what are some tips to ensure that my fanfic isn't cringy garbage?
> all fanfics are cringe garbage
correction: how do I minimize as much cringe as possible from my fanfic? what are some signs that there is cringe that can be changed?

honest advice? use as few game mechanics as possible. You can draw inspiration from spe or even the ashnime, but not the video games. And I say this as someone who adores the games.

I know better than to try to make "taking turns" canon, I'm not that retarded.
but, what about things like mud shot cucking your accuracy, or scald burning you?

Just play that out logically. If a Pokemon got hit by mud shot they've got to deal with having mud in their eyes and not being able to see. If they got hit by scald have the pain from the burn make them have trouble hitting as hard. My advice is just look at the game mechanic and ask yourself what it's logically actually representing.

thank you, anon.
what about stories & writing? my stories are already pretty edgy-free, save for the "Goddammit Wally" joke we have running, but I just wanna make sure that I don't look like some edgelord teenie.

Aside from using your own self awareness I think all you can really do is read as much as you can and get a feeling for what works and doesn't. There are plenty of resources online for aspiring writers too, and I'm sure you could find various videos or articles that talk about various mistakes people tend to make early on.

thank you
last question I'll dare to pester you with:
how do I write more innocent characters? I've been having a blast writing flawed characters because it's their sinful nature that makes them so fun & easy to write, but I wanted a character who was very kind & supportive, but still find a way to make her character develop over the episodes. how can do?
I can handle making her respected for her battle prowess from there, I think.
