I must say I didn't see that one coming. After reading Ashley's story it sure was a fun tale, I must say it really is an ego boost to see that I have inspired such a story 
Now I have to also apologise for the long absence, just to let you guys know I have had some job issues and it turns out that the added stress really makes it hard on the old creative reserves, so I haven't been able to write, but this story has inspired me in a way.
So I was thinking of doing something for a little while now once I got more time, how about a revamped Pokémon gotta strip em' all! story more focused on ENF and battling! You see I found the main issue beforehand was that I was a bit aimless with my writing but now I will focus more on sticking to classic Pokémon stylings.
Nathaniel, I must also say that I enjoyed the artwork and your writing style. It was a lot of fun! |
Thank you for the kind words. And I'm glad you're considering getting back to Pokemon. As I think I said in the original thread, I think it just got a little too confusing in the end. You would benefit from just picking a simple storyline and running with it.
The artwork was actually taken from various artists around the net. I did make some changes to them, though. The only completely original artwork was the front cover. You'll notice more of my changes in the later chapters. Ashley does change outfits in the last few stories of this series. I had to make some quite significant changes to artwork I found, and I'm quite happy with the results. I pretty much managed to get the outfits I used in the stories spot on.
My current plan for this is to have the basic gyms completed. I'll probably go onto the Elite Four after that, which I likely won't start until all these stories are released. I have looked at gym leaders and Elite Four members I could potentially use. There are some fairly obvious candidates. At the moment, I can go with Lorelei as an existing member of the Elite Four. I could also throw in Claire as a replacement for Lance as the dragon specialist. Malva could be a fire outfit. And then I have Gardenia as she has quite a sexy outfit. Not sure who I'd throw in as the champion, though, as that has to be someone special. To the best of my knowledge the champions have all been males, so it might be more difficult to come up with someone. I might even do a Pokemon Silver and bring in some sort of female player character instead as a final boss.
After that, assuming I do continue with Pokemon, I could revisit the journey already done and come up with some stories based on the episodes of the anime throughout Kanto.
