Pokémon General Thread

I think a better framing device would be telling someone else (Picknicker Cindy perhaps) what he went through on his Gym hopping spree. This would allow Cindy to interrupt and go WTF at certain things.

that'd be better, but it doesn't give the premise that Janine is freaking following him everywhere. Unless we're ditching that idea.

But that would interrupt the narrative. I don't mean to push, but I think it is best if we have it be Barry reading his journal, his one companion, to himself whenever Janine isn't looking, reviewing his journey and how he got here.

Some of the journal entries could mention that he feels like he's being watched, or that some leaves rustled, but it was probably just a Pokemon, or he saw a brief flash of purple.

The narrative could be interrupted on purpose for the sake of comedy. And we could have special chapters told from Janine's journal, detailing how she's stalking Barry.

That gives too much insight into Janine's twisted mind, though. Which makes her less unpredictable.

I could try to write Chapter 1 right now, by the way. I just had an idea for his visit to Brock.

Jane: I heard this and thought of you:

Wait wait, shouldn't chapter one be some backstory about Barry? Maybe address his time at the Gym as a kid and leading up to where he is now? Judging by his quotes in G/S/C/HG/SS, he liked cross-dressing back then.

Honestly, giving an insight at just how Yandere Janine is would actually be hilarious/horrifying.

Janine forced him to say those things.

I think we're making him a lot less happy to crossdress here. Stepford Smiler, perhaps? After all, Janine doesn't want anyone knowing how she treats the junior trainers, and could probably threaten them into being quiet...

Or what he said.

I'm gonna write the Brock chapter right now. Tell me what you think when it's done.

Yandere Janine. :3

Also, I don't think we're going to make a chapter for each Gym Leader, Anom. Probably just one long chapter for each region. But I look forward to seeing what you have. :D

May I please ask that you take this topic somewhere else? I don't want this derail to go any further and I have no interest in this story at all. I would rather we keep this topic about Pokemon than about Camper Barry's misadventures.

Alrighty then, now that I've transfered my next team to Platinum, my next file can commence. Currently my team is lead by Reno the lvl 29 Bagon, co captained by Aldo the lvl 7 Totodile, and also contains Altair the lvl 32 Ponyta, Aizen the lvl 5 Eevee, Yukio the lvl 1 Togepi, and Kusanagi the lvl 29 Scyther. I plan on boxing Kusanagi, Altair and Reno until the rest of my team reaches their level.

It's only lasted two pages and I highly doubt it would last more than one day as a topic. But in any case, I really don't care for it.

Torterra

Crunch/Wood Hammer/Earthquake/Rock Slide

Impish

252 Atk/ 144 Def/ 144 HP

Good or no?

@Janine/Barry Fic:If you do listen to Jane, I think it might go in New Media. I don't really know where else it could go.

I forgot we had that.

Writer's Block.

@Loid: Seems pretty good. He'll have nice type coverage, and his nature will let him wall physical attackers. Watch out Ice type moves of course, and

You might consider swapping out Rock Slide for Stone Edge.

I have it finished. Should we have a topic in Writer's Block?

I just got out of the National Park in Soul Silver, where do I go next?

Ecruteak I think.

Provided you have the Wailmer Pail, head right and towards the weird jiggling tree. Talk to it, then go up after the event.

@Loid: Go with Neo's advice. Since Torterra doesn't get STAB for Rock moves, the extra power in Stone Edge will help. Also, since Torterra is so slow, he won't be able to make use of Rock Slide's Flinchax side effect and the boosted crit rate of Stone Edge will give a chance for some heavy damage.
