    Pokémon One Hundred Tiny Plays About Hoenn

    Hey, Fennel! This seems like a really neat idea--I haven't read the source material, but at least so far, these tiny plays are a delight. I don't know if you're British yourself, but a couple of these seem to have that flair to them. In the very first, Yvonne seems like exactly that stereotype...

    Pokémon The Legendarian Chronicles

    It's been a while, but it's nice to get caught up with LC once again. Seeing Stracion again was an unexpected, fun turn of events. I'm glad she shows up again, even if we won't be seeing her much or at all past this point; she always had such a big personality that she felt larger than a...

    Pokémon Speak Not of the Children

    I seem to have been assigned two fics for Catnip where both have "Children" in the title and involve a narrator reflecting on bygone times. Strange coincidence, but I'm not mad about it. I enjoyed revisiting this fic! There's a real Calvin and Hobbes energy to this chapter, where we get to see...

    Pokémon Dragonspiral's Children (redux)

    All right, catnip time! I haven't read much of your work outside the PMD sphere, so this is an interesting change of pace. I definitely see parallels with the themes you explore in your other stories, though; this one, too, feels like it could be a family-friendly television show, though leaning...

    Pokémon Places We Call Home

    Hey, Wind! I am of course back to catch up on Places We Call Home. It's too bad I only have four chapters to enjoy this time, but I know you've been having a ton of fun with your Deltarune story, which is awesome. There's a real feeling of dread that hangs over these chapters; you can tell that...

    Pokémon tarnishing

    Hey, kyeugh! At this point there isn't too much that you've published that I haven't commented on, but I never finished reviewing tarnishing, so here I am for Chapter 3! It's hard to call this chapter "fun," maybe, since it continues a run of heartbreaking events for Silver. The conversation...

    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Embered Truths

    I totally missed that you posted a third chapter! It was fun to see the first mystery dungeon here. One of my favorite aspects of mystery dungeons is how weird they can get, the sorts of fantastical environments that can exist there that don't anywhere else. And Branchy Cage is a lot of fun in...

    Pokémon Truths and Reflections (Oneshot)

    Hello, what's this? An N and Reshiram/Zekrom story, one of my favorite fanfic subjects? :eyes: There's a lot of fun stuff in here, both with respect to the relationship between N and Reshiram and with respect to the worldbuilding and the situation that they find themselves in. I really enjoyed...

    Pokémon The Princess and the Post (One-Shot)

    Hey, Fennel! Glad to see a one-shot from you here. I have to say, I went into this expecting a cute slice-of-life with Erika, only to be surprised and delighted that it's something else entirely! You do a wonderful job of building up the atmosphere here. The usual elements one would expect from...

    Pokémon Hoenn for the Holidays (one shot)

    Hey, Pano, great to see you posting again! I always enjoy your Elite stories, and this one is no exception. Definitely reminded me of white elephant swaps I've experienced myself; I'm the one over there with poor Phoebe trying to figure out which packages are least likely to contain alcohol. As...

    Pokémon Blood is Thicker Than Poison

    Hey, Tetra! Popping back in to check out the couple extra chapters you added just in time for Blitz. I was aware that Drake was on the streets from a young age, but somehow I'd forgotten that his parents literally just left the region without him after he ran away from home??? That's absolutely...

    Blitz 2025: Prize Claim Thread

    Addressed on Discord, but for the benefit for anyone following the thread: no. If you get a prize you don't want in the raffle, you can give it to someone else if you'd like. If you'd like to buy a prize for someone else, you can do that by donating points to them during the donation period. I...

    I don't know any Latin myself, so I can only go with what the internet says about this one. But...

    I don't know any Latin myself, so I can only go with what the internet says about this one. But it's from a quote attributed to Seneca, "Ignis aurum probat, miseria fortes viros." Supposedly that means something like, "As fire tempers gold, so does adversity temper strong men." So ignis aurum...

    Blitz 2025: Prize Claim Thread

    @K_S @ShiniGojira The point donation period only happens after the initial prize claim period and the raffle conclude, so you can't claim anything with donated points yet. If you still need the points, there are level three art prizes left, and Tango agrees to the donation, then you can make...

    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Path of Valor

    Hey, Ambyssin! I missed visiting PoV last year, but I'm back now for Chapters 26-35. Not really an ideal place to stop, but to be honest I was having trouble finding one in this stretch. There's always something going on! That in general was a highlight for me in this section; you always show a...

    Pokémon What the Gods Gave Me

    Hey, tomatorade! Delighted to be back for Part 2 of WtGGM. It's been a good ride so far, and I'm looking forward to more chapters. Things are going great here so far--I think this is the most characters announcing they're going to kill somebody that I've seen outside of a gangster story. And...
