    You'd be surprise in how persuasive I can be as I already start writing and planning in advance.

    @MajorBrendan So? Anyone can be persuasive, to be honest the ideas you share here just sound like a fan-fiction writer, and not a very good one at that. Pokémon probably won’t choose someone that is just writing fan fictions and I’d doubt that even if you get the job they would make you head of descions, @TheJeffers and I have argued quite a bit on here but we agree that criticism is important, something you should take seriously.

    I have stories and ideas I've had for years that I've made better, but that's not what makes an idea good. There are reasons you can't do some things, like marketability, financial reasons, it ruining the story or characters, or the idea just not having a good impact on other parts, and many more things you have to think about.

    My creativity is one thing but I will also persuade the company in marketability and finance while guarantee the story won't be ruined.

    @unovanzorua No matter what, I will make my dreams possible. Question still remains from you being, do you believe in destiny?

    @MajorBrendan No Destiny isn't real

    At the end of the day it's not destiny that decides our paths it's our choices

    The reason that Junichi Masuda created Pokemon was that he missed the bug catching of his youth, not something that was always going to happen but instead something that wouldn't have happened if it weren't for his choices

    I'm sorry but believing that what you want to happen will happen because you decided it should doesn't work

    I have a dream, to be an animator, I've watched so many animations on Youtube and I've realized that it's what I should do, but I don't think I will make it without effort, if I think that I'm guaranteed to make it then I probably will quit when it get's to hard, but if I try my hardest and do it for fun then things will go ever so slightly better

    I'm sorry I just really hate it when people are snobby and act as if they are better than everyone else because they aren't, all of the people who made it are humble, something you lack.

    Also if you respond with something like "WeLl YoU'rE jUsT a StUpId LoSeR oN tHe InTeRnEt WhO wIlL nEvEr MaKe It LiKe I wIlL" Then you obviously aren't reading any of this and have another reason as to why they likely won't ever become a worker at GameFreak

    You may never know as it's a matter of a leap of faith.

    you can't have destiny without a little faith.

    @MajorBrendan

    It depends. What someone does depends on their personality and how others around them affect that. A child with bad parents is destined to have a bad childhood for example.

    But some things can be decided by the people and how much effort they put into their work and understanding its flaws. For example, an artist that sees they can't shade properly or don't know anatomy that well can fix it and become a much better artist, but an artist who doesn't see what's wrong and refuses to learn the basics thinking what they made is perfect, will stay a bad artist.

    Since you want to be great someday, my advice is to post other stories, even ones that don't have anything to do with Pokémon, on other sites first. I advice starting with one shots since they have a shorter limit and help you get used to writing.

    I already took art lessons from school and learn from my mistakes. I'm also capable of producing screenplays and movie reviews. I also have portfolio sites to back up my claim. One of my art lessons is intensive basic from the Steve Ahn. I took his lessons twice and was impressed in my improvements.
