Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
I think you misunderstood me somewhere. I did not take it as "telling me off", nor did I defend it on the basis that it's "just a story"; I was mainly pointing out that while you said the box was very different "for you" from the way it is "for me", it isn't really like this "for me", because I might just as well write another fic tomorrow where it works completely differently.
Not that I really see how this kind of box is inherently inhumane when you aren't leaving the Pokémon on there for years. They don't have a real sense of time in there, so they'd just experience it kind of like going to sleep and then waking up a bit later. There's no reason that should automatically have some ill effects on the mind or body, unless you were to specifically decide to add this to the interpretation.
Hum, I didn't mean to sound like I was telling you off for having a box system like that. It is just crushing to think that pokemon would be treated so inhumanely with scarce a thought to it.
What would suspended animation do to a psyche and body, and could this technology be developed to dispose of troublesome humans.
Yes I know it's 'just a story'. :/
Great, great story. You really get the emotions across. I felt a bit sad reading it - it was that kind of story.
I wish the trainer wouldn't be so indecisive and just accept that her Butterfree is happy again, but I guess I'd feel different if I was that trainer. Oh well. Anyway, great work Butterfree =D
So what's with this weird sprite for Wormadam in the sprite generator? (It's the HGSS shiny sprite.) Is it some sort of funky beta sprite or what? Also, that for of Wormadam is missing the second animation frame for both normal and shiny.
Lol, "Meatshields"!
XD
I remember using Butterfree against Brock so many times, having played and restarted Yellow a lot. He always ended up in the box, though.
Of course, the first time I played through and beat Yellow, I used a Pidgey, who ended up being level 100 by the time I was finished with the game. I feel bad now, about the rest of my team, who ended up just being low-leveled meatshields and HM slaves. ._.
All-in-all, great story, Butterfree. <3
I really liked the story too. It was almost making me cry… I liked the whole way it was written and it related to me as well. All too many times I've done the exact same thing and said to myself I'd train whatever Pokémon and never end up doing it and when I do, it makes me feel bad that I put it off so long. Well done, Butterfree. :)
Eh… Been a while since I been here. Can't remember what I called myself before, was it Star, or DolphinGirl, or what? D::
Anyyyways… Loved the new fanfic. Twas amazing. Great update on the fake pokemon guide. Really haven't been here in a while…
Hey guys remember me? :u
@Butterfree and Hikaru, I'm quite scared that the forum is going to crash, so I'm trying to find some kind of document..storing thingy. I may try Yarny.
This is exactly how I feel when I use a Pokemon for a few battles, and then just dump it in the box.
You, madam, are a genius. The piece works so well, it's beautifully written, and just…wow. </worship>
Richie: Have you tried Yarny!
That's never a good idea. If you don't trust your computer, use an online document manager, like Google Docs, where you can edit it anytime and on your own time without any fear of losing it. The forum database has already been completely wiped once; as it is, if that happened again, you'd have lost the only copy of your fanfic, which would just royally suck.
I can't trust my computer to save things like that. I've found it's better to spend a day typing it up.
…why don't you have your fanfic in a file on your computer?
The forum's server has been busy for three hours.
*slams face against keyboard repeatdely*
I'm trying to work on my fanific, gorammit.
It amuses me to remember that I had both Beedrill and Ledian on my silver version on my team. It honestly did not register in my mind that they were significantly weaker than my other pokemon. This story makes me wonder if, had I known more about how base stats worked, I would have dropped the two bug types from my team. In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't give up on them, but I know I would never do such a thing today. Poor bugs :(
One would have to be very naïve to take an anonymous guestbook declaration that somebody committed suicide at face value. In the unlikely case you're not a troll, do something to establish your credibility before making a claim like that.
Nidokingu committed suicide..
I've been trying to keep up with your updates, so imagine my joy when I saw the story! Really wonderful, it kinda makes me feel bad about those first few Pokémon I catch just to have more than my starter on my team at the very beginning. :( I'm going to favorite the page it's on, so I can keep coming back to read it. :D
