Tokimeki PokéLive! and Twinbee

***Tokimeki PokéLive! and Twinbee*** (ときめき ポケリヴ！ とツインビー *Tokimeki Pokerivu! To Tsuinbī*) is a series of fanfiction composed of lighthearted Seinen  type Slice of Life one shot stories that are similar in tone to both *Love Live!* and *Tokimeki Memorial,* with the one shots focusing on the day to day activities of the Nijigasaki Academy students including their School Idol exploits, explanations of *Pokémon* concepts for those new to the franchise and romantic stories that focus on a specific couple, with occasional appearances from the *μ's* and *Aqours* members and male characters are usually absent from the one shots too though there are exceptions.

In addition, there are also Shonen  aimed 4 part story arcs that are more faithful to *Pokémon*, which have serious moments as well as action packed battles between heroes and villains depending on the arc, and which are truer-to-the-text adaptations of the Nintendo/Game Freak Core Series games, anime specials such as *Pokémon Origins* and *Pokémon Generations* as well as the *Pokémon Adventures*(*Pokémon SPECIAL/PokéSpe* in Japan) manga while also taking creative liberties when needed along with original story arcs with male characters making appearances in certain arcs.

## About *Tokimeki PokéLive! and Twinbee*

*Tokimeki PokéLive! and Twinbee* is a crossover fanfic series involving the *Pokémon*, *Love Live!*, *Tokimeki Memorial* and *Twinbee* franchises with an emphasis placed on the *Pokémon* games, Bushiroad/KLab *Love Live!* mobile games and the non-Girl's Side *TokiMemo* games though there are various references to as well as elements and characters from other parts of the franchises.

The lighthearted Main Stories focus on Hilda White, Shizuku Kutashimo Osaka, Shiori Fujisaki, Pastel Cerise, Risa Selden and Emma Verde, typically with them interacting with their friends/fellow Nijigasaki Academy classmates, meeting a new female character, having a friendly Pokémon Battle with friends and/or them performing their School Idol activities and their friends will also have Main Stories with them as the stars sometimes as well.

On the other hand, the Side Stories are somewhat darker than the Main Stories on occasion, with the Side Stories being composed of four part story arcs and there's more of an emphasis on continuity and action including Pokémon Battles that are more intense than the ones in the Main Stories, complete with a struggle against the Villain-of-the-Arc, but there will also be arcs without any villains in them whatsoever.

The Side Story arcs as well as certain special story arcs (Ex. ***Hilda and Setsuna Yuki:Maximum Metal***) also have more in common with anime/manga series that are aimed more towards teens/adults, themselves coming with darker/more serious moments at times (Ex. Any given series in *Shonen Jump* (*Weekly Shonen Jump* in Japan), *Ultra Jump*, certain series published in *CoroCoro*, any given anime aired on Cartoon Network's *Toonami* block and ect.) than to the more lighthearted titles that are associated with the typical *Love Live!* demographic (Ex. *The Idolm@ster* (a.k.a. *The Idolmaster*), *K-ON!*, *Lucky Star* and *YuruYuri*.).

Another difference from the Main Stories is that the Side Stories focus more on the characters outside Hilda's main group of six from Nijigasaki Academy with a rotating cast of characters for every different arc.

Interestingly, while the Main Stories make this one of the more lighthearted *Pokémon* universes, on the other hand, the Side Story arcs as well as certain portions of the backstory/lore of this universe makes it one of the darker/more mature *Love Live!*, *Tokimeki Memorial* and *Twinbee* universes.

## About *Tokimeki PokéLive! and Twinbee:Boy's Side*

*Tokimeki PokéLive! and Twinbee:Boy's Side* is a spinoff series that runs concurrently alongside the Nijigasaki Saga stories with Eugene Thomas along with N Harmonia Blair and Hilbert Blair and some of their classmates/friends form an all male School Idol group representing Higsashi High, an all male school.

Like the main *PokéLive!* stories with the girls, there are lighthearted Main Stories and darker, Shonen aimed Side Story arcs.

## About *Pokémon! School Idol Festival*

***Pokémon! School Idol Festival*** was the old continuity before the reboot into *Tokimeki PokéLive! and Twinbee*, in which the stories were merely lighthearted Slice of Life affairs with no continuity or backstory behind it.
