I’ll place my ranking here and describe why it is so for my own opinion. But for those who don’t wanna read a long reasoning, tl;dr highly recommended but not without its own problems.
Writing Quality: 4/5
The Author can be said pretty experienced in writing, though sometimes consistency is kinda weird? Like we never gotten stats of any Pokemon and it was pretty standard until we get a stat board of Genesect and it was really out of left field for me. Apart from that I really liked his Ash vs Gary chapters, I mentioned it why I liked it there already.
Updating Stability: 5/5
Not much to say, except a crazy quick update, I would read the new chapter and 2-3 hours later there would sometimes be a new one. I’m a bit worried for burnout so just take your time for it.
Story Development: 2/5
Yeah, it’s a bit weird. I have a lot to say about this so you can skip this if you don’t wanna read it. It’s kinda hard to stomach the first dozen chapters cause of how fast it is but it slows down so it gets better. The overall development is weird as well, essentially what I digested was, gets attacked by a evil team (was it Plasma? I forgot.), wakes up with system, meets Oak and Ash, trains Ash, gets fossil pokemon with his Noibat, somehow get to Oreburgh? Meets his waifu who gets infatuated with him in 2/5ths of a chapter, challenges cynthia, becomes a substitute gym leader, goes to ancient sinnoh? And then some more. I like the story, it’s just rushed in some spots that I would like some more development time, like his waifu (though it’s acceptable on how you developed it later on), there’s only 1 thing that I would really like. Some sort of flashback to his previous team, he had 3 Pokemon, a Noivern, a Sandaconda and another Pokemon that I don’t even remember, yes it’s so rarely mentioned that I can’t even remember what was his 3rd Pokemon back then.
MC has a vendetta against some Team dude and wants to kill him, I don’t feel much about the antagonist because I haven’t made a bond or received any bad impression apart from ‘he killed the MCs previous Pokemon’. Heck I have stronger emotions against that inspector Joy and that new Team Rocket inspector, so I feel like some sort of bond needs to be made with his previous team for us to look forward to the MC smash the hell out of the antagonist, and flashbacks are there for that. Besides, the antagonist doesn’t really get mentioned, he showed up in the first chapter, gets mentioned by Sirius maybe around chapter 80s and now 110s he gets mentioned again so again, I don’t feel much about him.
Character Design: 4/5
It’s Pokemon, not much to say apart from the One Piece thing is kinda out of place from some time. The main interest is kinda… don’t get me wrong, I loved her in the games and her design is my favourite, it’s just that the Author kinda does this thing? Where he hooks the MC and the FMC up kinda quick when they meet up? Take a look at his MHA story (My personal favourite from this author), they get hooked really quick and kinda unnaturally? Not as unnaturally as his Multiverse Cafe one with the Uchiha. Apart from romance, the other characters fit within their personalities that we know them from games/shows so not much complaints there.
World Background: 5/5
It’s Pokemon, ‘nuff said.
