I'm interested! I've been going back and forth on Scarlet & Violet for a while, because on one hand a lot of its ideas look really interesting but on the other I don't really know how they'll be executed. That said though, if the multiplayer exploring together feature works at all like it...

Ultimately, I'm most interested in prioritizing the gym battles; they're a big part of what's always felt special to me about a Pokemon journey, so I really don't want them to feel like an afterthought when my team's already been leveled up a ton from the other two.

May I ask if there's going to be a version of the hack for SoulSilver as well? I don't know how easy or hard it is to convert a hack across versions of the same game, but my friend and I have been playing through gens 3 and 4 using different versions for the remakes, and it'd be neat if we could...

Hmm... Well, I'll admit I'm interested! I've been writing about Sinnoh, so while my feelings on the remakes based on what I've seen are... mixed... I have strong enough nostalgia for the region that getting a little push to give them a shot does kind of appeal.

Well! That was a refreshing summer break from writing! Now that I'm back from that totally preplanned and telegraphed vacation, it's time to enjoy another-- --Huh? What's that? I wasn't planning to take a summer break at all? I intended to use the summer to write *more,* not less? It's not even...

This looks really neat! I've been planning to replay through gens 3 and 4 with a friend who's never played them before, and some of these enhancements seem like they could be a nice way to play gen 3 without some of the frustrations of gen 3! I have a couple of questions. First, do you have any...

Spoiler Warning: Starting this chapter, Gracidea Blossom will contain spoilers for Komari’s Route of Little Busters! Since this is the first such spoiler point, I’ll reiterate my general policy: I’ll be using primarily backstory spoilers and trying to leave elements of the route that people can...

Sorry for the late chapter! I'm running up into the last couple weeks of the school year right now. For the same reason, the next chapter might also come on the Friday of that week instead of the Monday, since that's finals week and studying takes precedence. After that, it should be smoother...

Alright, so. Evidently, I've been having some problems with consistency. For the time being, I'm going to switch to aiming for updates every OTHER Monday, until I feel like I've got the hang of my writing speed again. Sorry for the wait! ---- Chapter 6: Luxurious Lotad & Zealous Zubat The...

Chapter 5: Mischief of a Noisy Girl “My name’s Haruka! And - Poison Sting! - You’ve left yourself open!” Haruka smirks at Riki, and he whirls around to see her Tentacool whip a thick grey tentacle out of the water. It lashes out at Terra, and the Turtwig recoils from its stinging venom. “Ah—...

And after a week's break, I'm back with a new chapter! I decided to take the week off to regain momentum and set up a chapter-long buffer, so that my poor beta won't be quite so rushed in the future. Enjoy! --- Chapter 4: Trouble Clef “…And that’s how we ran out of Pokéballs.” Kyousuke’s...

Sorry for the late chapter. This one really just steamrolled me for some reason, but hey, better late than never! I'm gonna try and use the upcoming week to get a chapter ahead in writing, so hopefully future weeks should go more smoothly and this shouldn't happen again. ------------- Chapter...

Ooh, this looks really cool! I've always wanted to see Following Pokemon in Sinnoh, and your redesigns of cities with what looks like Gen 5 graphics(?) look really cool too!

Chapter 3: No Contest The next morning, the Little Busters gather outside Rin and Kyousuke’s house. The siblings are a little late to emerge, their parents having insisted on helping Rin pack after learning about the planned trip. She now has a bag waiting for her by the doorway, stuffed full...

Chapter 1: It All Starts Naoe Gentle strains of music float across Hearthome. Kricketune are singing on Route 212, and the music drifts in to harmonize with the chirping of Starly. This is what every morning sounds like in ‘the city where hearts touch each other.’ Sunlight filters through the...
