Chapter: The Pokémon Festival – May 23rd: The Pokémon Frenzy Tournament
Ein spurning: May las í bæklingnum að vatnspokemonar væru ekki leyfðir í keppninni. Samt voru tveir vatnspokemonar kynntir til sögunnar í keppninni.
Annars var kaflinn fínn, þó bardagarnir hafi verið þreytandi. Það gerðist ýmislegt spennandi, átök og sættir.Reply: Pokémonar sem þurfa vatn eru ekki leyfðir í keppninni, þ.e. fiskar og þvíumlíkt sem verða að vera í vatni til að berjast. Feraligatr og Blastoise geta hins vegar báðir barist á landi þó þeir séu vatnspokémonar.

Story: Scyther's Story
Chapter: Part II: Friendship
Under part "VI", it says:
"The humans called it ‘creativity’. The Scyther called it ‘unnecessary wondering about trivial things’."
It sort of jumped out at me. I'm wondering if it is meant to say:
The humans called it ‘CURIOSITY’. The Scyther called it ‘unnecessary wondering about trivial things’.
I could be wrong. Please clarify?Reply: No, it's meant to be creativity. It's talking about stories and how few Scyther actually bother to think about 'trivial things' enough to want to create some sort of an explanation for them, the way us more creative humans have done with religion through the ages. The comparison isn't quite parallel, since the creativity isn't exactly the wondering part, but this was the basic idea behind what I was trying to say.

Chapter: The Pokémon Festival – May 22nd: The Attack Approval
Þetta var erfiður kafli fyrir mig, endalausir bardagar. Ég á svo erfitt með að sjá pokemonana fyrir mér og fylgja þessu eftir. En mig langar að spyrja, hvað er þurr skógur? Og ef ég má koma með smá gagnrýni, þá fannst mér fyrri hluti kaflans dálítið samhengislaus.Reply: Þurr skógur er einfaldlega þurr skógur. Hann er í skógi að leita að einhvers konar vatni en eftir langan tíma er skógurinn í kringum hann enn skraufþurr, þ.e. hann hefur ekki fundið neitt vatn.

Was it only me who got really disgusted when Mutark came out with the spiky ball thing? [insert vomiting noise here] A great chapter, Butterfree! Gotten over your Buffy/Angel infatuation yet? The chapter craving is getting stronger!Reply: Disgusted in what sense? Because I agree that it's certainly very ethically questionable to give a Pokémon a Sticky Barb in the hope of making it hurt it and activating an ability, but the vomiting part makes it sound like the squicky kind of disgusting, which I'm not sure I get. o.O
No, not over the infatuation. You'd better get used to waiting, because as they say, you ain't seen nothing yet. Chapter 34 took me six months. :P

Hey, Butterfree.
Firstly, I hate you for all the sleep I missed because of your damned fic!! *Falls asleep on keyboard, wakes up with keyboard marks on face*
Secondly, I love you for the same reason!!!
Thirdly, I have some advise for you! No, I'm not trying to make you do anything differently, but just hear me out. I read some of the blog posts about chapter 51 and onwards, and how you aren't in the mood for writing. To fix that, all you really need to do is read through you fic once or twice. All the way through. Without any shortcuts. Tedious, I know, but i'll explain why.
While reading, search for any characters that could make a comeback (Victor, Mitch, Rick, Alan). Think up a problem for them, and how Mark fixes it. Write it down. There's a new chapter! Of course, It might not go anywhere, or even adhere to the plotline, but it's a chapter nonetheless.
Also fix a few problems for the other characters (May's Lapras, Mark's Letaligon, etc). Providing new problems is also an option, maybe make May lose her next league battle against Taylor, make her so angry that she has to come back next year. There's a few nice little back up plans for you if you run out of ideas!Reply: Well, see, that isn't my problem at all. I don't need ideas for stuff to make a chapter out of; I already have the entire rest of the story planned out and know exactly what is going to happen in chapter 51, and 52, and every chapter up to the final chapter. I'm just not in the mood to write it, which is entirely unconnected to my very plentiful supply of ideas.
But really, "Maybe make May lose her next league battle against Taylor"? Do you honestly think I wouldn't have something as significant and in as near a future as THAT very carefully planned already? o_O I'd need to be a blabbering idiot to have never given any thought to what happens with May's remaining league battles, even if I didn't have the entire rest of the fic planned. I appreciate your enthusiasm to help, but I'm really not desperate enough to start ripping off readers' ideas.
Plus, Mark really isn't the problem-solving type. At all. I can't recall a single problem he has come anywhere close to fixing during the entire story so far. Suggesting fixing problems as filler material is nice when fixing other people's problems is a natural thing for the character to do when nothing important is happening (e.g. most TV shows, which tend to be about people who unlike Mark are pretty competent at what they do), but in this case it is really… not.
But thanks anyway. Glad to hear you've taken an interest. :P

