It isn't easy to write this, but I'm afraid I have to cancel this story. Moreover, I'm afraid this is also effectively my retirement announcement from fanfiction. I've known for a while that this fic was going to be my last one, and I'd hoped to end my stay here on a high note, but I don't think...

Chapter 2 Word Gets Around Fast Harris was improving substantially at chopping wood, but he was still never quite sure when it was time to keep the axehead wedged in the wood and just pound it against the stump. He wiped his forehead. Two weeks in the country was no substitute for growing up...

You will run into some folks who say that capitalizing pokemon nouns when you're not strictly using them as proper nouns is a crime against the English language, but I think it's safe to ignore them. The reality is that this is fanfiction for a franchise that uses idiosyncratic capitalization in...

I don't think this one's required reading for that one, but I'm not complaining if anyone wants to think of it that way! I can remember being Hal's age and being baffled at how adults could confuse what fourth-graders know and what third-graders know. One of my favorite things about writing...

[Canceled] Author's Notes: ( ^ Not spoilers, just there for anyone interested.) Disclaimer on Content Warnings: I am not well-versed in mental health issues. I have made a good-faith effort to highlight objectionable or potentially disturbing material below, but I wouldn't bet money on my...

I don't see why you can't make it work. 'OP' is relative, and it all depends on what kind of teams you give the character's competitors. Are they up against veterans or newbies? And perhaps by having two fire-types as their best Pokemon, you can make their team suffer from balance issues even...

Hey, thanks! :D I had a little trepidation about the American Indian aspects because I'm certainly not an expert and I wanted it to feel respectful and authentic. Glad that worked for you. I think it'd be fun if Western or at least old-timey fics became the next fad.

Welcome to the forum! Strictly speaking, it is your own choice, and I'd strongly recommend taking a little more time to think about what kind of story you want to write the most, but since you're so adamant on that point here's my direct answer: Flip a coin. Like, assign "anime" to either heads...

Heya! Hal's motivation in my mind is simpler than you think: he wants a Ponyta because he loves monsters and Ponyta's his favorite. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I certainly wasn't trying to make it be any kind of puzzle, so maybe I should have made that more obvious. The affinity for monsters you could certainly...

[This story was originally written for the 2017 secret-Santa exchange at the Serebii forums. For anyone interested, the prompt was as follows: Merry (belated) Christmas, PokéCommunity!] Content Warnings: Brief language, blood, alcohol. Not recommended for readers under the age of 13. Wild...

Illicit discussion of Pokemon in an era of oppressive internet censorship? Color me intrigued. This is an interesting development and opens plenty of avenues for the story to go. The foremost question for the reader is whether this bulletin board will attract the right kind of attention to their...

First things first, I like this parallel structure you?re going for and how it takes place pre- and post-cataclysmic event. It makes the reader wonder about the mystery from two angles: what is Ernest going to learn about the extinction of Pokemon, and is Kris going to play some part in the...

This is eerie and fascinating stuff so far. The theme of “hunger” seems more abstract in the first story compared to the second and third, but it still fits with the others because of what you’re doing with the narration style across all three. The characters take a very matter-of-fact approach...

If you're interested in where the regions are situated relative to one another, there's actually a lot of fascinating fan-theory and research that's been done on this: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_world_in_relation_to_the_real_world Gym leaders and Elite Four as holding...

There are a lot of interesting ideas going on here. I love the amount of thought you've put into the question of what a genderless, single Pokemon species would mean in a realistic setting. Your explanation both fits existing canon, and gets extra points for allowing there to be a super-cute...
