@Tehpikachu: It's a fair comparison. The way the characters are drawn especially reminds me of Steven Universe.

I just finished reading through everything so far in one night... It's pretty interesting! A lot of things remind me of a lot of different things.
Unique variants of individual Pokemon... That actually reminds me of the animated series more than anything else. The show usually features Pokemon with unique abilities, rather than appearances, but it's done both. Sometimes at the same time, like with Ash-Greninja.
... And, yeah, that one comes to mind for other reasons, too.
... Eggman really doesn't see how unlikely it is this plan will keep working, huh? Or that, if game mechanics really apply... How exactly does he plan to beat Tails?
Eggman... Not particularly known for thinking things through.
... I actually did (sort of) see it coming. But I thought it was too stupid, so didn't really expect it to happen. But, then, well... I remember what she's like.
