Link to Post: Daycare Disaster
Nominating: Pixel

Reason: This is just such a funny read. Pixel does a really good job at both being able to describe a serious moment through the eyes of the character, and add in light hearted quips that will still get you to chuckle despite the real struggle that Adrian is currently facing.

Incentive: It's raining coins, hallelujah it's raining coins! (+30) - SELF-UPDATED (4664 > 4694)

[Pixel]

Link to Post: zapdoszulu.proboards.com/post/303821
Nominating: Caramell 🍬

Reason: (I'm a sadist who enjoys watching Zaiden suffer I mean——) The complex emotional state of Zaiden is well captured here as the poor guy breaks down after an unexpected setback. You can feel his hurt and pain. It's some good quality angst right here.

Link to Post: New "Bark" Town (mod post)

Link to Post: zapdoszulu.proboards.com/post/303640
Nominating: tybaxel

Reason: I like how they bring out their Pokemon's personality, especially in this post with the Bulbasaur and Poocheyena, excited to work as a team. I really like all of their posts in this thread, but this one especially, with how Sloan tries to help out the defeated Pidgey.

Link to Post: Lightning DOES Strike the Same Place Twice

Link to Post: O'er the Roadless Path
Nominating: Jenesis

Reason: I seriously love reading Kuroinu's little attitude. The fact that she immediately takes to the whole 'I'm the leader! Fear me!' bit is honestly hilarious!

---

Incentive: Coins (+30, self updating) | Coins: 4158 > 4188

[Jenesis]

Link to Post: Build Me Up Buttercup
Nominating: ❤ Aphrodite ❤

Reason: Essence's rude attitude comes across loud and clear, with the way she's insulting everyone from the old sages to her own Pokemon companion! Aphrodite is doing a great job demonstrating her unique voice here.

---

Incentive: Coins!

Link to Post: Build Me Up Buttercup (mod post)
Nominating: vartio

Reason: And the immediately following post gave me a great laugh. I don't know if these are a reference to a certain monk-themed duo of Yugioh villains, but what a great way to go above and beyond to inject some personality into a pair of relatively minor NPCs!

Incentive: Coins!

done, 30+20=>7385->7435 -Tarlar

[Venominon]

Link to Post: zapdoszulu.proboards.com/post/304684/thread
Nominating: vartio


Reason: This whole scenario he came up with for Venom, starting from this post, has been just brilliant. He did a great job utilizing the scenario set up by the mods who went before him in this thread in a very unique way, and he even kept me guessing by including a nice little brain teaser in there too. Vartio really is a master of his craft, and I feel very privileged to be gaining this whole experience under my belt. I feel like it'll go a long way towards making Venom a better trainer and making me a better role player.

Link to Post: Out of My Shell
Nominating: amphy

Reason: Following Ellie's journey as she starts out really gets you into the feelings that Ellie is feeling. From anxiety/fear all the way to jubilation. This post really exemplifies what that feeling of catching your first Pokemon - for the first time - after a tough battle is like. <3
