4. Décoloré by @Coshiua - Coshiua's much newer project, only a dozen updates in. It seems more mystery-based, but the core of it follows Marian Stoll as she begins her own Pokemon journey in the Decolore Islands.

Please, explore the Decolore Island Region with us!

5. Orange Chapter by @Coshiua - 141 updates, 100k words. Follow Heather Pierpont on her Pokemon journey through the Orange Islands! A battle is about to begin, so join in! Coshiua recently made a new thread to keep things organized, and the new thread has 6 updates thus far.

The longest running Pokemon quest, I believe, and it just updated after a brief hiatus. Coshiua has done a fantastic job writing an adventure that thoroughly feels like a better version of the anime and games. Bildungsromans seem to be his thing. And Heather's entire team is adorable.

Original thread with the first 135 updates here: Pokemon Orange Version

This quest deserves more attention. Admittedly, there are a lot of updates to read through from the old thread. But I'm sure Coshiua would be happy to answer any questions. :)

*reads*
*starts to feel a little faint*
I -- I can't believe that I've written 100K. Wow...!

Thank you.

I'll be happy to answer any questions people might have!

4. Lillie's Z-Powered Adventure! (SM Post-Game Quest) by @Arkanian - 11 updates, started on 1/1. Lillie, of Sun & Moon fame, begins her journey in Kanto. This is not quite the Kanto we remember. A number of years have passed since Red took the region by storm, and life has moved on. Meanwhile, Lillie and her mother still retain some lingering problems from Sun & Moon.
- Slain approved. My favorite new Pokemon quest, due to quality of content, update rate, and progress. :)

Of course you complement my update pace on the day when I miss an update... Well, I'm definitely going to be getting it up today. I'm glad you like it so much, Slain!

Edit: I'll also probably use a version of your description for my sig, since the current summary is rather... barebones. I assume that's alright with you?

Sure! Though, mine could be more streamlined. So edit as necessary. :)

I was thinking:

Lillie begins her journey in Kanto... But it's not quite the Kanto you remember. A number of years have passed since Red took the region by storm, and life has moved on.

Or something like that. I'll think on it.

I was doing that anyway. Missing one update was bad enough; like hell I'm going to miss two in a row. That leads to bad habits, you know.

I see @Coshiua has grown up.

Yeah, for this fandom now, Coshiua is by far the most consistent long-term QM. ^_^

He does take breaks. The tricky bit that most of us can't do is that he comes back with renewed, consistent motivation. It might help that he switches things up every once in a while. For example, for Orange Chapter, there has pretty much been a different kind of arc/adventure for every island.

*Coshiua has evolved into an Adult Coshiua!*

I am still in awe of the sheer amount of work you put into your quests wdango-sempai. I just wish the updates weren't so stretched out.

Should pick that trick up. I've got a few ideas in mind for doing consistent and long-term.

Trying to go for daily updates but the latest update is troubling me. I have some inspiration from my readings, though.

    Thanks. :)

    Time to update this thread! If y'all have new recommendations or advertisements, post 'em!

    This thread's front page currently lists 13 active Pokemon quests. I'll double check that list sometime this week, based on thread activity. @Coshiua's quests are certainly active, but I'll have to check the others.


    3 New Quests:

    1. Pokemon Tribe: Into the (grim) Dark [WH40K Crossover] by @lordchaos99 - 2 updates, started on Jan 25, 2017.
    - Concept: A tribe of Pokemon has to survive in on a WH40K world. Not done with chargen yet. Dunno if discontinued. Ping me with a blurb to put up.

    2. Of Astora [Dark Souls/Pokemon] by @Pandemonious Ivy - 2 updates, started on Feb 2, 2017.
    - Concept: Gothic medieval bildungsroman? That's my assumption. Seems to have jumped straight into an opening fight with an undead suit of armor. Ping me with a blurb to put up.

    3. Pokemon Gijinka Randomizer Nuzlocke by @rkyeun - 6 updates, started on Feb 3, 2017.
    - Concept: This AU world has no trainers. The wilderness is filled with dangerous Pokemon. Gijinka--surgical human-Pokemon hybrids--defend the pockets of civilization. We play as a new Mantyke gijinka, enlisted into the military. (I admit I was a bit leery at first. Before this, I had most commonly heard about gijinka as something sketchy. Apparently it just means "anthropomorphism"?)

    Some of you may know rkyeun as the QM of the delightful Pokemon Nephri quest. The first arc is already moving along at a good pace. (And already has fanart. *jealous*)


    1 Revived Quest:

    On a separate note, @Iceblocks has revived Pokemon: The Pretender (N Mode Kanto Quest)! I'm pretty happy to see this.

    Play as Cyan, a new trainer with the ability to call wild Pokemon to form temporary teams. This is a favorite quest of mine. 122 updates, 75k words. It's quite a fun quest, and the team recruitment mechanics keeps the gameplay quite fresh. Basically, a new team has to be called up wherever we go. Also, the gyms are legitimately challenging and the aura guardians are utter dicks. Even if this gets discontinued, thanks for a great run, Iceblocks. :)

    Participation is low, though. IMO it's due to a combination of factors: very long thread to catch-up on for newcomers, small player pool, and usual difficulties of getting player participation after a hiatus.

    • I'll recommend Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Silver Resistance. It's never boring, and the writer loves making crazy twists that mess with your emotions. The characters have histories that affect the story in ways you may not expect, as well as distinct personalities (and plenty of heel face turns). It's ongoing but well worth reading.
     
    Has anyone tried writing a Pokemon/Mass Effect yet?

    Reapers Vs Pokemon. Pokemon Wins!! Why? Arceus is why.

    Is this a thread anyone can post fanfic ideas?

    Yup, what Vinylshadow said! I don't know anything about Mass Effect, though. Probably others do?


    Speaking of ideas, I've been tinkering and tinkering with a Pokemon quest idea. ...And I just realized that a month has already gone by. I'll plan to start it within the next 24 hours. :)
