Electric-type dog perhaps? Also, yeah, I'm still into reading/critiquing stories, though I'm no longer actively writing my own stuff.

Coincidentally, I have had a few people ask for me to write a few short stories for them on Furaffinity (I'd link a recent Pokémon-related example, but the site's having issues today... >.>).

Mmm, sounds like...The Inheritance Cycle? No, The Inheritance Cycle was completely different and totally fell apart plot-wise after Book 1-Eragon.

Oh, have you made an outline for the general plot? It's a good way to keep focused, even if you don't stay entirely on track with it.

On a side note, I had something similar planned for Feral Twilight too, but they were separate parts to the same Book. Part One was Lost in Longing, focused on Jay's lust for vengeance against his sister after he lost his title to her (the theme tying into the in-story deity Corros's symbolism of greed/envy/lust/etc.); Part Two was Found in Fury, and focused on Jay's growing anger during his quest to stop Otulp's ultimate ambition to destroy humanity (symbolic of the deity Vaspudem's theme of fury/rage/hatred/etc.); Part Three would've been Tried by Terror, where Jay finally gained the means to confront Otulp only to a serious personal loss (Otulp is symbolic of fear/terror/anguish/etc. in the story); and Part Four was to be The Lost Goddess, which was sort of an epilogue where Jay goes on a mission to reawaken the spirituality of the three gods' mother (whom is an all-powerful being that forsook her emotions to become an entity of pure logic). Ultimately, I think it may've just fallen apart by Part Three because the plot was way too lengthy to keep together without massive revisions to the entire story from the beginning.

...Ick, sorry for all this story talk... I really intend to focus on helping you, if you need advice. I just have a bad tendency to get caught up in nostalgia...

Mmm, I wouldn't say that spoils anything. I've written really elaborate stories with extensive backgrounds too, and that sounds like the setup for a very extensive history. Judging by your prologue, though, you've got a long story ahead of you. It's almost comparable to Feral Twilight, wherein my main character Jay Christie only happened to become wrapped up in a terrifying conflict between the "old gods" from Ronac's mythology and the "new gods" from Sinnoh's creation myth (the prospect being that Otulp, a phantom wolf, considers Arceus an imposter deity seeking dominance over all life, while he in turn seeks to enforce his reign over everything as well). I could never get the plot going in full, though... :/

Any particular theology there? The best legendaries tie some kind of religious symbolism into their existence (i.e. Palkia and Dialga were gods in ancient Sinnoh. Likewise, Ho-oh was considered somewhat of a deity too). I've always found that sort symbolism plays very well into fanfics, such as the case of my Fakemon Otulp and his sisters who were consider the "God of Memories" by the indigenous peoples of my Ronac Region.

Yes, I did! That's a very good descriptive/narrative tactic. I've even gone so far as to describe my legendaries like that in my old fanfics (leaving an air of mystery to them to entice people to read on). Little tricks like that will keep people coming back to read, I assure you that.

Yep, no rush. It'll just be a light proofread.

Need a proofreader, or are you good? I'll take a moment to look it over for minor errors and the like, but I promise not to go overboard and tear it apart like I used to. I've actually made it a point to stop being overly thorough.

That's good. Wish I could say the same, but I put Feral Twilight and Biohazard away for good...

Yeah, Lickilicky and Tangrowth were kind of a waste... >.> I'm not too fond of Magmortar or Electivire either, but at least they're useful. Rhyperior was different to me because it wasn't so blatantly made just as a filler. It's a terrifying wall to be put up against if you know how to format its EVs and Moveset correctly.

Aye, sorry, but I have to disagree. Any Pokémon that evolves from a previous gen Pokémon can be portrayed as one from the previous region. That's at least the justification for it in the HG/SS remakes, and the PWT in Black/White 2. Then again, I've always been more into the later gens than the initial installments (even though I technically started in Gen 2). Ultimately, it's your call, though. I just wanted to put forth some ideas.

