I've decided to put my Disney/Zootopia + Pokémon storyline on the backburner or an indefinite hiatus for the time being. The reason for this being because I am very disappointed in what the Pokémon franchise has become today and where it is heading, especially with its game series.
From the things that I've heard about Legends: Z-A, I honestly feel like the game is the final nail in the coffin for me with Pokémon after 7 to 8 years of many disappointing games throughout the Switch era. Otherwise, I feel that I have nearly lost all happiness in involving myself in the franchise altogether, and I think I'm ready to leave and move on from it. I don't even think Generation 10 will change my mind.

My venting and frustration aside, I am currently in the process of making a storyline that will take place in an alternate continuity. Shadow will still live in Zootopia and still be dating Clawhauser as well as being a police officer on the Zootopia Police Department. But with this new continuity, I will also be attempting to return to my roots of using a cartoon aesthetic (inspired by cartoons like Scooby-Doo, Looney Tunes, TaleSpin, etc.).
A couple of other ideas I have in mind are Shadow having a magic TV remote that basically lets him visit other cartoon or animated worlds, as well as exploring an adult version of Vex in which he's 22-years old and studying at a university in Zootopia while hosting a podcast and livestream channel with his dorm roommate in his spare time. Those are some of my ideas currently.

I would like to end this journal by saying that I do not hate Pokémon as a franchise. It has potential to be a truly great and special franchise again, but greedy and slackerish people like Gamefreak and Nintendo (who is arguably more to blame than the former for the franchise's declining quality honestly) choose not to make it that way - they only care about the most amount of money for the least amount of work they put in that the games can make them nowadays, not about any sort of passion or effort put into the games.

With that being said, I sincerely hope everyone enjoys what stories I may put out in the future. Stay pawsitive.
