>>50985588Okay so I only got the first 4 done so far but I need to get some sleep. I'm putting way more thought into this than any sane person should.
For my companions I've been mostly picking Characters of the Day from the anime with the except of Gen 3 where I picked Terrell and Marina from Battle Revolution because of their respective Groudon and Kyogre themes.
The reason I chose CotDs was because I was thinking about how these characters have entire lives that predate meeting Ash and continue after Ash parts ways with them and I like the idea of exploring those lives that Ash only caught a glimpse of. My idea is that my character is on a journey parallel to Ash's and within the same canon so he either meets his companions after Ash does or the companions run into Ash while they're having a brief solo adventure.
I'll do the next four if this thread is still up tomorrow.
