Best trainer harem fics? Preferably self-insert/isekai, but for the most part anything is fine.

>>58954734
This question and image combo made me imagine some kind of post-apoc scenario where Gym Leaders/E4 are trying to collect women for their village harems, but they're all being outpaced at every turn by Erika who's become an unrestrained yuri goddess after the fall of society.

>How do you write a good fight scene?
For fantasy and historical and such it helps to at least have a grasp of how people actually fought, IMO. Looking at videos of people's interpretation of historical manuals and watching them hold the actual weapons and such. It kills me every time in a fantasy novel when both people have swords and the clinch, fight ending move is somehow kicking the other person in the chest.

Eh what huh oh you were using the proper acronym. Yeah that seems like good advice.

>TQ is about battles
If I was sober I would have a 5 post thesis on battles in Pokémon fanfic. Doesnt help that I’m on page 16 of a pure battle chapter and likely getting to 20-22 pages.

>>58954699
I don't think I write good fight scenes, but generally I try to use the environment to give the scene a sense of weight. I don't want it to seem like characters are fighting in an empty void.

>>58955004
I'd love to read it.

>>58955014
>I’d love to read it
Chapters 43 and 44 of Prince of Po Town will feature the battle and I’m not done with it but I’m proud of it so far. If you want my thesis on good battles, I’ll prolly post it tomorrow (no longer sober).

>>58954699
I like to think I write good fight scenes, but I've written a lot of 'brawls' more than one on one fights.

Personally when it comes to pokemon battles I tend to prefer righting them sort of inspired by in game battle mechanics. Both opponents act at the same time and are trying to predict and 'outplay' each other during a fight. Pokemon can't take that many hits unless they are built to tank so it really matters what moves you can get off. This keeps fights from dragging on, and lets each move carry more weight.

If using the same move often then don't write it the same way every time, try and come up with fun and interesting ways for the move to be used to keep battles engaging.

For bigger fights with lots of mons I don't let myself be caught up on every single action going on. Just take small snippets of different parts of the fight and try to have them flow from one piece to the next.

I shouldn't be writing paragraphs when I'm tired like this.

>>58955032
Good, I just started to write a fight scene today for my wip so hopefully it'll help. I already did TrainerVTrainer, now I'm doing a fight against a 2v1 dangerous wild pokemon.

>>58954699
>TQ
I don't, I write bad ones. It's a massive weakness of mine. In general, I lay it out like a pro wrestling match: plan some important spots and the ending, then just write through with what makes sense at the time. Also I try to remember that it's still a scene and I need to be considering my characters' wants and beliefs and that I'm conveying information even as they fight. That's how I came to all of the fights I'm most proud of.
Though if anyone has any better ideas I'd love to hear them.

If you care at all about your pokemon then you'd go to any length to get yourself pokemon genes so you could fight alongside them.
Objective #1 after failing to unlock aura or psychic powers should be hunting down Fuji and cussing him out until he breaks down like a bitch and gives you superpowers.

Didn't the New Normal do some shit like this? I remember him "teaching" his Pigeot Reckless because for some asinine reason pigeot weren't competitive viable in the author's eyes so he had to semibreak the rules of his own fanfic setting to make it viable.
It was an ability that technically wasn't one but still worked anyways because the author said so.

FF1anon, whenever you think of Wol, and I know he doesn't have a 'canon' appearance due to him being from essentially a player class from the FF games, but do you think of him with a stoic expression, or with a smile? As in the first expression that comes to mind?(I personally view him with the intial professionalism before it falters into that kindness of his.)

>>58956007
your pokemon can only hold one item at a time so, the opportunity cost of not having leftovers, assault vest, life orb, etc. doesn't outweigh the utility of being able to hit a single type super effectively
on top of that water is a fairly defensive type so chances are a water type would be able to withstand a taser hit, as well as the fact that fire is also weak to rock and ground both of which are more widespread than water types, even on non-rock/ground pokemon

that is to say, why would they bother

See this is why you need to be sneaky with your woke. Do things like indirectly show through skin and hair descriptions your MC is black. Or showcase a communal, anti-corporate lifestyle embraced by a major character without directly calling it socialism. Maybe even have a lesbian character that doesn't outright make a speech about her orientation but is clearly only attracted to other women.

Just little things like that, Elmo.

