"I curse my stars in bitter grief and woe, That made my love so high and me so low."
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Path of Valor is a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Fan Fic written by Ambyssin
, set in an original setting that places a heavy focus on ideas and Pokémon from Generation VIII games. Much like its author's prior work it updates almost continuously on a bi-weekly basis since its launch on February 22nd, 2020, just prior to the release of Pokémon Sword and Shield's DLC expansions.
Tropes:
- Awful Truth: Hoo boy, where do we even start with this one?
- Polaris is powering the Kingdom of Radiance with power drawn from Eternatus
- Polaris is also brainwashing Radiance's citizenry with hypnotic music on the side
- The entire founding mythologies of both the Kingdom of Radiance and the Aeon Kingdom are premised on lies
- The Aeons' beloved creator god was a genocidal Knight Templar who laid waste to entire worlds in fits of pique
- Expy:
- A few plot beats and characters draw heavy inspiration from other media, such as the courtroom arc that draws inspiration from the then-unlocalized The Great Ace Attorney.
- There is an in-setting version of The Weakest Link
- Fantastic Racism: A recurring facet of life in the Kingdom of Radiance directed at residents of the Aeon Kingdom and Dragon-types in general.
- Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Much of Radiance is one to Britain and various locations in continental Europe. Particularly noticeable with Venish.
- The Maker: Bahamut is seen as one to Etherium among the Aeons and given according respect as a deity
