>>58903484I was going for Pokémon from the platinum dex when building teams.
Also, here’s some more details on Vesper. He was originally an aimless bum who work odd jobs and was a charismatic and mildly hedonistic, hippy stoner type. He finished his Pokémon journey when he was younger and graduated high school but just sorta never got his shit together afterwards, assuming his natural charisma would see him through and things would just work themselves out. Given that Sinnoh is base on a region of Japan, this meant he was kind of on the fringes of society and, despite his charisma and amicable nature, he had few friends other than his Pokémon. Thus, he joined team galactic thinking he could find a place to belong and make some cash, and also assuming that team galactic was one of those fun, free-love and drugs cults. His team initially consisted of a Clefairy, Crobat, and Lopunny. He later adds an umbreon which he evolves from an eevee that he obtained as part of a pr scheme for the new galactic energy company. As for his personality, he’s gregarious and friendly, if a bit of a bum and slacker. He’s also a flirt and prone to being easily distracted by a pretty face.