>>58956519
He tends to be stoic most of the time. He tends to come off pretty intense because he isn't usually very expressive, which is part of the reason other knights look up to him. He comes off as unflappable regardless of the situation, when in reality he's just bad at expressing himself. So people assume he is unshakable because he has an iron will, but in reality its more resting badass face.

This is one thing I noticed while reading game of champions, it's very, very american.

IMO had a subtle reference to Crystal Light (mentioned a TV show about a “brave knight with a Blastoise” or something like that). When I get to the part of PoPT where TVs exist I’m sure I’ll toss some references in as if the stories are actual TV shows in-universe (only with permission of course).

Honestly I agree with this guy's logic. Pokemon rights shouldn't exist except as a means to support Human rights. Pokemon shouldn't have their own rights by any means at all. They should be seeking to support humans by any means necessary. It's asinine to think otherwise.

There's no reason for pokemon to have the right to vote when they'll just vote for what their trainer voted for. And if they didn't vote for the same thing then it's evidence they didn't deserve the right to vote in the first place.

>>58962431
did you quote the wrong thing?

>>58962469
No. I'm reapplying the logic to another equally marginalized and oppressed demographic: humans in the pokemon world.
You're a fan of pokemon? Cool: include humans. The only pokemon issues worth discussing are human issues as well in essence.

>>58962478
Sounds like a joke but you're right, this fandom is divided between the ones that humans are the ones moving the world and the ones who think Pokémon does and that human plots should be from little to none always quoting PMD

>>58962478
I've never been a fan of PMD, I think the stories are the same as furry fiction. PMD is just humans shaped like pokemon, not pokemon themselves.

The thing is you don't even need to do that. You don't need to try and explain the fantastical parts of fiction because doing so is more immersion breaking than just not bringing it up. Trying to quantify the power levels of everything is a relatively recent trend that ends up turning fantasy and fiction into math.

Luffy isn't rewarded for disrespecting powerful people. He's rewarded for kicking the shit out of powerful people. Every time he hasn't been able to kick the shit out of the person he's disrespecting his reward tends to a near death experience..

>Damn, I forgot spacebattles is full of schizos and degenerates screaming they're not. A literal hell that has no middle ground
To be completely fair, so is 4chan.

>>58962710
Luffy's reward for standing up to authority is FREEDOM. People tend to look at him as a superhero or a dipshit, but the truth is he's a revolutionary. Everywhere he goes he goes out of his way to topple corrupt power structures, simply because good people that showed him kindness can't thrive where they are - even if in the short term he's imperiling them. Dude gave absolutely zero fucks about the consequences of breaking the face of a Celestial Dragon, because at that moment he NEEDED to be shut up and sat down for the cruelty he'd shown to the fish-people.

He's unironically the best way to write an idiot protagonist, and the secret is he's not actually an idiot - he just only cares about what matters to him, to the exclusion of all else. Gun X Sword also does this very well.

>>58962739
>Spoiler
Wait, wasn't that mostly a vengeance story. Weird ass final tho

>>58962813
>Wait, wasn't that mostly a vengeance story.
Yes but it takes different forms for different characters. The MC and his rival are the only ones who are specifically out for vengeance on Claw and the show is double based because Van gets his revenge and straight-up kills him with no frills.

But Van was also an idiot in the sense that he legit didn't care about ANYTHING except vengeance, he was so single-minded it brought him through every challenge and obstacle.

>>58962739
I'm aware of all this, but the difference is that what Luffy does isn't disrespect. Its taking action, which wouldn't really fit as the bingo. He beats the shit out of people. But when he can't beat the shit out of somebody then he ends up suffering the consequences and is never rewarded for just 'disrespecting' somebody. Off the top of my head he got stabbed and buried alive by Crocodile and then later mummified and thrown off a building by him in round 2, he got frozen solid by Kizaru, and most note worthy is that punching that Celestial Dragon got his ENTIRE CREW ass blasted so hard none of them even saw each other again for two years.

>>58962841
I would actually agree with you that Luffy isn't actually "rewarded" most of the time for that in an obvious sense. I mostly wanted to harp on it because it's such fucking good messaging that rarely gets focus among OP fans.

