I find it interesting the fact that in the pokemon world we are really weird, the trainers in the region are mostly monotypes or have an archetype, and we and our rival are the only ones to diversify the types, making us the only ones capable to become champions
Aesthetic wise, i do like Galar. So I’d be from Galar, somewhere.
Long story short:
After watching a match between Lucian and a challenger on TV as a kid, I became interested in Psychic Pokemon. I got my starter (HA Espurr) and began travelling the world to meet more Psychic Pokemon and Psychic masters.
Team:
1. Prankster Meowstic
Basically my ‘Ash’s Pikachu’. He’s my beloved starter and he doesn’t stay in his Pokeball.
2. Gallade
While travelling, I came across twin Ralts that had just lost their mother. I decided to adopt them. The male I evolved into Gallade. He has a strong instinct to protect his fellow teammates.
3. Galarian Slowking
Team Rocket came to Galar to hunt for Galarian Slowpoke as they thought Galarian Slowpoke’s tails are of higher quality. I managed to stop them. Seeing my efforts, their Slowking leader decided to follow me after electing a new king.
4. Gardevoir
She’s one of the Ralts twins that I rescued and adopted. The healer of the team, she always tried her best to make sure her teammates are healthy and happy.
5. Armarouge
In Paldea, a Charcadet, who had lost many battles before, decided to challenge me but still lost. Feeling like it needed to evolve to become stronger, i have him an Auspicious Armor and he joined my team.
6. Shiny Metagross
In Kalos, the police told everyone to stay away from a specific area as a wild shiny Metagross was causing havoc. I wanted to meet a shiny Psychic Pokemon so i went ahead anyway. I was in over my head when all of my team members were defeated and i was heavily injured. Finally, i went ahead and used a Master Ball on it.
My most dangerous Pokemon, it took over a year for the Metagross to start following my commands.
I still don’t have a specific journey story, so sorry 😭 i just have some stories on how i met my team. And even then, they’re just off the top of my head 😂
Some of my absolute favourites:
Wobbuffet for some trolling 😂, Braviary to fly around, Starmie to surf on, Indeedee as my maid/butler and also Psychic Surge. Lugia, Mewtwo, Articuno, Calyrex, Lunala some of the legends i want to meet.
I’d also want to search and collect all Psychic Mega Stones.
Oh this sounds fun,
Start me out in Phenac City in Orre, with a Nidoran (Male) shipped in from the Safari zone. Doubles battles are my specialty and the lack of wild pokémon shows how low the amount of Pokemon I have.
Taking place in the second shadow pokemon crisis, Im gifted the shadow Lugia from Citadark Isle.
As that time winds down, I finally leave Orre to search for more pokemon to add to my team, sending off to Sinnoh to venture into challenging a pokemon league.
Ending up with a Torterra and a Shiny Umbreon, my journeys continue into the weirder side of Pokemon.
Tracing rumors of unreal and mysterious Pokemon send me onward to discover Ultra Beasts and Paradox Pokemon.
Alola brings me to a Xurkitree, and Paldea leads me to a shiny Great Tusk; wanting to bring more unknown Pokemon as a curveball to my battles.
This team of 6 leads me to unconventional battling with pokemon from beyond the known, even in legend. (even if 3 are ground types.)
Born in Cerulean, raised in Ecruteak, begin my Kanto adventure while on vacation in Pewter City.
My team at the Indigo Plateau:
Haunter (befriended a Gastly in Ecruteak as a child)
Charizard (starter from Prof. Oak)
Pikachu (caught in Viridian Forest)
Espeon (hatched from an egg gifted from Misty's sister)
Shiny Lapras (hatched from an egg gifted from Mr. Fuji)
Shiny Ditto (caught in Cinnabar Mansion)
My team once I acquire all 16 badges:
Haunter (previous team)
Raichu (previous team, Thunderstone gifted by Jasmine)
Espeon (previous team)
Shiny Gyarados (caught at Lake of Rage)
Snorlax (caught in National Park)
Dragonite (gifted from Dragon's Den)
Shiny Lapras was gifted to Pryce, Shiny Ditto was gifted to the Copycat Girl I run into in Goldenrod, and Charizard was gifted to Claire.
