1 | * DevelopmentGag: |
2 | ** One is done to the [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Johto games]], as Misty was originally intended to be an Elite Four member in them, while she does successfully become one here. |
3 | ** There were ideas for Latias to join Ash's group. However they were vetoed because the staff didn't want Ash to own a Legendary because Ash's other Pokémon would be OvershadowedByAwesome, nor did they want [[NonSerialMovie the movies to be canon to the anime proper]]. [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter This didn't sit well with fans]], who rejoiced when Ash did catch Latias in the fic. |
4 | * HeAlsoDid: Saphroneth also writes for ''FanFic/TheInfiniteLoops''. |
5 | * InMemoriam: Chapter 256 has a Johto contest rival for May that is a tribute to the author's grandmother, who had passed away only recently. |
6 | * MilestoneCelebration: |
7 | ** Chapter 100 contained the entirety of the 5th movie adaptation, when major events are normally split into multiple chapters. |
8 | ** Chapter 150 features purely secondary characters and none of the main characters, dubbed as "Ashes Nowhere to be Seen" |
9 | ** Chapter 151 has an appearance by Mew, [[DontExplainTheJoke which is the 151st Pokémon in the Pokédex]]. |
10 | ** Chapter 200 is focused on various legendaries, including the early appearance of [[spoiler:Manaphy]]. |
11 | ** Chapter 250 contained the entirety of the 10th movie adaptation, much like Chapter 100 with the 5th movie. |
12 | ** Chapter 300 has Ash's battle with Volkner, an Electric-type gym leader and the final Sinnoh gym. |
13 | * OfficialFanSubmittedContent: There have been some suggestions from his Spacebattles readers that made it into the story. One example is Ash's Honedge. It had been considered a new OC Pokémon to add to the cast, but it was a reader that suggested it would come from a ceremonial sword Ash had received prior, considering the physics-defying stunts Ash pulled off with it. |
14 | * SeriesHiatus: The story has been put on hold in part due to the author working on ''Fanfic/AccidentalApotheosis''. Another reason for the hiatus is general burnout and lack of motivation, especially since Saph continues to have new ideas for fics and can't focus on everything at once. |
15 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: There are a lot of major and minor examples of plans changing either before or during the writing of a chapter, often due to either the situation working better in a different way, or fan-input on opinions. Examples include, but are not limited to the following: |
16 | ** Team Flare was planned to be connected to Cyrus' plot. Dropped after Team Flare made an appearance in the anime. |
17 | ** Zinnia was considered to make an appearance in the Destiny Deoxys adaptation, as foreshadowing the Delta Episode. |
18 | ** An early version of the N buying Pokéballs scene had him purchasing a Master Ball, but readers on the Spacebattles forum objected to it, stating that N shouldn't have gotten a Master Ball from a normal shop, even if he did have the money to afford one. |
19 | ** Zoey wasn't going to be one of the "remindable", due to the author's lack of knowledge regarding the character. He quickly pulled a AuthorsSavingThrow after being told by the readers on the Website/SpaceBattlesDotCom forums how a major part Zoey was in Dawn's character development. |
20 | ** The human that became Ash's Honedge was originally named Kelly Burns, but Kelly was considered a bit to Anachronistic a name for a female knight that lived centuries ago. The reason Kelly was originally picked that it would be a rather ordinary name for a legendary weapon. |
