* Mr.Bob - Seconded. The characters are all distinct and memorable, while they may come off as somewhat generic or cliché, the characters are all wonderfully written that it doesn't matter. The main cast is full of wonderfully diverse personalities that have practically no place working together yet manage to pull through time and time again, taking itself just the right amount of serious to tell a compelling story without falling into the trap that many other fanfics do and becoming overly dark. A fun, yet serious romp that never loses that spark of joy all throughout.

* Comments: This is by far one my favorite PMD fanfics that I have ever read. The initial premise of Shiny Pokemon being discriminated against was what initially drew me in, not to mention the pacing which feels really good. Ziggy is a great character, he starts out with a suite of personality traits you would expect a street urchin living on his own for years who is hated for something he can't control would have; paranoia, pessimism, and generally being downright miserable. This is also why the real joy of reading this fanfic was seeing the CharacterDevelopment Ziggy has throughout the events of the story, seeing him gradually get better is a real treat and it makes the setbacks he has along the way all the more frustrating. This is supported even more by the relationship Ziggy and Sparks develop as the story progresses. And that's all without mentioning [[spoiler:one of the best homosexual romance subplots I've ever seen in a fanfiction between two of the side characters]], [[spoiler:and the sudden appearance of the Ultra Beasts.]] Overall, I highly recommend you check this fanfic out if you're looking for something a little different from the "human turned pokemon that finds a partner and saves the world" plot that the series is known for. I loved it from beginning to end, and hope to see more PMD stories from this author.

* Comments: A webcomic that blends both humor and genuine, heartfelt emotion in the vein of the best abridged series out there, Abridgestery Dungeon is a wild retelling of the first Pok&eactute;mon Mystery Dungeon's story that manages to squeeze character into even the briefest of character appearances. Additionally, the author includes occasional audio clips to give the characters a voice, which are quite well done indeed.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into shipping or [[BetterThanCanon non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

* Synopsis: It's an open secret that whenever there's some universal threat to the Pokémon world, a bunch of cosmic forces will summon a human or two to fix things up. But no one's perfect, and someone along the way might have overestimated the severity of the upcoming disaster by a factor of 10 or so.

* The story takes what the game showed and expanded it, taking its time to explore the inner thoughts of Mew, how they feel, and really helps make the characters feel real in a way the games weren't quite able to express.

* Comments: May not be ''totally'' canon, but these are definitely worth a read for the author's interesting theories on [=PMD2=]'s backstory, and the ''sheer amount'' of ChekhovsGun and {{Foreshadowing}}. The characters are quite well-done too, with the canon cast being quite in-character and some very unique [=OCs=]. Both are currently on-going.