Thanks. It's my OC Seraph Furlong as a member of the Thief class from Fire Emblem Awakening. The person who drew it's amazing.

Mmm, a little constructive criticism: make Gengar into Mega Gengar, drop the three starters Mega Evos unless you aren't working with the regular games' battle mechanics that prohibit more than one Mega Evolution per battle (in which case keep them), and give Blue Rhyperior over Rhydon (Rhyperior is technically slower, iirc, but the power and defense is worth the tradeoff; I've screwed countless people over with it via wifi, even more so with Assault Vest) unless you're trying to keep him within beatable parameters (which it kind of sounds like in retrospect). Of course, that's just my insight. I'm not a hack maker/programmer, so I don't know how hard it is to switch things out like that. If it's more work than it's worth, don't even bother.

No problem. Also, thanks, those pics weren't easy to draw.

I like that idea for your game actually. The Elite Four was always cumbersome to fight over and over again each game without any kind of change up. I mean, the only games that actually had a change were the Black and White games, and that was only because you had to beat N and Ghetsis to beat the game. I've heard tale that some people have made it so that you're required to beat both the champ and your in-game rival in some hacks (somewhat of a throwback to the RBY set-up where the /real/ champion was actually your rival, whom just beat Lance before you arrived). I've always thought there needed to be more challenge to the endgame for Pokémon, or at very least gym leaders should've had FULL teams throughout the game instead of just two or three (maybe four-to-six late game like in DPPl) same with the Elite Four and Champion.

Hi dude. I hope you are intrested for something. So I freshly finished sprites of Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre and Mega Rayquaza for GBA standards. Did you want it? It was fully made. Front, Back and Shiny sprite. <IDK with Groudon. But I make it basing on Shiny colours of Normal Groudon> If you want it only say.

Ah, okay. Sorry, I'm one of those guys who likes regular wolves, but I've never kept up with lore outside of a few certain legends (namely, a lot of Native American mythology). Otherwise, my sona's are based entirely on my own ideas (Otulp, the Ronaci death god: http://d.facdn.net/art/incinermyn/1412720136.incinermyn_otulp2.jpg and Canersia, his undying servant: http://d.facdn.net/art/incinermyn/1412886682.incinermyn_canersia.jpg ...hope those links work... FA's direct links aren't always good, and I don't know if you're okay with me linking to my own FA.). Some of my fursonas are based on my Fakemon, but I have been going through the process of recasting my humanoid fakes as regular OCs, namely Seraph Furlong (a skunk).

Fursona...? Fursona? FURSONA? You're a furry, then? Sorry, don't mean to jump to conclusions. I rarely hear that term off FA, so I'm a little surprised you mentioned it.

Also, Bludwulf...? Mmm, I'm assuming you mean something akin to the "dire wolf," which is basically an adapation of the werewolf (with heavier emphasis on the wolf part). In any case, I'd imagine it's something fierce. My 'sona is far from Halloween-ish, an ermine (well, an adaptation of my Fakemon Incinermyn specifically, but I have a regular ermine form for him too in the form of monk).

You a fan of Halloween-type stuff, or are you the kind who would rather "take it or leave it?"

Hi, CJ. So, um...want to start our conversation fresh?

Derp! That's right... I'm mistaken, sorry... I'm thinking Marvel Universe.

I understand that. Smash Bros is just a fighting game, so I know it's not going to appeal to everyone. Also, MARVEL VS. DC! :D I heard that game's epic! Spiderman and The Hulk versus Superman and Batman, FTW!

Yes, sorry, my apologies. Well, at least you're making progress, right? Sounds like it anyways.

Coincidentally, I just got a game today that I'd been debating about for a couple months: Super Smash Bros. for the 3DS. I wasn't planning on getting it until I tried the demo... I couldn't believe how smooth the fighting mechanics were, considering handhelds aren't good for them and I actually grew to sort of disdain SSB after Brawl seemed like it was all in slow motion. Eh...if I'm annoying you with this game rant, let me know and I'll stop. I really intend to actually talk this time, not rant like I did before.
