I'm thinking of writing a Kanto journey fanfic based on Pokémon Yellow, and I'm torn between using Red or Blue (or Green) as the protagonist. I like both options equally, Red for its iconic status and Blue because I want a female protagonist.

I'd like to know what you think of each option, and to be clear, if one is chosen, the other will not exist.

Before I begin, I want to say that first, I'm using a translator to write this since English isn't my first language and I don't fully master it. Second, I don't know how much of what I'm going to say here is popular or unpopular; I don't usually participate in discussions about TV series online since it tends to be quite toxic on both sides, and I don't want any trouble. I'm not a professional screenwriter or anything like that, I'm just sharing my ideas here.

I want to start by saying that I love Digital Circus and I think the show had a great ending despite its flaws. I had some unmet expectations and was pleasantly surprised while watching, and overall I'm satisfied, even though I certainly wish it had been better. I understand that this was GW's first show and is subject to flaws, so I think one of the main problems is the lack of more writers. Having only Goose writing definitely didn't do her or the show as a whole any good.

At first I thought each episode of the show would focus on Pomni's relationship with some character from the cast. That was the case in episode 2 with Gummigoo, in episode 3 with Kinger, in episode 4 with Gangle (even though it was brief), and in episode 5 with Jax. Unfortunately, the story didn't follow that path, and we didn't get a "Ragatha episode" or a "Zooble episode," which could have been good for those characters.

The number of episodes is also a problem; for me, the show should have at least 12 episodes, where episodes 3-7 would develop the characters during some adventure, and episodes 8-11 could develop the C&A and Caine plot (I would also keep the "Abel" plot. I personally think it's cool). I would also make it clear during the show that Jax and Pomni are the actual protagonists, which, as we have it, seems like just information thrown in to justify the absurd amount of screen time Jax gets (Jax is my favorite character, but I'd like to see more of the others too :( ).

Speaking specifically about the film, it certainly needs a longer runtime, at least an hour and a half and at most two. It would be great if the first half of the film showed us how the characters are feeling about being just copies of real people. I don't think Jax needs to be so present in the first half, which could make his abrupt abstraction better once the second half begins. Regarding the second half itself, I don't see a problem in keeping what we had in the original movie. I really like her and what was shown in the part where Pomni is in Jax's mind.

That's basically what I wanted to say, I apologize for any mistakes or confusion. I really like this show even though it's not perfect, and I wanted to share the changes I would make. Digital Circus is still a solid 8.5/10 for me, and I hope I don't get a negative reaction here for it.

I'm a new Homestuck fan who's far from even finishing the comic (I'm on Act 5, Act 2), and I recently overheard a conversation between some friends where one side argued that the sequels are really bad and not canon, therefore I shouldn't waste my time reading them, while the other side argued that HSBC was really good, that the story was going in an interesting direction, and that some of the characters' actions are part of their development over the years within the story.

I know I'm far from finishing the comic and that I probably shouldn't be thinking about this now, but I want to know what other people think about it and whether or not it's really worth reading the epilogues and Beyond Canon.