But half for the sake of a good argument I would still argue that, even if it's not to his benefit precisely, there is still a Narrative Reward for taking those actions, because his own acts end up inspiring others to act in turn, which ultimately leads to the Straw Hats prevailing. So even if he's not getting a direct positive outcome from striking at people in power, it's leading to betterment in the long run for the people suffering beneath them, because it's The Right Thing To Do.

>>58961424
The "MC Disrespects powerful people and is rewarded" square needs to be rephrased. Perhaps "Bigshots react positively to being disrespected by MC"? Better reflects the silverisms

>>58962921

>TQ What examples come to mind?
For Pokémon Fanfics, Borne of Caution’s Moore fight’s gotta be my favorite.

But thinking outside of fanfics? I think I fell in love with “anime fights” when I watched Naruto vs. Gaara for the first time. I was pretty young and rarely watched the show so I had a faint idea of what was going on, but something about that fight just hooked me. From there, Naruto vs. Pain and Invincible vs. Conquest (I know it’s not anime) are fantastic to me. The momentum swings and the beautiful back and forth, not to mention the high stakes, all stand out to me. It’s almost like I want to emulate the spirit of those fights, not the fights themselves.

>>58961669
I was thinking of trying some one-shot where my mc and the one from FF1anon's Biomon meet in some place between the fictions of both and simply rest before they return to the misery. Basically just a break from the bullshit, if only for a little while. But I just don't have the time as I'm trying to mainly reword/retool my wip to be more consistent as well as read PokeNormal and PoPT.

Maybe it's weird of me, but sometimes I imagine how much a (thread)fic would change if they had Vahnzimmig there, but I kind of stopped doing that as in almost every single instance he would be an active liability and assuming the protagonists of their respective works wouldn't do the reasonable thing and put him in some sort of therapy/insane institution/asylum for crazy Pokémon:
In CL, he would just not be strong enough and his fits would be undesirable in such a journey.
In IMO, he would at best just be a weak party member and only in a handful of situations provide some trivial help. (Like instantaneously knowing She- who-will-not-be-named is bad but that literally doesn't change anything.)
In PoPT, well, it's a damn societal breakdown and Vahn would be quite demanding. Ian would probably consider releasing him after like a week or something because lil' bro would not stfu about food.
In PokeNormal, he would... maybe this would be the only fic where he'd be not completely useless, but that's only due to Grand Eye, Estranged and Fox (internal voices.)
I haven't read Spice and Fox, Penfriends or Mahogany yet (sorry bro's :(. I just don't have the time.) so I couldn't tell you, but he'd be annoying there too.
Also, he would (if I understand them) absolutely HATE Pokéballs. I think the 'Mon turns into some sort of energy inside them? Well, this would probably mean he's seeing eternity, which he (is beginning to) hates.

>>58954699
How do you feel about flashbacks? Like a whole chapter about MC's childhood story they had

>>58963853
The writer has to make me care about that moment in the past ahead of time for me to bother reading the flashback. Doesn't matter if it's relevant to the current moments in story, if there was no teasing and buildup to the flashback I'll skip it.

>>58963971
The writer has to make you care about his whole work anyways, it doesn't matter if its a flashback or not

Follows a boy Kuzey and his Charcadet Crest as they get involved in a mystery about a pair of girls with identifical faces but no memory being chased by an OC Team faction. Very plot and character-focused and features a lot of the X&Y cast, but other regions like Hisui and Paldea are also involved.

>>58964282
At the risk of revealing my powerlevel a close friend of mine wrote a GR15 fanfic about an elderly Blue Fast mourning the death of her wife Purple Smart, and then dying at the end after overcoming her grief.

I was a teenager back then admittedly but the themes hit me pretty hard.

>>58964282
Before it got turned into the writing general in /vt/, the abuse threads had some fine works. Omelas was the good shit.

>>58964282
Yes, but they have all been vore fics. Sometimes its unclear who is going to survive to the end of a vore fic and so sometimes you end up hoping for a character you like to be alive by the end. By the nature of the fics it's usually a fleeting hope, but it does happen so even if their doom seems certain you still keep rooting for them. Just last night I read a fic like that where this one girl was seemingly the only nice person the loser MC had met recently. She did not make it.

>>58964877
It would be funny if she's a non-pokemon actual alien, and since she can speak the human language she just got a job. Although, maybe her being a pokemon would be funnier. If only in a meta sense for fics with pokemon oppression or something like Hyphen where the MC is hiding the fact they're a pokemon. The MC is all worked up and then they meet someone who completely invalidates their fears, making them feel silly and also crushed.

