A Few Words I Wish to Share

Regarding the protagonist’s golden finger, as mentioned earlier, he has refrained from using it because he fears that modifying a Pokémon might turn it into something like the Gugu Bird. All the Pokémon he has encountered so far are living beings with flesh and blood—the Chestnut-Storing Mouse in the forest, the father-daughter pair of Ralts and Gardevoir, as well as Gengar and Budew. None of these Pokémon are mere tools to him. He simply cannot bring himself to modify them without knowing whether the modifier has any side effects.

To this protagonist, Pokémon are not just instruments. All I can say is that the golden finger will eventually reveal its purpose, and it will play a role in Gengar’s storyline. In the later stages, its use will become possible, but those three aspects will not be under the protagonist’s active control—the only things he can freely manipulate are the shiny form and moves, which he can modify at will.

Therefore, the story may evolve into a showcase of various creative move combinations, along with the delightful and astonishing moments that readers enjoy. In the end, I want to emphasize that this is not a typical power fantasy where the protagonist blindly modifies everything and collects legendary Pokémon without thought. Everyone has different preferences for the kind of plot they enjoy.

This is simply the story of a mage growing up in another world and meeting new companions.
