    Trainer and Pokemon World Economics

    I feel like this is m ore a worldbuilding question, unless we are looking for whatvever canonical information there is in the games...? Anyway. I avoid microeconomics and specifics, such as giving items prizes or detailing any payment method other than "cash", mostly because it's an easy way...

    Pokémon Peregrine

    What if I told you that an Orre story caught my attention? And not just because Espeon + Umbreon = good. Because it means a review for the 2023 Blitz! From what I gather, Peregrine is about Wes (and by extension, Espeon and Umbreon) (oh and Rui, too) in Johto. Sounds like an interesting...

    Pokémon Starlight's Fourth Anniversary Drabble Collection

    Dun dun duuuun, the dragon / cat / something has descended for a Blitz Review of your little drabble: "Sky Pillar". I mean, it's 8.8 / Not Enough Trumpets content and is about Sky Pillar so hopefully there's a dragon / noodle in it? Would be awesome. Dragon count: 1. So from what I get at...

    Blitz 2023: Self-Promo and Review Exchange Thread

    I has good PMD-adjacent warez if you has some read. If you like side stories and you like PMD: Explorers or PMD: Gates, well why not take a look around: Beyond Today: PMD: One-shot Explorers post-canon. Gesta is the leader of a new team who want to graduate to hunting down outlaws some day...

    Pokémon Final Ascent

    You have been chosen! As one of the stories I'll review for my attempt at Review Blitz. Why? Because I wanted to take a look at what other people write canon-PMD like, tbh. Right at the start it's written in second person, which is something that at least for stories based on the PMD canon...

    What do you expect to see in a lore doc?

    To begin with, I'd like to thank both of you for providing your feedback. I can already see some things that I had previously ignored under a kind of "taken for granted" perception, so now I have more interesting things to write into the doc, too! This is probably something I'll need to take...

    How would Pokemon perceive historical world leaders?

    Ooooh well, this largely depends on how aware are your Pokémon of the scope of what those leaders are doing. Since the once thing about Pokémon perception-wise is that, discounting stuff like psychic perception, empathetic detection, ~*Aura*~ etc, they are also supposed to be far more in-tune...

    What do you expect to see in a lore doc?

    S'up everyone. I've been working for a while on a new setting for Pokémon stories. It's going to, in general, be a Pokécentric / "PMD‑without‑the‑MD" world. Don't want to bossrush you with the details (who am I kidding, ofc I wanna) but the thing is, besides the obvious that I'm going to...

    How would people react to a Real Life Competitive battler?

    Pokémon are already established in at least three canons to be sapient and smarter than animals. Someone being a "competitivebro" is... just not gonna end nicely for them, either from how humans would react nor from how Pokémon would react. Maybe these competitivebros can get a strong hold over...

    How do you organize your characters?

    Good work, people who use offline services! Just to make sure you can always add random notes about your characters even if the internet is down. Modern pen and paper, for a modern age. I myself use a Dokuwiki wiki to store info about the characters (and pretty much everything else, but here...

    Worldbuilding Fails

    Toot-your-own-horn moment but I think my worldbuilding has been solid enough that there are no big fails, at least nothing that would potentially break a story or undo the development of a given character. That said, I'm safe so far *mostly* thanks to my ongoing story format being the...

    Pokémon Spotlight

    Honestly I should have touched upon this one sooner but. Ya know. Life. Anyway, let's talk about foxxos. I'm told IRL foxxos are magical so it's only fair Pokémon foxxos are more magical. Ninetales — A long-term player Ninetales are the final evolution of Mikon, but the infant form is so...

    Pokémon Spotlight

    As per usual, subject to further revisions. Mew does not feature in Suocéverse onscreen materials to this date, but its clone, Mewtwo, can be seen in Overlord. Everything else ATM is supplemental material. Mew — Like a Cat but Better Mew is a Psychic-type Pokémon, an ancient species that has...

    Pokémon (2023 Drabble Bingo) 💖 Rotom's Charming Angels 💖

    Very definitively an interesting premise of a show to watch. I've followed other takes on Pokémon + Magical Girls before and this one reads like in-universe it would maintain much of the elements that made the charm (punintended lol) of Charlie's Angels in its various releases. I'm especially...

    Fourth Anniversary Celebration

    Defo a good call participating of the Drabble Bingo. Was fun, and in general enjoyable seeing the larger anniversary event. As for the forum companion I get for totally inventing new stories, how about a Blaziken?

    Threadmarks: Fiery Disposition

    Fiery Disposition Bingo Entry: "Power Reveals" Miria didn’t love flowers *that* much, but she loved that her mother did, and they could spend time like that in the genetic garden. What she liked more, what her Pokémon did, was defeating renowned opponents. Every time an opponent would...
