. The wording and order were just a little awkward.Leo so wants to bang Alice's mom. I know he's probably intended to get together with Alice later, but I ship him more as her new dad.
>>59681123Sounds wild, so the cold guy was a LitRPG writer or just some reviewfag?Also, can we make LitRPG stuff work in a Pokémon story? You can easily do cultivation
>>59681139Both, he co write some LitRPG cultivation stuff with Lotfi on RoyalRoad, part of their breakup was over where they wanted to take the story, yuri or harem. A mod from the Litrpg subreddit also got ousted over it. The name of their other fic was Eternal Star, it's cultivation slop.But yeah most pokemon stories are light cultivation anyways, just look at Borne of Caution.
>>59681139I've read a few things that take the RPG mechanics seriously.'You Ever Try Competitive?' was terrible, but more in a character writing, plot writing, and... writing in general sense, rather than the battles. The battles were fine.'When I Win the World Ends' framed the turn-based stuff as an in-universe game to prevent Pokémon battling from becoming a blood sport. Again, the battles were fine.Based on these two data points, I'm gonna conclude that genre is subjective and the important point is knowing how to write an Arceus-damned sentence without making the reader's eyes bleed.
>>59680955The implication is that they married when he wasn't an old man yet.
>>59681155>The important point is knowing how to write an Arceus-damned sentence without making the reader's eyes bleed.Note, many people fail this step.

>>59681442How do you even fuck up a city wide battleroyal tournament?
>>59681451Name a fic that's pulled off a tournament arc well, then take that tournament and make it 80% of the fic's length. Even GF got sick of the tedium and has your character skip half the ranks anyways.
>>59681457Also Fate is/was basically a battleroyal tournament arc
Could you write a chapter consisting of only dialogue in a single location?
>>59681477I basically did this once as an exercise between Rodimus Prime and Optimus. Though there was narration of their actions, you could probably strip it and the dialogue would function well enough to tell the story.
>>59681477Yes, it's way easier than writing action.
>>59681472>Name a fic
>>59681477Done it multiple times. Usually requires a lot of build up.
>>59681489Fate is a fic tho?
>>59681495Seinfeld does it all the time
>>59681477A few chapters of PokeNormal are this with a few extra scenes added. Since its a detective story there are going to be times where the characters just sit around trying to piece together the logic of the situation. I try to make thr 'just yapping' scenes interesting with character interaction and people heave commented about being surprised by how interesting the scenes that are just talking can be.
>>59681457I wrote a one off that was just a single chapter from an implied 'tournament fic' since this conversation has been had before. I've always considered writing the rest of the fic surrounding it but its low priority.
>>59681013This chapter could be three chapters, but I'm using a day format for my breaks. I don't like the idea of "Day 34 Part 1, 2, 3".It's just a very eventful, extremely chaotic day.
fresh fanfic drama from spacebattlesAfter his autism rage, he has been axed after years of fic writing lol
>>59681702one more for fun coping
>>59681707>>59681702Makes me wonder what information of Coldbringer did he actually post?
Yeah, but spacebattles has always been a nepotism dicksucking thread since the 10s or so when the owner changed... Huh, sounds familiar.
>>59681744*SiteI fucked up there
>>59681129I disagree with a couple corrections that i will either fix another way or not fix, but you are the best and i appreciate your gift a lot because the remaining 95% is the kind of correction i can learn from, expecially the commas.The "leftover code" i actually put in to delineate the parts that didn't convince me.Also thank you, i was satisfied myself with the fight, but hearing it's good feels good and with the edits you suggested it's gonna be even betterAnd well, one is bipedal and tall, while the other is still tiny and on all fours... but yeah, it's gonna be a matter of who gets to spend more time with him together with a couple spoiler moments. I also have plans for all three pokemon so they won't end up single and unbred
>>59678546Aura really looks like something to use with guns
>>59680577Canonically she spent more time with this stuff than the player character AND the player still won. So, who's the real talent here?Now, you could argue that she was holding back because she was using a Bulbasaur/Squirtle she raised like 10 hours ago as her trump card.
>>59682016The child of Arceus will always be superior, almost, like they're the hero of a story...he was right all along btw
>>59682028Good thing everything after generation 2 isn't canon.
>>59682028What's wrong with getting critical hits specifically? There's many things that increase their chances, someone that got a bit too deep into battling like Kieran should know this.
>>59681848Anytime, penfriend. As long as I'm paying attention and see the rentry post, anyways.

