Poké Wars/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Author's Saving Throw - Readers of the The Subsistence were baffled by Dawn's sudden prowess with guns with most complaining that it was an Ass Pull. Then Cornova wrote The Incipience and did some minor rewriting which better explained Dawn's sudden gain of Improbable Aiming Skills
  • Complete Monster - Ho-oh is extremely sadistic, has no compunctions about killing Pokemon holding opposite views or completely destroying large swaths of land.
  • Crowning Moment Of Awesome - MANY!
  • Crowning Moment Of Funny - Has its own page.
  • Expy - I305 "Lairon" Mobile Infantry Self-Contained Pressurized Environmental Combat Survival Exoskeleton from Poké Wars: The Divergence seem suspiciously similar to the MJOLNIR suits that Master Chief wears.
  • Holy Shit Quotient - Extreme. Many of the fight scenes are absolutely dazzling.
    • Pikachu's unrestrained fight against AJ's Sandslash is one of the series' most devastating one-on-one confrontations between non-Legendary Pokémon. It's enough to terrify a whole tribe of wild Pikachu into polite diplomacy.
  • Nausea Fuel - the graphic descriptions of undampened Pokémon attacks are quite sickening.
  • Nightmare Fuel - Has its own page
  • What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids? - these pieces of work are very violent and bloody. As is expected of a war story.
