Wow you sure must be the world's best wrotter...Man this is fanfiction where
people not true ass writters can post stuff. Now, if you got a long ass thing
to say to me how about sending it as a message instead of posting it publicly
where people who actually like my shitty writing have to look at it. I'm not
angry I'm just saying next time send me a private message and don't post these
stuff pubicly where people can see it and then think ym story sucks before
even giving it a chance.....how about reading chapter two since you only
comment on chapter one....

Title: A brief history of the Pokémon world
Chapter: 1
Story URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5910693/1/
Author URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1963774/
--------------------

The main gag is that it turns out that the Pokémon world is based off the
Code Geass universe.

random sue guy is the main character of Code Geass, so the whole story was
basically Code Geass with Pokémon instead of mechs. The reason that I didn't
class it as a cross-over is so the twist at the end wasn't spoiled.

Other than that, you just need to think of how much of the world was conquered
by the British empire, then add on the fact that the british had all the
over-powered pokémon, and most of the world didn't have enough variety of to
work out the elemental weaknesses, and by the time they did the British had
much more pokeomon.

Bear in mind, the American revolution was guns v guns. Now put it as farm
animals vs war dragons.

--------------------

It should be mentioned here that the story explicitly mentions Code Geass, I just thought I didn't need to tack on a "I don't care if this is based on another game's timeline because the pokemon version you've cobbled together is a pile of shit". Clearly I was in error.

Also, just for the record: The American revolution used hunting guns, which were the most advanced technology at the time by dint of BEING ABLE TO ACTUALLY AIM THEM. I am not fucking kidding. It was considered a feature because if soldiers weren't aiming it wasn't actual murder if the guy at the other end was hit. My ancestors, fresh slaughtering Indians, had no such morals and promptly sniped the fuck out of those troops. So in this metaphor, the farm animals are Terry Pratchett's giant draco nobilis to the British's three foot draco vulgaris "war dragons".

Subject: Reviews and such (this message contains no flaming or anger
whatsoever)

Hi Farla,
I'm Antismurf Lord of Darkness. You had reviewed two of my chapters for a
pokemon fic about a ditto. I was actually wondering if you could look over
the remaining two chapters if it isn't too much trouble. So far, you're the
only person (out of two) who actually helps me to improve my writing. These
chapters are relatively short (less than 1500 words). If you didn't like the
story, you don't have to. I understand completely.
If you're interested, it's called "Fall of a Champion" and is in the drama
section. It's also rated T, so you wouldn't have to special search for higher
ratings. I just uploaded the last chapter today, so it should be near the top
of the list.
If you choose not to look these over, I'd like to thank you a lot for what you
did help me on with the earlier chapters. It was extremely helpful. I know
that you generally try not to review the same author multiple times, but feel
free to review any and all of my stories (which isn't that much, but I bet
that you get my point). Once again, thanks!

Antismurf

I didn't know that about guns in the American Revolution! I knew that muskets had basically no aim, but I just assumed it was because of the technology level of the time (I guess I should have realized hunting would have been impossible if this were true), nor did I know that America had that advantage.

Also, from what I understand the hero of Code Geass is supposed to be morally ambiguous. Possibly the author of that fic meant for douchebag Stu to be unlikable, and their biggest mistake was not realizing they'd have to be a much better writer than they are to pull that off and still have a compelling story.

You just wasted your time writing this.

This is so very awesome because it was all auto-correct. ^_^

Basically, when the gun was fired, the gunpowder exploded in your face, so you had to turn your head away first. I was boggling when I first heard this since it seems like something you should obviously fix, but soldiers generally don't want to aim at people anyway and since everyone was standing in neat lines they could just fire in the general direction and hope for the best. Then the church was all "Yeah, it's not murder if you're not looking, because it's like, God, he like decides if the bullets hit or all man."

But then people got to America and realized there were animals made of delicious meat running around. They ended up with guns designed with guards to block the gunpowder burst and no qualms about aiming at living targets. We literally hunted them like animals. Stuff like this makes me realize that winning the war was kind of a forgone conclusion.

And yes, that is the joy of autocorrect. It makes this infinitely less frustrating.