You know I've never really thought about it before but Weepinbell's got some serious DSLs going on
>>59678546Would it be weird if I make the Pokemon world have the same movies, books and TV shows from our world?
>>59682781not really
>>59682781Mario is directly mentioned in one of the games so it's entirely possible for other media to exist.
>>59682781Make it a knockoff, that's funnier.I wanted to reference Akira, but doing it straight felt weird – so I used Bartkira instead. Pokéworld is wacky enough that Akira with Simpsons characters feels almost more appropriate, heh.
>>59682028Was Hyde from Po Town based on Kieran or just coincidence?
>>59682028This kid lives in my head rent-free because I've got an OC named Kiki and I associate her with things that should NEVER cross over with casual Pokemon discussion. Seeing his nickname pop up in the wild stops me dead every time.
>>59683305No, because I never played the SV DLC. Chapter 1 it’s referenced Ian was playing the DLC, which was sort of my way of saying “the MC has limited meta-knowledge when it comes to this specific thing.”Hyde using EXP Candies was my way of him using Ian’s meta-knowledge against him. I also take way too much enjoyment of meta-knowledge actively backfiring on Ian.
>>59682507Good, now read Within our Nation: https://archiveofourown.org/works/65797807/chapters/169466227#main

Aw geez, i've had my protagonists eat lunch two times and i built scenes on both and used it for time of day on the wip... I'm making the first a break for brunch, would it be strange to have that for a gym leader?
>>59684391Only British and gay people have brunch
>>59684469>The term "brunch" was first used by British writer Guy Beringer in his 1895 essay "Brunch: A Plea," published in Hunter's Weekly, where he proposed it as a leisurely and more sociable alternative to traditional Sunday meals. Brunch was popularized in the early 20th century in the United States, where it first appeared in New Orleans in the late 1890s, and became a staple of upper-class dining culture in New York City in the early 1920s.yeah nah guess you're a fag, pal

How big of an appetite does your MC have?
>>59684747Bullemic unless it's concerning Suicune semen, in which case his appetite is ravenous.
>>59684747He's a big guy, for you.>>59684391He missed a meal because of the forest incident, so he needs to recoup his nutrition counts.

You know people have said SELLOUTS is WORM but really I think Spice and Fox is WORM. It even has the double space after a sentence thingy WORM has.
>>59678546How legal is this battle strategy?
>>59685227> It even has the double space after a sentence thingy WORM has.I think when I was like 7 or 8 I was shown how to write on a typewriter and you did double spaces on those. Force of habit. Cue the oldfag accusations.

Any fics about fucking a Metagross?
>>59686728How do you even manage to do that? They're literally a chunk of steel!
>>59686770They've got a mouth. They use it to prey whilst they're still alive. I'm wondering if that could be put to better use sucking the all-natural protein shake out of my balls. It'd be pretty interesting to read about.
>>59681129By the way, i went over the heights in the first chapters, Leo is very tall at 185, Teo is 170 which is around the average jap (average non-aryan white), pokemon are game sized so Lucy is 120 and zoromom is 160.And since they're game sized you can use the veekun height thing for hug proportion, which is kinda cool.
Which threadfic MCs could yours beat in a fist fight
>>59687033Do they have free will? If not Andrew clears.
>>59687033I'm pretty sure everyone could beat the shit out of Kuzey. So he goes to the bottom of the list (his favoriteposition no doubt.)But who could beat Daria? Wol maybe if he's angry enough and in his darkest moment morality wise?
>>59687185I haven't got that far in IMO yet so I can't properly scale Daria. I have a feeling that both Tobio and Josalyn get no diffed by her. Tobio talks himself up as a tough guy but we've actually seen him in a brawl.
>>59687241She unironically turns most of them into a thin red mist, Tobio and Josalyn would survive using cartoon logic.
>>59687033Francis is a larper who only looks intimidating, so he loses to most of them. Might give Will a fight due to mutual inexperience. Haven't read IMO or PokeNormal yet, but it sounds like the protags might be wimpy enough.Diego actually knows how to punch, so he might take down Will, but he stops at anyone equally or better trained, or supernatural. Doesn't have the experience.One is a Pokemon. She'll just electrocute them. Anyone with actual superpowers probably clears though.
>>59687033I think just about every one could toss Erika let alone beat her in a fight
Can you do it? Can you fuck Erika knowing that there's an anon inside that body?

