Best for me to consistently repost stuff so I don't forget and it's easier to crossreference!
Fic Ideas/Questions:
New Pokémon fic idea I probably won’t ever get to but still daydreamed about: Galar sports tournament where they play football (soccer) and things proceed like the plot of the game. It would play out like Inazuma eleven. Minus the super powered humans, it’d just be the Pokémon.
I completely forgot about pokeathalon when writing this but the point still stands that a sports centric look at the Pokémon world would be pretty fascinating, huh. The consideration of the meta for the various sports, like, would vitamins be considered cheating or not, an evil sports team, another team of super fans like Yell, what do you do when the eventual child with a legendary or mythic shows up…
After my origins rewatch months ago I’ve ended up thinking about potential sequel ideas in fic format. First one was centered on Green (rival) doing the Sevii islands quest since that’s a piece of content that was entirely skipped over and the second was a Johto take on Origins. Haven’t really worked on that one as much though, I like writing stories by generation.
Random fic idea of the day (maybe I should start a collection of these): a fanfic poking at the structure of the Pokémon universe and the typical game story beats but written in the form of an academic essay.
This idea would be following the basic plot of a game and just finding a bunch of citations based on things that happened, probably interviews and various other pieces of media to follow up on.
So far the imagined version in my mind would start off with explaining the Pokémon journey, possibly the structure of the league as a whole, then moving onto teams and why they keep getting created and then onto legendaries as a whole. Then maybe a lean on the fourth wall with the author going “why is most of this centered on like one particular child in these events. Are you guys noticing this or what”. That seems decent enough.
How in the world does the legal system in Pokémon work in a sustainable way? Like the first thing I immediately thought of was the mass breeding and releasing done in previous generations for either shinies or a good competitive nature. Certainly that sort of thing must be illegal, right? A lot of commonplace game mechanics must be under some amount of scrunity like shiny collectors. A few supplementary works do mention that carrying 6 Pokémon is recommended and automatically transfer other mons out but how did that work before the PC system? Would Giovanni be a tax dodger if taxes exist in the world?

Do I hate writing dialogue or fight scenes more?
Writing dialogue is easy as hell when all your characters sound like weirdoes saying whacky stuff. It’s just the overuse of the word “said” that makes me want to pull my hair out because I default use it and have to keep coming up with new things but also making sure the characters are doing things instead of just standing or sitting around— pain. It’s a pain.

Doing some observations on my Pokemon fic drafts. I’ve noted now that in my works that I’ve published or nearly completed that I tend to avoid actually writing out the Pokemon fights, which is something I should work on. The nature of battles do tend to follow a structure of “trainer tells pokemon to do something” in the fics I’ve read, which makes sense, the nature of writing a fic means that they aren’t turn based anymore, but I also just recall most battle attempts I’ve written to be “dodge! Do this instead.” I guess that’s why I tended to focus more on the human relationships.
Battles feel like the kind of thing where they should be either flying or flashy or maybe like puzzle solving but the action of turning an RPG battle into a shonen fight and then thinking about mechanics psychs my brain out. Which is why I’m probably going to make a story centric on fighting so I can force myself to learn efficiently.
