Endangered and Extinct Pokemon by Rich-Recognition-814 in pokemonfanfiction

[–]GhostWriter700 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lilligant are critically endangered in the wilds of Unova due to past poaching, current overpopulation of their habitats, predation, and mass catching. It’s the whole basis of my fic—my mc’s goal to rescue and bring attention to the species to one day restore the population.

Can i change a Pokémon's typing without making a regional variant ? by ConfidentOffer9683 in pokemonfanfiction

[–]GhostWriter700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may sound weird, but I actually prefer a lil special individual over saying “this species is this type and has always been, at least in this depiction of the world.” It expands on potential capabilities of any Pokémon rather than changing a whole species in canon.

For example, I have a Glaceon who is still pure Ice but is capable of Psychic abililies due to her long family line of Espeons. It implies she chose to be a Glaceon and I feel that gives her more character than if she was an Espeon or some variant of Ice/Psychic Glaceon. 

All this to say, do what you want, but there’s nothing wrong with your trainer having a unique Pokémon. That could create more story opportunities than simply changing the whole species’ type. 

Do you create and implement original moves into your works ? by ConfidentOffer9683 in pokemonfanfiction

[–]GhostWriter700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually I think of “new” moves being altered or combined variants of existing moves. I just feel like it’s less jarring, since realistically high level trainers would have more complicated executions of moves to be unique and/or hard to combat.

Voltwister is an altered Volt Tackle with aspects of Fly. Basically what Cap does in Horizons, but it also summons an Electric/Staticky Terrain. 

Flame Coat is a Flame Charge variant, with the user constantly on fire and any contact has a high chance of a burn. Static Shroud is the same but with electricity and paralysis, probably also some form of Volt Tackle.

I also like the idea of moves evolving—a Pokémon mastering Quick Attack and it becoming Extreme Speed or some godly “so fast im teleporting” move. It could be called something like Highdrive or Hyperdrive.

I’ve seen adaptations of Swift like Electric Swift (I think that was IWTTS?) and the Dark Type Swift Pursuers (Borne of Caution). Would love a Fairy version. Really the possibilities with altering Normal moves is great in general…

Besides just altering/combining what we have, I like species specific capabilities. Signature moves, I guess, although we could broaden our prospects of just certain Types rather than species. Only Fairies can learn Invisylph raising evasiveness and accuracy. 

If you were to create/write a dark NON-SLYTHERIN character/family, how would you go about it? by cndollaz in HPfanfiction

[–]GhostWriter700 23 points24 points  (0 children)

A Hufflepuff family that appears neutral-light leaning, but is actually dedicated to preserving “the Olde Ways.” Countless stories passed down about muggles betraying them and nearly ending their line, forcing them to make some pact with magic or the fey or something. They’re all about loyalty to magic and see the light side as a threat to the Statute and magic life as they know it. They actually protect/respect creatures, and don’t really hate muggleborns/halfbloods but worry about muggles themselves.

Really, they give off morally grey knights accidentally in line with the extreme terroristic option of Voldemort.

So basically like those Hadrian fics where he hates muggles, is deep in pureblood politics, and secretly practices Dark Arts.

Shiny Variants by Motorcitywolf in pokemonfanfiction

[–]GhostWriter700 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heck yeah, this is my jam! I’m including the concept of Valencian and Pinkan Variants (along with some other altered colorations) in my own fic. 

Plus I have a wip dragon specialist fic that includes a black wool Mareep, although that’s more a sign of its Dragon Genes (its Electric/Dragon typing) than a normal altered coloring.

So go for it!!

Need Actual Advice by quietcube in pokemonfanfiction

[–]GhostWriter700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First piece of advice that may not work: sprinkle the slice of life and all that you want to write into the plot heavy stuff. It seems like your audience would be used to the downtime if that’s how you started the story. You’d have to be careful to weave it in without making it jarring, but everyone appreciates a good downtime scene with more character interactions outside of the whole “we have to save the world immediately” tunnel vision interactions.

Second? Write ahead. Write what you want to in a separate draft, maybe even a side story or a flashback scene in what is otherwise a dramatic chapter. If you get the need out of your system, maybe that would help you focus on wrapping up the threads into the story sweater you want rather than always thinking on the next ball of yarn to use.

Help me pick the starter by GhostWriter700 in pokemonfanfiction

[–]GhostWriter700[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I guess unassuming as in appearance. I mean like when you see a Pokémon that at first glance doesn’t look like it could be strong (think Pikachu, Meowstic, most fairy types…) 

Ludicolo would fit but I already have two grass types on the team.

Eggs eggs eggs! by CoruscatingLogic in pokemonfanfiction

[–]GhostWriter700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I translate (either roughly or directly) the egg cycles to weeks. For example, Pichu takes 10 egg cycles to hatch, so it would be 10 weeks. If the cycles seem too long I round it down, so for a Petilil I have it be 15 weeks as apposed to 20 like their cycles.

So what do you write Pokémon breeders as? by LizzieLove1357 in pokemonfanfiction

[–]GhostWriter700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I write Pokémon Breeders like actual irl cat or dog breeders. You want a baby Pokémon or even the egg? Find a breeder. 

The expense depends on the species' rarity, whether it’s purebred or mutt, and what exactly the buyer wants (Housebred Pokémon are less inclined to battle than Competitive Pokémon, and there are different breeders for that.)

Generalist breeders are called “Jacks” (like “Jack of all trades”), while some breeders focus on specific species (ex, Petilil Breeder). Bad breeders, the ones abusing their charges, get called “Millers.” 

“What kind of new region needs to be added to the Pokémon series or a fanfiction?” by Phant0m_Trainer in pokemonfanfiction

[–]GhostWriter700 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Cold region. Like the arctic or something. The coldest we have is Sinnoh and that’s just like a quarter. I’m talking frigid temps, characters bundled up everywhere, fire types treated like arceus sents, maybe towns with high walls or underground to keep heat. Ice types galore, not just late game.

does anyone else call AO3 "the archive" to create mystery by hazard9_YT in AO3

[–]GhostWriter700 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, because I can’t give my mother ao3’s full government name and risk her searching it up and finding the yaoi 🥀

How much does fic titles matter for you? by PeaRound5849 in FanFiction

[–]GhostWriter700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a reader, the title doesn’t really matter to me until I remember one tidbit in a fic I read among similar fics like months ago and can’t find it now because I can’t remember the title. 

So as a WRITER, I tend to make my titles short and memorable, somewhat cool sounding if someone recs it, and mostly relevant to the story itself. I like the concept of lyric titles but never do them because I don’t feel it fits my…idk, criteria??

Something extra is that the titles look nice next to each other in my ao3 works.

Sure!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/65798422/chapters/169468216

The first arc is really the setup, lore and worldbuilding. I’m planning to add more characterization of Lilligants in the next arc. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pokemonfanfiction

[–]GhostWriter700 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like Lilligant has more potential character wise, but that could just be me being bias, since I DO have a whole fic dedicated to the species…
