If you were a trainer IRL, what Pokémon would you have? Keep in mind you have to feed and deal with the little bastards.
I feel like if we’re talking realistically here, people are forgetting you have to also source the Pokemon in question. Most people aren’t globe trotting ace trainers, they’re limited to what’s around them and what they can realistically raise. As much as I’d love a goodra or a sigilyph or a volcorona, I don’t live anywhere where they’d realistically show up and they take a lot of attention to level up. Also like, most people tend to have only two or three Pokemon, because looking an entire team of 6 is a full time job.
I think I’d have a galvantula (or maybe more realistically a joltik) and a garganacl line Pokemon. Ones a common household pest that hangs around electronics and the other’s a giant guy made of salt who helps people and heals them. An electric type would probably actually help with my job and I’ve lived near salt mines before and an obedient Pokemon that can heal you and is big enough to assist with tasks sounds like a good choice for an assistance Pokemon. If I got to choose a third, it would probably be some sort of region bird because I like birds man. Maybe like a regional form of pidove. Spiders can catch their own food (and if not, bugs aren’t that hard to get ahold of), I already have plenty of bird feed, and like, does garganacl even eat? I guess it’d probably need salt? I mean I’ve got lots of that.
I’d love some sort of sea dwelling Pokemon, but unfortunately I don’t think they’re very easy to look after if you spend a lot of time on land. Omanyte would be great, but I don’t think fossil Pokemon are very easily accessible to the public
Yeah a lot of people would have to play like an NPC with anywhere from one to three pokemon. Taking care of 6 is hard. Different types have different foods they like and needs. You will also have to carry that with you plus your supplies. If it was up to me I’d sstay with one pokemon only. I’m a fan of solo runs, its just hard to pick only one.
As a trainer, I couldn’t afford a crock who rocks a whole ass pizzas as a snack. Snorlax is a king, but imagine feeding that as it snoozes all day.
I think I’d be a bird or bug trainer, they don’t eat much. Maybe even grass enjoyer for the photosynthesis
That’s the problem with a full team, they are expensive to take care of. I don’t know how trainers care that much food for themselves and their Pokémon plus other supplies.
I love hyper-engineered game features. I want a full hunger, thirst, mood, wildness, attachment, happiness, height, weight, training, diet, wants, needs system in Pokemon.
Yeah that would be great pokewilds has some of the things I want. But it has to be done right or else you have a character constantly eating and drinking. That happened to me in skyrim, I was always eating and sleeping.
Haunter has always been my fav and I just realised that some of the Ghosts make for very cheap companions.
I like orb shaped Pokémon, so thevonly one who would give me issues would be voltorb/electode with my computer. Cutiefly is my absolute favorite, and would make the best emotional support Pokémon.
