>>33502559>sceneA story is not a sum of scenes, it is made of arcs spliced together seamlessly. If you view your writing this way, it will always be mediocre, discrete and predictable.
It isn't "important to a scene", it's important to the whole story. How often do you think about these things in real life? Not even talk about them, but think about them? You do them everyday.
>>33503516The point is to answer these questions, obviously. I'm curious myself.
Now, if I were a less ambitious writer, I would decide to leave these questions unanswered.
But I've decided that enough is enough: proving to myself that it CAN be done. I want the unvarnished TRUTH. I seek the truth in all things. If I am the first to do this with Pokémon, then so be it.
If I'm not, then I don't care; I'll do it anyway. I'll do it better!
>>33503789Fiction is meant to be a reflection of real life, but controlled by the author.
Real life is governed by rules and laws.
Therefore, your fiction should be governed by rules and laws, broken only rarely.
For me, it means including the good and the bad.
>>33503516One of the antagonists (Galba [Absol]) is addicted to pornography. His father (Veliocasses) owns a bar called the "Slice of Life".
I guess the idea is to show that Galba has let himself become a true bestial animal,
that so-called "adult" content has the quality of addicting its consumers into childish ways.
I think that he comes in time to be addicted to wet things. Kyogre, perhaps?
Maybe he gets addicted to "elixer", the popular drug used as an inhalant?
Galba had a tough childhood, but his parents did love him and try to make him better off than they were themselves.
It should be noted that I've been using the words "person" and "people" to describe Pokémon. This is no accident: I planned beforehand to use these terms usually reserved for humans for Pokémon instead because there were no humans in my story.