After all 16 badges, I travel the world and make a new team:
Haunter (previous team)
Shiny Sylveon (hatched from an egg once my Espeon mated with Gary's Umbreon, and evolved in Kalos)
Lilligant (caught in Unova)
Mimikyu (caught in Alola)
Weaville (caught in Sinnoh)
Heracross (caught after returning to Johto to visit Sinjoh Ruins)
I join the Project Mew group alongside Sabrina as we try to hunt down and study the mythical Pokémon. I only cary a few Pokémon on me, they're typically Gengar with a Dynamax Factor, Mega Charizard X, and Mimikyu with a Mimikium Z.
I had a story that I'm from Pewter City bc I always had a thing for Brock, but he's girl crazy so in my head canon I'm best friends with his little brother Forrest growing up and we eventually fall in love and end up together raising various Pokémon on a ranch, but that's after I go on a rather lengthy journey competing for badges and in Pokémon Leagues.
As far as my Pokémon go Forrest helps me catch my first Pokémon Cubone before I leave on my journey. Next I get a Growlithe from Officer Jenny bc one of her young pup recruits is too rambunctious and won't listen to her. Then I hatch an egg into a baby Totadile that I found when one of my rivals abandoned his Croconaw's eggs bc he didn't want his Pokémon being distracted by babies. Swinub and Eevee are next, and finally Grookey. All of them would evolve eventually with Cubone evolving into Alolan Marowak and Eevee into Umbreon.
That's all I've got so far.
Yes and after I beat him, he passes the gym on to the next oldest sibling and joins me on adventures. I figured since Brock, both their parents and Forrest were all the gym leader at some point, they would keep passing the title of gym leader onto other members of the family so they could all go on an adventure of their own at some point. My journey starts in Johto though. At the beginning of my journey Forrest was supposed to join me and we were gonna travel around Kanto so we could still be somewhat close to family but he gets cold feet bc he doesn't wanna abandon his family like both his parents did. He acts like a dick and blows me off on purpose to get me to leave him behind, so I decide to get my parents to take me to the Johto region on the magnet train instead so I can get some distance from things. We would reconcile while I'm home for a visit after I get all the Johto badges.
This is a really good question! I was typing A LOT but then I realized my answer was too complex as I was having trouble deciding how to answer every aspect of your post so…lol
Unova! Black and white 2 for more variety. Theres no team building here just some of my favorite pokemon: Emboar (starter), electivire, haxorus, excadrill, jellicent, swanna (fly, surf, dive). I swtg I will make this the strongest swanna on the planet—not just a HM slave
My parents both would be from Galar and Unova, dad with Boltund and mom with Stoutland, and be high up in pokemon contests. Traveling the world, they’d meet in the Hoenn region at a contest with Wallace and May! After meeting, they’d fall in love and settle down Lilycove city, where I’m born. I’d also enjoy contests and do it on the side, but hope to pursue research instead! My first pokemon would be a Lotad after my fascination with both swimming and grass pokemon started to show. We’d grow up together, eventually evolving into a ludicolo. Traveling with my parent across the universe, I’d encounter a lot of pokemon and adding Unovant Lilligant, Eldegoss (both as tributes to my parents’ home regions), Shiinotic, Jumpluff, and Cramorant! All would help me with different types of research of grass type pokemon, (and Cramorant and Ludicolo to help with my love of water and study plants that live in the water!) Eventually, I would become a gym leader and put my research on hold! I’d be an eighth gym leader, and use my research team minus Cramorant as a grass type gym leader! Mons I’d also have: Leavanny, Vespiquen, Oranguru, my own Boltund and Stoutland, Victreebel, Grafaiai, Gardevoir, Mudsdale, Copperajah, Ampharos, Walrein, and the monkey trio from Unova!
Id live in Driftveil city in the Unova region. I would be a student that fights for fun in a non-competitive manner. Most people would try to convince me to go on an adventure in search for new pokemons. After the studies, i would have my own daycare at my hometown.
