Trivia / Infinity Train: Voyage of Wisteria

• Creator Backlash:
  • Cross has made it known at a few points after the completion of the story to finding the Ashachu plotline to be unappealing and pointless.
  • A very minor example, but Crossoverpairinglover has expressed regret that they were the one to hit upon a plotline concerning Delia Ketchum: That Delia was largely as determined not to forgive Chloe and Parker as she was due to their initial attitudes reminding her too much of the way a lot of her neighbors resented her son out of jealousy. As Cross later stated, Delia didn't actually need a "real reason" to hate the Cerise children, given that one had used her only son as a puppet and left him with night terrors, and the other had unknowingly encouraged him to do so. Cross later felt that adding an additional reason just came across as Talia avoiding responsibility on behalf of her children.
• Creator Breakdown: By the author's admission in a comment for "The Pirate Car", she's gotten exhausted trying to fix a lot of the more controversial and badly received parts from Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail.
• Real Life Writes the Plot: Parker was a big player in Blossoming Trail, but the way his character was written and handled left a very bad taste on most readers' mouths. Presumably to avoid further controversy, he's heavily Demoted to Extra here, only having a brief scene at the beginning and then being relegated to mentions afterwards.
• Writer Revolt: After Shady wrote a ending for Parker, Visitors of Achilles, Green quickly declared it non-canon and wrote her own in the form of Fury of Thistle. This in turn was also declared non-canon by Cross, who said that Visitors was the canon ending for Parker. This opinion was shared by the writers and readers, eventually leading to Thistle being deleted and Achilles being the true ending once more.
• Word of Saint Paul: Like in the previous story, Cross occasionally offers his own expansion on things as a co-writer.
  • He stated that had Ash and Raihan battled one on one, Raihan would have won. Battling with a full team is what gave Ash a chance to win, while Duraladon could defeat any of Ash's current Pokemon one on one with an admitted caveat of uncertainty in regards to Z-moves (which weren't in the chapter due to the scene being meant to introduce Chloe to Dynamax).
  • He identified the canon and origin point of the various Transformers mentioned in the Giant Farmstead Car.
  • Goh's Arctozolt still exists and was not replaced by the Dracozolt Serena meets, they just pulled up two different fossil parts with Ash's Dracovish parts instead of Goh's pieces. Arctozolt would appear in the final chapters.
  • Tiffany Rose's backstory is given more details that were originally in the story but cut for time.
