I realised that those two ideas contradicted each other. I'll definitely include the point about personality changes that someone brought up, though.

Anyway, the Cat News is this: my players cancelled again and we're all busy for NaNoWriMo so the RPG is postponed until December. Goddamnit. Also I failed my driving test and the next available slot is in January. And I might be coming down with a cold. Ugh.
It was more asking for ideas than straight asking for help.You don't need to explain it, this is pokémon. You can use his canon backstory. You can say "some pokémon just do that."
This sort of thing only matters, and becomes tricky, if you're holding yourself to a much higher standard of realism/plausibility than the franchise as it already exists. If you were doing such a thing, it would surely be the focus of your project, due to the sheer amount of work it would take.
I recommend that you learn to stop sweating the details, man.
I think my story is being hit on fanfiction by sockpuppet accounts claiming to be part of a forum called 'Critics United'. They're all signed the same way, down to saying I should check the forum for 'informations' and they signed with 'Critics United member.', including the period! All the messages are exactly the same save for the paragraph they say is a problem--and they aren't. Smells fishy, doesn't it?
Good fun. My playgroup was garbage and I've got approx 0% chance of doing any more in the next decade, but it was nice while it lasted. My group went for 'elite' grenadiers, I believe and then promptly began to roleplay complete morons.
Sometimes, when I'm stuck on ideas for a story, I feel like pulling out all the stops and write a story full of things I like, worrying about themes later. For example, I looked at my Skitty avatar and wondered if I should write about a Skitty. Usually, this never goes anywhere.
Also, I'm trying to upload an avatar that's SMALLER (in terms of file size) than my current one, but it won't work. Is it a problem with my internet connection?
Hey there, I had a question. Is it okay to make the protagonist of your story slightly dislikable?
Actually, the protagonist Purple of my story comes across as likable in the first chapter (at least I hope so) but later on it's going to be revealed that she used to have personality traits similar to the archetype 'arrogant rival'. Although now she has matured. But those traits do surface from time to time.
I was wondering whether people would be okay with that?
all protagonists should have flaws and not being 100% agreeable allows for depth in a character. however, it's important to not present the dislikable moments as being completely okay for the character to do within the story, or it'll get that scent of "my protagonist can do no wrong". having a character regret acts later on or at least be called out on them by another character (with this character not being presented as being wrong for criticizing the lead) helps with keeping the trait from becoming too unlikable.
It was more asking for ideas than straight asking for help.
I have settled on an idea: It's normal for a Pokemon to be able to talk, it's just super rare to encounter one. Like to the point that it's almost unheard of. I will occasionally bring in Pokemon that can talk. It's not going to be a common thing.
Asking for ideas isn't really distinct from asking for help. What I was actually saying to you, though, was that this isn't a problem in the first place since it doesn't need handling any differently to the anime. Do you follow my reasoning?
Also, if it's super rare, it's not normal. Rare and normal are antithetical. Not saying that this is a bad plan, just pointing out a discrepancy.
For someone who still hasn't got around to playing Gen 7, what would you folks recommend? Should I skip straight to Ultra Sun, or play the original version first?
