    Pokémon Do Psychic Cats Dream of Electric Sheep? -- OLD VERSION

    Hullo, hullo again! I enjoyed this chapter despite the flaws other people have already mentioned. Tricky's character in particular does a lot to carry it, as she seems to have the most agency out of the children (partially because the focus is on her, of course, but the point stands). I...

    Threadmarks: You Will be Alone Always and then You Will Die.

    author's note: this is the first part of a threeshot I've been working on for a while now. lately, I've been wanting to mess around with different genres in the pokemon world. it works really well given how open-ended pokemon is. also, for once, it isn't pmd. been wanting to dabble with ranger...

    Pokémon The Last Con

    I jumped into this lowkey under the impression it was a heist fic. Instead, I got a myth fic, which... I'm definitely not complaining, haha. Both are a-okay by me. My mind immediately defaulted to the Orpheus myth when I heard the premise. Although he's a musician, not a trickster. But there is...

    Pokémon Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Eternal Shadows

    Hey, Bench! Glad I got the chance to check out the first chapter (need to catch up anyway for book club, haha, so might as well get a review done while I'm at it). It's hard to pin down the characters in the opening chapter. They're mostly disoriented so they don't really have much to do other...

    Pokémon dream eater

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I appreciate it. It's always cool to get perspective from fandom blind people. They point out stuff I'd never have even thought about necessarily. That would probably make more sense if you'd played the game, yeah. The MC duo (Meowth and Pikachu here) get...

    Pokémon Spring

    And, I’m back! I’ll give overall thoughts and then segue into some thoughts on prose, since you did ask me to share. I like how the opening is just Chris surviving out in the wild. Gave me minor Hatchet vibes, haha. There’s a comfortable sort of loneliness to it. The way Chris uses his pokemon...

    Pokémon Stained Paws

    I’ve been wanting to review your stuff again for a while now. I definitely have plans for Places We Call Home, but I’ll hold off and chew on something a bit shorter in the meantime. I wonder if Kyros was a police officer as a human. Or maybe a criminal of some sort? It’s hard to tell for sure...

    Pokémon In the Streets of Lago

    Hullo! Excited to check this out, it seems super interesting. I really like the angle this takes when it comes to gang warfare and police brutality. The relationship between poverty and violence isn’t something I often see explored in pokemon fanfiction, so this made for a nice change of pace...

    I was hoping to post this on your b-day, but sadly got caught up in holiday shenanigans of my own. Still, happy belated birthday and here’s a toast to the new year. Noctum and Baraz continue to be best boys. They’re just so sweet and supportive. Noctum being all excited to show Yuna the...

    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Path of Valor

    Back at it again with another review! I’m technically all caught up on Path of Valor, but for the most part I’ll keep my analysis strictly to chapter two. The first chapter was primarily from Yuna’s perspective, so it was interesting that this chapter changes POV quite a bit more. Characters...

    Non-Pokémon Princess IM-Peach?

    There's a thin line between love and hate, and you're teetering dangerously on it right now, bucko. Classic cold war tactics. And yet, no discussions on immigration policy or decisions made regarding dreamers. Suspicious. If I didn't know better, I'd say this article was biased--clearly...

    Pokémon New Smells (one-shot)

    Don't worry, I'll go slow. :') Even though this is short, I'm impressed by how alien yet unique the voices of the three pokemon feel while still clearly communicating their opinions on N. A lot is said in a very sparse amount of words. They all have their own internal rhythm and slang that...

    Pokémon The 1K Words Oneshots

    The decision to limit yourself to (exactly?) 1K words is an interesting exercise. While I'll always appreciate economy in word choice, perhaps you could be a little less stringent next time? Sometimes the prose felt a little too bare bones, forced to work in broad strokes so you could hit your...

    Pokémon Fighting Nature

    And I’m back! I’ll be reviewing chapters 2-5. The most interesting mystery presented throughout these four chapters seems to be Lyco. From not having a name in the directory to the way she ruthlessly asserts dominance over everyone--both Raskin and Sid as well as Tyler--she comes across as a...

    Pokémon Death Is Lonely

    Hello again, Namo! I have returned after finishing the entire short story. It was a lot of fun. Let’s dig in: I had a hard time picturing them in the ocean from this description. When I think of what the word seeped means, I think of someone slowly getting wet. Such as, ‘the water seeped...