>>58964282
I’ve said it like every thread recently but Diaphanous Perception wrecked me all the way through

>>58964810
Out side of outer space Pokémon; like Clefairy, Deoxys, or Elgeym.

>>58962235
we need more chud fics

>>58965742
I considered writing a fic where the MC was gender bent because arceus didn't want them fucking everything in sight once isekai'd.
It would have been a parody of transfics, and the MC wouldn't actually want to be a girl, but also wouldn't care too much, and would be perving on girls and messing with boys, but it seemed too close to pure smut when I got to outlining ideas.
I still think it would be funny to see how the community would react to a trans MC that isn't actually trans.

>>58962283
Although I haven't red the fic itself, I'm waiting on you other anons to report on it. Reading the authors comments and what other people have to say on his fic is crazy. It feels like he's somehow taking his own fic out of context.
Like, not matter what her end goal is she instituted a point system to show her favor and mutilates the people who she disfavours. She's crazy and just as bad as whoever she replaced.

Hot off the presses are two new Prince of Po Town chapters. "The Pirate and the Prince" parts 1 and 2, featuring the battle that decides the fate of Po Town in the war with Sinclair's pirates and Team Skull. Kind of fitting there's a Mina pic and the TQ is about battles when I get to post my first full 6v6 fight in the story

https://archiveofourown.org/works/66210784/chapters/210855876

>>58965986
That's what the majority of what men would be like if they got magically genderswapped.
Hell, that's literally just Ranma. Half the time the dude doesn't care when he gets swapped and takes advantage of it to fuck with people and get benefits for himself.
Honestly, it's plain insane that such a mild portrayal is nowadays considered controversial and even a "parody".

>I still think it would be funny to see how the community would react to a trans MC that isn't actually trans.
They'd still call him trans. Just like how those niggers say futanari is trans, and traps are trans, and genderswap is trans, but they're also offensive to trans and fetishization and more retarded shit.

Everything so fucking dumb and so fucking retarded. I hate it.

The MC of the comic "Out-of-Placers" is that, sorta. Guy gets forcibly trooned by being turned into a female alien creature, and the story deals with a bunch of consequences of that.
Funnily enough a bunch of the people commenting on the official site for the comic constantly misgender the guy and treat him like a woman even though he'd hate that.

Since we're not surviving tomorrow, have you guys used original characters from the the anime or manga? I thought about using Yellow but I don't know if using would attract shipping autists like Serena does so I've been playing with the idea

I was thinking on using Matori, Giovanni's secretary, because I like her

>have you guys used original characters from the the anime or manga?
It would be weirder to not.

>but I don't know if using would attract shipping autists like Serena does
Man, you guys worry about the dumbest shit.
Who cares if that happens? If anything, if it happens, use it to your advantage. Play the victim. Earn yourself pity points.

>>58966500
How were you planning on using her? You say you worry about shipping autists, but to be honest, 99% of the time that happens is because the person using the "shipping autist bait" character is going out of their way to purposely use the character in a way to poke the hornet next. They never use the character because they want to, only because they wanna piss off other people.
If you're like that you deserve the autists jumping on you.

>>58966500
I don't think I've used any that weren't in the games in any capacity yet, but I'm not intrinsically opposed to it. My Brock's gonna be closer to the anime's than the game version because I like that guy, fuck strict adherence to a single canon.

And I'd say go for it with Yellow. I'm not even sure most of my readers have picked up the hints that my Serena's bumping uglies with Emma

Before things get chaotic tomorrow, are there any isekai fics where the person actually still has the console they played Pokemon in? The console doesn't have to have any special powers, but its just straight up a regular console that the MC brought them with.
Might be interesting if it hasn't been done already, might write one myself if it hasn't.

>>58966710
That's common in chink fanfics, at least the ones I read in webnovel

>>58966710
Not a big deal because all player characters have the current Nintendo console in their rooms

>>58966710
I had this idea where Pokémon Earth MC finds an Arceus phone that fell from the sky like the death note that has our world knowledge

>>58966782
Same concept, but it only has access to Ao3 and he uses it to spread batshit rumors about the sexual preferences of gym leaders/champions

Since the world is ending tomorrow, anybody wanna admit they have story where a human transforms into a Pokemon and gets adopted into a Pokemon family they've been hiding from me?
>>58966710
In my middle school fanfic my SI's best friend played Pokemon in-universe. It was treated as basically Madden or Guitar Hero, and my SI was too good for it.

