pokemon story - t_rat3381 - 10-24-2018
I will be posting the story here for all to read and make comments. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13102098/1/Pokemon-Uni
RE: pokemon story - Polaris - 10-24-2018
I think it's an interesting idea. I read through it, and from what I see here I think I'd read the rest when you post it. I will say it needs some polish, but that's true of every manuscript.
One thing I'm going to comment on here is dialogue rules. Typically you should start a new paragraph whenever someone different starts speaking, and dialogue goes in quotation marks. When it's inside a sentence, you end it with a comma and put a comma before it (unless the dialogue ends the sentence). For example, a paragraph from your story:
One said, "Ok we get the school and the screening going then what?"
She said, "That is simple. After we control this world we work on controlling the whole universe. Then work toward the multiverse. We will still need the best and strongest pokemon and the best trainers."
One said, "How about that for the name team Uni as the schools are university and we are after the Universe?" There were nods all around.
One stood and said, "Wait. Most of us in this room are known to the jennies and the government, won't they see the plan and stop us?"
She said, "Good point. This is why it will work we just convince them that we have learned the error of our ways and what their help in preventing any other groups from starting. We put a good enough act on they will not only help us but hand us everything we want. Yes, there are details that need worked out as each of us have different goals. But overall, we all want the power to control the world. It is the how that is the big differences between all of us in this room." There were mumbled agreements on that.
If you want, I can beta read for you and help you out with spelling, grammar, flow, etc. Just let me know and I'll get in touch with you on Fanfiction and give your first chapter an editing pass.

It's a bit hard and difficult for me to read without it being made clear who speaks when, so I'd appreciate the usage of the dialoge rules Polaris already mentioned. It'll add more flow to the story. Once that's done, I'd be happy to reread your story.
And, ehm, something must have gone wrong with Chapter 4 as the writing is completely messed up and impossible to properly read. o.o;

Could you fix that please?
RE: pokemon story - t_rat3381 - 10-25-2018
I think I have fixed it now
RE: pokemon story - PhantomUnderYourDesk - 10-25-2018
Unfortunately nothing has changed for me about the unreadable text of Chapter 4.
Downloading your story for offline-reading doesn't fix a thing, I'm really not sure what went wrong there... Maybe a copy-paste error? If it indeed takes a little before changes are made public, I'll simply wait until tomorrow now; then we'll see.

Still has all that HTML in it. I would try reuploading it.
RE: pokemon story - t_rat3381 - 10-26-2018
I did 10 hours ago and I have since emailed them about the issue
RE: pokemon story - PhantomUnderYourDesk - 10-28-2018
Following the link to your story now reveals an error message stating 'Story Not Found. Unable to locate story. Code 1', meaning it has been deleted all together. Pity! Are there any plans to reupload it?
