Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
FFN is a good starting point, but I like the forum discussion format better. No troll Guest reviews or people throwing questions into the void.
Plus I enjoy putting wiki links into the text when bringing up an obscure character.
My Google Doc of the next chapter of South Blue is at about 6k words right now.
It’s getting closer, I just haven’t had time to finish it up. Get it to where I want it.
It’ll happen eventually.

Goddamn, who pissed in her cornflakes?
"Hmph." Clair casts her eyes down at me from the raised platform, a not so subtle curl of disapproval on her lower lip. "So this is the trainer my little cousin lost to? The one who commands an Alpha, and yet now he comes...
A fair point. My initial thought is that the Orb need not be anything clunky. It doesn't have to be any larger than a big marble on a necklace.
We could go max unfair by doing a fake tooth thing or just having Gliscor swallow it,
But that drifts a little too far from 'cheese' I think...
I'm of the mind that a Pokemon should not be able to simply inflict Toxic on themselves. It's their own internal energy that's powering the poison so why would it be corrosive and harmful to them? (There might be exceptions with things like Magic Bounce shenanigans but that's whole can of...
Unfortunately, if you go all the way back to Chapter 2, you'll see Toxic Orb is one of the Held Items that doesn't seem to be around in this world. Along with other fan favorites from the games like Leftovers and Eviolite.

He's at a Pokémon Center.

Has he been sick?

That doesn't sound right. He thinks he'd know if he'd been ill.

'I'm sorry.' the Nurse Joy said. 'I just don't know what to make of it. Physically, he's perfectly...
I actually did consider this route. (And Bradley’s going to ponder if that might be the case.) But I didn’t want to put myself in a position where half the readership thinks I backtrack my decisions just because some reviewers don’t like the fakemon inclusion.
This is a fair point. But I think I'll just commit to the dual-type. I hit the publish button with it there, may as well stay the course.
It's honestly not going to matter much. Even with this reveal, Bradley's not going to be suddenly encountering this snake everywhere he goes. It's main...
I don't plan to. This was just to serve as an introduction to the concept. That there may be evolutions possible that Bradley himself is not aware of.
Unfortunately no. Once Dudunsparce came into existence, any chance of Dunseraph fully died. For the second half of your comment, see above...

“Aww, who’s my good little man!”
“Swi! Swi!”
“That’s right!” I kneel down to let Junior push himself into my hand. “It’s you! You’re the one!” Swinub wiggles himself back and forth, an endless ball of nuzzling zoomy energy. Baby Pokémon have always...

He forgot the taste of Aspear Berries, which he had oh so loved to eat.
And the names of Eric’s parents, who they still went to visit every Sunday night.
The faces of those he knew in passing, common witnesses to Eric and...
I have a note in my ideas section that says “Wes out of retirement?” which should cover us on the edge route. But I’ll keep it in mind. Chobin might be a fun addition at some point.
All valid reasonings. Just about perfectly inline with what I was going for.
Not sure what response this post...
