Context Fanfic / PokedexOneShots

Go To

1Started July 2008, [=Pokedex=] One-Shots is a [=fanfiction=] project by Ysavvryl to write about every single Pokémon in one short story anthology. The stories, which range from drabbles to 10 pagers, start with the flavor text of the games’ Pokedex entries and build from there. Everything else about the stories, from genre to style, will change greatly from story to story. At 200+ entries and 400+ Pokémon, there is a lot to choose from.

7!! The anthology provides examples of:
8%%* AnAesop: Happens quite a bit.
9%%* ADayInTheLimelight: For every single Pokemon out there
10%%* {{Crossover}}: Some stories do this. The Bisharp, Samurott, Gothitelle, and Audino story was one with ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''.
11%%* NonLinearSequel: Most of the stories are unconnected, so reading through the whole anthology feels like this.
12* PromptFic: With the Pokedex entries acting as the prompts. Also, most of the prompts are done by requests from reviewers.
13* SpaceWhaleAesop: This pops up occasionally, like ‘Cheating on your girlfriend will cause an enraged pseudo-dragon to demolish your house’.
14%%* SpecialGuest Both the odd guest writer and occasional in-fic characters for a minor crossover.

17!! Individual stories provide examples of:
18%%* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Zigzagoon in the Garbodor/Zigzagoon
19%%* BrickJoke: A trainer who has a pair of Gyrados... One shiny, and is named Lisa. See Magikarp Power.
20* DisproportionateRetribution: Mewtwo decides to ruin a fair because the noise and lights are keeping him from going to sleep. Never mind if people die because of this.
21%%* FerrisWheelOfDoom: Mewtwo attempts to do this, but Mew explains why it won't work.
22* FunWithAcronyms: A Persian named Lord Fausto Augusto Terzetto Sagittarius Ontario the Third, provided you leave off ‘the third’, leaving "FATSO".
23%%* MagikarpPower: A literal example, and in one of the first ones, as well. A girl named Lisa keeps a yellow Magikarp as a pet [[spoiler: which evolves into Gyrados near the beginning. Of course, considering nobody knows that Magikarp evolve into Gyrados...]]
24%%* MindRape: Hypno, in the 2011 Halloween special.
25%%* SweetTooth: Mew eats a stick of cotton candy that's as big as herself. This doesn't end well.
26%%** Then he gets nicknamed Sissy Cat
27%%* ZombieApocalypse: In the Chinchou/Lantern one shot.
