In fanfic, it really depends on the writer's preference. However, some Pokemon that are introduced later in the series, like those in Pokemon Gold, might be more popular as they are often seen as more unique or powerful. For example, Togepi is a Pokemon introduced in Gold and it has a cute appearance and interesting abilities, which makes it a popular choice in fanfic.
Yes, there are. Many popular Japanese manga have been translated into English and are available in various forms, such as physical books and digital editions.
We can recommend a few swordsman and samurai novels.
As for swordsmanship novels, we can recommend Mr. Jin Yong's works, such as The Return of the Condor Heroes, The Eight Dragons, and The Smiling Proud Jianghu. These novels used Wuxia as the theme, telling the heroic stories of the heroes and the grudges of the Jianghu.
For Japanese samurai novels, there was a recommended work called " The Guards at Dusk." The theme of the novel was the Bushido spirit, which described the Japanese's forbearance, reticence, competitiveness, and sense of mission. The other recommended book was " I Was a Sword Hero in Ancient Japan." It told the story of a protagonist who traveled to ancient Japan. He became a sword hero in this era and fought against all kinds of powerful people and dignitaries.
In general, swordsman novels and samurai novels had their own characteristics and charms. The readers could choose the works that suited them according to their interests.
The Pokémon used in this fanfiction's battles would be crucial. Ash has a diverse team with different types, which he could use to his advantage. For example, his Fire - type Pokémon could be used to counter Volkner's Electric - type when they have a type advantage. Also, the setting of the battles could play a role. If it's in a stadium with certain environmental factors, it could change the outcome of the battles.
Well, in many Pokemon Ash vs Red fanfictions, one key aspect is the different battling styles.

Their encounter in fanfictions usually showcases a clash of these two approaches, making for an exciting read.
Well, the Pokemon Ash vs Paul fanfic could be set in different regions. It could start with their first encounter, where there's an immediate clash of personalities. Ash's more friendly and open - minded approach contrasts with Paul's cold and calculating demeanor. As the story unfolds, their Pokemon battles become more than just about winning. They could be about proving a point, like Ash showing that kindness towards Pokemon can also lead to strength, and Paul realizing that there's more to Pokemon training than just power.
In this fanfiction, Ash and Gary's rivalry is often intensified. Ash is usually portrayed as the determined and passionate trainer, while Gary is the more arrogant yet highly skilled counterpart. Their battles in the fanfic can be epic, with both using their unique Pokémon strategies.
In this fanfiction, usually there would be an exciting battle between Ash and Brandon. Ash might bring out his signature Pokémon like Pikachu. Brandon, on the other hand, has his own powerful team.

One characteristic is the blend of Japanese cultural elements. For example, concepts like 'wa' (harmony) might be subtly woven into the story. Also, the writing often has a certain delicacy in the description of emotions and relationships.
