Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Kirk is literally the name of a trainer NPC in the Mauville Gym and I just wanted a gender neutral name for the Torchic.
Not everything's a conspiracy mate.
Don't bring politics into my silly Pokémon story. I write for fun, not to embed hidden messages or some nonsense.
Not in this story, they do not. You only get to participate in a Conference once though. After your official ‘debut year’, people with eight badges just participate in the Ace Trainer Rankings. They’re their own thing in this story.
Lol, Braille can’t actually be spoken like this my guy. And as such any book on it would be useless. It’s just a fun way of me writing his crazy Regi sounds.
A/N: Chapter is smol. But is important. Many things happen in few words.

“Earthquake! / Magnet Rise!” ‘These are Wattson’s best of the best! We aren’t fuckin’ around!’
Electrode: Lv. 61

Trick House is fun in the games when you have a bird’s eye view of the room, but when all the hallways and puzzles are at first-person perspective (and probably massively expanded in size due to it being real and not on a Gameboy screen) I imagine it’d be a lot more frustrating.
Also, does the...
Wait a second.
>Base Stats: An increase in letter grade does not meaningfully impact base stats, but it may provide a small edge. This is a much more subtle increase of quality than one that is readily pronounced. A Pokémon's Lv. should be taken as the more important indicator of who is...
I can truly honestly say, cross my heart and swear to die, that I have no plans of wiping out 98% of the population.
I didn’t have any additional info to add beyond what was covered in Chapter 1. But sure, I can edit in a section for it here just so it’s all in one place.
On the Subject of Potential:
Here's an index page that should hopefully provide some extra clarity on how the 'Potential' mechanic functions in this story.
I will admit, my thoughts on this feature have somewhat developed since its introduction back in Chapter 1 and the specifics may continue...
Always a bit disheartening when the first comment just has no faith in me.
You’ve skirted around it a little, but I think you’re close to the right idea in there. That being that most of the true value of these two will be in overworld utility. Teleports, Barriers, etc. Much more use outside...
