Kat's vids (now with rivals!)

I talked about how my first Paldean shiny KOd itself in my intro thread and then I remembered, "Oh, yeah, I have a video of that." So, yeah, here it is for everyone's amusement:

My regular channel is tiny and consists almost solely of me reading my fanfic and trying to match footage to it. But if anyone wants to sample the first part, it's right here:

Pokémon Glitches are Now Canon (Penny Saves Paldea #1)

I'm an author/fangirl who wanted a world where the characters of Paldea notice when bike lizards vanish or sandwiches take you to space.So I wrote it. This i...

Really excited to see the other channels here and looking forward to giving them a try.

I like your energy in this, omg!! That must have been HEARTBREAKING as well god... I hope you saved before you found it!!

As a whole... I also think that reading self-written fics is a really interesting idea, honestly! Not too sure why, but your voice somehow strikes me as a streamer-type voice LOL. Excited to see more YouTube shorts from you sometime maybe...?

Aww, thank you! I've always just called it my "teacher voice." (I'm a sub in my day job.) But streamer voice sounds way cooler, so I'm gonna say that from now on. ^_^

I'm not sure if saving right before would have done any good or not, but no, the last point I saved was before entering Zero Gate (this was in the middle of The Way Home on a 2nd playthrough.) So sadly it was well and truly gone. But I also had a point in Arceus where Braviary spooked a shiny Chartot and it bolted as I landed. So I approach wild shinies with extreme skepticism that I'll get to keep them.

I definitely plan to do more shorts in the future. My fanfic videos always open with showing 2-3 glitches from S/V I'm going to incorporate into that particular chapter. Not all of them are shorts worthy; some are just pointing out logic fails more than technical bugs, but there's a few fun ones that could stand on their own, I think.

Just uploaded a little 3-minute FAQ video for my fanfic series:


I'll be cutting it into 2 or 3 shorts later on, but it seemed like a good starting point for anyone who's curious about the story. (Or at least curious about what age I think the characters are.)

 

[KatrinaSForest]

Two new shorts. The first is about one of my favorite glitches (and also a good sample of how my glitch explanations go). The second is me on my soapbox a little bit over the ending of Starfall Street. S/V spoiler warnings on that second one:

This S/V glitch has STORY potential!

Team Star's Reunion Was a TERRIBLE Idea

Here's me trying to write it better: https://youtu.be/t7phq5H-YwUBut, seriously, Clavell needs to stop trying to "help" his students. He's bad at it.

So...I just posted my first review video (eek!) I wanted to explore if Victory Road has a story arc like the other two paths in Scarlet and Violet:

Just posted my story-centric (and spoiler-free!) review of The Teal Mask:

I really wanted to look at the DLC from a writer's perspective, since that's where my area of expertise is. Anyway, hope you guys enjoy!

Been a while since I updated this thread, but now that Penny has been confirmed as Rose's niece, I thought it would be fun to do a playthrough/rewrite of Sword/Shield with Penny isekai'd into the role of Galarian protagonist. I read the canon dialogue, but I also embellish the story via Penny's inner thoughts and some added mysterious phone calls:

 

[KatrinaSForest]

Been having a lot of fun with this Sword/Shield series, so, yeah, here's the latest one:


I feel like Allister and Penny would really get along.

 

[KatrinaSForest]

New video in my Sw/Sh series...in this one, Rose is responsible for destroying the Stow-on-Side mural & tries to get Bede to take the fall for him:

 

[KatrinaSForest]

Okay, Penny doesn't go to Freezington, exactly. More like her dad brings Freezington to Circhester. This was a fun but also sentimental one for me, with Peony kinda facing the fact that he can't protect his kids from everything:

 

[KatrinaSForest]

So, I wanted to do a video about Kieran and ended up making a full video about the history of the Pokémon rivals. I think the lead-up to his creation helps put his story (and what the writers were trying to do with it) in much better context. Anyway, hope it entertains you as you try to fight off sleep this New Year's Eve:


Happy 2025!
