>>58634402Good chapter, god damn Isaac's lucky Kayden was there, at least stuff worked out... Also feel really bad for his mom, him, and the doctor, stuff's just... Hard for everyone at the moment, and it's not like there really is anyone you can point a finger to in that regard.
>>58634673>Also got a question to all of our writers here. How do you select which Pokémon to include in your stories? I try to come up with something but I blank at the selection.Being blunt my thought process is just "oh hey that'd be neat to see". I try giving myself some guidelines I could work on before I settle on one, sometimes it depends on the demeanor of the character. For example, I knew I wanted a Snorlax to show up for the Pokeflute bit, so making it a formerly very lazy dog felt like an "easy" in for Kartanon to get into a fight without directly dwelling too much on the moral implications of actively picking a fight with a former human. Meanwhile for Amaro, I hadn't settled on him being a Corviknight until the day of, "crow" was just an idea I had so he could've been a Honchkrow or Corvisquire, but a Corviknight felt more "cinematic" for the scene, on top of tying with a theme I'm building up in the background
(teaser guy is related to that). A boss Watchog just felt funny, and Kartanon's friend getting Smeargle kinda does play as a bit of cosmic irony towards him bringing it up as an example of a mon he would've rather been. It's just... whatever's convenient for the plot, or whatever'd make for an amusing mental image.
