OK, a while back, Ryan"TheSeaKing" put up a thread regarding people and their inseparable pokemon from the video game series. I'm going to revive that with this new thread, but for a different reason. I decided I would take some of those stories and weave them into a fan fic I've been contemplating for a short while. As a result, I will use this thread as my "inspiration" thread for ideas for my story.
So, share with me your stories of pokemon you wouldn't play the games without, and they may be intertwined into my story! But only if they are "good" - that is, not just "I met this pokemon and I liked it," - that is NOT a workable story. Also, it's important to note that this is NOT a "what's your favourite pokemon" thread - this is a thread to discuss the pokemon you feel strongly about after going through *insert story here* for them and *insert second story here* they have done for you.
Got all this? It's not that hard really. I'll give you a few examples I gave in the last thread, to get you started:
I've always been a fan of Eevee and its evolutions, in particular Jolteon (I'm an Electric fan first and foremost). Back when GSC was the latest out, I got the Eevee that Bill gives you, as you do. It happened to be female too, so I got raising it. It took till around lv 45, but it FINALLY evolved into Espeon... that Espeon was a core player in ALL of my decent teams from then on. It even had Bite - talk about awesome for GSC!
Next would be a more recent one... as you can tell from my sig, I have a major soft spot for Absol (Dark types are my second love, and I often use more of those than Electrics now). Now, I wasn't buying into RS for a long time... I actually wasn't going to at all, but my friend (who is also the owner of a TCG market stall and a major pokemaniac) let me play his Ruby game for a while. He was outside Fortree at the time, so I milled around the grass for a bit to see what I could find. About 10 mins before I had to go home, I found Absol... the buggar was only just caught in time, but it looked SO awesome that I knew my heart was still in the game. I got my mum to lend me her Ruby (as she had Sapphire as well, so I got to borrow Ruby) and I played through it. I caught myself an Absol and trained it up... such wicked attack power it has too! I've bred through it a little and I know have another one being trained up which is PHENOMINALLY evil for power...
Anyways, the next poke I have a soft spot for... quite possibly my fave (and most raised) pokemon is Gardevoir. This was another one that I saw in the game, and I knew that I HAD to have one. So, I took the time to find out where they came from and got Ralts. It took a while to raise, but I still have the lv 100 Gardevoir she became... it has a really awesomely strong HP Water, which really helped me at the time.
The other RS poke I fell in love with was Miltoic. I tried to find Feebas myself for AGES, but no luck. Then, my mum actually FOUND one, but it was MALE. At this time, FR/LG weren't out, so we were a little gutted. Then... she found ANOTHER one; this time it WAS female. I bred them for Dragonbreath and we went from there. Then, back when I first learned about EVs (around 1 year before D/P... which was annoying) I raised my proper Milotic up, and she has been a staple in my teams ever since. Combining with Ninetails (another of my old-school faves), they can confuse both opposition right from the start. If I know she'll have a special attack launched at her, she can Mirror Coat it. I should raise another one for more defense I guess, but... I love my Mild one too much! It has virtually max speed and Sp.ATK IV's... can't complain too much ^_^
Obviously this isn't the ONLY way to write these, but it's a good start if you're unsure.
So, let's see (for the 2nd time) how the people of pokebeack bond with their pokemon!
EDIT: OK, so it was brought to my attention that I should credit the original idea by posting links to the pages that gave rise to this. Which is fair enough - I hadn't thought about that since I was essentially just "reviving" a dead topic. After all, I know there's rules about not being able to post in old topics... so I needed to make a new one for this.
Anyways, here is the inseparable pokemon thread, and this is the original thread regarding Ryan's lost Wailord, Greatblue. If you want to know where the idea of this thread originated, there's where you look. Oh, and this is the link to my story - the whole reason for me reviving this thread. After all, this thread is meant to be inspiration for this story. I also NEED reviews on this thing... so help me out please!
Just remember that I only put this up because you can't revive old topics - otherwise I'd have posted in the original one.
