Deleted line(s) 49 (click to see context) :
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Eight Pokémorphs distributed across six homes, with each home also having (usually two) parents and optional extra siblings, though not much tends to be seen of them. This wouldn't be that much in, say, a TV show with several seasons, but this is a fourteen-chapter fanfic. This in combination with the slow progress of the fic has led to many readers forgetting who everybody is between chapters.

** To be fair, only [[Manga/PokemonSpecial Pokémon Special]] (itself an AlternateUniverse) established that the world was ruled by the League, we don't see any really powerful Pokémon because the villains use guns and everyone else with a Pokémon only use them as pets. I don't think the author even mentioned what region/country the story takes place in, nor does it really apply to the story. Of course given that this story is much more DarkerAndEdgier compared to mainstream Pokémon, it would probably be safe to assume that this is the case.
