Good afternoon! I saw you didn't get a reply yet, so I figured I'd help you out and leave a review. ;) Now, before I start about the actual story, I'd like to point out a bit of a problem I had. I'm not sure what forum style you're using, but on mine it's pretty much impossible to properly read...

Hey! Sorry about replying to your comments so late, but I haven't had much time to sit down and type. (I did read them earlier, however. ;)) Well, you don't have to have the same beta-reader your entire 'writing career'. You could easily finish something, send a request to a beta reader to...

I have to agree. The idea of having to write a minimum amount of reviews to get a shiny badge just doesn't sit well with me, especially because it could lead to more of a veteran/newbie divide. This is something that would be much easier to achieve for veterans - who have experience here and...

Oooh, I love me some one-shots. XD I absolutely adore longer stories, but one-shots just give you the satisfaction of a finished story right away. Hopefully my review will make the story even better. ^^ ~ What I like about this opening is that it's exciting. You start out with action and it...

I didn't necessarily mean challenging in a bad way. I don't mind people questioning my arguments. (Though I have to admit that it helps if people actually read them before replying. XD) Also, I wasn't trying to nitpick, or whatever, I was simply replying to those who replied to me. Like I said...

I wasn't the one challenging someone's freely given opinion on the story-idea here. They were challenging mine and I'm merely replying to them. Plus, so far it's merely a discussion that may help the writer - and others - decide on things. What's wrong with that? I happen to enjoy discussions...

An-chan I wished you would, because it makes things so much easier when I know what you're replying to with what. Also, I'm quoting the things I'm replying to it and it doesn't seem to derail anything. In fact, I think it's easier to deal with when you know what someone is replying to. *shrug*...

Please read what I'm saying. I never said there wouldn't be a good reason for someone to go to an academy, but that reason has to be logical. Someone going to an academy because they want to study the behaviour of pokémon in the wild isn't. Let me repeat: Like I said, there are good reasons...

If you're going to school, then you're limited to some sort of building or area where that school is located. It doesn't have to be concrete, literally, but it's confining and making sure she won't see as many pokémon as she would if she were to journey around. In fact, as academies are usually...

Wait, what? So, someone who wants to understand more about pokémon in their natural habitat is choosing to do so by staying in a concrete building? Instead of actually going out there and checking how pokémon respond to the environment and people? This doesn't make sense at all. In fact, it...

Like I said, you'd have to come up with very clear reasons why someone would want to go to a school. The first one wouldn't work here, because if they're so terrible at battling then them going off on some quest doesn't make sense. There'd be a reason why they're at the school and not out...

I have some questions regarding this idea of yours. 1. Why a pokémon academy? I have yet to come across a person who'd rather go to school than journey into the world with their own pokémon. Schools seem like a total waste to me. Would you honestly choose to stay in one place, have to take...

I'm going to continue commenting, because I don't quite agree with some of the things you're saying. If you don't want to continue this discussion, then please let me know and I'll drop it. 'Awesome' doesn't equal 'powerful'. There are plenty of powerful characters that I don't find awesome...

Indeed, though I don't think my comments were biased. :) I have to disagree with your first point. That's mere opinion. There are plenty of people who think Ichigo is awesome and that those guys you mentioned are useless. (For example, I think Sasuke is incredibly annoying.) 'Cool' is a...

First of all, I'd like to start by saying that I'm not overly fond of crossovers. I know a lot of people love them and I respect that, but they're just not for me. (I like a fandom for that actual fandom and wouldn't want to mess with it by introducing things to it that don't exist in the...
