>>23532897I actually toyed with the idea of a female Gallade before. Back before PSS was changed to not allow hackmons, I used to run one. Was always bothered that they made Gallade male only but kept Gardevoir as both genders. Both forms should have been both genders imo.
The story was pretty cringe-y though. "Curly" as a nickname? I guess it's better than a random Japanese name.
I didn't like how it was a grim ending with an epilogue pointing out the lack of a happy ending. Felt "dark and edgy" in a bad, 'written by a 14 year old who plays Linkin Park loud enough to damage his ear drums' kind of way.
You did warn it would be "autistic and edgy" though.
