    Blitz 2022: Hype & Fic Recs Thread

    My fic recommendations for this week are: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: The Phantasmagoria, by @Z2H. It’s a story about a human, Liam, who had a turbulent life as a human but starts in the world of Celestic with a clean slate. Over time, though, he begins to recall memories of his former life, and...

    Pokémon BAD EGG

    So this one caught my attention while scrolling through oneshots that still count for the Week 3 bonus of Review Blitz 2022. It’s about the consequences of Action Replay, hm? That concept is intriguing. Very intriguing, indeed. So let’s get into it… —- Of course when you have absurd power at...

    Pokémon A Tale from Pinwheel Forest

    Since this week’s theme is about unsung chapters, I thought I’d give my opinion in this oneshot that caught my attention. Let’s get into it. —- So this is a tale about how a budding trainer met one of his closest Pokémon. I like this sort of origin story, about where and how they met. Plus...

    Pokémon Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Hands of Creation

    It’s about time I got around to reading more HoC. I read up until the first Special Episode some time back, but no more than that. Of course, though, thanks to the Review Blitz being on, now’s the time to make some more progress on one of the longest fics in the PMD fandom. (And boy, is this a...

    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Path of Valor

    Well, back again for another review! And since this week’s Review Blitz theme is of unsung chapters, I thought I’d seize on reviewing this new chapter that I haven’t read yet. So let’s get into it. This is mostly me noting down things that stick out to me as I read. — Hmm…there’s less of an...

    Blitz 2022: Hype & Fic Recs Thread

    So I read a few oneshots this week in line with the theme, and there were definitely some great ones. One that particularly stuck out to me was: Dark-Clothed Small Human, by @Shiny Phantump This is a story about Type: Null being rescued from captivity by Gladion, all from Null’s point of view...

    Pokémon Walls

    Given this week’s theme in the Review Blitz 2022 is oneshots, I thought I’d try my hand at reviewing a few of them, and this was among the ones that caught my attention. Let’s get into it. —- This is quite an interesting backstory of interaction between Nanu and Guzma. First of all, I...

    Pokémon Edgeworth

    Given that the theme for this week of Blitz 2022 is about oneshots, I figured I’d see the oneshots on offer, and this one caught my eye, not least because of its Ace Attorney sounding title. (Of course, from what I’m aware this oneshot has nothing to do with that.) Let’s get into it. —-...

    Pokémon Dark-Clothed Small Human

    Since this week’s theme in the 2022 Blitz is oneshots, I might try my hand at reviewing this one. The opening certainly paints a grim picture of the Type: Null in captivity. It’s a sad feeling of submission being instilled into them, and moreso when they realise it’s useless to fight back...

    Pokémon Once a Thief

    So this is a fic I’ve been meaning to delve into for a while now. I’ve seen it been offered up many times in Review Tags off forum, and it has intrigued me, especially with the mention of its Xeno references. As a big fan of Xenoblade, I look forward to seeing what this has to offer. Alas, I...

    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Path of Valor

    Right. Didn’t read the most recent chapter upon its release, but what better time to get caught up than the Review Blitz? (And as a certain blue horned alien said: “You scratch our back? We’ll scratch yours!”) My thoughts forthcoming. — Chapter 51 Review So Dragapult don’t think infants...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 21 - Seeds of Doubt and Hope

    Chapter 21 Seeds of Doubt and Hope Hi Mom, I hope you're doing well, because I'm not. Things have taken a bit of a turn for the worse for us. We were in Rusalka doing a mission, and somehow, we happened to come across not one, but two marshals from before five years ago! What a coincidence...

    Chapter 20 Cornered "...Strange. The boat's not usually this late," Yuliya noted. "Has there been a delay?" "Oh, you haven't heard?" another voice chipped in, one that was taunting and teasing. "The boat's purposefully being held up so the passengers aboard don't come into contact with wanted...

    Chapter 19 Scouting Out Allies "You're thinking too hard about this, Arian," Elvira said to him. "I know it's important that we find clues to these mysteries, but…you shouldn't do so at the cost of sleep." "I know, I know," Arian replied, before he let out a yawn. "But I have to. I might be...