>>59687695Well one is ultra, that means it's better
>>59687776>bug chaserlol ok
>>59687695>STDsCaused from powers of the Distortion World (Giratina) disrupting the balance of space-time. Most pronounced version of this is the Space-Time Rift in Legends Arceus. I dislike that STDs were in the postgame of Legends Arceus story-wise, but they make sense gameplay-wise.>Ultra WormholeSeems to follow appearances of Cosmog in the canon. Cosmog spawns at the Lake of the Sunne/Moone under certain circumstances (was in the Crown Tundra for whatever reason and UBs popped up in the Dynamax Adventure thing after a point). Anyone who goes through an Ultra Wormhole tends to lose their memory once they reach the other side of the wormhole (except the SM protag with Lillie, Guzma, and Lusamine, but might've been under special circmstances). I've done way too much research on these.>t.Pofag

The only time I write is in my mind right before I sleep.
>>59687775I never got into WORM, is it just edgy spider man boss girl?
>>59678546What's the weirdest idea for a Pokemon fic you ever had?I have thought of an alien race having a debate on whether or not exterminate all humans so Pokemon creatures could prosper
>>59688088High school chud girl lost her mom and gets relentlessly bullied at school. One day when getting bullied she awakens superpowers, but instead of going the school shooter route she decides she wants to kill herself being a hero instead. She ends up joining a team of teen supervillains because she plans to turn them in but becomes more of a villain because she's a chud that distrusts authority.Everything goes to shit around her, constantly, in an increasingly escalating manner and she has to make do with the ability to control bugs and her own cleverness. It's kino.
>>59688088It's abysmal. If you've ever dredged modern cape comic books and noticed they're mostly soap operas with costumes, that's Worm. It's all contrived drama. The cast is aggressively unlikeable and allergic to good decisions, but not in a funny way
>>59688155To be fair the nature of their superpowers make them literally allergic to good decisions
>>59687571Mmm, a very good idea. I'm partial to the insectoid and arachnid species, personally, and think that Pokemon would be much better if most bug types forcibly laid eggs in your pussy and/or ass every 5 thousand... no, hundred steps, and your character is heavily pregnant for exactly 498 steps, then gave birth on the 499th.
>>59688088It's good early on. Probably the best cape setting. I dropped it around the clone arc and never picked it back up.
>>59682781FRLG mentions Stand By Me and Wizard of Oz, and one of the official pokemon music videos even has a painted version of stand by me
>>59688112you don't know what the word chud means you retard. No wonder no one in these threads can write.
>>59688271I don't write regardless of knowing the etymology and definition of chud.
How do you explain genitals not showing up?
>>59688330Why wouldnt they show up? Just don't draw attention to their presence same way you dont describe your mc shitting and wiping his ass imperfectly
>>59687554Have you considered turning your passion into art yet. Write fanfics of the threadfics doing exactly that
>>59688330Fur covers everything.
>>59688107>What's the weirdest idea for a Pokemon fic you ever had?Pokémon Pokémon trainer, the trainer themselves is a Pokémon trying to fulfill the wish of their dying master that is sickly and unable to go on their own adventure, so their last wish is for their only partner to go on that adventure on their insteadI guess I only really thought of the premise and of the main pokémon that would participate, I can't really make the main story work besides it just being an overrall adventure like any other human-centric fic just with prejudice from a lot of people and pokémon themselves in the world, maybe a bit of commentary on what truly separates humans and pokémon in the world and how that would change battles and what is legal to be a trainer

