I'm posting in the fanfiction lounge after... how long exactly?
Me too ._.
I mean, good
lord, what the hell has happened here? Seriously, I hate you guys, you know that? How can you all go and
talk so much, aye. X_x I mean, aren't we supposed to be writers? Get to writing people! I can't keep up with this insanity!
Surprisingly, writing is actually what I've been doing lately. Only, not for TRINITY or TFC -_- Nope, it's been for my super secret stuff that is so totally not porn. Seriously, it's not. If I told you what it really is, I'd have to kill you. Just know that I actually finished proof reading the second part of this two parter. Part 1 was finished and posted months ago, while part 2 was written about two months ago and procrastinated on until today when I dragged my sorry ass over to it and proof read the monstrosity finally. Good god, 20 pages... Those stories aren't supposed to be as long as TFC chapters, dammit!
I then went on to rejuvenate myself by writing a quick two page story, on the same super secret subject of course. Doubt it'll be posted (not like any of you
normal people care) since I didn't take it very seriously, but hey.
Now, what do we have on the agenda... Ah, quotes and answers! Always fun.

The way I have chosen to go about this is to use pseudonyms for members here and incorporate them into the parody. Yes, that means that many of you will appear in my parody. However, some of you may not.
I'm not popular enough to get in, am I? ;_; I could make a good character, the one who slips in out of nowhere, does something which no one even notices, and then slips away again for ten more chapters. And then at some random point I'd pull out this huge gun—no wait,
two huge guns and kick some ass with them Rambo style. I'd then disappear again and everybody would be left wondering "Who the F was that guy?" And Astinus would go "Hey, don't worry about him, he's cool." And everyone would be like "Oh, okay; if you say so, oh great and revered Goddess." And all would be well with the world. The end.
I should make a movie.

SPPf does have it's own good reviewers. It also has it's ff.net type reviewers.
It also has Yami Ryu, who is always good for a laugh so long as you don't incur her rage or find her yelling at people who actually don't need to be yelled at (it happens).

I can't imagine how awkward that was to post. I can just imagine him coming in with his head down, typing that quickly onto the jumbo-sized screen we have at the front of what I am now imagining as our virtual lounge, and then walking briskly out.
I...I'm not the only one who imagines this place as an actual room? :O I do it for chat rooms too, specifically this one I go to that I admin it. Of course due to how insane the chat is it never has any one shape, has been destroyed and instantly rebuilt countless times by now (the best time being when I performed an orbital bombardment from the starship Avalon that will be featured in TRINITY in order to destroy a giant rampaging Milotic. More common is the whole universe imploding after I mess with the spacetime continuum), and is armed with dozens of automated turrets that I can target to fire at anyone I want. Naturally everyone godmods and somehow destroys them, leading me to have to put new ones in all the damn time... Oh, and there are plenty of corners to sulk in, closets that hold unknown horrors, and so on.
This place...is a little more toned down. Lots of curves and really no corners since no one needs to sulk here. Couches, coffee tables, huge TVs... NO guns (if there were any some people would have a fit since they don't believe they exist)...
Have you ever been injured in a sport? Have you been bitten by anything before? If so, what?
My sister. She be a vicious one.
Also, both our old and new cat. In fact, with our old cat which we no longer have, the very first thing she did to me on the way home was bite my finger. The bastard. But what a cute little bastard she was. :D ...It's so hard to be angry with cats. Unless you don't like them, which can only mean you're heartless.
If your character wanted to eat something delicious, would they go for something sweet like cakes or chocolate or rather have something like fine cheese or a gourmet dinner? Or would it be, say, a hamburger?
They would try to eat the tasty cake, but then realize that they've been lied to and that, in fact, the Pokémon Center does not serve cake and that it is all one big lie.
Shrike would then go on to eat whatever is in front of him, Aira would try to eat healthy but sneak in a few sweets, and Rayne would eat meat. Lots of it. She needs lots of protein to kick ass like she does, you know!
Do you think of the regions described in canon (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Orre, etc.) as the continents of a Pokémon world entirely separate (in a different solar system, galaxy, or even universe or dimension) from our Earth? Or do you think that they make up a small section of some alternate version of our planet, like a chain of islands where evolution produced strange and unique creatures Galapagos-style? Basically, how do you think our reality and its geography relates to the Pokémon reality?
Overall the world is an alternate universe with many similarities in places, people, and things but with the addition of Pokémon and an overall heightened level of technology compared to our time (even more so in TFC since it takes place about 40 years in the future, around 2042). As for the islands, I see them as an island chain positioned somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean between the US and Japan. The Japanese inhabited the islands first with the Americans following shortly, leading to a blend of the two different cultures on the islands but leaning more towards the Japanese side. It's noteworthy to add here that Pokémon are not confined to the Pokémon Islands; rather, they're found the world over. The Pokémon Islands is just the area with the highest concentration of them; so high that they have effectively wiped out normal animals, respective Pokémon taking their places on the ecosystem of the islands. (The people there obviously know that normal animals exist though even if they have never seen them in real life, thus allowing me to use Pokémon-animal comparisons without feeling guilty :D)
When you write or envision more "official" Pokémon battles, such as gym battles and battles against the Elite Four, are they open to the public in the style of a spectator sport, or in a more private setting?
Mostly I see them as a private thing, with the gym leader occasionally doing an exhibition match that may be an actual gym challenge as well. For most trainers their battles are private and with the only audience being any companions they have. If they seriously want an audience, they have to arrange it far in advance with the leader since they only have certain dates when they do exhibition matches and they can fill up fast. Even for normal gym battles you may have to sign up, unless the leader doesn't mind fighting you on the spot and isn't busy or such.
Tournaments like in the anime are public and kind of like their version of the Olympics, while formal challenges against the Elite Four are far more private. For the actual E4, the match is recorded and televised and some people may be allowed in to watch, but it's definitely not a public thing. Champion challenges, however, are completely private. They are not televised or even recorded, and no one is allowed in the chamber except for the champion and the challenger. What goes on in there is known only to the two of them. Of course all of the E4 and the champion have public exhibition matches as well; it's sort of a requirement to keep people happy.
Until next time, whenever that'll be... Please, just...try not to churn up five pages, okay?
