  • Our "Weird and Wonderful" one-shot contest is now underway! Pokémon are strange and magical creatures, and for our writing contest this year, we want to see you higlight some of their oddest abilities and features! From stories about luxray thieves using X-ray vision to scope out targets to those about trainers bewitching opponents with their stantlers' mystic antlers, any sort of fic featuring a pokémon's unusual lore is welcome! Entries are due at 11:59 PM July 13th UTC.

    Pokémon Forever Catch [two-shot]
    Threadmarks: 2/2

    Hello everyone. Over a week delayed for the intended cross-post, but here it is, part numero 2 and final of the story about Deer Getting Things Wrong™. Before anything else tho, a few words from our sponsor reviewer, Adamhuarts: To be fair, Manectric have one of the best rawrs :p Just imagine...

    Xenofiction, Thoughts, Approaches, Styles, Worldbuilding, Etc

    Given the title of the thread, you could have fooled me! :unquag: Anyway, I thought I'd participate since most of what I write is Pokémon-centric with a side dish of hooman in it. Reading through the thread gave me a few impressions and stuff, but there's a lot of stuff going on and not much of...

    How much of the real world do you use in your fics?

    DID ANYONE SAY WORLDBUILDING? I could speak at length on how I do it but 1.- it's mostly meta since I dont have that much published material 2.- it's usually covered in the wiki and 3.- better to make some talk around here. So I hope y'all don't mind if I tackle this piecewise, although I'll...

    Animals in PMD stories

    I don't see any good reason to not just have normal animals in a PMD world. Not only do they have normal plants already (unless you want to be the xenofiction hard-ass one who does their world's trees non-IRL "non-trees"), but since in most interpretations of the setting PMD is already a...

    lol Discord went down again what's up

    Fortunately other services exist (I help maintain Jabber infrastructures in two communities, plus the company one). Also, I take it fortunately the forum minichat (with the status thingies) did not bork?

    Pokémon Weaversong

    ATTENTION NETIZEN YOU HAVE BEEN RANDOMLY SELECTED FOR A CUSTOMS REVIEW Continuing from the review of last time, because sure there's more to say about it! Boy don't we love to talk about it when the cosmic powers get it RRRRRRRONG. And as a result our hiro has to spend the first few scenes in...

    Pokémon Shining Pearl Snippets

    I've mentioned before in some other places as well how Ea-Nasir is one of the best things in this story, so I'm going to mention it again: Ea-Nasir is one of the best things in this story. You friggin' took one of the essentially longest-living memes ever, even if it went for a long time...

    Pokémon Beyond Today [PMD] [OS]

    Per popular request, I'm crossposting one of my award-winning one-shots to this community since it's admittedly been stuck at PC and AO3 for a while. As such, for your consideration: "Beyond Today", also my first foray into the world of PMD writing. This was originally posted in 2018 for...

    Pokémon Pokemon: Legends Sinjoh

    It was about time I got to comment here! I'm mostly copying this from the comment I left back at the AO3 release (since that's the one I'll be tracking) but with some minute changes, mostly for discoverability and because, come on, PL:A. With PLA coming up recently it was just a matter of time...

    Zinnia's Multiverse Madness! (Roleplay, March 4-13)

    [[ It seems I hadd lots to catch to and didn't expect the turn of events. Extraofficially I blame clients who don't get that they're doing things RRRRRRONG! ]] "What kind of creature was that?" Whatever had happened some minutes ago and whatever had emerged that Tiana was surely it was some...

    Zinnia's Multiverse Madness! (Roleplay, March 4-13)

    Tiana blinked a couple of times and shuffled about with an uneasy expression. "Don't mean to disrespect but... that... still doesn't explain any of what '*that*' was...?" Kalas and Tiana happened to hear as Wes made the comment. The Fearow held a long stare at the human, and then his focus...

    Zinnia's Multiverse Madness! (Roleplay, March 4-13)

    After the little spectacle was over, Tiana was left part surprised, part expectant that there would be some explanation for this. Not that she had never seen humans dance, it'sjust that particular kind of dance was unfamiliar to her. "That was very rhythmic and absolutely non-unelegant," she...

    Zinnia's Multiverse Madness! (Roleplay, March 4-13)

    Kalas had caught a glimpse of a nod from Robin back there, though he was pleasantly surprised by the more measured smile and the more carefree laugh that came afterward. "I guess I don't have to worry I went overboard with the dare," he said to no one in particular. Down the Floatzel went...

    Zinnia's Multiverse Madness! (Roleplay, March 4-13)

    "Yeah," Kalas answered heartily. "You know, when you want to imitate a helicopter to look fun to the hu—" He suddenly cut himself short and facepalmed with a wing. "Riiiiight, different universes. Uhhh... there's this thing some Buizel back home do for entertainment, jumping into the air and...

    Zinnia's Multiverse Madness! (Roleplay, March 4-13)

    Kalas gave an energetic nod at Rodion and put his mind to work fast. "Just hold right there for a mo'" he said, then he took flight and glided to perch on top of a tall security booth overseeing a ball pit, all conveniently located no more than one paragraph of walking away. "Here, I have one...

    Zinnia's Multiverse Madness! (Roleplay, March 4-13)

    [[ You fools, you have unblocked my power to write short posts! That I wish I could use more often ]] Kalas gave out a sigh after a moment. "Enough of me, detective work is not that 'lit' as the fledglings say." He looked around checking the other contestants, until his eyes sighted Rodion...

    Zinnia's Multiverse Madness! (Roleplay, March 4-13)

    [[continuing from the game, can I have Kalas ToD someone else?]] [[ Back or forth in time at the point of that conversation ]] Kalas cawed. "...Uh... The furlowhat? That trend has a name?" He made motion to explain himself to Dave. "Erm, kind of came up? Not what I wanted to draw attention...

    Zinnia's Multiverse Madness! (Roleplay, March 4-13)

    Kalas could not *not* show some admiration at the idea of lasting five minutes in a fight. "Oh believe me, there's much stronger and better prepared Pokémon and humans where I come from, I was with Detectives, wasn't really what you'd call a SWAT mon." [[ Yeah because alas Fearow are not very...
