    Pokémon Hunting Game

    Alright, I have recovered from an aggressive migraine and I’m here now. First off, I love the way you started this. Beautiful imagery and a sense that Dali is maybe missing his old home in the desert. I love the touch of Chase holding onto an old tire for a chew toy. Hilarious image to think...

    Pokémon Just Hold Still

    Ok, so I was here for catnip and only planned to do the one chapter. That… went out the window. Good god, your story is not what I expected from the blurb at the beginning. Believe me when I say that was a very good thing. Normally I’d comment on individual lines and parts that I liked but I...

    Pokémon What the Gods Gave Me

    Curious about the pronunciation of this. I read it as Aim-Loo, but I’d like to be sure. I know you said that the story is a raven who’s turning intoa god. I’m wondering how accurate that description is. Are real animals living alongside pokemon? Or is this just a Murkrow? OH HELL YEA BODY...

    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Path of Valor

    I’m back! Merry Blitzmas! Chapter 4 More politics to open the chapter! Delightful! I also really like the cracks in Vortex’s cheery armour starting to show. Yuna definitely is a trouble magnet, what with her being our protagonist and all. Glad Vortex is at least somewhat realistic about things...

    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Path of Valor

    Alright! Attempt 2 at pushing myself to actually read this! Prologue I adore the fantasy feel of this. It’s so… idk how to really describe it but I love the vibes this puts off. I know you said it pivots hard to sci-fi, but this style and this genre seems like you’re really comfortable with...

    Journey Death of Duty Part 7: The Fall of the Pokemon League War The point of war is not to die for your beliefs. Its to make the other poor bastard die for his. — Ranger Lt. Col. Emmet "Surge" Roth The world flipped end over end as I tumbled through the air. I would have screamed if I...

    Pokémon The Devil You Know

    Alright, so I’ll just get this out of the way first. You should not, under any circumstances, be telling readers “go look up these characters if you don’t know them.” It’s a terrible look. I want you to tell me the story, not be told that I can’t understand it without having read ancillary...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    I love this slow intro to the chapter, you have such a way with scene-setting. I’ve noticed that you really excel at making these normal situations uncomfy through Red’s narration. The idea behind a pidgey cursing like a sailor has legs lol. I don’t typically like pokemon speaking, but this bit...

    Pokémon Pokemon: Legendary Adventures

    Yeah, you ain’t catching that. One who seems pretty damn loyal and affectionate to be honest as well. No you won’t. I really really really want to know more about whatever happened with Galactic. I have a feeling it’s going to be importent Well that sounds horrific. What the hell did...

    Pokémon Pokemon: Legendary Adventures

    Lol, I see Koa’s still just overjoyed at having caught his starter. I mean… it’s still a tiny bat fighting a muscle man. It’s at least a little bit impressive, isn’t it? I always pictured golem as an actual boulder. Not saying that they couldn’t be green, but it’s not the default I think of...

    Pokémon Pokemon: Legendary Adventures

    YOOOOO LETS GOOOO Full disclosure, I did start this fic back just before I started Journey. I... remember nothing except for Koa being obsessed with a “perfect team”. Chapter 1: Oh, I love the worldbuilding around legends and the apparent stigma surrounding them due to recent events. I know...
