Okay, I have to ask this.
What *is* it with people writing dark Pokemon fics lately? We need a good
supply of Pokemon fics, this is true. And I'm normally not one to
discourage authors from writing darkfics.
But dark Pokemon fics...it's just *wrong*. It's wrong in the same way
Pokemon lemons are wrong.
I totally agree on the lemon's issue but I think Pokemon being dark is fine.
Why can't authors who want to write Pokemon fics come up with a nice, epic
adventure, filled with humor, to inflict on the Pokemon world, rather than
trying to come up with the darkest stuff about evil Pokemon trainers and
evil Pokemon and villages being wiped out?
I'm not to good on humor just yet and all the evil Pokemon trainers in my fic
so far is a bias view of a victim from the one destroyed village.
Maybe I'm just being a pissant about this, but someone could write the best
damned Pokemon fic ever written, a darkfic filled with superb command of
the English language, perfect characterization, terrific imagery, excellent
narratives...
..and it would still be horribly wrong, because it's a Pokemon darkfic.
Sorry. That's just my take on it.
No, I wouldn't say you're being a pissant just opinionated. Nothing wrong with
that I'm very opinionated myself sometimes. The only reason I did a Dark
Pokemon fic is because this idea just struck me and I wanted to do it. Mostly
to improve my probably not so good writing skills. I'm sorry you don't like
it. Hopefully not everybody agrees with you that Dark and Pokemon don't mix.
If they do I guess this is all you'll see of this and I'll try to write a
nice, bright, humorous Pokemon fic for the list. If they don't I guess you'll
just have to hit the delete key a few more times than normal.
