Dae asks: Fan fiction

Dae was calmly sitting behind his desk on this sunny Spring day. What article shall I write next, he thought to himself. Oh, I know, and he opened WordPress and clicked on New Article. From there he wrote: Dae was  calmly sitting…

Let’s quit this recursion, shall we? I doubt my writing is even good enough to make something better than your run-of-the-mill fanfic, so I won’t even bother.

But back on topic: fan fiction. Some love it, some hate, some write themselves and others wish it to burn in hell. You have the story padding type, the type of questionable content and those that never should fall into a kid’s hands. But I really want your opinion on it. Do you write yourselves, and if so, would you mind to share it with us? And if you read, what are some of your favorites, and what are some examples that should be put on the wall-of-shame for setting the genre in a bad light? Keep examples PG-13, or else your post will be punitively deleted and I might temporarily ban if you if I’m in a bad mood.

If I can find the time next week I’ll write my entry in Meet the team, a new series where you can get to know every team member a bit more personal. In the meantime, be nice to each other in the comments, quit mentioning the device and quit asking if someone’s there. It will become obvious if someone’s there when they reply to you.

  1. Fan fics are like an almost fully loaded revolver; very occasionally you get lucky and find a good one but the next 5 are disasters waiting to happen

  2. You have met with a terrible fate, haven’t you?

    You shouldn’t have made an article on Fan Fiction. It is a disturbing world to visit.

  3. Fan fictions are sort of a meh thing to me.. And most of the fanfics I see are about ships and se..yeah. So, I tend to keep away from them haha

  4. Serialised fanfics can be really good…. i’ve read a few good ones. I tend to steer clear of the romance/shipping fanfics…they can be slightly awkward if not unbearable to read. As for writing my own i have never put pen to paper but i have at times found myself coming up with an anime/manga style version of my playthroughs of Pokemon games as im playing them.

    Fanfics are okay. I’ve never read any Pokémon fan fictions myself, but I’ve heard about them.
    When I was a lot younger (11/12), I saw these videos about plush-doll shows about the Mario series. At that age I found them to be quite amusing, so I ended up writing my own comic book and even tried to make a plush show myself. I wrote scripts, invented characters and I called it “The Plushroom Kingdom”. Eventually, I gave up on the idea because of the large amounts of money (£30+) needed to purchase the plush dolls. I still think about what it would’ve been like if I had continued with the project.

    Maybe one day I might go back to it, highly unlikely but it is still possible.

  6. So..about the gym leaders..
    I think that that the amount of pokemon should go like this..: 2 (lvl 10-15), 3 (lvl 20-25), 4 (lvl 30-35), 5 (lvl 40-45), 6 (lvl 50-55), 6 (lvl 60-65), 6 (lvl 70-75) , 6 (lvl 80-85) (the e4 could have all 90-95, and the champion lvl 95-100)

    And the order of leaders should go something like: Dragon, Fairy, Steel, Poison, Dark, Fire, Ghost, Water

  20. Fanfiction is a… weird subject.. Sometimes there can be good ones, but they are stuck between the bad ones and the really bad ones. I’ll be honest here, I’ve always wanted to write fanfiction, just not for the Pokemon franchise. 😛

    I got Pokemon X thanks to that promotion and TCMets 😀 I chose Froakie as my starter. But I want to use Lapras :/ Which do I choose?

  22. I think Fan Fiction is great, but the main problem is that people over sexualize it and the plot essentially becomes two characters sexing each other.

    Reply
  23. I don’t read fan fiction because I prefer to read about a character’s development from the original author and not someone else, i.e. I’d like the character’s development to be official.

    However, I like the idea of it though and I’m happy that it allows many fans to expand their creativity. Art is complicated, yet simple subject to behold and it’s always good to practice it and continue with it.

  25. I’ve come up with a new type of evolution for Gen VII!

    Phantom Evolution: When leveled up in the Distortion World (assuming Sinnoh’s confirmed in this Generation), the Pokémon, if applicable, will evolve and gain the Ghost Type.

    Applicable Pokémon: Pure Type Pokémon with a low BST.

    I know that Pokémon can still level up in the Distortion World by EXP from Cyrus and Giratina, but I’m trying to find a way around it.

    Reply
  26. Another new type of evolution I made up (this was long before Mega Evolution was revealed):

    Co-Evolution (or Mutation Evolution): This requires the use of two Pokémon. The host and the doner. They must also be counterparts.

    Let’s use Seviper and Zangoose as an example.

    To evolve Seviper via this method, one would take DNA from Zangoose and inject it into Seviper. Then, Seviper would Co-Evolve into a Poison/Normal type snake w/ some red scars, but still be a snake. The same goes for Zangoose, but it’s fur would become dark purple.

It has a 14% chance of being Shiny in international versions. In the Japanese version of Crystal, the Day-Care Man instead gives out an Egg Ticket that can be traded in at thePokémon Communication Center for the Odd Egg.

  42. Soo, what’s everyone’s opinion of the 3D models on showdown? I wanted to get someone’s opinion on them, since i cant check them out for myself. A decent chunk of people i’ve seen are in favor of bringing the 2D models back

    Reply
    • They look great, well the ones opposing you. The ones that are yours are terribly elongated which make the pixels show. The lag from time to time is UNBEARABLE. It’s like your computer is Froze(n) and there’s nothing you can do except lose or win because you or the opponent set the timer first. The lags are caused by the models and all of the battles going on. Lots of people have lost battles unfairly because of this lag including me. So honestly, I would like them to bring back the 2D sprites instead of having these problems.

      Reply
        • They look nice and all but they look weird with a 2D background. The 2D sprites looked pretty bad but they don’t cause lag so I prefer them. Is Showdown really supposed to be working on looks instead of working on performance?

          Reply
          • Looks like it, but Pokebattle outclasses PS in looks and also likely in community as well, so i dont see what they’re really trying to improve, as Pokebattle, from what ive seen, outclasees PO and PS in every way

          • Uhm…Role-playing, Adventure, Action…creative stuff? Pokemon, Anything and everything Nintendo, Valve games, LittleBigPlanet, the occasional shooter (Uncharted being one of them). That’s it. XD

          • I would recommend: Ni no Kuni i would say it’s RPG and Adventure. It is a Studio Ghibli (People who made Totoro) game for the Ps3. Action Wise. Devil May Cry, God of War and the Batman games are great.
            If you like Survival Horror, which you did not list.xD There is Silent Hill which is a town based on the psychological aspect of a deceased girl named Alessa. So every monster in the game represents something. Dead Space is good as well. Resident Evil (The First Four are good). 5 and 6 are alright. Action Orientated.

          • I have heard great things about Ni no Kuni, I am definitely interested in that. Also, Batman Arkham Asylum, City, and Origins.

          • There is a demo that you can try before buying the game. It’s around $20 now. The Arkham games are awesome if you’re a DC fan.

          • I am a fan of the Marvel and DC characters, although I am not very involved in the culture of the comics at all. The movies are amazing though.

          • Personal opinion, DC has better comics. I loved the Blackest Night comic arc which is basically DC Zombies + Green Lantern

          • Still haven’t played .-. I do realize that i mentioned more Console games.xD For the 3DS: Resident Evil Revelations was awesome and creepy, Bravely Default, Fire Emblem Awakening, and the first Adventure Time game were good.

Loosers get banned and the champion is still allowed to come on PJN.
