    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    The Driftveil Drawbridge is not as long as the Skyarrow Bridge, but it still goes on a ways, crossing a wide expanse of water. As for the Driftveil City itself, it, like most of the towns in Unova, isn't big enough to justify its title of 'city,' but other than that, it give off a somewhat...

    Ranger Diaries - A Retelling of the Ranger Games

    I recently bought Shadows of Almia, and have been enjoying it quite a bit, which led me to check this story out. This is a pretty awesome story. The test to capture Monferno, and Keith's dream at the beginning of the latest installment are my favorite parts, thus far. A couple things I'd like...

    PokéMon is Not for Children

    This story is really good. The way you've imagined every aspect of the Pokemon world thus far is just incredible. Just one thing that I noticed: I just don't have a very good read on Ame's personality. Most of the time, she just strikes me as a tad robotic in her quotes, saying just the barest...

    A New Beginning

    I meant to comment on this sooner, but I'd just been at a loss on what to talk about. First of all, I think this is very entertaining and well-written, and I really liked the details at the beginning, as they gave us a firm grip on Shiro's character, family, life, and circumstances. Brian and...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    After heading back to the Pokemon Center and waiting about a half-hour for our Pokemon to heal, Cheren and I head to the northwest part of Nimbasa City, and arrive on Route 5, which is, thankfully, not a desert. In fact, it's just a road with forest on both sides, no different than Routes 2 and...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    A couple more days pass, and the whole time, my little heart-to-heart with N still feels like it's something that happened mere hours ago... but at the same time, a long time ago. Damn it... why did N have to tell me, of all people, about this... Burden me with that information? A couple...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    The next day, with renewed resolve to be friends with Marowak, thanks to Professor Juniper, my 'project' to promote fellowship among me and my Pokemon continues. In the late morning, I take them to the amusement park. Now it might sound strange to do this, but it's not really unusual, as there...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    I wander the desert that is Route 4 aimlessly. Luckily, the people at the Route 4-Nimbasa checkpoint were diligent in making sure the people who venture out are prepared for the harshness of the area. When I first went there, draped in a cheap brown poncho, with my Go-Goggles, goggles designed...

    Official Shiny Pokemon Thread

    I'd seen a few shinies. The first I'd, of course, was the red Gyarados from Silver/SoulSilver. Also on Silver, I say a Shniy Magikarp and Onix, but at the time, my Pokemon's level were too high to wear down the Magikarp (I didn't know it was possible to catch one outright with a strong enough...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    One week had passed since Bianca departed for Opelucid City. During that time, it's been training, training, and more training. After Professor Juniper left, my Pokemon had spent the rest of the day either sparring or battling other trainers' Pokemon, winning more battles than not. The next...

    Starters

    Blue: Bulbasaur (not too big into grass-type starters, unless they have a secondary type) Yellow: Pikachu (of course) Silver: Cyndaquil Sapphire: Torchic Leafgreen: Charmander Pearl: Piplup (was pretty good... until it evolved into Empoleon. The added steel-type hurt more than it helped...)...

    What's your favorite pokeball?

    Repeat Ball. Once you catch a Pokemon once, any subsequent catches of the same Pokemon, looking for one with an ideal Nature, is much easier.

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    (Continued from last post...) Iris gestures to Bianca, who, looking a bit nervous as she has spectators, takes her position at one side of the battlefield, “This is my good friend, Miss Bianca! She's my opponent today. This will be a two-badge Gym battle, three Pokemon used by each trainer. As...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    Even after the battle with Team Plasma, the night just went on and on. A bunch of crates, all filled with Pokeballs, had been arranged in front of the building, and Team Plasma left via the three helicopters Ghetsis arrived with. From there, the police, using handheld devices, determined which...

    Which gender do you choose

    I started a topic like this way back when on the old forums, but I figured I'd ask again: When you start a new game, which gender do you choose for your trainer? I know it's recommended you choose your own gender, but I'm sure at least a few of us hadn't really given in to that. Back then, I...

    Your favourite Pokemon

    Well, my preferences have changed recently, so here's how things now stand, going by type once again: Normal: Braviary Grass: Roserade Fire: Magmortar Water: Dewott Electric:Electivire (sorry, Jolteon) Rock: Kabutops Ground: Sandslash Bug: Scizor Psychic: Gardevoir Fighting: Gallade Flying...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    (continued from last post) The old guy in blue gloats, “It would appear reinforcements have arrived. You have fought most valiantly, but victory comes to the side of righteousness.” “This could be bad...” says Burgh. Suddenly, the copters stop midway on their approach toward the building...

    Reinterpretation of Pokemon White

    With the bus rocketing through the now-mostly empty streets, it takes three minutes, if not less, for Cheren and I to arrive at Castelia Gym. The Gym is, in spite of all the tall structures throughout the city, just a one-floor building, and its aesthetic has 'Burgh' written all over it...

    Experiences of a longtime Pokemon fan

    I'm an old school Pokemon fan, having gotten into it when I was in the 8th grade. It all started when a friend of mine received a tape which gave a preemptive look at Pokemon (it even started with an epic alternate version of the Pokemon Dance Mix, which I hadn't been able to find anywhere...
