 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.

I have to agree on both points.  I mean, the average beginning trainer 
is ten years old, so there's a good chance your character has been 
slaughtering a lot of children all this time.

I think the point is, there seem to be more dark Pokemon fic series on 
this list than otherwise, and Pokemon is a far from dark series.  It's 
okay to have a serieous fic, but we already have two "Pokemon Assasin" 
fics already, and we've just started writing Pokemon fics.  

 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.

They don't mix as well as say, a Bubblegum Crisis Darkfic(ov which there 
are too many, anyway.).  Pokemon is not a dark series, yet every other 
series out there seems to get someone killed.  I read a fic off the 
Pokemon Fanfic ML recently where two newborn pokemon got their necks 
broken for no reason, two Mewtwos and a Mew got slaughtered, and Ash's 
Bulbasaur was burned to death by a flamethrower-wielding ex-Rocket, and 
that was in the first three chapters.  Granted that the Pokemon world is 
probably more serious that the show makes it out to be, but really.  

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.

It's not that, it's just that the first thing to come to mind when you 
write a Pokemon fic shouldn't be 'Darkfic.'  Maybe there should be a 
Statue of Limitations prohibiting Dark fanfics for a non-dark series for 
a few months after the first one in posted.