>>58966500
>her
???
This whole time Yellow was a girl?

>>58966831
This Weightless Fall has something like that. It's not the entire focus, but it might be what you're looking for.

>>58966924
Thank you, I'll give that a chance

>>58966548
I forgot she was a real character and not some cringy oc Game of Champions made up.

>>58966710
Borne of Caution
its his phone with an emulator though

Should I just tag my fic self-insert even though it isn't? They don't know what I'm like.

>>58967178
Yes, do you honestly think all these SI characters act like that irl? That's just there to get more views

>>58967178
A lot of people use the self insert tag even though it's a character insert. The distinction doesn't seem to matter much anymore.

>>58967250
>>58967264
And the one time it did mean Self-Insert it actually caused whiplash in the community. TMET's protag was revealed to be a gay middle-aged neckbeard and the author had a public crash out because he was afraid he was doxxing himself with his character's background.

>>58967275
Really? His past characters/SI in older stories were gay and angsty as well.

>>58967178
If it's an Isekaijin why not? Besides who gives a fuck it's not like its important either way. Just do what you want to do and don't think so much about audience reaction, unless you're doing this for a job like Fuggman does.
Seriously people need to stop being insecure about this, this is barely actually advice. Instead of asking if you should do something, how about asking how to go about doing something.

>>58967292
If there's an extremely small change I can make to the tags that'll get my story in front of more eyes I don't think asking about it is a bad idea. I don't want to do this as a job, but I do want my stuff to get read by as many people as I can get

>>58967317
Maybe I'm wrong but aren't the SI tag and meta knowledge the best way to get views even if they story is trash? Like look at the entire isekai genre after the 10s

>>58961669
It'd be interesting to see. Maybe just a collection of oneshots showing the MC of one story popping into another, or maybe a seasonal special like with valentines or christmas.

>>58966500
Ash gets mentioned as an easter egg twice in my fic so far, neither by name. One is a news article surrounding a controversy surrounding the morality of the Galar fossil mons and how one was on the winning team of the Masters 8 Champion. Another was during an online argument about which pokemon champion was the best. When somebody mentioned the Masters 8 champion being from Kanto another person pointed out that he was the Alolan champion.

Have possibly more planned.

>>58961727
Why? Cucking Spice and Fox MC I can understand since he's a cuck and he failed to protect Braxien, but nobody else deserves it.

>>58967627
This. Most fossil mons are just, if we were to use some theoretical real science, clones of ancient species. The Galar fossils are Resident Evil levels of monstrous experiments with a cute coat of paint. The fish has its head upside down and can't breath, one is suffering constant hypothermia because half of its body can handle the cold the other half produces, and another is literally the lower half of a bisected body with a head grafted onto the tip of its tail.

SIOCs are about to get a massive buff from being the first to discover the new gimmicks and pokemon.
What's that? The gen 10 region was already settled by humans and it has a rich history of using the gimmick dating back hundreds if not thousands of years? I'm going to ignore that, sorry sweety.

>>58969465
I was already looking forward to using Megas from ZA my MC didn’t know about, gen 10 mons will be even better for that.

>>58969465
Funny, I was thinking about doing something similar with an oc rediscovering mega-evolution after the previous civilization was wiped out three thousand years ago.

>>58969465
how about MC traveling back in time and introducing Pokeballs, making him the creator and creating a bootstrap paradox?

>>58969691
Of course, the MC must be the source of everything. It wouldn't do for that credit to go to anyone else. Hell, the MC boostrap paradox'd his own isekai by creating Arceus. Everything's actually a bootstrap paradox, shamalamadingdong.

>>58975374
The entire animeverse is nothing but frauds, they got dominated by Leon of all people and their legendaries are regularly chumped by nets.
I'm convinced the animeverse is one of Arceus' jokes where he set its level cap to 20 just to see what would happen.

I think I need to rewatch some episodes of Brave and the Bold because I'm gearing up to write a conflict between Palafin and Malamar as part of this much larger fic I've been writing and it needs to be hammy.

