[stares at the massacre of crappy fics]
Oh god, this is great XD. Finally, the horrid n00b fics are elliminated instead of cluttering up these forums and distracting from the halfway decent stuff. Niko, if I were a sculptist, and knew what you looked like, I swear I would gladly erect a statue of you, holding up a chainsaw, in honor of this glorious act.... come to think of it, I could kinda picture the guy in your avatar (I mostly picture users based on their avis anyway) slaughtering things with a chainsaw.
[looks at Pika Power's last post before his thread got offed]
Pffft..... any lame-o can just make up 150 new Pokemon, but if the plot centered around those new Pokemon are just the same **** thing, who gives a f***? And even if his plot was meant to be good later on (which I doubt), is posting a summary like that and starting off the storyline with such unoriginality really such a good way to keep people reading long enough to reach that point, or even attract people at all? Hell no. Let this be a lesson to anyone who thinks their story can seem "original" just because they use a new Pokemon or new region or whatever. Hell, I've seen more stories using nothing but the existing regions and 386 Pokemon (there's a lot of variety as it is, why need more?) give me more original plots than I've ever seen a story using nothing but fanmade Pokemon.
