:( The second generation was my favorite!

Granted, I never watched an episode with Tracy, but the Jouhto saga was what got me back into pokemon after fifth grade. I loved the neo cards because I loved the new pokemon. Am I just weird? I had a team of completely new pokemon in my Gold.

I remember a time where a friend of mine doubted that I should write a future fan fic to work on (after I'm done with HMW) because it took place in the "ancient" Johto.

After reading Frostweaver's response, if ancient means "second rate", then I won't bother with it.


I considered reviving "Johto Island Adventure" again several times, but seeing all these rules about fan fiction that I should've known 5-10 years ago made me quite hesistant to do so.

It isn't a 'rule' that just because the 2nd gen. fell short in the games and other places in a few peoples view that nothing good ficwise can be made from them.
If anything, it is a way to show what you've really got against toughs odds. I don?t' truly let other people influence what I should or shouldn?t write overall plot-wise once I get my mind set on something.

Obeying the fanfic forum rules is one thing, changing my core story every time someone says the most tiny "I don't care for ______." is another. As the saying goes, "You can please some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of time."

Somewhere out there, not matter how good you get, is going to be someone who most likely hates your work with a passion. We've all got one I think..

Myself, 2nd gen was my favorite in terms of games. When playing them I went out of my way to make my team out of just the new pokemon, because I figured "I've already had the others once before, why get them here?" A bad way to play, maybe, but it made things interesting to say the least. And, of course, my username I made in honor of those games when I started posting in many places in 2001 or so. Good times, good memories...

Same! GS were def my favorite games: I think they had the most comprehensive storyline (I ahted the plot in RbySapp), and I liked the freedom to go whereever you liked in the two regions. I, also, was on a mission to catch on Jouhto pokemon. I love mareep-flaffy-ampharoas ^^; All my favorite pokemon are from the second generation: houndoom, larvitar, ampharoas, politoed...

Politoed:)! Such a cute little frogie...
Also, I loved the day and night settings. It made everything that much more real. People often say that they hated to wait until night and it made them not get enough sleep for school, but I seemed to do okay. Of course, being in high school, I knew to pace myself.
 
I loved the day and night thing; my GBC served as a personal wristwatch AND doubled as a pokemon game xD. I thought it was a great idea, and would wait around at 6:00 to see all the colors change.

If these kids are going to bed by six, there's something wrong here...
 
I was (heavily) revising my one shots when I realized; some of frosty's reviews clash with another. ;-; So I got confused. Is it better to mix them together or something? And if it's insignificant, does it matter to change it?
 
Only if *you* feel it needs to be. In the end, when all is said and done, you as the author have the final say...
 
I don't get it, Onii-chan.

Gohan had a chance to improve, and he's only eleven for that matter, and I myself thought the fanfiction wasn't as half as bad. I thought it only had to be closed with it is extremely incoherent and totally nonsensical. I mean, merely looking at the rules can't really improve his fic drastically, can it? Majority of the writers get help from reviewers...and if there are no reviewers, then what?

I don't know. This is just a tiny rant. /._.\
 
No no no, this was just a little thought, I mean, you don't have to do it.

Gah. x_X
 
I always thought that a thread can only be closed if it didn't follow any review's comment on how to improve O.o; or, if a continous amount of fanfics are published all at once, and all of them are rather not-so-readable.

Age 11 = you've only learnt grammar... personally if grammar is good, then i'll keep it. No way in gr.6 have they thought you want's sentence structure or coherence in plot except getting the sentence grammatically correct.

In terms of writing, going against your oods is always an excellent way to gamble your reputation as a fanfic writer. If you do manage to do a good job at it, then you'll stand out a lot more. Write a good OT fanfic that begins at the professor's house, and you'll be well known rather quickly.

EDIT: I just realized that GSC does have mainly crappy Pokemon, but the particular ones that stand out will make up for everything GSC has lost in terms of usable Pokemon- Raikou, Suicune, Skarmory, Blissey, Tyrannitar, Houndoom and Miltank. GSC got too much terribly under-stat Pokemon, but a rare few very good ones. GSC's gameplay is so curse-reliant that a game usually takes one hour. A game is decided upon who makes the first mistake in terms of switching, and that's about it =/

Not true at all. I have an 11-year-old brother, cousin, and several friends, and they are fully capable people who, if effort is involved, can write as well as you and I can. Age has nothing to do with it.

It might be a gamble, but then I think it is pretty worth it. Of course, this is coming from a gal that never cared about her reputation at all in school..and still doesn?t really. If you rely too heavily on what others think of you, you may never be true to yourself I think...

Ah, well, here is the thing: I hardly used curse, period. I prefer to do it the old-fashion takes hours way. I've never been one for the quick and dirty path toward the end of the game. In my mind, it takes all the fun out of things. But then, I like G/S/C to last longer since they are my favorites...

I believe frostweaver is saying that in terms of the 'other' writers who want or need good reviews. If they only wished to be true to themselves, they do not need to post their stuff publicly.

I believe frostweaver means competitive play(netbattle, etc).

Also, is this not the FF lounge? GB games are normally discussed elsewhere.

Whee, I be an illegal mod, by the skunk. XD

Anyways, question for y'all. Does Officer Jenny exist in Orre? Yes, this pertains to fanfiction. XD

Hmm, well, everyone *wants* good reviews, even myself. I guess my point was, do try for something that others will find good, but at the same time don't let others rule every little action you decide to put in your plot. Their comes a time when you must use your own judgement, come what may. And you need not give up being true to your inner voice in order to post your fic in public, as many writers, when being true to themselves, do put out good writing. It's just that many authors who write poorly use the term to justify never editing their work in any way. Now, never editing is not being true to yourself, it is barring your writing from being a true expression... and readable...

I thought he was talking about the GB games as he said using certain moves ('GSC's gameplay") it would only take an hour...
Sorry, I was merely talking about them (G/S/C) in fanfic terms and then got a little carried away.

She could, but police seem like a rare thing there..Being as it is out in the middle of nowhere and everything...

Okay. I have been enlightened. *puts on lightbulb*

The key was the term 'switching out'. That is used in competitive play, but in in-game play it is irrelevant, because of the low difficulty of the enemies.

*growls* Alright, private, but you'd better do better next time! XD I think we all understood that. And those who didn't must look at the guy in my sig, for that is what misunderstanding will get them-flaming. XD

In the game, all I saw were the two, the Chief and the nutcase Officer.

Maybe she doesn't... That'd be nice...

'Nuther question(man, I'm like on a roll): As far as you've seen, have the antagonists been portrayed as the arrogant ones in all the manga? I mean like whoever was the opponent, like Blue. I haven't read beyond the first, uh, twelve of them. X.X;

Does anyone feel like writing a Sci-Fi pokemon fic for me to read? oo;

I don't see many of those >>;
