Not sure how that would work in this case, since it's completely covered in metal. Plus, I think it would show off how practical Bradley is as a trainer. He's devaluing a potentially one of a kind Pokémon (depending on how you interpret the lore) because it'll create a battler that the...
I’m hoping Karn’s a Steelix. The planeswalker and the Pokemon kind of have the same coloring.
I'm still taken with the idea of a crystal Onix evolving into a Steelix, if only to have the entire world of Pokemon collector's flip their shit when you 'ruin' a rare variant.
This is now my second favorite Pokemon trainer SI of all time. I feel like every other chapter has new ideas about Pokemon tactics or the setting I haven't seen before. Great stuff, looking forward to the next chapter already.
I had the thought that maybe the duo was a two-headed Onix/Steelix...
This was a decent read so far. I'm hoping you end up being picky about what content from BG3 you include.
The biggest issue I have with video game fanfiction in general is when writers try to include every piece of content from a game when a lot of it just isn't that interesting when it's not...
I really like the letter rank being a representation of a level cap. One of the cleanest "system" implementations I've seen.
Very curious about the Gyarados. I'm wondering if a clan's specialized training can make it surpass it's limits, or maybe there are other factors that can effect the...
Good chapter. The one line that made me pause was the one about the grandpa saying Sam is in their "class". This is just my opinion, but I'm not sure that's how someone would approach that idea. From my experience, people talk around it, "he's not one of us" or "I don't think she's right for...
This is fun. I'm still not 100% sure what his motivations are, but things don't need to make sense in this universe. And he's building such a house of cards. If these people ever talk to each other, he could end up looking like the most manipulative piece of shit ever. But I suppose it's no...
I'm not sure how I feel about regular fake evolutions, but I've always thought that most pokemon should have homebrewed mega variants. There are many breeds from the earlier games that don't have one and it kind of messes with the lore a bit when an established powerhouse of a character uses one...
Great story, particularly love your interpretation of alpha Pokemon. I think you've shown a lot of restraint with your SI, which is rare to see in a Pokemon fic. Your main character feels powerful, but not all-knowing, which is what I think a lot of Pokemon SI fics get wrong. A lot of them feel...
Really great stuff, was disappointed when I got to the end. I find the main character very amusing.
I think people are going to underestimate him just because he doesn't have the durability of an adventurer, and I'm looking forward to their revelation that he could probably destroy a good...
This was a fun read. Looking forward to seeing how it develops.
Not sure if it was mentioned in the thread or not, but there are some cultural details about the Dothraki that I think could be integrated into the story.
When the Dothraki are defeated in battle, they have to cut off the braid...
Read the original story and this in one sitting and enjoyed the experience. I do however agree with some that it seems intentionally biased and that it weakens the stories as a whole. The way that bias is so transparent in the writing made me feel like there weren’t any stakes and kept me from...
So this chapter felt like a "jumped the shark" moment with the harem stuff. It's just radically different than the previous incarnations of the story and gives it a more campy feel. There was a bit of camp in the other work but I felt like overall it was more grounded in a realistic take than...
Not the harem route! Lol
Glad to see an update to this. I'm liking the rework a lot more because Daisuke's progression is just a bit slower which allows him the social interactions that were missing in the original.
I always have a hard time wrapping my head around how useful summons really are and this chapter really got me thinking again. I mean, with canon boss level summons, it's obvious. But I always felt Kakashi's dog summons (and subsequently Rei's rats) would be more of a liability with the...
Hey man, I’m sensing some aggression. My disagreement is nothing personal. I just like to have good debates.
But back to Lee. I always favored the fanon theory that the malformed coils only affected control and not use. Which is why he can empower his taijutsu and use the gates, because those...
Sinnerlust
Sure, Lee’s chakra coils might be fanon. But it’s a realistic fanon interpretation of a vague character flaw. He’s unable to use ninjutsu or genjutsu. Why? Because he’s talentless? That’s a bad shounen-flavor reason that really doesn’t hold up when you think about it for a bit. He...
I feel like the side cast are getting fluffed out as their own characters now. In the original, they all seemed to orbit around Daisuke. This version is much better.
