>>31909096As I mentioned in the previous thread, the conclusion to my series is coming along well.
>Recently posted chapter 19:https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10121590/19/Gift-of-the-Protector-Radiant-HeartPlan to write two more chapters and then an epilogue. Progress on my next Pokemon fiction is also working out well, I've gotten helpful feedback. Ideally at the end of Protector, I'll move on to publishing the next story.
>Topic Of The Thread: While it is obvious Pokemon play certain roles, whether in battle or society, what if a Pokemon had to play a completely unfamiliar role for whatever reason, like a Garchomp for fighting is now working with Nurse Joy as an assistant?I like this concept and it is a running trope in my fics. I'll pair up Pokemon with personalities that don't fall squarely in line with their appearance/dex entry. As for actual roles in a cohesive battle team, that is more difficult to write because of the way typing and environment are related. (Example: even if a pure ground type loves the idea of being acrobatic in the air and hopes to become a pilot, its elemental strength from nature derives from the earth itself. This makes for some interesting concepts when personality is imparted onto the Pokemon, because then they may unambiguously inform the reader of their likes, dislikes, quirks, etc.)
