I believe I have used 3 of those. Paper Mario, Bioshock Golden Reel, and InFamous dead drops.

They helped. Thanks for that.

Don't let that stop you. While GameFAQs appreciates speed, quality is the most important thing, and if you can prove you're making constant progress, they'll usually forgive you going over the "expiration date".

Then again, you should pick a guide for a game you'd enjoy writing. We have "the list" right now and I confess there's really nothing on there that attracts me. I was kinda hoping Judgment would show up, but it looks like nothing doing.

Will Pokemon Sword/Shield be on there? I WANT to fully cover a Pokemon game, but I get bogged down in the details every time...

Well I can't confirm that at all. It's not easy to track the games they choose. There's a good chance, though.

Am I cut out for a Pokemon Shield guide? Is it stressful?

I uploaded my Pikmin 3 guide on October 15, 2015. I've never stopped.

I've never written a Pokemon guide, or indeed even properly played a Pokemon game, so I couldn't answer that for you.

Writing on a timer always has some level of stress. It's a matter of how you deal with it.

Fair enough...

IF I do this, how do I not get too deep into jargon and stats and other technical information?

Not part of that community so can't really answer in detail, but you need to give what will be useful. If that requires jargon and stats, then provide it.

I, uh, tend to go hog-wild with the details and lose sight of the big picture...

Congrats! That's a lot of people you've helped out.

Topic made me curious what my lifetime views were:

1uzmbX2

Kind of surprised since I've never written a guide for a AAA title before.

Nice.

My BotW guide is my most popular work, but I consider my BioShock 2 and Paper Mario guides great as well.
