Does this count as badfic? by

I was reading pokemon fanfiction and I stumbled upon NEW HEROES OF
OTHER WORLDS (yes, in all caps). I can spot a character who I believe
to be a stu, given that he has the same name as the author, the very
rare dimensional scream ability(which is only found in the Mystery
Dungeon Explorers subcontinuum, but he is in Sinnoh). There are also
some inconsistencies in the geography, such as Palkia being at
"Pillar Mountain" as opposed to Spear Pillar (which is the peak of
Mt. Coronet) or Spacial Rift.
I can furthermore notice some rather odd occurrences, such as a
souless (are these from Kingdom Hearts?) turning into a pony then
possessing a plant and nearly killing the main characters, then
turning good when he finds out that a pony he was fighting plays
violin. Some of this even stretches the bounds of humor, such as
randomly changing focus to Mobius to include the Sonic cast.
I also notice some errors in english language syntax, such as
"fall of a cliff" and "rattacate", as well as an introduction
which is written in prose, with the rest of the narrative being in
script format with prose mixed in. On top of that, the story is a
crossover of four (five?) different continua, which seldom ends
well.
I'm not sure though if this is bad enough to merit a PPC mission
though. There are a decent number of attempts at humor, but they don't
always work. It looks like it may be just a group of friends trying to
write a story together. Is this PPC worthy?
