>>35363423I equivalate levels to age and 1st->2nd-3rd forms to child->teen->adult. Pokemon that evolve later than others also have longer lifespans in my head.
If I get a level 1 Pokemon in a trade that has egg moves I either delete them or breed them again so I only have their default level 1 moves.
If catch a Pokemon over level 15 I'll never use it in my party unless it's a nuzlocke.
I like raising Pokemon just for this autistic rp shit and have never cared about competitive battling nor the Battle tower/frontier/maison/tree.
