Yeah, whatever happened to the fanfic battle thing?
*glowers* AH HAH! YOU'RE SUGGESTING IT'S MY FAULT!
JUST LIKE IT'S MY FAULT THAT SEREBII GREW TOO BIG AND TPT HAS SOME PRETTY BAD AUTHORS!(although most of them rock the planet*coughAshJuniorcough*)
lol Sorry, I was feeling paranoid... XD
I can't quite put my finger on the reason, but I think it has something to do with intimidation. I mean, of the first four authors in the thread, three are well-known fanficcers(this would be my cue to degrade myself, but too bad), so anything that comes after would hafta be written by one of the 'elevated, immortal demi-gods'(not a literal translation, just a representation of the mentality) like LilyPichu or Chibi Pika or, y'know, somebody like that.
That's how I felt when I first got into fanfiction, and it's how a lotta other people feel, from all I've seen. XP
Warning: long and boring monologue ahead.
Mine pwns yours. XD
That was a few years ago, and when I decided to do a fanfic set in another region I didn't want to use that one because you could tell we made it up when I was 11.
XP I know what you mean. I've got half a dozen or more stories buried in this comp that wasted my talent with lousy n00b plots like 'kid ran out of evil teams to beat up because of some moron called Mash Ketchup or something like that, so he's retired on a beautiful island until he hears of an ubermean team that's pwning everybody else, so he takes his lean, mean team and tears them in half over the forty chapters or so of the fic'. Whee. XP XD
First, I figured out what would have caused that region to have become isolated from the others, or in other words, why it hadn't yet been explored in the games or anime. I figured out that I could use that as a plot device as well. Next, I decided what sort of effects the region's isolation would have on its inhabitants. When had it become isolated? What sort of culture would be there? Technology? Philosophy? After that came climate and a rough map sketch. Add characters, pokemon, and poof: Waytar.
Random question: Why is every new region an island? XD I mean, Antarctica has some nice scenery... XD
That aside, this is interesting. Aside from the fact that you've now piqued my curiousity, aside from the fact that you've obviously put a lot of effort into this, it's almost exactly what I'm doing... XP XD
Random questions: Are you gonna release that fic on PC and, if so, when? Also, what does 'Waytar' stand for? Combination of abbreviated words? A different language? Or does it just sound cool?

SilverBlaze! I'm almost done with mine. I had to take a major break from writing and stuff because I still had a lot of summer work to do. I'm almost done with my summer work now, though, and I'm gonna post my part on monday (gone for the weekend). Yeah, sorry for the uber delay.
Awesome, d00d! XD I'll be waiting! *voice of Doom* As will the rest of the world... Or else... XD

Pokemon naming... most of the time it gets on my nerves though... I do feel the irresistable urge to go "-1 mark" when I see a "Firebal" running around as the fire starter.
Heh, except in parodies. That's about the only time they're acceptable.
Of course, we don't know what happened to Luvdisc
Well, it was either that or something like 'Passionfish' or 'Kissme' or something horrible like that. XP XD
Question: Where do they fit all these regions in the first place? Are the regular continents like Asia and the Americas just not there?
