Someone's a fan of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and there are few movies I can think of that would be more entertaining Pokemonified. (it's a word now!)
I was both impressed and disapointed when I read that there would be no Gym quest. You had such a fun knack for creating the leaders, but it looks like we have a similar treasure hunt in the works.
It probably takes more time and work then I realise to make a full Gym quest anyway.
At first glance, some of the names and situations are corny, but that was, and still is, the spirit of the anime. It's actually quite a balance between a tense, relatable real world, and the show world we're so familiar with.
I've never been one to leap into Pokemon fics. (I actually started reading Pokemoneese because I wanted to check out the story winning all the awards) but I can honestly say I'm hooked after Chapter One. Take your time, we all were patient for the first one, and this will probably be just as worth the wait.
