>>28111690Still taken Pikachu, probably tried going full Pokemon Go! on at least the Ratatta, Pidgey, and Spearrows. (Distract with Berries: spam pokeballs! YOU HAVE TO GET TIRED OF FIGHTING EVENTUALLY, FUCKERS!)
Generally tried to stay equal parts friends and training partners with my pokemon. Still recruit Misty and Brock, especially after Team Rocket jumps me the first time and my only decent tiered Pokemon is my (likely still somewhat uncooperative) Pikachu.
Also begun training my own body alongside my pokemons'. How many situations could have been solved if Ash just knew how to kick someone in the groin?
Yeah, I'd be a fag and let my Pokemon go if they had a good reason to leave, though I'd LIKE to give them some means of contacting me and me them so I can ask if they'll help me out of a jam in coming leagues or something. Probably need a psychic for that.
