  • 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 Hunter, Haunted

    Thank you for the lovely review, ShiniGojira! The reason Pokémon can talk in this universe actually is precisely because of the Twitch Plays origin. Twitch Plays lore made several of the team members of the games' main characters into fully-fledged people, and I didn't want to lose that when I...

    @StolenMadWolf Thanks for the review! It's totally fine that this isn't your thing! You gave it a fair shot and it just wasn't in the cards. I do want to mention a few things before you go, though, so that you're left with a more accurate understanding of what this story's trying to do. I...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    I think it's been quite some time since you read the first chapter, so I don't blame you for forgetting that there were talking pokémon in it. But yeah, pokémon can learn to talk in this universe. This actually receives an indirect retroactive explanation in The Bringer: there are talismans in...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    I think I may have old backup copies tucked somewhere, and some sites do have previous versions up, but I haven't specifically tried to preserve the older versions. They don't really have anything in them that I'd hate to lose. The insanity plea thing may have been some kind of spitballing I...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Just Pallet - HH!Kanto is much larger than the game Kanto, so Celadon would be a few hours away. A TPP thing! Red's brother, Abe, was the protagonist of the anniversary Red playthrough. In this universe, though, he didn't get the Twitch. Red mostly has a non-Red first name because the name...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Omg juicy review :quag: This is something that has tripped up multiple people - but yes, HIM and the magic Red uses are supposed to be real, and it isn't supposed to be ambiguous. This story isn't going to be going for the "oooh it's all in le head" trope (for that aspect), and it's probably...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Thanks for the review! Well, the fact is that the second prologue is not actually far from the rest of the story in style. Both prologues show elements that are present in successive chapters - the first shows how Red is when he's deep into his whole Helixian priest persona, and the second...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Ohhh my goddd I'm so happy reading your comments 😊😊😊 Thank you so much for the kind words! Yeah, the whole HELIX thing is admittedly a mess. Little Helix being tied to HELIX is basically 100% just because of the fic's origins in TPP, which is why Little Helix isn't even going to be a character...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Thanks for the review! Gastly are able to create illusions in the anime, like in the episode with the infamous mongoose and Venustoise. Since I don't think it's addressed in the story: sapience is required to speak human languages (unless you're just parroting words), but there are many...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Thank you for the kind words! So initially I was all "...FUCK" here, but thinking about it more, it actually makes sense in this universe that he didn't try anything with pokéballs because in HHverse pokémon can self-release depending on the ball and their sapience level. Since Joanna is...

    NOTE: this post is in the wrong spot. this post should be after chapter 14, but i misremembered that it should be between 13 and 14 and posted it here. come back to this post once you're done with chapter 14. posting here to say that the midquel oneshot vivarium has been uploaded in another...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Thirteen - It's Over

    EDIT: so since i posted this i have done more research on how the police and the justice system works, and i am aware that there are weird things here. however, i am quite tired of editing this story (the fanfic version specifically) by now, so i'm gonna let it be like it is. you are allowed to...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Thanks for the review exchange! Yep, you're correct. Red has trauma in regards to PCs since those were the site of many deaths and stressful situations. Real! This is actually based on a real building I visited at the start of my mental health journey. Correct! Joe's a character from the...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Twelve - The Skin

    hello everybody! it's been a while, almost a year. but this time the wait was at least partially intentional so it doesn't count. i've been recovering from my terrible mental health episode and a few days ago i finally found myself ready to pick this story up again - yep, a few days! it's record...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Haha uhhh well the bad news is that HH goes into the TPP stuff very little. This is partly because it would clog up the rest of the story and partly because that stuff was dealt with more in Seiren, the story that comes chronologically before HH. Helix (the little one) plays a much larger role...