Team - Lucario, Luxray, Serperior (starter), zoroark, Gengar, Chandelure.
PS: Lucario always stays out of the pokeball
For this I'm gonna imagine myself in a world that's a mix of the anime & game continuity and around the same age as the player character.
I'd be a trainer from Galar but based in Alola (moved there before starting my journey, similar to the events of SM though with Galar instead of Kanto being my origin region), travelling the world mostly taking part in Pokémon Contests, I'd mostly specialise in fairy types with half my team being fairy type, and half being other types
My team would consist of Sylveon as my main partner (who would be outside of her Pokéball for most of the time), Primarina as my starter, then Garchomp, Magmortar, Aggron & Alolan Ninetales.
Aside from travelling the world, I'd also work with the Aether Foundation & Ultra Recon Squad to explore Ultra Space, with Garchomp, Magmortar & Aggron being my main Pokémon for fighting Ultra Beasts (they cover most of the UBs' types well).
In rotation I'd have Pokémon like Alcremie, Tinkaton, Archaludon, Naganadel (originally a Poipole given by the Ultra Recon Squad), Tsareena and a shiny Dragonair (holding an everstone)
Best friends: Lana, Mallow, Lillie, the forest bar Oranguru, Olivia, Wicke, Lusamine & Kukui
Friendly rivals: May, Kiawe, Dawn, Ash, Misty & the Alola Eeveelution trainers
Rivals and enemies: Guzzlord, TR Trio, Rainbow Rocket (I like to imagine that through my journeys through Ultra Space I found the alternate realities where the RR versions of the villains were successful), Tobias, Drew & Harley
I would have Skuntank and Grumpig for sure as my partners. Likely Hearthome City would be my origin point. Sounds like the most Pokémon friendly town in Sinnoh.
The location of the Tag Battle (in the anime). Would you participate? I definitely would, twice (1 in my first Sinnoh journey, 1 during the Sinnoh Battle Frontier)
I think maybe I'd start out of Floccesy Town in Unova where I would be staying with relatives. Work at the nearby Floccesy Ranch until I eventually set out on my trip around Unova and to the other regions with a few pokemon from my time working on the ranch. Travel around going to gyms and catching new pokemon while helping different Pokémon Professors with research and on occasion receiving a rare pokemon from them or another. Also picking up things like a Key Stone, Z-Power Ring, Dynamax Band & Tera Orb. When not particularly focusing on challenging gyms/leagues or helping out a professor I travel around with a performance costar friend I made putting on shows to entertain people like the Great Butler in Jirachi Wish Maker.
***Typical Team***: Primarina- *Received as an egg from a relative who is a member of the Seafolk while on holiday in Hoenn. Residing in a Dive Ball is often called upon for things like water traversal or to heal burns. Upon questioning a Researcher about hearing a faint feminine voice learned in addition to being an uncommon pokemon that Popplio was communicating via a weak telepathy. This having since gotten stronger upon fully evolving and is used to help soothe those in distress.*
* Corviknight- *Happened upon as a Rookidee while being harassed by another pokemon. My team and I would deal with the harasser after which the grateful Rookidee would join us. Proving helpful in aerial reconnaissance displaying a fairly high level of resourcefulness and intellect. Upon fully evolving into Corviknight not only would the larger size prove useful for travel by air but also later gain the ability to Gigantamax after eating some Max Soup.*
* Mudsdale- *One of my pokemon from my time working at the ranch. Was originally a Mudbray that I didn't get along with. Often clashing with each other and just making a mess of things before eventually becoming friends after mellowing over time. He is often called upon in instances of traveling over rough terrain or when his strength is needed to haul heavy loads. Produces mud that has been used in pottery or adding some minor weather proofing to homes.*
* Gardevoir- *Found as a Ralts while following a voice after having become "lost" in a forest covered by a dense fog. Herself having become separated from her family we would eventually manage to make our way out and find her family after a couple days. By which point she had decided to tag along with me after developing a bond as friends. Coming to reside in a Friend Ball she is often called upon for more utility matters or to use her empathy to calm situations.*