>>58975709
Zinnia survived a stabbing and hyperbeam to the face, legendaries are fucking frauds everywhere and then there's Diantha's kid

>>58975833
Zinnia is a feral human who probably has powerful pokemon genes in her blood thanks to her ancestors fucking their dragons. That and Pokespe Fugg probably didn't want to actually kill a descendant of the lorekeeper he once saved the world with.
But the legendaries are too often frauds, yeah. I really wish that wasn't the case, but alas Gamefreak insists on directly involving major legendaries in each game.

Since the new games were announced, would it be cool if a fic made it so Alola and the new region were close together?

>>58976485
Unless there was some evidence in the games to back it up I would think less of a fic for bunching them together.

>>58973247
There's also the fact that even the people who like Horizons say that the powerlevels are absolutely and utterly shit. It's Shitneys on drugs.
>>58973391
That caused a melty because we had 20 years to look back on as a frame of reference and then somehow all the rules that'd been established and carefully and strictly followed magically didn't apply to Go so that they could keep trying to shove him down our throats.

I seriously wonder why Ohmori is so obsessed with vacations and tropical settings. Maybe it is yet another thing rooted on his daddy/mommy/family issues. They never took him to vacations as a kid so this is how he copes.

Logically I feel like the teeth should at least do some incidental scratches or punctures even if they fold out of the way. Also 'The swallowing began' is a lazy transition.

Nah, I don't mean it like that. I'm not particularly excited or looking forward to any new things or thinking "I can't wait to see what gen 10 adds I can play around with".
It's more of a "I can finally move on" sorta feeling.

Funny thing I’ve noticed after posting a double-chapter battle is a lot of people are dropping “likes” on the 2nd part when it’s confirmed the hero wins before they put a “like” on the first part.

So in essence, if you’re writing to get engagement, your readers will decide they’re enjoying your content as long as the hero wins.

>>58981727
If you post multiple chapters people will concentrate on commenting on the latest one.
It's the same all over. It's easier to make one comment rather than two and the content of the second chapter will be fresher on the mind.

>>58981752
I specifically said “likes” not comments. I’m able to see “likes” in the sequence with which they were placed, and a vast majority of the “likes” have been given to part 2 before they’re out to part 1 (moments later). Which is why I wanted to inform people of the interesting trend I was seeing.

>>58981954
>Two chapters are published at the same time
>Read the first chapter
>Read second chapter immediately
>Give it a like because I'm still on second chapter page
>Close tab I already gave a like pressing back on the tab is too much effort and by giving a like to this "second chapter" I've already given my appreciation as a whole
Same principle.

Next time post the chapters individually and I guarantee you none of this will happen again.

>>58982003
I think you’re forgetting the part of threads on SB and QQ where the like button is at the end of each chapter, so people are literally liking the second chapter, scrolling up, and liking the first retroactively moments later. Meaning they purposefully passed up on showing their enjoyment (a largely retarded, vain thing overall, I’ll grant you) until they knew the end result. Mind you, I’m taking note that 20%ish of readers are hitting that button before they get to part 2 (and these all have the same time in between, coincidentally enough).

It confirms a suspicion that’s been passed around this thread for a while but I wanted to see for myself (the protag MUST win). Regardless, this note was intended for authors who do care about engagement.

>>58981695
Mm, not really then.

>>58982091
>My protagonist loses his first fight
Well at least he wins his second.

>>58982300
Honestly yeah, that can be equated. At least the 2nd fight has stakes (although I had to engineer the opponent’s team for the MC to counter).

>>58982366
Well I had both fights be pretty short, and in the second he saves Clair who he lost his first fight to, against a wild pokemon who ambushed them and got a lucky hit in.

>>58982582
I still think about how we never see a single person in S/V riding a Cyclizar. Literally not one.

>>58982582
It's pretty retarded because at the end of the day you know the real reason for it to exist is not because they didn't think "wouldn't it be cool if your Pokemon could pull a carriage?" but because they're too incompetent and too lazy and too cheap to properly implement following Pokemon and riding your Pokemon. Despite somehow them getting it perfectly in Let's Go just to them fuck it up every single time afterwards.

We can always talk about aura, Invincible Pidgey-sama and guns if that makes you happy, you'll bitch and get sleepy
