Subject: re: Your review to Pokemon Rose
A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/6635572/
Wow, thanks for the critique! I've been on for years, and this is the first
review I've received that's actually made me look at my work critically. It's
really rather refreshing. My ego needs to be torn down every now and again.
xD;
All of your points are very valid, of course, but I will admit I'm a bit
uncertain on the capitalization of the species thing. I suppose it's because
the game itself does the names in ALL CAPS, but I've always seen the names
capitalized. I know the excuse that "everybody's doing it" doesn't make it
correct, but sites like Bulbapedia capitalize the names, and even the inserts
that come with the games follow that capitalization strategy. Your reasoning
makes sense, but I'm going to choose to be consistent with the sources I'm
using.
I was unaware that the pacifist parents were a cliché, but looking back, I
can see where it might be. Oops. If it's any consolation, the characters of
the parents -are- intended to be a bit extremist in comparison to the rest of
the world. I'm afraid I don't have any excuse for the kids choosing to go
against their parents, however, apart from "they're rebellious preteens."
Apologies there.
I also have to admit that it was probably a poor idea to post this prologue
here by itself. As you mentioned, nothing's happened, which was primarily
because it was meant to be a test for the illustrations, to see how I could
wrap the text around and such. I wanted to work some of the kinks out before
starting the actual plotline and see if the people on dA would be receptive to
a story in that style. Of course, by just posting the bland intro text on ,
that purpose was kind of lost. My mistake.
So yeah. Thank you once again; you've helped me make some decisions concerning
posting this in the future. Of course, you probably don't care to hear me
rationalizing my choices for my fic, but still. Take the gratitude if nothing
else. Judging by the reviews on your stories, it doesn't seem like you get
that very frequently. xD;

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/6635936/
I probably would have taken this review constructively if you weren't such an
asshole about it, but then I read some of the reviews on your stories,
thinking, "Maybe since they think they're so high and mighty, they must be
pretty good, right?" I was glad to find that you have quite a reputation for
being rude and a prick, so now it doesn't affect me at all :)

At least they're reasoning.

Subject: Regarding your Comment.
Thank you for telling me my errors I'll be more careful when I write my next
chapter. But about the Absol losing her mother, she was enveloped with grief,
and besides animals have a tendency to be both childish and mature, she is
also innocent and naive. I think that's how animals would react first when
they lose their mothers at a very young age even though they are in danger. I
think I would feel that way also if I were an animal, I wouldn't think first
that I would be a sitting duck if I lost someone precious, I would first cry
my heart out with grief. And the Growlithe helping her, I'm just saying that
Growlithes being dogs in nature, do not think first before leaping into danger
so that was why he helped the Absol, besides they're kindred spirits now, they
both lost their mothers. I'm just saying that pokemon, being just like
animals, sometimes don't act like how we think them to act. I've read stories
about tigers taking care of pigs because her imprinted mother was a saw. That
a snake befriended a hamster that was supposed to be its lunch, and I think
those real life stories are wonderful to use in fiction to share with others.
And give the Growlithe a break, I mean they're children? You think you can
take on a huge Fearow when you're the size of a cat, c'mon, be realistic,
don't you play the poke games? The only move your starter pokemon have is
either tackle, pound, peck, and even wing attack, let's face it, a Fearow's
level is probably more or less 20, and a starter pokemon's level is 5, how do
you think would win? Even if you use an electric-type it's still lvl 5, it'll
still faint. I dare you to use a pokemon at lvl 5 with no items, no cheats, to
win. So please think, and see in an animal's view how it would survive without
any help when it is young.