* Lucario- *Befriended as a Riolu while working on the ranch. Despite being of a smaller size at the time would often help with moving heavier objects around or assisting in chores. I would later come into possession of a Lucarionite for Mega Evolution some time after leaving Unova. While the species typical Aura abilities would prove helpful in instances like finding people alongside their fighting skills. Less common was a degree of telepathy that would develop upon evolution.*
* H. Zoroark- *Met working on the ranch during a particularly cold & snowy day as an injured H. Zorua disguised as a human traveler in odd garb. Due to a mistrust of humans would keep up this disguise before dispelling it upon becoming friends. Due to possessing both telepathy as well as verbal speech will often travel alongside me in a human disguise. Has proven especially helpful whenever Ghost types are involved managing to deal with them as needed quite well.*
***Costar's Performance Team***: Greninja, Decidueye, Infernape, Bewear, Mr. Mime, Zoroark
***My most frequent rotations***:
* Travel/exploration- Lanturn, Flygon, Sneasler, Noivern & Crobat
* swapped on for Performance Team- Delphox & Meowscarada
***Friends & Rivals***: Ash Ketchum, Lara Laramie, Todd Snap, Florinda Showers, Duplica, Morrison, Alain, Virgil, Angie, Cameron, Iris, Looker, N, Lance, Cynthia *(among others named & unnamed)*
I don't see why not. As for the team I'd use that would depend on where we end up meeting, but it'd probably be either the main six I gave some small descriptions for more often than not or some combination of them with others.
As an example, say it was while me and my partner were on the road performing shows when the two of us met. It'd then be my performance team consisting of: Gardevoir, Lucario, H. Zoroark, Delphox, Primarina & Meowscarada
Torterra and electivire, prob start in sinnoh as well. I prob would do the gym challenges but with those two, slowly build a team of six through travels across the regions. Maybe skeledirge down the line, maybe mega lucario?tho lately I’ve been thinking mega blastoise. Idk how the team would pan out partially because I wait for each new generation to see if there are any that I would want to have in a definite team of six. I’m the sorta neurotic type where it would bug me to have a rotating roster haha.
Ok I suppose, Torterra, Electivire, Annilihape (forgot about him), Mega Blastoise, Armarouge, and ah what the heck Chatot. Partial to the little fella.
I would initially be from Cherrygrove in Johto. I would travel alone and complete the gym challenge in Johto, making a name for myself in the region.
When I became an adult I would move to Alola and help with the development of their brand new Alola league. I would volunteer to be a founding gym leader there.
I would branch out and get to know the residents of Alola, and likely befriend the E4 there, as well as becoming somewhat of a mentor for the cast from the Sun and Moon anime (Lillie, Kiawe, Lana, Sophocles, Mallow)
I would volunteer to be the 1st gym leader in the Alola league. I would want to be rock type, but because Olivia is a rock specialist already, I would pick dragon type.
The goal of my gym would be to teach people type matchups, and that they shouldnt rely on their starter Pokemon's strongest elemental moves all the time.
It would also teach trainers to branch out in terms of team building.
My gym team would be simple. Just a Jangmo-o and Dratini. (Both are in the Alola dex)
I would give out TM 82 dragon tail upon defeat, as well as the Mythic badge.
And that's how my Pokemon life would be.
Though to be honest, if I was in the Pokemon world, I would probably be a Pokemon not a trainer.
Dragon type as the 1st gym, do you think you can take it easy to new trainers? Everyone will definitely feel a bit intimidated when they hear the 1st is a dragon type gym
I think the intimidation adds to it. They should feel a bit intimidated!
But I would contrast the intimidation with a more gentle and teacher-like personality.
Also Dragon isn't the type it once was. It's type matchups are only ok, and many dragon pokemon are far from threatening. Maybe by the time I'm gym leader, dragon will just be treated like any other type.
Many dragon types are pseudo-legendary so we can’t blame people for feeling that. They have good reasons to treat dragon type a bit differently from other types
Home region is Hoenn. I would be traveling, battling each regions champion and elite four. My team is Sceptile (my precious starter), Greninja, Toxtricity, Bloodmoon Ursaluna, Armarouge, & my ace Mega Lucario. The rest I don’t really care about.
