I... really hope you return.

Hi. This, by now, is probably going to be a dead series, and you probably won’t read this, but I just wanted to say this was an absolute ride. Weavile is my favorite Pokemon, and in TPI I really didn’t like he. Now she’s my favorite character, along with Bronzong and Gengar. It really sucks that this series is done, because me along with others enjoyed this. I won’t ask questions because I’d rather be unspoiled than know in this scenario. I did make a list of predictions for the end of season elimination chart, so I’ll post that here. Other than that, thanks for an amazing read, and I loved speculating everything with mister b. Hope you’re doing well, and peace out. Spoiler Alert! (Showing all remaining contestants)

Welp.
Finally logged in and came back to this.
Don't know if you read reviews still considering the account hasn't visibly moved in 3 years, but in case you do end up reading this: Thanks for writing all of this. It's great. I can't say what others have said better than they can, but... yeah.

Hey there. I used to read your entire Total Pokemon series and Unova Mansion so long ago, and I kept reading until your last update. The characters you created were so fun and captivating and the world-building was remarkable. I always looked forward for the next chapter.
My favourites were Banette, Bronzong and Cacturne, heh.

I hope you're doing well, DA. And I hope that whatever adversity comes in your way, you'll be able to overcome it like the characters in your stories. Take care and thank you for this wonderful series.

So, I suddenly remembered your Total Pokemon series existed and I remembered all the fond memories I had of reading it, so I decided to reread everything from the beginning, and whoa, what a journey. You definitely grew as a writer. You went from keeping Clefairy in the top 5 because you needed a girl so you didn't look sexist to creating wonderful and memorable female characters such as Honchkrow, Medicham, and Luxray. You handled character growth extremely well, having some learn the value of friendship and caring for others, like Weavile, Bronzong, and Alakazam. You balanced drama so it never became too overwhelming, but kept the conflicts reasonable and natural so everyone could work as unique individuals while still being real conflicts. I really respect you. I know you haven't been around this account in a while, and I don't expect you to return, but I want to say how grateful I am for writing this story. It inspires me a lot.

If you still take time to read your reviews, may I ask a few questions? I'll do the old style of three questions.
1) Who was Mr B? I know you probably get this a lot, but I am quite curious. So much so that in case you don't reply, I took time to take notes on everything Mr B did to sleuth it out myself. In order of most to least likely, I can't decide between Mega Alakazam, Bisharp, and perhaps Krookodile if I had to choose a third? But they all have flaws. Mega Al was highly likely up until Alakazam went home. After all, Mega Al could put regular Al into a sort of sleeper agent state to analyze the situation and construct the next Mr B move and enact it. Even if Alakazam didn't Mega again, even if he was just temporarily reprogrammed to do the Mr B tasks, he could do things like peek in people's heads to find out what they voted. He had reason to put everyone Mr B did on the chopping block. The Mr B title could be a way to set his normal self on some of Mega Al's top threats, Bisharp, Bronzong, and Banette. The only problem is that Alakazam went home in this last chapter, yet I have a feeling you weren't done with Mr B. Perhaps you had a copycat Mr B in the plans, but if the same normal Mr B messages went on, Mega Alakazam wasn't him and I would say it's Bisharp. It's very much his style. The only flaw with Bisharp is that he would have to avoid Medicham always watching him like a hawk, he would need to know how Banette disobeyed Mr B and how to hurt him with the Tyrunt destruction, and as a writer it would be easy to test his handwriting. Not impossible, and Mr B's targets line up with Bisharp's agenda. If not Bisharp, then Krookodile I suppose? It's really not his style or agenda, but there's not much reason for it to be anyone else either.
2) Speaking of Bisharp, I must know, what were your plans for him and Medicham? After the dinner date I couldn't help but ship them. I'm a sucker for Bisharp being totally unable to handle his lovestruck heart, and Medicham desperately trying to help him embrace it. Their relationship to me looks like a culmination of your best characters. It's a bit of Cacturne and Gardevoir, a pinch of Bronzong, reminds me of a less healthy Kabutops and Scizor too. Even if they don't end up dating, that's fine, but I do want to know what exactly happened to Bisharp and Medicham in their pasts. Their life stories very much interest me.
3) Finally I ask that if you get back to me, please don't think I'm a dumb kid. We last messaged each other about this series when I was a dumb kid, so I bet I said dumb kid things.

I'll be rereading Unova Mansion next, that one was also a favorite of mine from you. I'm excited to reread it with somewhat fresh eyes while still knowing who done it.

Also, I hope you don't mind, but since you've inspired me so much, I think it would be good practice for my own writing skills for me to attempt my own Total Pokemon style game show. I don't typically post to this site anymore, so if you're ever curious, I use the same account name on AO3. I'm going to happily credit you in the description of my fic for the inspiration. Again, thanks for writing this trilogy. It's been super fun and I hope you're still writing great things. Thanks for leaving us off with Bronzong, Alakazam, and even Bisharp realizing they have friends. Your characters are very special to me, not just them of course, but thanks for leaving off with a good amount of closure.

Boy, I hope this site lets me post this monster of a review.

Hey man, I just wanted to let you know whatan awesome story this has been, and the other TPI series have been also. I'm pretty sad we won't get to see this probably ever agin, but I'm glad I was here for the ride. The only thing though is I wish you could tell us who mister b is and who wins the entire dang thin. Otherwises this has been an amazing story. I hope your life goes smooth from now on.
Best of wishes
Just a fan

So...I know this sucks guys, but we should just sort of accept now that TPR is dead. The author warned us of this very thing being a possibility at the very beginning of the story, and now we should at least acknowledge that he's either too busy with life to write this, or outgrew fanfiction as a whole.

Regardless, I appreciate how much this series did for the community as a whole. While I really don't think the first installment holds up well at all, TPWT and TPR remain some of the best TPIs in this community years later, and without them I doubt this crossover community would be as big as it is. Like seriously, there's a TPI Discord that has been going for 2-years now, and without this...That wouldn't be a thing. I wouldn't have met some of my closest friends in years, so I have a lot to thank this for.

But yeah, this was a fun ride. I never really did get around the reviewing this series...SO I may actually do that at some point. Just go through every chapter of this series as a whole and leave little reviews. Seems like something that'd either be seen as supportive or incredibly annoying...I'm gonna strive for both.

If I'm wrong and this comes back, then I'll officially begin supporting this as much as I can, but if this is the end...Thanks for everything, Dark Amphithere. You impacted mine, and a whole server full of people's lives for the better, whether you know it or not.

miss this shit... I know it's really unlikely (it's been like 4 years since this fic began) but it would be pretty cool if you could get a new one out soon enough, or at least release a short summary on the rest of the series/who wins since I appreciate you don't have much time on your hands

I know that it's not Summer Break yet, but when it does, please write more chapters! I enjoy reading your work.
No pressure! Just thousands of people waiting.

Oh my god, chapter 14 is my favourite. The whole megalomaniac and all, It is flipping hilarious

One of the few great stories out there, I can't even lie. Hope you get back here and update soon.

2019 and I'm waiting for a new episode

I still like Bisharp. ;3

when do you think you'll be able to update?

It's Great.
