DISCUSSION: Writing a pair of stories like the games

[LightningTopaz]

So I've had an idea for a Poke-Italy brewing in my head for some time now, and I got the idea to combine both the remixed animeverse and the theaterverse versions of the region into a pair of stories akin to the games--tentatively named Pokemon Earth (the remixed animeverse story) and Pokemon Sky (the more imaginative theaterverse story.)

My question is--how could you juggle both stories without burning out?

Simple: you don’t.

In all seriousness, I’d imagine that doing even one story would probably be quite the stressful affair, let alone two. That is, unless it’s something more like say, the Victini movies, where the plot is basically the same with the differences boiling down to superficialities or Easter eggs more than anything else. Or unless, perhaps, the story is relatively short like, say, a novelization of said movies would be. But two entire TV-length quests at once is not a project that I would envy doing, to put it lightly; I’d personally rather put that energy towards planning a separate project or something. I don’t want to discourage you, but I think this is the most honest answer that I can give you on this one.

Whatever you ultimately decide to do, good luck!

That is a fair point--I still have a lot of planning to do for this idea, so of the two, I would probably focus on Sky first, and then do Earth--juggling two stories at once would probably be headache inducing.

well, honestly, most pokemon game pairs are almost the same, so maybe you just go over it and change a few words, add a new scene?
