Um, hating people because they default to a male pronoun when there is no way to know the gender of the person is a bit extreme, don't you think? No need to be so offended.



The thing about sex is that if you don't know about it already, most non-explicit discussion of it is simply going to fly right over your head. I know this from personal experience. Something possessed me to start reading Brave New World when I was nine; that book is full of sex, but when I reread it years later I could have sworn it simply was not there when I first read it, because while I remembered the story of what went on decently I did not remember a word of that. The reason? I didn't understand it, and thus it just went in one ear and out the other, so to speak.



Similarly, many G or PG-rated movies vaguely imply the existence of sex, but it's okay because you're not going to get it unless you know there is something to get; it's perfectly safe as long as nothing is actually shown or graphically discussed.



What I actually say in the conspiracy theory is extremely innocent - it's just that babies come from somewhere that's not the stork. The bit about the Do Not Disturb sign can get a chuckle out of people who know what I mean, but if they do there's no real harm in it, and if you don't know what I mean, you're just not going to get it and will shrug it off instead.



The In-Game Humour section has a special PG-13 warning at the top, so I think I can permit myself to be ever so slightly more suggestive there. Nonetheless, that section is still not explicit in any way. If kids are here ignoring warnings, they have far greater problems to deal with than the In-Game Humour, what with Morphic and The Fall of a Leader.

I don't know if I have the brain capacity to memorise all of the pokedex numbers but I'm sure it'll be fine.

Thank you so much for this, I guess I did just get really unlucky with Regirock.

Any backup musical ideas in case the Pokémon Company sues you?

If I could get away with it, it would be Morphic: the Musical :P

Butterfree, if you wrote a Broadway musical yourself, what would it be about?

Amazing. The funny thing is I was actually at a theme park yesterday (Tokyo DisneySea).

Happy

I had a dream that a "TCOD theme park" went viral. This still not existing or anything, but u started doing a bit where youd write about a TCOD theme park in an update. Youd be like, had this crazy customer experience today at the TCOD theme park, & then youd specify its location which was just on the cusp of being in a realistic major city but at a more out of the way address. So these so called customer stories started going a bit viral, but of course the inevitable followup question people started asking is "What's the TCOD theme park?" And youd just be like yeah come by the TCOD theme park its at ABCDE. And then the end of the dream was me taking the bus past that street & hearing other passengers say "Isn't the TCOD theme park supposed to be here?" LOL
I absolutely notice the redundancy in this proposed nomenclature roflll.
… And then I had one of those recursive dreams where I came to the site to tell u this, but your years' april fools prank was to change it to one of those pkmn news blogs back in the day that wanted to be serebii or kotaku & it had a personalityless white layout (NOT TO GIVE YOU ANY IDEAS). And you had labelled these posts with like a bunch of pretend new site staff also. And I was like alright let me just get past the april fools update to the guestbook.. but then you were impossibly rarely slow taking down the update, so I was like… Isnt it past april fools day now….. & it was like the 4th. & I started to get concerned about the permanence of this update ROFL.
So that's my incredible quantity of post-late night dennys haze TCOD dreams. 😂 (I don't even live in the americas… My country is like a complete regional isolate with like a leaderboard quantity of dennys branches.)

Not exactly; just get familiar with the route, do a few trees together like suggested in the guide to avoid flying between every pair of trees, and as you do it you'll get quicker at it.

Oof… that is going to take a while, any recommendation to make it fast ?

Apologies, my younger brother snuck onto my computer and wrote this. I do not have any interest in writing pokemon fanfictions and much prefer playing the official games.
My brother tends to do stuff like this, deleting save files for my pokemon games, and such.


Apologies,
RatonLeveur.

No, you'd need to slather or battle a Pokémon from a different tree first.

Thank you for the answer, now I wonder the best way to go about it, because its very time-consuming doing the route every day for 3 times, and having to repeat it to slather honey again is even more time-consuming, so I was thinking would a double slather solve the issue of getting a Pokémon from the same column ?

Unfortunately, I'm not particularly interested in writing that, and it wouldn't make any sense as an actual AU of this story (legendary morphs actually existing in this universe is right out, for one; legendaries are unicorn-level cryptids here that are not generally believed to exist, but if they did exist, how would there be Pokémorphs of them, when Pokémorphs exist only because of this one experiment carried out by a single group of scientists?).

But it sounds like you are interested and have a lot of specific ideas for what that story would involve, so I think you should go ahead and write it yourself! I would suggest you don't call it "Morphic: the flip side" because that could confuse people, but anyone can write about Pokémorphs if they want to; it's an entire genre of stories, not just this one. Many of the other existing Pokémorph fics out there are also less depressing and more action-packed and have romantic relationships, so if you look around you might find other fics you'd enjoy!