>>59688350I write, but I respect thread anons enough not to molest their characters without their permission. Erika just gets mentioned because she is both technically not an OC and also already 1/2 of my fetishes before I've even done anything.
>>59688107Pokemon Dissidia.Through a mysterious cataclysm surrounding a man named Cid and the ancient dragon Shinryu, the realm of the gods Cosmos and Chaos has been destroyed, their eternal conflict abruptly ended. Before oblivion consumed them each, the deities split apart the shards of a mighty crystal from the heart of their world, and gave a piece to their champions, before flinging them into the first neighboring dimension they could reach.Thus, they all end up in the Pokemon world, scattered to every region. The gimmick in my head is each of them would bond with a Pokemon that is empowered by their crystal to become powerful enough to fight on their level, and the heroes of Cosmos have to find each other and rally to defend the world from the warriors of Chaos who all have their own designs to conquer/eradicate it. One mandatory glazing chapter where Red fights the FF villains on even ground despite their power boost.I don't know who the primary MC would be, though an ensemble cast is inevitable. I'm a little charmed by the notion of Cloud and a partner Doduo, though.
>>59688730It was originally a placeholder title but the author liked it so he kept it. Her actual villain name is Skitter. Spoilers at item #4 of pic related
>>59688330slits and fur covering what little is left visible
>>59688330They don't have, eggs just pop up next to Pokemon parents
>>59688860Cloud and Doduo make good sense for Mr. Chocobo Hair, but I've always had trouble picking a bird pokemon to be a Chocobo stand in because the double head always throws me off. Plus Bartz is the only MC (or character really) who has an iconic named chocobo so that's a hard split. Galarian Zapdos would be perfect, more for Cloud than Bartz, but it being a legendary sorta muddies that pick. A wolf pokemon would fit Cloud's post Advent Children motif, but I am struggling to think of any besides Zacian who would be great but again legendary. Plus OG cloud never really had the wolf thing going on.But there is something charming about Cloud and Doduo, and he is one of the few MCs depicted riding a chocobo in any of the art. Myself, as cliche as it might be, would pair icon with icon and give Cloud a Raichu. The yellow fits him, and thematically a Raichu that evolved before learning most of its Pikachu exclusive moves could go places. Does your concept focus solely on the core Dissidia staff, or would it include things like non-dissidia appearing characters?

