I don’t remember exactly and I can’t check because I gave my copy to my brother but from what I remember my frontliners were Ceruledge and Meowscarada.
When I was a younger I made up a dark type gym leader OC who’s thing is he acts like an edgelord when he’s on the clock but is otherwise pretty chill when he punches out. I always thought it was a pretty funny concept that I’d love to see in a game. So that’s me.
Were you ok otherwise, I’m curious about the whole edge-lord schtick as a lifestyle even while recognizing that we all get fed-up sometimes and spout some bullshit lol. Nobody is innocent or at least I know I sure as hell am not but I hopefully get downvoted if I have no articulable basis and its just as well
Yeah, I was fine. Mostly. Probably. I just thought it would be a funny concept to have a character like that who’s dark and brooding exclusively when he’s on the job, and is friendly to just about everyone the rest of the time.
I don’t feel like I’m to the level of Pokémon professor, but I do feel like I would be something along the lines of a Pokémon teacher or maybe the gym guy.
If I ended up in the Pokemon universe, I’d be fighting for Pokemon rights. Clearly, these creatures are fully sentient. They fluently understand human language, and even one (Meowth) can speak. We have no right to capture and force them to fight. Also, I would fight to help teach them human languages or unlock the secrets to their “language”, so we may better communicate.
We don’t “force” them to do it. This is repeatedly established to be something they enjoy doing. BW even has this as a plot point: N, a young man who is somehow able to understand Pokémon, is initially of the same point of view as you. To his astonishment, most Pokémon outright refuse to abandon their trainers. At first he chalks this up to some form of brainwashing, but over the course of the game he comes to realize that their desires to train and become stronger are in fact genuine. He ultimately decides it isn’t right for him to decide what they want for them, and spends the sequel targeting abusive trainers exclusively as opposed to tearing down the institution of Pokémon training in it’s entirety. >!There’s also some stuff about a bigger big bad grooming him to be the face of Team Plasma while he controls the group from the shadows, complete with strongly implied child abuse. Oh, and the reason the bigger bad wants to “liberate” Pokémon to begin with is so that no trainer can oppose his own team when he goes for world domination. You know, typical RPG stuff!<
Thats sort of a Gym Leader in a way or at least in line with Champion I guess. Like your sort of the Champion of that type or whatever the schtick is hehe
I’d be one of those forgettable NPCs who has one or two Pokemon who help me with chores and then we hang out in our small house. Squirtle would be my helpful, friendly bro. But I’d also like one of the dog ones to pet and snuggle with. Maybe Growlithe. Water and fire moves would be super handy in everyday life. They’d be occasional Flintstone appliances, but mostly something between pets and children. I would love them so much.
And then you assholes would walk into my house uninvited and be annoyed that I wasted your time by not giving you anything. Like bitch, you’re lucky you didn’t catch a Flamethrower from my boy Growlithe over here for breaking and entering. Don’t look in my trash can, you nosey fuck. Damn Pokemon gym brings riffraff into this town. The shit I put up with for free healthcare…
Rock/Ground/Steel gym leader. There are a lot of chonky lizard bois and I am going to love them all, even as a 12 yr old destroys my shit with a monotype starter.
I’ve always thought of myself as a gym leader. I’ve been doing martial arts since I was 10, I love Fighting types and Blaziken has been my absolute favorite Starter since forever.
I also really like the idea that gym leaders have a bunch of Pokemon ready to take challengers and different levels. Taking on some kid just starting out with Riolu while my Machamp and Bewear wrestle in the background sounds awesome.
I'm a pokemon breeder. You never get to fight me because I'm always telling you whether there's an egg or not, but if you got to see my perfect IV, perfect EV, perfect nature team, every single one is shiny.
And a side effect of all that needless effort is that I'm frickin loaded.
My appearance is the Alolan girls' (braids, cowboy hat, overalls).
Probably none of those. I’d probably be the big bad. For whatever reason when I was a kid and picked up blue I thought “friends? no I taught these monsters to be strong, they ain’t no friends.” When the friend secret mechanics came in I realized I hadn’t done anything but instilled Stockholm syndrome in them.
I allter them with drugs, use machines on them to force them to learn things. If they end up useless they stay in a box forever.
Pokemon are how I get rich, pokemon are how I get power, pokemon are how I enact control.
I am a filthy casual player, so I suppose I’d be a clueless tourist collecting endangered Pokemon who should be left alone, and stumbling into dangerous situations.
Still mad that they made the 3 team leaders so dorky looking in the last update of their clothing but Team Rocket so suave and cool in their outfits.