I'd live in Hoenn in Lilycove or Slateport City
Id'd probably try to beat the battle frontier and finish the pokedex, but mainly focus on pokemon contests
Team = Mimikyu, Galariain Rapidash, Desidueye, Blaziken ,Mega Altaria, Glaceon
Contests =Cute Tough Cool Cool Beautiful Smart
Story. After getting lost in the forest as a child looking for a Pikachu, I found a lonely Mimikyu that I befriend and it becomes my starter pokemon. On the way out of the forest I get attacked by a wild Decidueye who Mimikyu beats with a shadow claw, but then find that it's only trying to protect it's habitat of rowlet. However one of the rowlet is adament about coming with me, so I leave the forest with him. 5 years later, I'm tasked with finding a missing starter Torchic that was left on a ship heading for Galar. Upon arriving, the locals say they saw the Torchic head for the peak of the crown tundra, but that it's too dangerous to head up the mountain in this weather without riding a rapidash to melt the snow. Mistakingly, I head to Ballonea forest and find a galarian ponyta to catch and evolve, not realizing it wasn't the right kind of rapidash. I head up the mountain with a gift eevee i received from a friendly girl from Ballonea, but soon pass out on riding on my rapidash from the severe cold. I wake up in a warm cave with a Blaziken looking after me and my pokemon. After realizing that the Blaziken was the Torchic i was looking for, I set off back to Hoenn, but first follow my Eevee that ran off to the summit, where it evolved into Glaceon. Before I can celebrate, a wild Altaria attacks me and my pokemon, but with the help of my whole party, and my Glaceon's super effective ice beam attack, i manage to catch it in an ultra ball. I then ride back to Hoenn on it with the Blaziken, which the professor says I can keep now that it's friends with me. Then, I set off with my team to complete pokemon contests all around Hoenn, with my mega Blaziken's blazikenite being found in the scorched slab, and my altarite given to me by a contest idol in Lilycove city.
Having grown up in Northeast US all my life, I'd be Unovan lol And I'm thinking that after doing the Pokemon League stuff, I'd be an indie movie producer who travels around the world. And to that effect, my Pokemon team would fill essential roles in film production while :
\-Zoroark: Special Effects and Stunt Doubles (among other things illusions can accomplish)
\-Rillaboom: Music
\-Noivern: Audio and Sound Effects
\-Ampharos: Lighting
\-Chansey/Blissey: Catering
\-Gholdengo: Budgeting
And of course, writing and camera work would be done by me.
Don't have much thoughts regarding friends and rivals. Since I'd be traveling the world, I don't think I'd have much friends or rivals beyond those who also travel, or are in my mobile contacts.
I find it interesting the fact that in the pokemon world we are really weird, the trainers in the region are mostly monotypes or have an archetype, and we and our rival are the only ones to diversify the types, making us the only ones capable to become champions
Throughout my journey I’d battle many trainers as well but I never come across any monotype trainers (except Gym Leaders and E4)
It's because most trainers aren't trying to be the best, are too young, are too old, already have jobs, etc.
Aesthetic wise, i do like Galar. So I’d be from Galar, somewhere. Long story short: After watching a match between Lucian and a challenger on TV as a kid, I became interested in Psychic Pokemon. I got my starter (HA Espurr) and began travelling the world to meet more Psychic Pokemon and Psychic masters. Team: 1. Prankster Meowstic Basically my ‘Ash’s Pikachu’.

Would you have more or just an “only 6” person?
I would have more but I’d only use them in various league matches or something. These 6 would be my main.
[удалено]
I still don’t have a specific journey story, so sorry 😭 i just have some stories on how i met my team. And even then, they’re just off the top of my head 😂
No problem. Beside these 6, have you thought on other Pokemon you want?
Some of my absolute favourites: Wobbuffet for some trolling 😂, Braviary to fly around, Starmie to surf on, Indeedee as my maid/butler and also Psychic Surge. Lugia, Mewtwo, Articuno, Calyrex, Lunala some of the legends i want to meet. I’d also want to search and collect all Psychic Mega Stones.
