I've been discussing my OCs lately. The MC's background is unorthodox. Citrata not only first set out to become a TCG player, she attempted to join the villains. But growing disillusion with lack of success at cards, spurred her interest in real Pokemon. Also at times a spendthrift, and gets...

Rom-com interests me. Recently reading I'm in Love with the Villainess and My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom

For what it's worth, Mega Man X7.

Here, I'll share thoughts on my ongoing fic's development and central cast. Playing with expectations began with the story's title. "The Stray Rocket" alludes to incompetence, but not that of Team Rocket. In-storyline, "stray rocket" is a term applied to card players deemed unworthy of joining...

I haven't finished the DLC. But I'm not looking forward to revisiting the game's oft-ridiculed technical aspects.

Having access to 1000+ Pokemon really isn't relevant to me. Though I enjoy taking extra care to build onto the official lore. If you're going to add fake mons or whatnot, it's more interesting to establish them via the sources available. Maybe unused designs can be unearthed from like an...

It is what it is. Who doesn't gripe how monotonous and unrewarding random battles tend to be, yet radically changing it leads to new problems. If you can run around ignoring all the wild Pokemon, you're likely to be underleveled for the "good stuff" and end up having to grind anyway.

Not very specific. I'm just hoping my character designs, stay in the ballpark of being Pokemon characters. But sometimes out-of-genre experiences are a lot of fun to invent (for instance I have a gifted mecha pilot, whose talents are wasted because only the perpetually-losing Team Rocket trio...

Speaking from experience, I'm more used to not finishing stuff. I've attempted stories based on various franchises, sometimes tossed in a blender. I don't know how I'd feel if a story reached a place I could write a satisfying end. My advice? Pokemon has a trove of lore to draw from. If a...

Financially, the particular way I like to enjoy anime is getting out of reach. Boutique publishers for niche audiences are the norm today.

Reinvention is the heart of Bond. Different casts, writers, gadgets. Yet probably the worst that could happen is straying from physical law. The stunts have to keep audience disbelief within the realm of human ability.

What resources are there to better understand personality traits and visual attributes typically indicative of humans in the Pokemon world? I'd prefer to avoid ending up with clothing details and hairstyles that belong, well, somewhere else. I'm aware speech patterns help too. Pokemon media...

I've resumed working on my Pokemon fanfic. This time taking notes of details like the movesets of the major characters' teams. I also wrote a blog post belatedly "announcing" the story (nine years after the earliest chapters were published, heh).

Grinding is not gameplay, any more than using a Game Genie is. Neither 'extreme end' offers engagement with the mechanics, nor a meaningful sense that the player's tactics and skills are improving.

The company is reorganizing to pursue other business ventures, outside of games.
