  • Yeah, if you want, that's not a big deal.

    Anyway, I just came back online to tell you that I was logging off to get some work done. Speak soon, bro.
    Yeah, pretty much.

    And whoever started to do one about Wally didn't get very far.

    It wouldn't surprise me at all if it was Jabber, that guy has about 1 million fics and updates like one fic every week, including starting a new one every other fic, meaning that every fic of his is eternally around chapter 3 or 4 at the latest with the exception of Gary Ketchum.


    ...Basically I think you'd be clear for landing on that front.
    Becoming the Champion ain't all that. In fact, by the time Blue beat Koga, I was totally bored of the idea of a journey fic. I'll tell you now - Lance doesn't collect a single Badge in Dragon Days.

    I just think if you do Brendan it won't be a case of having less room for story but having virtually no room for story. You could even do Wally. If I was going to do a RSE fic, it'd be about Wally, he's easily the most interesting character in that whole generation.
    I just think every single chapter sticking exactly to game text will just be stressful and boring. It wouldn't make for that interesting a fic either I don't think.

    In the Rivalverse, the best characters to follow are the ones who are on screen SOME of the time.
    Uh... I think it might be best for you to maybe do Brendan as the rival in RSE instead, I think it'd be too hard to write a fic about a protagonist following my rules for events.
    Ok, yeah, but I thought seeing as the games do Brendan's story exactly, writing that might be a bit boring for you.

    Remember - what happens in the games happens EXACTLY except that the protagonists can say anything additional since they are not actually silent. Except Red in GSCHGSS because he's not a protagonist there - he's actually silent.
    I suppose Groudon and Kyogre make sense given that it's the plotline of RSE.

    I just had a thought though, so far in the Rivalverse fics, and I plan to continue this in Dragon Days, I always stick religously to game text.

    Are you going to be able to do this if you tell the story of a protagonist?
    If you want your own so badly, just make it yourself.

    ...I didn't want mine, they made it on their own.
    Oh, I just don't want the Rivalverse to be one of those 'verses where loads and loads of super-crazy shit happens. I don't like legendaries getting involved at every turn and I don't like global disasters that threaten to kill hundreds etc.

    Oh, and Pokemon definitely don't say their own name.
    Of course. Brendan was a bit of a dick, I'll enjoy reading about his being outshone by May (I'm assuming he's the Rival, and if not you can still portray him as a dick, like my Johto Hoenn Trainer Brendan =P)
