    Pokémon Context Switch (redux)

    Heya, hitting up the next stop on the review response train. I’ll admit that I honestly wasn’t expecting multiple takers for this story this year, so this was a real treat to see. Alright, onto the actual good stuff: @ShiniGojira @Nekodatta And back to rest this thread goes until the...

    Pokémon Context Switch (redux)

    Heya, it’s a bit of a tradition of mine to go around just before and just after Review Blitz every year to give responses to fics that I don’t have plans to update further down the road. Review Blitz isn’t here for a few more days, but I figured it’d be as good a time as any to tidy things up on...

    Eyyyy, I actually have new content today, so I’ve got a reason to reply to that last, lingering review outstanding before my planned pre-Review Blitz cleanup: @SparklingEspeon Though if you were double-taking at that opener, you read that correctly, I’ve got some new content for Context...

    Pokémon Context Switch (redux)

    Heya, took me a while, but plugging out the last of my review responses from Review Blitz for stories that aren't going to be bumping further in the future. I saved Context Switch's for last since it had some practical suggestions for fine-tuning that I wanted to apply to the work and I also ran...

    Yup. Tends to happen when an upstart suddenly shows up and starts competing with you for quality time with your trainer. Alas, I didn’t think of writing out the child method calls and slipping in an actual bug. There are a couple points in this chapter where I do do that though, so I hope you...

    Touched that up. Thanks for pointing it out. To be fair, that Bracket is probably significantly better-behaved than the one here. And there's not quite a 'Patricia' here even if it's still the same base character. As I'm sure you'll see in short order, her name in this story is a bit more tied...

    I mean, they do say to write what you know, and this story isn’t that far removed from what I do for a day job. Plus “everyday life” in a world full of superpowered beasties has always been a topic I’ve found fascinating, if a bit underexplored. I mean, I can see those sea tiles as clear as...