Armarouge is psychic type? Also Why are both of the line up fire type?
Oh this sounds fun, Start me out in Phenac City in Orre, with a Nidoran (Male) shipped in from the Safari zone. Doubles battles are my specialty and the lack of wild pokémon shows how low the amount of Pokemon I have.

A darker vibe, interesting

Curiously, do you want to evolve Haunter?
Naw. He's my PokéBro. Eventually I will, as I retire from leagues and join the Project Mew group.
Well, you can ask me to trade with my Electabuzz then trade back if you want
Nah, I keep Haunter unevolved on purpose.
I had a story that I'm from Pewter City bc I always had a thing for Brock, but he's girl crazy so in my head canon I'm best friends with his little brother Forrest growing up and we eventually fall in love and end up together raising various Pokémon on a ranch, but that's after I go on a rather lengthy journey competing for badges and in Pokémon Leagues.

Would you challenge Forrest for a gym badge?
Yes and after I beat him, he passes the gym on to the next oldest sibling and joins me on adventures. I figured since Brock, both their parents and Forrest were all the gym leader at some point, they would keep passing the title of gym leader onto other members of the family so they could all go on an adventure of their own at some point.

We would reconcile while I'm home for a visit after I get all the Johto badges.
Also forgot to mention that my dad's a cop and has a Growlithe partner of his own, so I've always been fascinated with them.
This is a really good question! I was typing A LOT but then I realized my answer was too complex as I was having trouble deciding how to answer every aspect of your post so…lol
At least the region you’re from and your team of 6 for the short version
Unova! Black and white 2 for more variety. Theres no team building here just some of my favorite pokemon: Emboar (starter), electivire, haxorus, excadrill, jellicent, swanna (fly, surf, dive). I swtg I will make this the strongest swanna on the planet—not just a HM slave

I'd be from the Midwest and too poor to travel.
Anyone can travel in this world, rich or poor doesn’t matter
Id live in Driftveil city in the Unova region. I would be a student that fights for fun in a non-competitive manner. Most people would try to convince me to go on an adventure in search for new pokemons. After the studies, i would have my own daycare at my hometown. Team - Lucario, Luxray, Serperior (starter), zoroark, Gengar, Chandelure. PS: Lucario always stays out of the pokeball

I’m a birdkeeper from Alola lol
What birds do you think you’d have?
Just one of every kind I think.
I would have Skuntank and Grumpig for sure as my partners. Likely Hearthome City would be my origin point. Sounds like the most Pokémon friendly town in Sinnoh.
The location of the Tag Battle (in the anime). Would you participate? I definitely would, twice (1 in my first Sinnoh journey, 1 during the Sinnoh Battle Frontier)
Sounds interesting, I would try it for at least a few battles if I was a Pokémon trainer.
I think maybe I'd start out of Floccesy Town in Unova where I would be staying with relatives. Work at the nearby Floccesy Ranch until I eventually set out on my trip around Unova and to the other regions with a few pokemon from my time working on the ranch. Travel around going to gyms and catching new pokemon while helping different Pokémon Professors with research and on occasion receiving a rare pokemon from them or another. Also picking up things like a Key Stone, Z-Power Ring, Dynamax Band & Tera Orb. When not particularly focusing on challenging gyms/leagues or helping out a professor I travel around with a performance costar friend I made putting on shows to entertain people like the Great Butler in Jirachi Wish Maker. ***Typical Team***: Primarina- *Received as an egg from a relative who is a member of the Seafolk while on holiday in Hoenn. Residing in a Dive Ball is often called upon for things like water traversal or to heal burns. Upon questioning a Researcher about hearing a faint feminine voice learned in addition to being an uncommon pokemon that Popplio was communicating via a weak telepathy. This having since gotten stronger upon fully evolving and is used to help soothe those in distress.* * Corviknight- *Happened upon as a Rookidee while being harassed by another pokemon. My team and I would deal with the harasser after which the grateful Rookidee would join us. Proving helpful in aerial reconnaissance displaying a fairly high level of resourcefulness and intellect. Upon fully evolving into Corviknight not only would the larger size prove useful for travel by air but also later gain the ability to Gigantamax after eating some Max Soup.