* Recommended by @/{{raptyr}}
* Status: In Progress
* Pairings: None so far, though hints of White/N
* Synopsis: White understands Pokemon, but an incident left her with a crippling fear of them. Now she's on a journey with her brother Black to overcome it. But how can she while clashing with Team Plasma and the odd N?
* Comments: An interesting take on Pokemon Black and White. Great character interaction, mainly an upbeat story, but at times serious and sad. White does seem to get over her fear of pokemon a bit quickly,[[spoiler:aside from ghost types, who still give her plenty of trouble]], but it's a minor nitpick. The characters are kept in-character, and it does a good job of being a good story without trying too hard to be so. YMMV on a few points, but definitely worth a read.

* ''Comments'': Similar to ''Xanthic Growlithe Contract'', except less mind-screwy and far more likely to be finished. Aside from ''Pokemon Master'' (see below) and ''Writing of Wrongs'' (see: ''Final Fantasy VII'') it is probably the best piece of fanfiction I have ever read. You should read it too.

* ''Additional Info'': [[FanFic/CloudedSky Has its own page]]

* ''Synopsis'': A 12 year old child from the real world gets thrown into a conflict with a bunch of "Armageddic morons", discovers an interesting set of problems in the war, and becomes a self described terrorist. He takes about a thousand risks, develops a sadistic attitude, and befriends a psychotic Lucario
* ''Comments'': An interesting deconstruction of KidHero. Gets pretty dark.

* Status: Complete.
* ''Synopsis'': An extremely GenreSavvy pokemon trainer teams up with a [[MarySue characture named Mary Sue]], and fight Team Aqua and Team Magma, all while avoiding Brenden and Anti-Sue and trying to stop the evil in Hoenn!
* ''Comments'': A crack at bad [=RPGs=] (Specifically stated in the final chapter), it has EVERYTHING. [[GodModders God mod as the main villain]], [[MarySue a Mary Sue with a typical Sue team]] (Raichu, Pikachu, Espeon, [[OlympusMons Articuno, and Suicune]]. Also, the main hero is a well designed GenreSavvy kid, made to represent the old [=RPGer=] who knows how to make a charact. And did I mention the humor? Some of the off the wall humor they throw at you will leave you laughing for a while afterwards. A great read if you've been going through bad times, or reading sad fanfics, as it ALWAYS will lighten your day.

* ''Status'': Dead
* ''Synopsis'': This is the story of Gary (no not that one), a trainer from Pallet Town. His journey takes place many years after that of Red. Along the way he goes through similar challenges as the old champion did.
* ''Comments'': I haven't read this in a few years, but I plan on it again soon. This is a great version of the standard OC Trainer fic. The author is only going off of Gen 1. Not the anime, Special, or anything after Kanto. what he tries is to take the world of that one game, and make it make more sense. A great fic, probably my favorite Pokemon fic.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7591862/1/Pokemon_Crimson Pokémon: Crimson]]'' by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/3451182/ABBryant ABBryant]]
* Recommended by: lindabhair
* Status: ongoing
* ''Synopsis'': from ffn: "In a world where Truth and Ideals must eventually yield to Justice, four young trainers start on their adventure." It's a retelling of Black and White with both Hilbert and Hilda and has a point of view that rotates between them, Bianca and Cheren.
* ''Comments'': I started reading this as a short thing to pass the time since it was pretty short. Now I'm checking every day to see if it has updated. It was just okay for a while but then it really got going when Cheren [[spoiler: died]] and Bianca [[spoiler: decided to join Team Plasma]].
* ''Tags'': [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]], AlternateCharacterInterpretation

** @/{{Haya}}: I recommend this fanfic for many of the reasons stated before. Unlike my fellow tropers, I actually recommend it for the incredible closure it gives. [[spoiler: The ending can be considered incredibly dark and it shares some points with BraveNewWorld and NineteenEightyFour regarding the relationship between Pokemon trainers and their Pokemon.]]

* ''Synopsis:'' A world where a constant struggle between [[BigBad Zerstorung]] and just about everyone else forms the basis of everyday life. It takes place in the TeamFortress2 universe several years after RED and BLU ceased fighting, the mercenaries playing a somewhat important part in the story.

* ''Synopsis'': A young trainer and his shiny Eevee travel throughout the lands of Johto, discovering the origins of their apparent history together, despite the trainer's resistance to his so-called "destiny". A [[AffectionateParody parody]] of how ''[[{{Main/Ptitlei015gc004kw4}} Pokémon]]'' [[FanFic fanfics]] are generally written in its fandom.

* ''Comments:'' Sequel to the fic above. Exploring the psyche of a near-suicidal Charmeleon and how it gains new life when it evolves is magnificent [[spoiler:- and the TwistEnding ''will' make you cry.]]

* Status: Ongoing.

* ''Comments'' :As the author states in her summary, memory is quite a funny thing. Rather dangerous, too as it sets up what might be one of the best novelizations of Pokemon Black and White out there. The fic is mostly adventure, with a dash of mystery, that will captivate just about anyone under its spell. The protagonists, Bree White (based on Hilda from the game), Bianca Noir, and Cheren Shiro, are brilliantly fleshed out, their characterizations being one of the story’s highest points of praise. Each character goes through extremely noticeable character development, along with N, who stays true to his nature in the game, and whose character is studied in depth throughout the fic. The grammar is impeccable, and the storyline branches out from the story told in the actual game, allowing for various theories and WMGs to be analyzed and tested. Romance is included, but isn’t the focus of the story; it’s simply the icing on the cake that is this fantastic gem in a sea of fan fiction. Overall, highly recommendable.

* ''Comments'': A dark and plot-focused story with an original and diverse cast of well written original characters and a lot of humour throughout. Written from the first person perspective of the main characters, the narrative and description are a joy to read.

* ''Synopsis'': ''Pokemon Master'' is a brilliant translation of the ''Pokemon'' television show from an episodic, monster-of-the-week kid's show to a postapocalyptic shonen fight.
* ''Comments'': The writing isn't always greatest- and these 'characters' often [[OutOfCharacter don't always seem much like their animated 'counterpart']] at all, but the story makes up for it with great pacing, rather [[BloodierAndGorier gory]] battle scenes and a [[LoadsAndLoadsOfChaecharacters role]] for practically ''every'' character on the show and in games.

** Added marks for successfully predicting the ''Dark'' type (In this case, ''Shadow'' type Pokemon) ''before'' they were introduced. Shame about Light Pokemon though- FusionDance with Pokemon is referenced in ''Pokemon Reburst''

** @/wescotta: Then again, the characters of the ''Pokemon'' anime were sort of shallow and cliched in the first place, so no loss. It's still really fun to read, especially if you've seen some of the show and can catch the references.

* @/SabrinaDiamond: I know this may sound rather ''over-rated'' but, Bishounen Ash + DarkAndTroubledPast + OlympusMons = Awesome

** [[Tropers/M4dh4tter This troper]] would like to remove this fic from the page, simply because it was so awful. The human villains were pathetic and unoriginal, the fight scenes focused more on the horror of battles, rather than the actual battles, and Eon was the least likeable, respectable or tolerable OC I have ever read about.
