I never said that. I'm strongly considering having the Bats and Breezie incidents occur, and I definitely have a Power Ponies chapter planned that has the issue they get sucked into serving as a pilot for a new art style and protagonist going by the title "Project H".
Sweet. Would expect nothing less from the guy who made Ash into an actually interesting character... twice!

Twice, huh?

While we're on the subject, may I ask what you have enjoyed from these stories thus far?
A lot would be the understatement of the year! Honestly, the story is well-paced, it never gets boring, and the fight scenes are awesome. And that's just the pokemon ones! The Lost Element explains a lot of what the show never did, and adds a lot of characterization to the cast. You are by far the best fanfic writer I've ever read! Oh, and I actually got most of the references! Though I did have to look up the ones you used on Applejack, though.

Thank you. I know I am pushing it when I ask this, but what specifics of each story have you enjoyed most? I apologize for asking, but I greatly enjoy reading detailed feedback. Makes it feel like writing this stuff is worth it.
No prob. From Guardian of the Chosen Oneand Pokemon Legends, I really like how Ash is characterized. He seems more mature, and that right there is why, in my opinion, the BW anime needs to be nuked. They took away all the maturity he had gained from Kanto to Sinnoh, and put him right back at square one. Plus, you also help Gary mature as well. Though is was rather odd to see Neo fly off the handle when they met. Just because Gary was a grade-A douche, you don't need to beat him to a pulp! As for Rukario Romance and Forbidden Love, the character development is what kept me going. We see Ashton go from being naive and headstrong to a stalwart warrior. Same goes for Ash. They grow and mature, and really understand what it means to have people worth fighting for. And nice retcon when we learned the the american name is Lucario. Now for The Lost Element. I haven't watched much of the show, but joshscorcher and ACRaceBest's videos help me understand most of what's going on. And that's the beauty. Those who know the show get a good laugh out of the incident, and those who don't can just count it as a Noodle Incident and move on. It's a good place to start if you're interested in the series. And again, I'm a sucker for good character development. And awesome armor. Now if I could just get off my laziness and write my fanfic that's been swirling around in my head for the past 2 years...

Thank you. Any future commentary will be appreciated. :handshake:

As for Neo's reaction to Gary... Well, that was pretty much me channeling my extreme dislike of that guy. Until he was finally humbled in Johto, I had no love for him. At. All. I think the only rivals Ash has had that I could hate more is Paul, for obvious reasons, and Trip for being unconditionally prejudiced towards other Trainers depending on their origins. In that regard, Trip could quite possibly be the worst of them all. If I ever get around to to continuing my Pokemon stories and he shows up, I'll make sure he gets the proper response for such behavior.
Goody! Eh, but to be honest, Trip isn't as bad. Some of the stuff Paul put his Pokemon through.... just disgusting. On another topic entirely, is it wrong that I have secret hopes for a collab of some sort between you and joshscorcher? You guys would probably get along very well.
