Synopsis

This is not an episode, but rather as a technical explanation of this story just in case I get someone asking questions, or pointing out some inconsistencies to the games or anime (I never read any of the manga).

There are no plot spoilers in this. So you don't need to worry about that.

Now then, onto the technical bits.

To begin with, if anyone likes this story and wish for more chapters more often, sadly I cannot oblige. I wish I can accommodate, as I enjoy writing this story. The thing is, I suffer from one of the many forms of epilepsy, which means there are periods where my head doesn't work well enough to write more than a couple of sentences.

Now then, onto the story details.

I use Bulbapedia for the information in my story. From locations to move lists. As I am gathering my information from this great and wonderful website, I am not limiting myself to much like following the games or the anime universe. This means there will be crossovers between everything.

As in Chapter 4, a Ledyba has come into the picture. This is an extension to what I mentioned before. I am grabbing this off the Bulbapedia website. Route 2 also known as Viridian Forest links Viridian City with Pewter City. As I am not isolating myself to a single Generation per region, I will say this. As long as the Pokemon is listed on the webpage explaining the location, no matter what Generation it's from, I will use it. So I could be grabbing Pokemon from Gen1 or Gen4, or another Generation.

There is one thing that I will not be restricting myself with because I find it rather annoying and limiting. That is move lists. I will be sticking to what moves a Pokemon can learn, and they will be learning them without HM/TMs. In other words, they learn those moves through other means.

No, what I will truly not be limiting myself to is the total amount of moves a Pokemon and use at any given time. In other words, there will be no 4 move limits like in the games etc. I hate how you have to forget a move to learn another. Like a Hoothoot with Tackle, Growl, Foresight and Hypnosis, but choosing to utterly forget how to Tackle an opponent by learning Peck. To me, it's like forgetting how to run because they learned how to headbutt. This means, in this story, the Pokemon will know how to use and will be using more than 4 moves as they will never forget (unless suffering amnesia or something) how to do them. (I just wish the games didn't force you to make Pokemon forget moves. It would be better if you can pick which moves you have active and can switch between them like switching weapons and armour in other RPGs. Oh well.)

Well, I hope this covers the technical stuff, and that you will enjoy the story.

Thank you for allowing me to use up a moment of your time.
