Hiya there! I'm FishyTaco (have at that with a good laugh or two, a lot of my usernames consist of adjectives followed by random food). I'm in love with the XY anime series (subbed, not dubbed) and I'm even moreso in love with writing Fanfiction on Pokemon. It's nice to be a part of this forum and nice to meet all of those that reply to my thread!

A question I'll probably get is what kind of fanfics about Pokemon do I write. And an answer to that question is- well, I generally write a lot. I usually stick with drama-filled adventure stories. But I'd be lying if I said I hadn't tried my hand at a lot of other genres. Adventure seems to the one I've stuck with the most over the years. What got me into writing was a love for the anime and games growing up (I wasn't fortunate enough to read the manga until much later in my high school years). I grew up with the anime and games, but as I got older and more seasoned with life and other TV shows that were more mature and raw, such as Breaking Bad, House M.D., Call the Midwife, Law and Order: SVU, I began to think, "Well why can't Pokemon be like that?" I soon found out the answer to that was because it was aimed at a young audience. Suddenly, the earlier anime, like Kanto and Johto, turned quite cheesy for me. Now, I never stopped loving the anime or anything, but I grew tired of it because it felt repetitive, and of course, for the fact that it often did not deal with things that were extremely serious or even that mature.

So I focused my writing on combining reality, elements from other shows, and Pokemon together to create the mature setting I desperately hungered for. And I must say, with a story of mine called "Thorns" that is essentially a rewritten version of the Pokemon Red, Blue and Green manga, I'm pleased with what I'm doing. That story draws in elements from the manga, anime, and games, while bumping things up to a mature setting. Team Rocket is now the evil crime and business syndicate that I felt they could have been. Even Jessie and James are a huge threat. There's a ton of corruption, and it hits the people you'd least expect. And sometimes sheer will, the power of friendship, and combining strength with your friends and allies, won't work. Sometimes the reality is in that moment, you're completely and utterly powerless against your enemy. Sometimes it takes more than just a few kids with magical creatures to change things.

If any of you would like to read my work, let me know and I'll post a link to my profile and to this form (if that's allowed).

The X/Y anime is reaaally good subbed. I haven't watched dubbed Pokemon since they got rid of Veronica Taylor and those other good VAs but even then I started realizing just how often the Japanese dialogue/music was altered in the dub so I moved away from it. Plus Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie are much more tolerable than Iris.. heh. Welcome to PC, Taco! Love the name.

But your story does seem really appealing so far for a 24 year-old fan who otherwise feels the anime can be a little too cheesy and repetitive, especially with Team Rocket's constant failing antics. What I did thoroughly enjoy, though, was the Pokemon Origins special we got not long ago and it was amazing. So I'm sure I'd read your work if you were to post in our writing forum. :) You can always link to your other account in your forum signature as well; it's one of the few accepted forms of 'advertising' around here.

Ah, we share a similar interest as far as subbed over dubbed then. I also disliked Iris and even more so Cilan. His "It's evaluation time!" and constant puns about a battle being flavorful and whatnot really made him annoying to me.

Well, I've done just that and linked to it in my signature. However, I was reading the rules of the writing forum and it said I HAD to post my story here without linking to another site, such as Fanfiction dot net. I had my hopes pinned on attracting more readers to my story on there. I'm just a little hesitant, because it has a little bit of swearing in it and I'm not so sure if it'd be acceptable to post in the forum. Now, it isn't a lot of swearing at all mind you, but there are a few s-words, f-bombs, and insults thrown around.

Hey FishyTaco, welcome to PC :3 Your FF concept sounds really cool - I especially like how you've make Team Rocket (and Jessie and James) the crime group they could have been. As for posting your fan fiction on the forums, it should be fine even if there's swearing, just tag it as needed (iirc that's part of the fan fic rules). Regardless, looking forward to seeing you around!

Ah, that sounds really interesting! Love to see it sometime! You seem like you'll be a really great force here on PC; welcome, welcome, welcome! Nice to meet you! haven't really watched a lot of BW dubbed since, well, after a while it DID become a little much. So I swapped to the dubbed version, but yeah. Anywhooo, welcome. <33

Indeed, I do hope we can see you on the fanfiction and writing board sometime as you seem to be pretty talented in that regard! All in all, I hope you enjoy yourself here! I look forward to seeing you around~ Feel free to poke me if you ever want to talk or need help! Have a great day~~!

Thank you all for the warm welcomes! I'm sorry I haven't responded in a while. I've been a tad bit busy. You all seem like such wonderful people. Thank you for the encouragement as well! I'll get on to posting my work as soon as possible :)