>>59689604Nigga have you seen modern women?
>>59689604Fine parry, good sir. Then the next question becomes what has led to the wide scale pokefuck panic?
>>59689614
>>59689648Gardevoir doujinshi being sold in conventions
You know you have a great cast of characters when you can portray them as the original Star Wars trilogy cast
>Arceus A whore that gives a power up to almost anyone breaking the world's balance
>>59689640NTA but honestly very few of the FF villains have room to be redeemed, most of them are crazy psychos on power trips.Kuja could be redeemed, I suppose.
>>59689716Get to Sephiroth early enough in the timeline and you could maybe prevent his psychotic break.
>>59689716Well, there's Caius Ballad from XIII-2, like >>59689738 said Sephiroth before going crazy though that was bound to happen thanks to aayyy dna to be fair, Seifer was just a momma's boy and going by FFO just kill all Lufenians and almost every villain can be saved or stopped, fucking Lufenians
>>59689640>LycanrockI like it.As for the question, and loosely sticking to main villains...Garland - May have actually been redeemed depending on your interpretation of the ending, but friendship had nothingnto do with it.Golbez - Actually did get redeemed by the power of something pretty close to friendship. Sephiroth - Ignoring anything beyond the OG game, wouldn't work because of his superiority complex. He grew up a super soldier with no friends, so maybe if he had some things would have been different. Mentioned here because who knows what the other games added? I know he actually has friends but they seem to have their own issues.Kuja - Actually maaaybe could have as he's more of a tantruming child than anything. I feel like Zidane could have gotten through to him somehow.Jecht - Irredeemably evil. Seymour - Was too far gone, but him and a lot of villains I didn't mentioned feel like they could have never become villains if they actually had friends.Roagrimm - Elite ball knowledge. Straight up does get redeemed by the power of friendship. Also the only main FF11 villain I know the full story of as I'm not caught up on any of the expansions.Barthandelus - Lol. Lmao.Zenos - Friendship cannot help this man and in fact he is the only one on this list where friendship seems to actively make him worse.Caius - i never finished LR, I need to get to that someday. Lord Chaos - Spoiled brat who would eat his 'friends' before being redeemed. I just wanted to flex my obscure FF knowledge.Delita - and now to shame myself, I haven't beaten tactics yet.
>>59689716Depending who you consider the villain of Tactics Advance, Mewt could be. Delita isn't really a villain, but he could also be a redeemable Warrior of Chaos.
>>59689761>he actually has friends but they seem to have their own issuesiirc, his crash out was because they betrayed him. I think if anyone had a chance at getting through to him it would be redeemed Mewtwo.
>>59689648The women who weren't hunted as witches started it of course
>>59689761>Delita - and now to shame myself, I haven't beaten tactics yet.Whether he is a villain is debatable, but he never actually becomes an antagonist. For all his faults he pretty much leaves Ramza alone.The actual villain is the Lucavi leader. But they wouldn't make a very interesting Warrior of Chaos, so I think Chaos would choose Delita or Wiegraf instead as an iconic character from that game.
>>59689660Josalyn is Luke, Amore is Leia, Tobio is Han, Poochyena is Chewie, ______ as Obi Wan, Spoiler as Darth Vader. Probably Trace would make more sense for Luke, and Mr. Fuji could also be Obi Wan. I just think a Raticate with bun hair is fun.
>>59689703These are champion level trainers though aren't they? Whats their max level teams?
>>59689763Oh, how could I forget Marche?
>>59689794Warrior of Chaos Marche fighting to get home even at the cost of destroying the world vs Warrior or Cosmos Ramza trying to save it, but they look identical for unclear reasons and have the same starter, so people keep mistaking them for each other.
>>59689660>>59689786What about the Prequel cast?
>>59689789Define champion level, despite whatever the fuck GF is saying nowadays Jeeta was a fucking fraud until the DLC and so was Diantha, Alola never had a league either so champion level doesn't count unless you're some scalingsissy instead of a FeatsGod tho the US/UM PCs did beat a lot of people and legendaries including Red, Cynthia and Wally I guess
>>59689703>son of Aether Foundation president>grandson of Melemele Island kahunaNepotism-ceus
>>59689802if there's a fic with a JarJar-like character, I'm instantly reading it
>>59689810That depends, are you a believer?
>>59689797Ramza and Cloud could be good early deuteragonists since they met already.
>>59689804>Define champion levelHave pokemon with levels that are at or above the champion's pokemon.On that note thank you for the new head canon. You've just inspired me to now consider the MCs of each game to inspire those they meet on their journey and thus an explosion of champion level trainers occurs. This explains why post game are that much harder, and why Paldea has so many champions. This has occured so often in different regions combined with the concept of Standing on the Shoulders of Giants that they just started making it a rank instead of a title. So Arven and Penny are on par with Red and Blue when they fought in Gen 1, but just like the olympics have escalated over the years so has pokemon training.