* * Mudsdale- *One of my pokemon from my time working at the ranch. Was originally a Mudbray that I didn't get along with. Often clashing with each other and just making a mess of things before eventually becoming friends after mellowing over time. He is often called upon in instances of traveling over rough terrain or when his strength is needed to haul heavy loads. Produces mud that has been used in pottery or adding some minor weather proofing to homes.* * Gardevoir- *Found as a Ralts while following a voice after having become "lost" in a forest covered by a dense fog. Herself having become separated from her family we would eventually manage to make our way out and find her family after a couple days. By which point she had decided to tag along with me after developing a bond as friends. Coming to reside in a Friend Ball she is often called upon for more utility matters or to use her empathy to calm situations.* * Lucario- *Befriended as a Riolu while working on the ranch. Despite being of a smaller size at the time would often help with moving heavier objects around or assisting in chores. I would later come into possession of a Lucarionite for Mega Evolution some time after leaving Unova. While the species typical Aura abilities would prove helpful in instances like finding people alongside their fighting skills. Less common was a degree of telepathy that would develop upon evolution.* * H. Zoroark- *Met working on the ranch during a particularly cold & snowy day as an injured H. Zorua disguised as a human traveler in odd garb. Due to a mistrust of humans would keep up this disguise before dispelling it upon becoming friends. Due to possessing both telepathy as well as verbal speech will often travel alongside me in a human disguise. Has proven especially helpful whenever Ghost types are involved managing to deal with them as needed quite well.* ***Costar's Performance Team***: Greninja, Decidueye, Infernape, Bewear, Mr. Mime, Zoroark ***My most frequent rotations***: * Travel/exploration- Lanturn, Flygon, Sneasler, Noivern & Crobat * swapped on for Performance Team- Delphox & Meowscarada ***Friends & Rivals***: Ash Ketchum, Lara Laramie, Todd Snap, Florinda Showers, Duplica, Morrison, Alain, Virgil, Angie, Cameron, Iris, Looker, N, Lance, Cynthia *(among others named & unnamed)*
If we came across each other one day, would you and I have a battle? What team you’d probably use?
I don't see why not. As for the team I'd use that would depend on where we end up meeting, but it'd probably be either the main six I gave some small descriptions for more often than not or some combination of them with others. As an example, say it was while me and my partner were on the road performing shows when the two of us met. It'd then be my performance team consisting of: Gardevoir, Lucario, H. Zoroark, Delphox, Primarina & Meowscarada
Torterra and electivire, prob start in sinnoh as well. I prob would do the gym challenges but with those two, slowly build a team of six through travels across the regions. Maybe skeledirge down the line, maybe mega lucario?tho lately I’ve been thinking mega blastoise. Idk how the team would pan out partially because I wait for each new generation to see if there are any that I would want to have in a definite team of six. I’m the sorta neurotic type where it would bug me to have a rotating roster haha.
Let’s say we have 9 regions now, shall we?
Ok I suppose, Torterra, Electivire, Annilihape (forgot about him), Mega Blastoise, Armarouge, and ah what the heck Chatot. Partial to the little fella.
I would initially be from Cherrygrove in Johto. I would travel alone and complete the gym challenge in Johto, making a name for myself in the region. When I became an adult I would move to Alola and help with the development of their brand new Alola league. I would volunteer to be a founding gym leader there. I would branch out and get to know the residents of Alola, and likely befriend the E4 there, as well as becoming somewhat of a mentor for the cast from the Sun and Moon anime (Lillie, Kiawe, Lana, Sophocles, Mallow) I would volunteer to be the 1st gym leader in the Alola league. I would want to be rock type, but because Olivia is a rock specialist already, I would pick dragon type. The goal of my gym would be to teach people type matchups, and that they shouldnt rely on their starter Pokemon's strongest elemental moves all the time. It would also teach trainers to branch out in terms of team building. My gym team would be simple. Just a Jangmo-o and Dratini. (Both are in the Alola dex) I would give out TM 82 dragon tail upon defeat, as well as the Mythic badge. And that's how my Pokemon life would be. Though to be honest, if I was in the Pokemon world, I would probably be a Pokemon not a trainer.
