  • Our "Weird and Wonderful" one-shot contest is now underway! Pokémon are strange and magical creatures, and for our writing contest this year, we want to see you higlight some of their oddest abilities and features! From stories about luxray thieves using X-ray vision to scope out targets to those about trainers bewitching opponents with their stantlers' mystic antlers, any sort of fic featuring a pokémon's unusual lore is welcome! See full details here.

    Weird and Wonderful One-Shot Contest

    It appears as I won't be able to join the contest this time due to IRL constraints, unless things shift *significantly* in the next four or five days. tl;dr: family health. But I'll keep an ear around here just in case.

    Weird and Wonderful One-Shot Contest

    I have a few candidates so if things ease up a little bit I might take a shot at this. To the surprise of probably almost no one, one of the candidacies has to do with the never ever fixed breeding "bug" for the Nidos.

    One-Shot Contest 2025 Theme Poll

    Maaaaan, both “Natural Disasters” and “Displacement and Diaspora”? In this good year of Arceus of 2025? Fam, you're cooking! Too soon. Anyway, cast my vote. Weird Lore and Mystery Noir for one, and Natural Disasters for two because it *is* a good space to write how Pokémon interact with the...

    Pokémon Tricks of the Love Fast [Valentine's Nidorans]

    Hey there! Thanks for your feedback let's take a look at it. Yup! It's a classic and I could not pass the chance of ever using this classic line.

    Pokémon Green and White

    S'up there. It has been some time since I last reviewed something from your library so I thought to give this some look under the excuse of RB2024! It helps that, if I'm reading correctly, this will have some Dragons. Green and White First, assuming I've gotten the POV correct, this means we...
