Talk:Pokémon Cursed Diamond/@comment-26480939-20160823234854

This is kind of sub-par and hits a lot of creepypasta/Poképasta clichés (zombified/altered character sprites, blood, murders, and other assorted unpleasantness, overleveled Pokémon, nonstandard Game Overs, breaking the fourth wall, non-existent/glitchy moves, Pokémon from later games showing up in games they couldn't possibly be in, etc.) but I do like it. I did sprites of several of the 'zombified' Pokémon mentioned in this pasta, namely, Arceus and Kyurem.

And then there's some things I need to nitpick about.

1. Why would Arceus, the creator and god of the Pokéverse, be afraid of a lowly Infernape? It's PokéGod, for crying out loud! If anything, Infernape should have been the one frightened by Arceus.

2. What's with all the mentions of other Poképastas and creepypastas? I mean, it's fine to reference something, but it's another to say that something is identical to something in a 'pasta. It ruins the immersion for me, at least.

3. Some minor misspellings of 'Kyurem' and other miscellaneous words. It's spelled Kyurem, not Kyrem.

4. Apparently, some influence from Sonicpasta got in here, namely 'Sonic.EXE'. And how 'convenient' that the brother ended up having 'Sonic Classic Collection' when the sister ended up getting a Darker and Edgier hacked Diamond Version.

5. I'm pretty sure that the DP MissingNo. isn't the same one as the RGBY MissingNo. The way that this is written, it seems like the author just transplanted RGBY MissingNo. into Diamond as-is, not changing anything to account for gameplay improvements that have been made since Gen I.

6. There seems to be an awful lot of PokéSpe references in here. Nothing wrong with that, mind you. But perhaps some explanation for folks who don't follow the manga would be nice. (I myself have only read parts of PokéSpe Gen 1, and hardly know anything about any installments past that. I know of the protagonists' names, and some other random stuff, but that's all.)

That being said, this is somewhat enjoyable to read. It's kinda the Poképasta equivalent of a car crash: bad, but you can't look away.
