  • 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 Context Switch (redux)

    Long awaited and finally here, I’m finally finally reading again! Apologies that it took so long, but I’m sure you’ve seen some of my IRL issues on the discord lately and it’s been a rough go. But, I’m here now and no more excuses! Chapter 1 I never really considered a story from the...

    CW: Blood/Violence, harsh language, mentions of suicidal thoughts (in later chapters) This is a part of the Journey series. While knowledge of the other fics in the series is not required, it may enhance your reading experience. The Hero, From Another Story The First Loss Footsteps echoed...

    Pokémon Wonderful Winter Wishes

    A day late for catnip (my concussion decided to rear it’s head), but I’m finally here! A Christmas Silver fic? Sign me up for Mr angry angst learning the “True Meaning of Christmas”. or rather, “Winter Wishes” here. I’m always down for writer’s takes on earth holidays adapted into the...

    Pokémon Salvage

    It’s Super Catnip time! No time wasting, let’s goooooo!! Quick scan of 6 to refamiliarize myself with where the story is. Chapter 7 Shit, I feel like you’ve drawn a lot of inspiration from Animorphs for the Child’s brand of body horror. Given how I do know you’ve mentioned Animorphs on...

    Pokémon Of Sand and Shadows

    BLITZ BOMB TIME Chapter 6 Lol, Wes is NOT gonna get rid of Rui that easily. Especially when Neo and Novo are as attached as they are. I sincerely love when stories constantly have a “what now” feeling and OSAS seems to fit that dynamic perfectly. Phenac lockdown time! I bet it’s gonna go...

    Pokémon Salvage

    Alright! So, I’m here for the catnip Blitz! Full disclosure, I’ve read this fic before on FFN. I’ve told you before that this fic is actually one of my inspirations in fanfic. So, it’s a shame that I’ve never reviewed it before (I blame the crippling anxiety). On to the review! Chapter 1 I...

    Pokémon The Prince Who Travelled Through Time

    BLITZ exchange time! Prologue: Barry and Marley as the king and queen of a Galar Empire? Like... the Barry and Marley from DPPt? And the SwSh PC is their son? I think? Either way he’s a well trained, but untested warrior who is being sent to quell some sort of “barbarian” raids along with...

    Pokémon The Myriad Investigations of Detective Oscar [One-Shot Collection]

    Catnip BLITZ I am not usually a PMD reader, but I’m a sucker for detective stories and the atmosphere of this one seems so light and easy. I love the casual banter between Oscar and Beningo as they work through the opening stages of the case. Speaking of, this almost felt like something ripped...

    Pokémon Playfield [10yr Anniversary Edition]

    Roulette Time!!! A very ominous opening. I haven’t read enough of your works. This is very atmospheric and very much my kind of vibe. Oh shit that seems like a LOT of fire. That’s very NOT good and I’m wondering what could possibly be behind it. This is a very effective and affecting way of...

    Pokémon Like a Dragon

    A Guarding Dragon Oh? A flapple short? I love the concept of this collection already. Such an underused mon, yet there’s so much there to be expanded upon. A flapple as a guardian of an orchard? I’ve seen you describe some of your stuff on discord and the forum before, but conceptually it’s...

    Pokémon White Swan, Black Swan

    It’s been a while since my last review for this, so I’ll recap my stream of thoughts as I read through the first 5 chapters! Recap thoughts: A new prologue? That or I only read the old one… either way, I really like them as a complement to each other. Sets up Florent as some clear kind of big...

    Blitz 2022: Self-Promo & Review Exchange Thread

    Alright everyone! I’m off vacation, I’m caught upon my catnips and ready to shill! All my stories linked here should be considered rated M for Violence. Some elements of body horror are present in the main story. Journey is my massive interconnected series that’s currently building towards a...

    Pokémon The Last Strike

    Alright! It’s delayed and long overdue, but your double destinies catnip is finally here! I really do like the opening argument. It was a little tricky to figure out who was speaking and what they were, but once I did I found the character dynamics to be really solid (And I loved the inhuman...

    Pokémon Journey
    Special Episodes: Nightmare

    Nightmare The night was black. That was not unusual. The night was always black in Alamos Town. Nestled atop an isolated mesa to the north of the Oreburgh Valley, it was shielded from the radiant light of Jubilife and Hearthome by the small peaks of the Ravaged Path in the west and by the...

    Pokémon Curse (one-shot)

    Holy hell, I knew from the title alone (and experience with some of your other works) that this would hit the feels. It definitely reads like a solid gut punch. From the moment you introduce her, it’s clear that Kari cares deeply for her pokemon. Her bond with her dragonite is so evident. Makes...

    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Free Fiction

    Catnip time! I’m not a huge PMD guy but I’ll refrain from mentioning it during your review. As well, I’m available on discord if you’d like to discuss anything further. This almost seems like it’s from an Omnipotent being’s perspective here. Unsure if that’s intentional or a traditional start...

    Pokémon Darkest Day: The Aftermath Pilot Intro

    Alright! It’s late, but I’m here! I mentioned it in a DM to you, but I feel like this does serve as an effective prologue. It hits the right beats, it introduces a central mystery, and it makes me want to know more. I do feel like there are a few clunky places, but they really don’t detract and...
