I've seen this clip from the Pokemon anime where a Malamar who emits a bright light, turns Serena into a Braixen. That got me wondering: Is it possible for a human to be turned into a pokemon by a Pokemon?

In the 1980s, most likely in Analog SF magazine, though could have been an anthology, I read a story which included a gun standoff on the Moon. One of the characters shot his gun (Colt 45?), but his bullet orbited the Moon, coming back around and hitting his opponent (at least that is how I recal...

I'm searching for a sci-fi story I read years ago about a human ship discovering a lost colony, possibly on a death world or asteroid. The harsh conditions forced the colonists to genetically modify themselves to find pleasure in self-sacrifice. I vividly remember a scene where a colonist smiles ...

Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragon Ball died on March 1st, 2024 from an acute subdural hematoma. I can't say that I ever got terribly into Dragon Ball, but he had a huge impact on shonen anime.

I think I played this about 15-17 years ago, when I first got my own PS2. I'd proudly bought some games for what seemed like quite the bargain, only to find out that there was a good reason that they were so cheap. One of them started off on a beach. You had to solve a puzzle, I think a fairly ea...

In the first chapter, she had to cut her hair and she also drinks a potion to deepen her voice. The antago...

I read this short story long ago, probably in an anthology. The details are fuzzy but I think the protagonist may have been dismissed from the human army/fleet or otherwise fallen from grace. He somehow realizes there is an alien fleet preparing to attack Earth; he points his spaceship towards Ea...

I remember reading a science fiction\fantasy book dating to around the late 1970s, early 1980s. Probably English or German. Part way though the book it takes a sudden short change of direction and instead of describing the main character's journey it describes a dying world orbiting a red dwarf s...

Does anyone know the name of a short story, maybe 100 pages, possibly German language, from the mid-late 1970s, about a futuristic civilization whose planet existed inside a dense stellar dust cloud. The cloud was so thick that it absorbed almost all electromagnetic waves, and it only let through...

The first episode of Star Trek/TOS that used a shuttlecraft was The Galileo Seven, which included the full interior and exterior of the shuttle. That was more than halfway through the season (Episode S01E16). Earlier, in The Enemy Within (S01E05), there is no mention of the shuttle at all, even w...

I also remember she was helping someone with their house too.The father was supposedly feare...