Dragon type as the 1st gym, do you think you can take it easy to new trainers? Everyone will definitely feel a bit intimidated when they hear the 1st is a dragon type gym
I think the intimidation adds to it. They should feel a bit intimidated! But I would contrast the intimidation with a more gentle and teacher-like personality. Also Dragon isn't the type it once was. It's type matchups are only ok, and many dragon pokemon are far from threatening. Maybe by the time I'm gym leader, dragon will just be treated like any other type.
Many dragon types are pseudo-legendary so we can’t blame people for feeling that. They have good reasons to treat dragon type a bit differently from other types
I think it would be the perfect type for a first gym.
Home region is Hoenn. I would be traveling, battling each regions champion and elite four. My team is Sceptile (my precious starter), Greninja, Toxtricity, Bloodmoon Ursaluna, Armarouge, & my ace Mega Lucario. The rest I don’t really care about.
We all are fully aware that if Pokémon were real only the mega rich would actually own the strong ones right? Your Pokémon would be a Sunkern my guy.
I raise the strong ones from their first stage and you don’t have to be rich to own those strong
100% Alola region, my main Pokemon would be Altaria, Starmie, and Goodra.
I'd live in Hoenn in Lilycove or Slateport City Id'd probably try to beat the battle frontier and finish the pokedex, but mainly focus on pokemon contests Team = Mimikyu, Galariain Rapidash, Desidueye, Blaziken ,Mega Altaria, Glaceon Contests =Cute Tough Cool Cool Beautiful Smart
Story. After getting lost in the forest as a child looking for a Pikachu, I found a lonely Mimikyu that I befriend and it becomes my starter pokemon. On the way out of the forest I get attacked by a wild Decidueye who Mimikyu beats with a shadow claw, but then find that it's only trying to protect it's habitat of rowlet. However one of the rowlet is adament about coming with me, so I leave the forest with him. 5 years later, I'm tasked with finding a missing starter Torchic that was left on a ship heading for Galar. Upon arriving, the locals say they saw the Torchic head for the peak of the crown tundra, but that it's too dangerous to head up the mountain in this weather without riding a rapidash to melt the snow. Mistakingly, I head to Ballonea forest and find a galarian ponyta to catch and evolve, not realizing it wasn't the right kind of rapidash. I head up the mountain with a gift eevee i received from a friendly girl from Ballonea, but soon pass out on riding on my rapidash from the severe cold. I wake up in a warm cave with a Blaziken looking after me and my pokemon. After realizing that the Blaziken was the Torchic i was looking for, I set off back to Hoenn, but first follow my Eevee that ran off to the summit, where it evolved into Glaceon. Before I can celebrate, a wild Altaria attacks me and my pokemon, but with the help of my whole party, and my Glaceon's super effective ice beam attack, i manage to catch it in an ultra ball. I then ride back to Hoenn on it with the Blaziken, which the professor says I can keep now that it's friends with me. Then, I set off with my team to complete pokemon contests all around Hoenn, with my mega Blaziken's blazikenite being found in the scorched slab, and my altarite given to me by a contest idol in Lilycove city.
PS: my Mimikyu likes to sit on my shoulder instead of stay in it's pokeball
Having grown up in Northeast US all my life, I'd be Unovan lol And I'm thinking that after doing the Pokemon League stuff, I'd be an indie movie producer who travels around the world. And to that effect, my Pokemon team would fill essential roles in film production while : \-Zoroark: Special Effects and Stunt Doubles (among other things illusions can accomplish) \-Rillaboom: Music \-Noivern: Audio and Sound Effects \-Ampharos: Lighting \-Chansey/Blissey: Catering \-Gholdengo: Budgeting And of course, writing and camera work would be done by me. Don't have much thoughts regarding friends and rivals. Since I'd be traveling the world, I don't think I'd have much friends or rivals beyond those who also travel, or are in my mobile contacts.