>>59689814Are there any Pokemon fics where the cast clown is the big bad?
>>59689902Primeape
>>59689761>Jecht - Irredeemably evil.bruh whatA poor father? Yeah. Irredeemably evil? Nah.
>>59689761>>59689966Yeah, like didn't he love Tidus deep, deep, down?
this is how an isekaijin talking about Arceus to a Sinnohnian feels like
>>59689981Yeah he did, he was just a drunk narcissistic celebrity athlete that came to regret it.In fact Tidus' mom was actually less loving than Jecht, she would straight up ignore him if Jecht was home and Jecht didn't tell her to pay attention to her son.Like, he wasn't a good dad but he wasn't evil.
>>59689966>>59689981I thought that him being literally just an unquestionably good guy that the joke of calling him the worst of the bunch would be obvious. I blame both your and my autism.
>>59689902Swoobat.
>>59689988I like to think only a minority of the population are obsessed with Pokemon battles, the rest are just normal average people who sees them as a sport
>>59689995I'm sorry anon, I read things literally.Sarcasm doesn't exist unless spoken, my brother in retardation.
>>59689995It's 2026 bro, we don't know when someone's serious or not.People still blame Marche over trying to go back to his world and family even if his brother all the attention
>>59690014*Brother took all the attention I'm retarded
>>59690014I think the Marche argument is more that he's willing to sacrifice an entire alternate reality of sentient beings to do so, including his friends and allies in the Clan. This ends up not being true, but literally no one knows that until after.Granted, Mewt's fantasy world also killed all the school bullies and turned them into eternally tormented zombies. So there is also the argument Marche was right to fight for everyone who got Thanos snappef, killed off or turned into monsters.
>>59689995Don't worry anon, I got your joke. A guy who picks a Pokemon that reminds him of his son can't be ALL bad.
Never got into FF, too fantastic
>>59690186That was the point, yes. I do like its science fantasy more than pure "medieval" fantasy like DQ tho
>>59690082Yeah, the world is a fake illusion world that is slowly draining their life force I believe.
I haven't read SELLOUTS yet, how similar is it to pic related?
>>59690249Nah, it's more like Twin Peaks Season 3 by way of Blood Meridian.
Am I the only one who refuses to read anything related to Mystery Dungeon?
>>59690271Yes, there isn't a single other person in the world who has preferences. You're very special.
>>59690281good, I'm one in a krillion
>>59690271I'm aware of A Million Miles and CC. Are there any more PMD threadfics? I also recall Lonesome No More and Whereabouts Unkown from the same author.Anyway, is it cus you find PMD is lame?
>>59690239More the creature who made it is. The postgame happens and it seems the world carries on fine with the kids coming and going freely. Demiurge Remedi was the only real issue.
>>59689902Sableye.He would then starve because he won't eat the precious gems.
>>59690253It insists upon itself
>>59690271No, else PMD storiess would have way higher veie counts. Only PMD stories I’ve read are Ears and Crazed Creation.
Are we ever getting a real space story without dindu noffing loansharks and evil team leaders that tried to destroy the world?
>>59690429No, but I had floating ideas for a fic around the Pokestar ninja movie, with the protagonist's Sneasel being the main POV character and exploring what life is like for a Pokemon actor.
>>59689949Will>>59689998Tobio>>59690363Yaldabaoth
>>59690271Shame about losing you when Tobio gets Isekai'd to the Mystery Dungeon universe.
>>59687286Actually PokeNormal is a pretty grounded setting, the characters don't work on cartoon logic. That just might not be immediately apparent because the story is specifically about supernatural events.
>>59690494>the characters don't work on cartoon logicYou mean they can't tank a hyperbeam to the face?
>>59690486Actually Tobio is Murkrow.
>>59690496That really depends on how Hyperbeams work. Since I've had to think about it because you asked in PokeNormal hyperbeam works like Cyclops kinetic energy eye beams. AKA, blunt force lasers.
>>59690294I'm fairly confident that hardly anyone in this thread has read the 1/3 draft I posted of A Million Miles Away months ago.
>>59690504>hyperbeam works like Cyclops kinetic energy eye beams.Uhhh... Cyclop's beams are just raw energy from a different dimension unless they retconned that
>>59690511At least three people did.
>>59690512Yeah but they push/break things instead of burn them.
>>59690511I missed it, but look forward to reading it.
>>59690294I think the Lonesome author made another called Private Monkey, though I haven't looked at it yet.
>>59690516And I'm always surprised whenever it gets mentioned.>>59690525It's still going to be a while since I can only work on it during the weekends now.Once I'm done with the proof read, I'll post that draft to see what any of you who care to read it think.I just know there will still be typos that I'll have missed.
>>59690511I straight up have struggled to read more than two chapters of anything the last few months.
