>>32817933>>32818093>>32819147>>32819264Oh wow, I am really surprised by all of the support I have got. I feel a whole lot more confident about writing this thing with all of this advice. Wish I could be able to reply to everybody, but I'm still happy with the responses regardless. Thanks so much!
>>32818512That's what I want to do. I want for it to have more of a twist compared to the PMD plotlines, but I still want to keep the core concepts of a Pokemon world and dungeons to explore.
The basic plot for my fanfic is that two Pokemon team up to uncover a secret about the future, but both have conflicting morals and are pathetically weak at the beginning, even though they're both fully evolved. It also deconstructs the concept of moves and abilities. Mine's a little closer to the PMD plotlines, but I'm always changing things left and right.
>>32819132This is super helpful for me. I always have an idea of my fanfic having different continents to explore and the main characters adapting to new places, so I'll make sure to save this for future reference.
>>32823387>>32823401That's some really interesting advice. I definitely want for the main characters to encounter and help different kinds of Pokemon and unraveling more secrets about the world. But does the main character transforming into a Pokemon make a PMD fanfic any better or worse? It's such a staple to the games and fanfics, but neither of my two main characters are transformed humans.
Lore is probably my most favorite thing when it comes to writing this fanfic, because like you said, the PMD lore is kind of weak and it usually takes a few ideas to really flesh it out. Heck, the second example you listed is one story idea I have that's important for one of the character's from my fanfic. Although sometimes I feel like I add too much of it to a point where I realise most of it is pointless to the main plot. When it comes to adding my own lore, when do you think enough is enough?
