@Rune_Alchemist Well... um... Okay! I mean, catching as many as possible is the idea in the game, but you're obviously free to roleplay as you like! ... So THAT'S why you wanted that wish-list, because unless you meet the Pokémon you really want, you'll be stuck with what you currently have, huh? Because you can't catch what you're half-hearted about... ... ... Hah.
Having the Pokémon in the PC is never once treated as a bad thing in the games, and as such it will not be in this roleplay either. I'd just like to point that out.
I mean, it might not be publicly treated as a bad thing, but that isn't likely to stop some people from perceiving it as...perhaps not bad, but questionable. Claire's certainly not going to like it regardless of how it's viewed by the majority of people.
And I mean, it seems to me something that Team Virtue might find bad or questionable at least considering their own motives. Why keep seven hundred or so pokemon in a PC/being taken care of by the professor if you're never going to use them? No one person has that much time on their hands to be able to do that. There's not enough time in the world to properly train that many pokemon.
But yes. That's why I like the list. Because unlike the last RP, Lynn who would have just caught every pokemon she came across for money and just for giggles regardless of what it was and use it, Claire's only going to catch pokemon she's 100% certain she likes. I've come up with a list of about twenty seven she'll like using. Aside from those, though, she's not going to catch any unless she's being forced to, to overcome some challenge...and then she'll probably release them/give them to someone else later.
And she'll feel terrible about it. Like, really depressed. Probably won't leave wherever she's staying for a few days. Is that you know, nice? Probably not, but Claire's a bit selfish and would only use/do things she likes.
But we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
Character development, ho~
@Delta44Ahahaha, thanks xD
I understand that this is more about story than realism and stuff. I get that, I do. that's why this really isn't a big deal for me, I just wanted to state my opinion because I have an opinion and everyone must hear it!~
More seriously, it's just offending my world building senses a bit, but that's fine too. It's not my world, not everything has to make logical sense to me. For example, in my opinion the system is set up is set up for trainers to research gym leaders teams, get pokemon perfectly designed to counter them, and then never use them again once they beat them. It just seems like to me, it promotes 'thinking of pokemon like tools.' You have to think of not only the player characters when building the world, but also how things would affect the NPCs and other random people of the world.
and pfft. Claire's gonna punch Ren if she does that to her. Like, seriously, just BAM, punched right in the face after using teleport to get right next to her xD
I think having these two starting out having a pokemon battle and then having it devolve into a fistfight would be hilarious xD
