    Fifth Anniversary Drabble Bingo

    F it we go at it, even if I'm not at full health I do at least want to try be in the event. Sprinkle me a drabbly bingoy blend: pseudo/legendaries having lives, Pokémon meeting old friends, distractions before an important Battle.

    That one scene...

    Okay, so, I'm still not fully sure what was the question, but uuuuh assuming it's basically something like "the scene that made you realize yes, you'll have to write your story" damn you non-auto-correcting outlines in this good year of Arceus of 2024? One candidate would be the pivotal scene...

    Pokemon Day Discussions - SPOILERS FOR THE DIRECT

    I'll be fair I'd be totally go with going to the French Revolution but with Pokémon, given a few factors. It'd be able to host an interesting and more deeply contextual take on the fight for human rights - given it's considered the "end of feudalism" until its modern digital resurgence, compared...

    What Forum Style Are You Using? (Early 2024)

    I'm on dreamshade like any cool person. Tested Bright Skies but it felt more like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Skies. Defo haven't checked the Xenforo default but if it's... well, the Xenforo default, there's not much of interest there.

    Twitch Plays Thousand Roads. [DISCUSSION]

    This is a thing I've seen done a few times probably, although I have to admit I never paid them enough attention to learn their mechanics or observe their dynamics. If anything, it's quite a fun experiment to see when it works. I'm just a person sometimes but I'm telling you of my vibes here...

    Pokémon wuv in, well, Pokémon

    Owing to the special date of yesterday, but also today because love should last all year long~ It's easy to write romance and stuff between humans, but other species also need that special feeling (not to mention a reason to breed, otherwise how do we get specimens with cool abilities). And...

    Pokémon Tricks of the Love Fast [Valentine's Nidorans]

    uwu wat's this? a story with bnuuys? Yes it is. This is a project that started as a oneshot (I swear) but that kinda grew into a plot because Nidorans are cute. It's a bit more of slice of life stuff (for now) with my couple of Inka and Baluarkos from that other story about blue doors, but...

    Trainer and Pokemon World Economics

    We are currently using Fic Discussion for that, but I might take you at your word and see if I can file issue to open up a Worldbuilding subforum. I'm admittedly not sure it's specifically needed - most of the stuff it would currently need to cover is already organized into a fic discussion...

    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...