I would've loved the match to end in a draw, I love both characters way too much.Reply: Well, unfortunately, who wins a battle depends on the ability of the trainers and Pokémon involved, not on how much you like the characters. :P

Chapter: The Pokémon Festival – May 21st: Evolution
Þetta var skemmtilegur kafli. Svo May ætlaði ekki að þróa neinn af sínum pokemonum? En endaði nú samt með því að þróa Pikachu í Raichu.Reply: Aðeins tilteknir pokémonar þróast við að snerta svona steina. Flestir þróast bara við þáttöku í bardögum, sbr. Charmander og svo framvegis. Eevee og Pikachu þróast með steinum, en enginn af hinum pokémonunum sem þau eiga, svo það hefði ekki verið valkostur í þeirra tilfelli. Hún ætlaði ekki að þróa Pikachu, þar sem flestir steinaþróunarpokémonar (þó ekki Eevee) eiga erfitt með að læra nýjar árásir af sjálfsdáðum eftir að þeir þróast, en fyrir þennan rugling sem varð þróaðist hann samt.

Sorry for posting this late, but if the pokemon chooses to be with Mark in the end at Sailance, won't they suffer from the "weather effect"?Reply: You're confusing it with the IALCOTN. In the ILCOE, there is no named Effect at all; Pokémon don't like being there, but they don't suffer any adverse effects from being there, either.

There is a spelling error:

Á Mark ekki einn legendary pokemon, einhvern veginn minnir mig það. Var það ekki drekinn sem hann náði við vatnið í byrjun sögunnar? Þangað sem hann fór til að sjá Suicune?Reply: Nei, Gyarados er ekki legendary. Suicune er legendary; Gyarados er venjulegur Pokémon, en reyndar frekar sjaldgæfur og þessi ákveðni Gyarados er ekki alveg venjulegur heldur.

Chapter: Chapter 19: Good or Evil?
Eru legendaries eiginlega villtir pokemonar, verða ekki almennilega tamdir. Er Scyther legendary? Eru þeir að gera uppreisn?Reply: Legendaries eru goðsagnapokémonar. Þeir eru einstakir (þ.e. það er aðeins til einn af hverjum þeirra), ódauðlegir og mun öflugri en venjulegir pokémonar. Sumir eru taldir hafa átt þátt í að skapa heiminn, vernda sérstaka staði eða pokémona, stjórna veðrum eða náttúruhamförum og svo framvegis. Þeir eru í raun guðir þessa heims. Í Cleanwater City notaði gymið klón af ýmsum legendaries, sem mörgum finnst mjög rangt en er af einhverjum undarlegum ástæðum leyft.

Whoa. This is
1. Action packed.
2. The best chapter ever! (for me, anyway)
3. A real tearjerker.
Good job.

OMIGAWD. Wow. …Man, I wish you individualized Blaziken more. I mean, Blazey's my favorite Pokemon, and I had hoped, with the inevitable, cliched battle taking place between Mark and May, he would have more of a personality. You know, all sexy and awesome and stuff. XDDD (And hey, did anyone else see a bit of Scyther/Mark going on? I mean, not saying that was your intention, but that's just the vibe I got from it. XD)Reply: But I don't like Blaziken and the fact May replaced Quilava with him is a symbol of the dark side of her agonized psyche! :<
…okay, not really, but I think Blaziken has better things to do during battle than trying to be sexy for you. :P The amount of personality one can stuff into a short portion of a League battle is rather negligible unless the Pokémon happens to have a personality that shows itself particularly well in how it battles, such as Floatzel, or it gets a lot of opportunity to improvise. Blaziken had neither. And unfortunately, like most of May's Pokémon, Blaziken is not an important character in this story, and while his personality will show if there happens to be a situation where it would, I currently have no plans to go out of my way to include it.
No comment on Scyther/Mark. :P
