    Well, I always see pokémon fanfics in 2-D, just like the animé. I imagine The Quest for the Legends like a pokémon movie, complete with the camera perspectives and everything...

    2-D but with really realistic coloring, like computer coloring. But still outlined like a cartoon. They also look like my style of drawing.

    I couldn't honestly say, actually. I mean, I've imagined my fic (one chapter in length so far...) in both 2-D and 3-D...and other, non pokemon fics I tend to envision in 3-D. But then, I also tend to draw main characters, etc., so that can change.

    Mostly in 2-D anime style, sometimes in 3-D Gamecube graphics, or like real life. O_o

    At the start of Lisa the Legend, I always saw things in 2D (anime), but once Gavin came into the story, everything kind of moulded into real life and has been liek that ever since. The only conflict I get is when Aipom comes running into a scene ...
    ...Quest for the Truth of the Legend ...

    I saw things in 2-D whenever I read a fanfic. Sometimes the characters may be drawn a little differently than in their game or anime series. For instance, for mine the human characters are shown in Capcom-style art (yes, even those like Ash Ketchem.) The Pok&eacute;mon are still kept in their cute forms, but with some changes.

    Well, in Pokemon fanfics the Pokemon we see are from the game/anime/pictures, so i'd say FRTC was in 2d, really. Pokemon in 3d look ghay and blocky >_>

    Monica's Army...well, the peeps in it were based off real people, sort of, so I imagined this band of VERY strange warriors (beause of their origins in the real world) in 3d, as well as some cities being inspired from cities or towns ive visited abroad.

    I think TOTALLY in 3-d when writing my trainer fics. I imagine the battles as if they were taking place in real life, and it has made for some really interesting battle strategies.

    For The Adventure of Firewood Kethcup, though, I did think in 2-d anime-style.. which is to be expected, since it's directly making fun of the Pokémon anime.

    We are half-hearted creatures,
    Fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us,

    Like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum
    Because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea.

    We are far too easily pleased.

    I picture them as anime-style 2-d. All of them, not just trainer fics... heck, even fanfic based on live action movies.

    I see almost all of the characters in anime style. But some of the scenery and the main character is in real-life, so it ends up looking like something from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

    Well, since all of my fics have been drawn out at one time or another, I see them in 2D.

    In my fics (all of which are Pokemon-based), I usually see my characters in 2d, though I can see them turn, and sometimes they are 3d. However, the scenery is always 3d and VERY realistic, at least in my head. This leads to some very interesting descriptions that I had to think of real people to create. But hey, it works!

    Hey, Tara! Don't call me obsessed!

    I picture them in 3D, and I sometimes imagine other sensory input other than sound and images. I try to imagine what being there feels like.

    I imagine any story that I am creating in 3-D... In my mind it is almost like the story is totally happening in real life...
