This week, the group reunites with May, and Ash is roped into Contest costume shopping!

This episode was heavily rewritten from the original episode ("A Full Course Tag Battle") to both reflect that Pokemon is not everything in this world (and restaurants are typically battle free zones; unless that is part of a gimmick) and remixed coordinators do not battle. So this episode was very easy to rewrite into worldbuilding.

May's Glaceon Neva was the Eevee that...

Shine Diamond episode 58c--The Afterpost

Posted April 3rd, 2019 at 2:10 PM by EmeraldSky

This week, Mars is intimidated by Wallace's appealing prowess, and Ash gets an unexpected phone call from May!

The biggest change was swapping Team Rocket for the Galactic admins--so instead of Jessie, Wallace wows Mars.

Ash explaining the different moves Celeste does and their Contest types is new for the story. Unlike Contests in the games, moves do not jam opponents--the point of the Appeal competition is trying to earn the most hearts with the most creative appeals...

Shine Diamond episode 58b--The Afterpost

This week, the group befriends Wallace and learns a few Contest tips from a master.

The biggest change for this episode was what Ash and Dawn do--in the original, they battled, but remixed Contests are identical to their game counterparts--no battles allowed in the Contest Hall! (this rule is very strictly enforced in Contest Halls around the world. To make up for this, Ash and Dawn put on a demonstration of appeals instead.

Wallace's feedback reflects what Aqua Jet...

This week, the group learns of a massive contest taking place on Lake Valor.

The big change for this episode is expanding the scope of the contest to not just include the known regions at the time, but Unova, Kalos, Alola, and Galar as well. In fact, a character from XY and Brandi (the Sword/Shield girl) will make an appearance in the Wallace Cup itself.

I also cut out the massive move combination exploding in Dawn's face--I felt that wouldn't make sense given her renewed...

Shine Diamond episode 57b--The Afterpost

Posted March 23rd, 2019 at 8:40 AM by EmeraldSky

This week, Tintri makes a full recovery, allowing him to battle Sho's Raichu Nitro.

The biggest change for this episode was removing the evil team. The conflict with Sho was enough of a conflict as it is, but if you want to see Mars and Jupiter. they are in the wings for next time.

I chose to make Ash telling Dawn about his match with Lt. Surge an interlude because it would make the second part of the episode run long. What he tells is the remixed version of "Electric...
