These stories are based on plots from the virtual games such as trainers like Red in Kanto who dream is to be as strong as he can be.
Gold in Johto who needs to find all of his family’s pokemon that he lost, and there are many more, even seeing the story for the villains side. And with more detail into how Pokemon like Mewtwo and Deoxys came to be.

hi charlie, this is a great start! the only thing that needs to be changed is you have a lot of 'personal opinion' type statements in there... specifically, 'these stories are based on' or 'more detail into'. basically a synopsis should describe the story, but not in a third person type sense... it should just describe the events like a movie announcer would.

so you could just put a swing on this like 'from following trainers such as Red who dreams to be the strongest trainer, to Gold who needs to find all of his family's lost Pokemon, to discovering the reasons behind Deoxys and Mewtwo's creations, there's many adventures to be had in the world of [is there a world name?]

let me know if how i described the last part is accurate - if so, ill edit the first part and use it :)

I was amazed by some of the good mangas that haven't got a synopsis yet so I figured I'd try my hand at creating some. This will be my first time attempting such a feat so please give me as much advice as possible so that I can focus on what needs to be improved, removed, or added.

change of plans - i've been talking with the chat room about this one and it sounds like we'll need something a bit less general, as i've been told a few things are not in there that are really important (his relationship with the girl, his ex always visiting, his constantly moving apartments, etc).

liquid, does that ring true to you at all? if so, any chance you can have a second try, talking more about the manga as a whole, rather than just the beginning? it doesnt have to be spoilertastic, but if something happens early on it's worth talking about.

[liquid]

Thats not a problem at all as I was wondering just how far things needed to be covered. I designed that synopsis to focus on the beginning chapter as it wouldn't reveal anything significant yet still give a basis to how the series flowed. Izumi was an example of that as I didn't know how much I wanted to reveal about her relationship Raizou such as sleeping arrangements, how they progress, and so forth.

A couple things I'd like to ask though would be how far is a general measure of what a synopsis should cover. There are a lot of main characters that flow around the series and getting through all of them would turn this into an essay. His ex always visiting is something that I should have included since she has a great presence throughout the manga (and especially early on) and I can probably make a subtle hint as to Raizou changing to different apartments throughout the series.

Oh and the other question I was wondering about is if anything else needed work on the synopsis besides it being too general.

[Tenshinchigi]

Ok so you said you're looking for some feed back right?

Well I have some feed back on some of the synopsis.

Mx0: I love the second one, though it spends a little too much time summing up the first few chapters. Also the second isn't quite as informative as the first, but the first is too wordy.

Double Arts: It's worded awkwardly and doesn't tell me anything about the characters. Besides Kiri isn't unremarkable, his idea of cute is remarkable by itself, let alone his sense of fashion.

Bleach: There are quite a few grammar and spelling issues and it's worded awkwardly.

Chibi Vampire Karin: The first synopsis is great, the second summarizes the story to much, and the third is just...really, really weird...

I saw that a lot of my favorite mangas were missing so I thought I'd try and contribute, but I might not be adequate. Please, bear with me.
