Woah... okay, for starters, that "Versions" bit is an aspect of the detailed tagging system that is crucial to how the database archive works, it's quite ingenious in that it lessens the hassle of slogging through content which may not be relevant to one's interests. And, um, there is a single category for all Pokemon-related fanfiction: "Pocket Monsters (All Media Types)".I just noticed that Archive of Our Own includes "version" in the titles of main series Pokémon games after Gen 5, and it bothers me on an irrational level. And why do they list the Japanese and English names? Shouldn't it only show whatever language it's set to? The Pokémon Mystery Dungeon character tags don't even use the official romanisations. Pokémon is the only game-based franchise I've seen that does this. The only English-speaking Pokémon fans I've seen who use the Japanese names are people who talk about the anime on forums, and it's not like Digimon where people hate the English localisation. Has anyone ever read a Pokémon fanfic that consistently uses Japanese names? /rant
I bring this up because I wanted to see what roles people were giving Gen 8 Pokémon in fanfics, but AO3 is mainly about shipping humans. I'm still hoping that someone will make a Pokémon version of Fimfiction, and I don't think I'd have the devotion to run a website.
As for my fanfics, I'm slowly writing a PMD/Digimon oneshot using someone else's characters (I asked for permission), and have ideas for some multi-chapter fics.
I'm not sure what you mean by this part? How does one word influence the tagging system? I wasn't talking about intra-fandom tags in general.Woah... okay, for starters, that "Versions" bit is an aspect of the detailed tagging system that is crucial to how the database archive works, it's quite ingenious in that it lessens the hassle of slogging through content which may not be relevant to one's interests.

I'm afraid not.Could you fix Gardevoir too.
And that's your opinion. AO3 does really deserve a chance, the database's system of categorization isn't difficult to learn.I think I just find AO3 tags annoying in general because they get cluttered.
