    Blitz 2024: Hype and Rec Thread

    So, if you were paying any attention to my week 2 output, it should come as no surprise that my recommendation is @SnapDragon's PMD: Flowerbeds. In some fit of craziness I managed to catch up on the entire thing this week. Which, given the meaty chapter sizes, is no small feat. It therefore...

    Pokémon Broken Things

    I am back in an effort at getting points for custom vulpix sprite purposes. 1.8 -Oh, so she didn't actually meet her mother's pokémon for a good while after she was born. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised her father would keep that information from her and keep the pokémon out of the picture...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 104: Dark Tidings

    Chapter 104: Dark Tidings Gene had stood on this charcoal ground countless times before. In the past, the red sky gave way to a swirling black cyclone on the horizon. Now, though, that cyclone was close enough for the mewtwo to see all the crystal shards and jet-black debris swirling around the...

    Pokémon PMD: Flowerbeds

    43 -This chapter's going to be singing-themed, which means it's about that prim— oh, yep, there's Marigold. -Huh. This tense opening with the girls pinged me as familiar... and I think that this is actually the "later" chapter I had skimmed over points of to try and see if I could draw any...

    Pokémon Do Psychic Cats Dream of Electric Sheep?

    It's now occurring to me that the previous chapter is basically your take on Harry grabbing the Portkey Triwizard Cup and getting yeeted to the site of Voldemort's revival. I should've put two and two together from the get go. So, uh, when's the chapter depicting Tricky spreading flees to...

    Pokémon PMD: Flowerbeds

    Let us continue. Though it's not formally labeled as such, the constant past/present shifting that's happening here coupled with your explanation about how there was once a 30k word :unquag: chapter makes me feel like this is the Fenn's backstory special episode. 38 -I can't honestly peg the...

    Pokémon PMD: Flowerbeds

    I'm apparently a glutton for punishment. Or I just want a little custom vulpix sprite. Either way, fuck it. We ball. 32 -C'mon, Ozzy. You can tell Finch that Swift doesn't like you because daddy issues. -Oswald's priorities are all over the place that he's emblematic of that old "I have no idea...

    Pokémon PMD: Flowerbeds

    Merry blitzmas! Disclaimer: My blitz reviews are stream of consciousness styled rambles. Let me know if you have any questions. Since this is going chapter by chapter of these fairly old chapters I'm probably going to focus mostly on the plot. And may not cover that many of them, since a decent...

    Pokémon Once a Thief

    27 -As a reader, I'm not sure I buy Sophia's claim of Irune caring for the whole team. I could maybe see it with Lyle since they'd had the most time together and it seems like they've mutually comforted one another a couple of times. And I think she maybe had one moment with Dalton? But still...

    Pokémon Places We Call Home

    This sounds like the name of a group you'd see in Paper Mario. Made up entirely of Snifits. I suppose I should've expected a few dogs. Another zor— okay, yeah, definitely another zoroark. The first half of this appears to be following up on the previous interlude, which IIRC involved a treecko...

    Blitz 2024: Hype and Rec Thread

    Week 1 rec is undoubtedly preaching to the choir. It's @Persephone's Broken Things. I recall reading its first incarnation, though I only had vague recollections of some of the characters and that there was a reality show backdrop to the trainer journey through Alola. The new version has done...

    Pokémon Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Students of Moonlight

    Narrator: They will go horribly wrong. She won't come back home. Y'know, what if a really large pokémon wants to live in this castle? If it was made for humans, they're out of luck. Okay, so. If you want to show someone cutting themselves off, or going on a different train of thought...

    Gotta Write ‘Em All! A Written Role Call

    I'm just going to stick to prominent characters I've used in Guiding Light and Path of Valor. I probably missed a few here and there, but I didn't want this taking me forever.

    Pokémon Do Psychic Cats Dream of Electric Sheep?

    Waaaaaaaaaaaait a tic. Isn't that just— Yeah, okay, this is the anime version of the Rescue Team plopped into the gameverse. I guess I took the name and applied it to the duo from the Rescue Team manga, so I'll let you off the hook for the royalties. A team of all cats? Wait. Okay, this has...

    Pokémon Broken Things

    So, I know I'd read the original version of this back in the day™. Don't think I ever touched the remake. Although V2 seems to have gotten much, much farther than the original. To where its word count is beating my current stuff. Ain't no way I'm getting through it in this style. And the...

    Pokémon Once a Thief

    I'm only covering three chapters because [looks at chapter word count] good lord. 24 -The problem with trying to describe things people just inherently know the names of is that it's often done awkwardly. Case in point, it took me a second to realize you were describing the remains of an...

    Pokémon Pokemon: Legendary Adventures

    Okay, maybe I can actually get caught up this year. [looks at chapter word count and still sweats profusely] 25 -So there is an Iron Island "arc" and I'm guessing all the chapters that are Iron X delineate it because themed naming and whatnot. -Am I misremembering or wasn't there a fake suicune...

    Pokémon Pathways to Arcadia

    Now I'm just imagining all these demons look like Clive Rosfield. Thanks, FFXVI. Interesting way of going about Hidden Power. I do wonder if this was something you had planned for a while, back before Hidden Power got Thanos'd out of everyone's move sets and made exclusive to unown. Oh...

    Pokémon Do Psychic Cats Dream of Electric Sheep?

    Okay, time to get caught up for realz. 1-12 -The classic nightmare chapter start. I think this is an introduction to Dark Matter. It even messes with the formatting a little bit in what I can only assume is a nod to its aLTeRNAtiNG CaPs talking style. (One that's easier on the eyes, at least.)...
