Now this is a bit interesting. I haven't seen too many stories like this, with the characters who designed the PC box system, and the mood felt a little strange in comparison to most of the fics I've seen.
The concept of glitches in games has always been interesting to me, and although I haven't seen too many in Pokemon, I rarely see stories anywhere close to this. Therefore, 404 Error has my vote.
Max is a rather interesting character, and I enjoy the idea of seeing him on a journey of his own as a Pokemon trainer. Therefore, this story gains my appreciation for this reason.
I thought his story "What now…?" was fun to read, and he seems to be pretty good for a new guy. I'd say he should be given a chance at being selected for the award.
