Pokemon probs

[Zwitter-Ironic]

So I have a question, am I the only one who comes up with backstories/personalities/relationships for my pokemon?

For example I'm playing a monotype challenge, ground if you're wondering.

So I have Tsunami, my marshtomp who was my starter, he's best friends/it's complicated with Grim my nidoking. Tsunami isn't really much of a team leader but he's pretty sociable and is capable of getting grumpy ol' Grim to talk about his feelings.

Then there's Batgirl, a gligar, who was my first girl of the group and she's very protective of all of her teammates. She has always protected the new-comers and was the source of a few crushes until Taz, the geodude now graveler, earned her love. Batgirl doesn't always see eye-to-eye with Dragonfly and Grim doesn't like that she's always trying to be group leader but she's a good team mate.

Then there's Vesuvius the numel turned camerupt, who had a crush on Batgirl for a while until Dragonfly, trapinch turned vibrava, came onto the scene. He thought she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen. She didn't believe him but she did eventually begin to feel for him as well. When she finally evolved into a vibrava she declared that she was now worthy for her Vesuvius, to which he replied she was always worthy of him and that he always loved her.

Please tell me I'm not weird! I mean, come on it's just to fun to make up relationships.

I see no problem with it.

No, you're not weird for doing so. It's a lot of fun! mrgreen Most people at least nickname their Pokemon, so it's easy to get attached to them and make stuff up in your mind about them.

I can say this because a Pokemon fanfic project of mine is almost half a million words now. Relatively speaking, you're a fairly normal player.

yum_tea I've never made up backstories for my Pokemon, but I have made up OCs for the Pokemon universe and played them in RPs. I used to play a Team Rocket operative in one RP that I really loved, years ago, I think when Silver was originally released for the GBC?

Still, it sounds like a fun practice. I think Pokemon are supposed to be smarter than regular animals, so I can imagine them having complex stories and relationships of their own.
