Rei's Profile

Hey, I'm Rei! I also go by Lail and Burns, whichever you want to call me! I'm a female in college, and I'm studying to become a genetic engineer. I love animals, and my family has always helped out with rescues and such, and we have a fair amount of pets of our own. We have a slightly ludicrous amount of cats, and some wonderful dogs, all of them rescues. I also love reading and writing, particularly the Fantasy and Science Fiction genres. I can't even begin to list all of my favorite books, and going by author doesn't make the list that much shorter, unfortunately! If you want to discuss books, feel free to message me! I love talking about books! <3 My third love is art, in many variations. I love drawing, painting, carving, working with clay, jewelry, and hodge-podge eclectic things. [I swear I'm gonna use those glass bottles for something, mom, don't throw them away!] I love nature, but by nature, I mean northern nature. I live in Florida, which is freakishly hot and humid and disgusting and I hate going outside, but I absolutely adore mountainous areas and snow. After I finish college, I'll probably move north somewhere. And of course, I love pokémon! It's really hard to pick a favorite, but Ponyta/Rapidash, Houndour/Houndoom, Articuno, and Rayquaza are some of them. My favorite region/generation is Hoenn, though I started my Pokémon adventure with Red Version and a Gameboy. I use and love a lot of Fire-type pokémon, though I prefer the Ice and Dragon types because I love the cold and dragons are awesome. I prefer battling over contests, and I'm currently working on completing my Pokédex or doing Nuzlockes on most of my games. I'm hoping to complete my first Nuzlocke soon, and write a story about it, so you might see it up here someday! ^^~

Here's my PokéFarm journal, Rei's Record [insert notable entries here, such as shiny hunts or something]

Realistic Pokémon Stories The Sun Soul. This is one of the greatest realistic pokémon fics I've read, but it's also really long, at almost 350k words, and violent to boot. Still a really great read that helps set the tone of how realistic pokémon stories should be. Anything by Cornova is really good! They have a series going on, covering all the different regions. It goes with anime canon, with the pokémon normal at first, and then becoming realistically dangerous. It's really interesting and still on-going, and I really love the universe they set it in. The Game of Champions is still incomplete, and the author takes a really long time to update, but this is one of my absolute favorites, though many others rank up there with this. One of the later chapters has Snorlax described as a natural disaster, with one waking up being the reason for why you can't get into Saffron City at first in the games. Pedestal is another very lengthy story, but then again, nearly all of them are. It's really good, as well, and the author has a sort of sequel set in the same universe called Ree Major's Wonderful Journey. Pedestal really takes a hard look at morality and a lot of the crazy that would plague trainers in a realistic pokémon situation. Then there's Everybody Dies, a realistic pokémon Nuzlocke. It's very good, but it's also very depressing. I'll admit that I cried at the end. An amazing read, but extremely sad. Last is Symbiosis, which has Ash raised by Pokémon as the protagonist. Being able to speak both the Pokémon and human language has it's benefits, but it also has some extreme downsides, which are explored in Symbiosis.

Realistic Pokémon Stories 2 Impulse is a pokémon Nuzlocke set in the Sinnoh region, and it's still on-going, with semi-regular updates. It's well-written, and the author makes travelling through the region very interesting. And with a protagonist that's afraid of pokémon, there are heaps of issues to work through. Next is Pokémon 0, which is set in the Johto region and follows a kid who, after failing school, is forced to become a trainer. Unfortunately, run-ins with Team Rocket and other problems arise throughout his journey. There are many, many more, so if you'd like to hear about them, or if you have some recommendations of your own, feel free to message me so we can talk about it! <3
