Hypno (Drowzee) Somniantes raptor Overview Hypno is one of the easiest psychic-types to care for in Alola. They are intelligent and social creatures with distinct personalities. They don’t require the same level of enrichment as slowking and oranguru. They do not need to sleep, drink or eat...

Normal 1.14: Mother and Sister Egg You awaken trapped and comfortable. Something in you knows that you should get out. Escape. Be free. Free from what? The liquid around you is very pleasant. You hear sounds outside. High pitched and soothing. Mother! She is why you must get out. You raise...

Dudunsparce (Dunsparce) Talpadraconis magnus Overview The dragons hold special places in almost every culture. They are seen as messengers of the gods, or as gods in their own right. Even the cultures that do not worship them know the importance of approaching them with respect and fear. In...

"he let k go" should be fixed I'm curious how long Mewtwo has been around. Long enough that he has memories of "all those years ago." He's also worse than his animated/live action counterpart by a fair bit. Unless he’s pretty young I would expect Mewtwo to at least recognize a Johto legendary...

I only read the prologue, in the end, but I do intend to come back and read more at a later time. It's kind of weird that a charmander's parents are a gardevoir and a magmortar. I assume he's adopted and maybe the kid of the Rhys character off-handedly mentioned. And it looks like we've got a...

Wait so this fic is older than Jade now, huh? That's certainly something. We discussed in the chat about how the Starr/Ajia subplots don't really work for me because neither had been in the story for more than a quick cameo or two. As the story itself notes Jade essentially forgot about them...

Arbok (Ekans) Toxiconstrictor vocatmortem Introduction Before 1955, arbok was mostly notable as the link between the constrictors and the venomous snakes. The former group use their muscles and the element of surprise to wrap themselves around their prey and squeeze until their target dies of...

Okay time to answer my own thread I guess. This won’t be in any particular order. Salvage With the benefit of hindsight I may have drawn a lot from Negrek. Second person, the narrative snark, Pokemon(-ish) POV, the general tone... yeah. I read this kind of early on in my process and it probably...

Content Notice: Death/Gore in more detail than previously seen. Parental neglect. Vaguely suicidal ideation but to a much lesser extent than 1.5. Normal 1.13: Someday You Will Learn Pixie Cold air rushes over you as Avalanche stands. When you whine you’re hardly the only one of your siblings...

Exactly what it says on the tin. What fan fiction, Pokemon or otherwise, had the most impact on your writing? What period did you read it in? What specifically did it influence? Would you recommend it to others. I’ll give my full post later on when I have a laptop to work with.

Mr. Mime (Mime Jr.) Spectaculi ioculator Nomenclature Unusually, this entry must begin with a note on a species name. The species whose adult form is usually referred to as “mr. mime” does not appear to have a biological sex. They reproduce by a bonded pair manifesting a physical egg. No...

Hmm. So I’m not sure how much I have to say. I liked both parts well enough, although I thought the latter was the weaker of the two. I think some of the dialogue in the second chapter could benefit from context description. These are gods. They’re allowed to be a little dramatic, especially...

We talked on discord about the most salient points. I.E. it’s okay to backload worldbuilding, maybe cut the Oak scene entirely because it’s v overused and doesn’t add much, your Pokemon are great and I love them. Chapter 2 was way stronger than Chapter 1, probably because less info dumping and...

Muk (Grimer) Oleumedunt facticius Overview In his 1913 novel “March of the Muk,” author Henry Blackstone laid out a vision of muk as a strange creation of sludge and lunar x-rays that rose up from the oceans to destroy the cities. With humanity’s greatest insults to the wilderness gone, the...

Persian (Meowth) Overview Historically, the popularity of torracat in Alola has limited the desire for any other cat species. Other islands’ experiences with invasive cats have also led the Commonwealth government to restrict feline importation. Pyroar, their most notable failure, is a large...

I try to go for "realistic" ecology within the bounds of biological nonsense. It's why I'll go off on a food web tangent if pressed on discord. Do it sometimes. It's fun for me. And no one else. Pokemon absolutely hunt other pokemon in my setting. There are baseline animals. Just not very many...
