    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Dual Wills

    And with this, Totally Not Those Who Slither in the Dark finally have a name. I can see some of the parallels. Particularly if they're behind the current state of who's in power in Selenia. Setting someone up to try and conquer the continent certainly sounds familiar. And the ending scene does...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 100: Positively Adamant

    Chapter 100: Positively Adamant While Spacial Rend was relatively easy for me to describe in manuscript form, Dialga's Roar of Time is much more... esoteric. Hisuian records suggest a large beam of energy, but that sounds no different from your average Dragon Pulse. Even descriptions from the...

    Chapter 99: Soulful Lament "Do you ever think about him at all?" Tessa dabbed her muzzle with a cloth napkin, then set it next to her empty plate. Next to her, Nickie's left ear flattened. "Think about who, Nero? Just because I complimented his thighs doesn't mean—" "No, silly." The riolu...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 98: Great Personal Cost

    Chapter 98: Great Personal Cost The first few weeks after Tessa passed were... not all that different, honestly. Making her a spirit gave her back some of the energy that had waned the last few years. And, well, we knew this was coming. We'd prepared for it. In some ways, things haven't...

    Pokémon Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Guardians of Balance

    Chapters 7 and 8. Seems like some standard "hero meets the partner, they decide to form an exploration team" type of stuff going on here. There's even the introduction of a possible rival character or Team Meanies/Skull-esque annoying thorn in the protags' side in the form of Alice. Or someone...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 97: Fiery Vortex

    Chapter 97: Fiery Vortex I want to leave a record of this somewhere. Yes, POV-2020 is under quarantine, and no one's supposed to be interacting with it. But every time I pass it by I sense something distinctly off. I've probed that universe as best as I could without disturbing the seal. And I...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 96: Red Lupus

    Chapter 96: Red Lupus Simple code alone isn't going to be enough to mediate Dreamweaver and Zodiark. I thought a program could work against them, but they both seemed to adapt to my first few builds. What manner of construct are they? Could they be artificial intelligences? AI is mostly...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 95: Samay Khatam

    Chapter 95: Samay Khatam Something's wrong. I've been detecting this... increasing resonance between Dreamweaver and Zodiark. I thought at first it was merely the interplay between the former's power and the latter's knowledge. But a more recent analysis suggests this resonance is far more...

    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Nostalgia

    Okay, so. You want to know if things are coherent, yes? For the most part... I think so. There are strange dungeon issues with apparitions in both the prologue and chapter two. And during one dungeon going particularly haywire, a meowstic is seemingly killed, leaving their espurr child to get...

    Naming Pokémon and Uniqueness

    I think it ultimately comes down to the kind of PMD story you want to tell. The lack of names in Guiding Light was deliberate since A) it was a sort of AU to the main line games, and B) it was meant to foreshadow the fact that the partner had an ex-human parent. Many of the characters starting...

    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Dual Wills

    Oh, hey, look. Not even one chapter removed from a bunch of talk of treason and betrayal and Kronya's gone and blown up the church and puppynapped Arian. RIP. I feel like Leonid's not getting written out of the story here, but I suppose it's a decent enough twist to have him double down and...

    Chapter 94: Battle on the Big Bridge Yuna's 'pot-shots from a distance' strategy wasn't working. Ting-Lu wasn't exactly speeding toward the giant rock wall surrounding the Terarium, but it was raising dirt mounds out of the ground and leaping between them to dodge Shaymin's Seed Flares. Every...

    Chapter 93: Terra Firma I have another finding to report on the space core. In addition to Dreamweaver, the vast reservoir of energy within it, I've found something else. Something that almost feels... alive? I'm not sure if that's the right phrase to describe this. What it is is some sort...

    Chapter 90: Secret Herbrides and Spices "Seriously?" Tessa looked at the paper that Nickie nudged across the floor to her. It had crude doodles of spiked rings. "Yeah!" Nickie's tails wagged asynchronously. "Look, this bandanna you leant me is nice. But it's not my style." She nudged at the...

    What's this? Haru admitted that maybe she's been going about things the wrong way? Huzzah! I'm not one to judge given my body of work. I'm not entirely sure what she and Nip can do in their current situation, but that isn't exactly the point of this chapter, is it? And at least Nip is also...
