Title: Pokemon! Wait, WHAT?
Chapter: 1
Story URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6617896/1/
Author URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2634238/
--------------------
Wow... What an in-depth review...
First off, I'll start by thanking you for giving me such a detailed review and
taking the time out to point out all my mistakes and errors. I really
appreciate it. I'm sure it could have been done a bit less... ah...hatefully,
but I can see how poor writing could irritate you. I'll keep the corrections
in mind.
Now, you're probably right about the medical treatment outlined here, but the
fact was that Takuya was still in a bit of shock and so did what came
naturally, aside from the fact that he had never treated a pokemon before. His
mind sort of went on autopilot, so to speak. And he probably didn't think it
was a good idea to leave it and call someone saying that he had an injured
POKEMON in his house - who'd listen to him after that?
I wouldn't start ramming medicine down some injured animal's throat, believe
me, so rest assured there would be no problem there. I also know quite a bit
on biology and anatomy and that, but I was of the impression that pokemon were
slightly different.
I'm sorry about the capitalizing, but in all the official, published
literature on Pokemon - sorry, pokemon - that I've read, not only the names
but the word pokemon itself always started with a capital letter, so I'd
assumed that since Nintendo wrote it like that, that's how it should be. Sorry
for the mistake.
I usually just play the games, so I probably don't know much about how real
pokemon should be, but i had this idea in my head and it wouldn't go away. In
fact now that I've gotten it down I can feel my writer's block on my other
story disappearing. I would very much appreciate your help in writing the next
chapter, Farla-sama.

Subject: re: Your review to Arrow of Destiny
A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/6617656/
The reason Arrow is darker coloured isn't natural at all, and so will become
clear later in the story. He shouldn't even exist which will be explained
later and is in conflict with the Legends. Because he lives he has created
cracks in time.
And he isn't learning to fall its Fly.
The reason I capitalize Pokemon and Pidgeotto, or any Pokemon and their moves
is the simple reason that its not a real world nor real creatures so the same
rules don't apply. In my eyes, and many others it looks better and means you
wont skim over an attack or Pokemon by accident. If you have a problem with it
then fine, but throughout my story I will Capitalize their moves, names and
Pokemon.
AS for the slow start, I didn't want to jump straight into the action like
most stories, I wanted, on purpouse a slow begining to give more background to
Arrow.

This is one of the most glaring examples of missing what I actually said. I complained it was a bad idea to make him be differently colored and claim the coloring was better adapted to their surroundings. Not that he wasn't allowed to be a weird color, just this one incidental throwaway detail was a bad idea.

If you didn't like it at the first sentence then maybe you didn't need to read
the rest. However I do realize this is short and mostly filler, but I wrote it
at one in the morning. During the Summer. So the reason it's Christmas in the
story has absolutely nothing to do with how it was just the holiday season.
Thank you for the tips, what I could make out of them anyway.

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/6618348/
First of all, flames are not welcome. If I wanted my story bashed, I'd hand it
to a highschool girl. So your reviews are no longer welcome or appreciated.
Second, these physics apply to everywhere. Think about the forces pokemon
battles can involve. Death can happen anywhere, and besides that, it's a
NUZLOCKE CHALLENGE. Need I remind you that all of my pokemon will die if they
lose? It's just reality physics. Big power = big hurt ~= death.
Flame if you like. But not to my stories. I work hard on them and take them
very personally, and I would appreciate the basic respect of such. Thank you.

Actually, if you take a look at the official Pokémon website, ALL Pokémon
species names are always capitalized, whether the individual is named as such
or not. I understand your logic, but I find that stories utilizing the
official method of capitalization tend to get less grief.
You're right about dad vs. Dad, however.
And Mr. Stone is meant to be outrageously over-the-top with his
protectiveness. That's the whole reason Steven ever leaves.

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/6618348/
You seem to have put a lot of thought in to your review, and I respect you for
that, but with the way you
address the situation, it appears that you're just bashing what the writer is
trying to say, even if it is a bit odd....
On the other hand, the fiction part of the story is really what makes it
interesting, saying that the story is unreal seems
silly in this case.
Moving on, while it is grammatically incorrect to capitalize all the names of
the Pokemon, as you previously mentioned, it
is the fault of marketing techniques employed by Nintendo that make the
wrongly capitalized version of the names the only ones
that most people know. Even if it would take only a minute to figure out
that:
[You wouldn't capitalize animal or mouse or dragon, so you shouldn't
capitalize words like pokemon or pikachu or charizard. The only time you
should capitalize it is if you're using it as the pokemon's name, ie, Ash's
pikachu is called Pikachu. This is because you only capitalize when it's a
proper noun, which are the names of places or things. Similar reasoning should
be applied to any other words you're thinking of capitalizing, like telephone
or trainer. Or professor.]
Most people who are unsure would go with the capitalized version out of habit,
or because if you make the same mistake everyone else does, few people
notice.
In conclusion, I would just like to say that while I even partly agree with
you, I believe that there are other ways to go about telling people when
they're wrong,
and that writers are all entitled to their own opinion of things. (If you
think about it, in some cases fan fiction gives way to some extremely diluted
and
erroneous fictions.)
P.S. In my writing above I mean no wrong to you, and in fact before writing
this I went to your profile and I really enjoy your writing. I was just
reading the feedback you gave and though it was unfair (in the simplest
definition of the word, because we know the world isn't fair, so possibly
unbalanced?) and decided to reply to you.
Message me back if you have any questions, comments,or concerns about my
message. Also keep up the great work :D

--------------------
Hm, thank you for your review, it feels kinda nice getting honest feedback.
Anyways, I see what you mean by "it's not a pokemon fanfic, it's generic." and
I realized I should probably work on that for future reference... I think I'll
just rewrite it in a few months, anyways to see how much I've improved and
what I still need to work on...
Anyways, as for the drabble part, I realize that a true drabble is exactly a
hundred words long. However, in the case of other drabbles I've written, they
always say to make them longer (to about five hundred words), but I appreciate
your honesty and I'll try to work on making my future drabbles true to their
meaning.

Yeah, I'm just testing things out. I really need more help for writing and
stuff like that. Thanks for the input for the things and stuff. I really need
to know what my readers are thinking. Reviewers just put stuff that they want
it to be all nice and stuff but I really want a true answer. Thanks for the
input and the review :)

So yes, we are officially in bizarroverse now.
WTF, people. I really don't know how this happened. I could say it's because of my awesome review spam, but that doesn't really make sense. I'm spamming PUNCTUATE DIALOGUE RIGHT AND STOP CAPITALIZING POKEMON, and god knows that hasn't worked.
