    [CYOA] You Are a Rock
    Threadmarks: Post 2-5

    "That's unbelievable, this was a tiny dungeon just a few days ago!" you exclaim, staring in disbelief at the Dungeon's edge. "The spread is accelerating," N states, bringing a hand to his chin in thought. You wonder how many people might already be in there, in some trouble. Millie, too. It...

    Pokémon Gakutensoku--Safe Passage

    Hey Blackljack! Reviewing this one for catnip! Overall, I thought this was a very conflicting, wholesome-but-unsettling story, but in a good way. It was an interesting premise of Arven seeing his father again. Such a funny coincidence that I'm seeing another fic based around this story, but I...

    "I'd like to save Millie first and foremost," you say after mulling it over with your meal. At this point, N is looking outside of the small... clearing, cavern that you are in. Now that you think about it, this place isn't very well-hidden. Oh, Zoroark. Right. That's probably it. "You want to...

    You aren't sure what to say, not immediately. But your goal remains clear. You need to save Millie. If she's a hostage, they won't kill her, not unless they think there's no use to her at all. And if they value 'life,' maybe they won't kill her anyway? That's a real gambit, but... was there...

    For now, there is no point in being confrontational. You hold all of the cards and Weavile is helpless to you, to... an extent. You are unsure how much control he can exert once you awaken again. That could be a problem. Perhaps, in some ways, working with him could be to your benefit. But...

    Pokémon Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Hands of Creation
    Threadmarks: Special Episode 13: Some Heroes Fail

    Thanks for the feedback, Fobbie! Really happy to see the story picking up for you at this point. I gave you feedback on United, but in general, this is when the story finally picks up and starts giving hints to its "true" A plot, and the Guardian plot becomes more of a backdrop. Anyway, now...

    It has been a while since you were... here. Floating in nothing, weightless, bodiless. But this time, you are more aware of this fact. You are aware of time passing. You sense nearby... The plants and trees, and a Zoroark. But that is far, far away from you right now. This night, in this...

    That's correct.

    [Discussion] You Are a Rock

    @ShiniGojira Here's where discussion and questions can go, as you alluded to! Regarding how attack and defense works, it's very basic addition. The enemy's offense subtracted by your defense results in damage, to a minimum of 0. So yes, it's theoretically possible to be against a foe that...

    Pokémon In Beta

    Wow, I'm blown away -- that is precisely the inspiration behind much of this. The core of the conflict that happened in this story stems from the idea of someone coding safety-critical software under crunch time conditions. The only reason it happened is because the safety was for the software...

    Pokémon Hunger of Wishes

    Hey Joker! This'll be a review of the first chapter. I get the feeling I'll be reading a lot of this if you plan to use any characters from here for that thing I'll be running later in the year... But for now, just some feedback. First impressions are key: the summary is a little wordy and a...

    Original Dragon!

    Hey Umbra! This is a short one and I recognize it's just a rewrite/update to an old old origin story, but I think it's still worth a review for any patches and thoughts. Overall it was a cute and simple story about a dragon different from the others. The first line might be "he was" instead of...

    Time seems to slow down to a crawl once again. Trapped by a bunch of police and no time to give your story, in the body of the Pokemon who had just assaulted the retired Gym Leader. Fighting seems out of the question, even if perhaps you would have done well against mundane Pokemon in this...

    At first, it seemed like a bad idea to give in to those strange instincts. A blank check on what could be done, only a little fragment of temptation in the back of your mind with no way of knowing what would happen. But now, you realize you are out of options. Killing could have been the...

    Pokémon The Imitation Game (SV Spoilers)

    Hey there! This is a review for the first chapter, mostly with a focus on the context of it as an opening/introduction to the story as a whole. I liked that line of how she lost her whole future, which is a nice lore nod to how he was compared to Sada's general approach to things and...

    These abilities bubbling inside you swirl with temptation and a need for release. The circumstances are right. And yet, you resist this, sensing that there is much more utility in restraint. Deep within you, one of your abilities seems easier to work with with that in mind, though it requires...

    Now it's personal. Lenora, a target? All this fighting and not once were humans being targeted by civilized Pokemon. Humans didn't seem to fight. Lenora fought by summoning Pokemon. She does not look like a fighter herself. You break your cover just as Weavile fires at her. He spots you and...

    You know when you're outmatched. A skilled Weavile was not someone you could go one-on-one with in your current state. Something about Weavile's attacks felt deadly efficient. So, instead, you jump backward and utilize your powerful tackles... to get away. It's not quite a catapult, but it's...
