>>32166401Raticate
Not even trying to diss you or anything, 2bh. You just seem like a scrappy, down-on-his-luck kind of guy, who don't take shit from nobody, even if you were born in a gutter and everyone else looks down upon you for it. I think rats (and by extension, raticates and stuff) are rather admirable creatures, rather than something to be feared or reviled. Yours, in particular, is not the picture-perfect raticate most people see in the video games and pokemon cards; yours is lean and scarred, loyal only to you, and those you call your family. He's sweet and caring, but he has a hard time putting his trust in newcomers. Good luck with life, anon.
Also, just as a heads up, I feel like realistically speaking, most of us would have relatively mundane 'mons as our bros, except for the few exceptional people in this thread who like to travel/adventure/are rich/etc.
>>32166551Manectric
Got him as an Electrike, but as time went on, you two grew together. Btw, how would evolution work IRL? Would they also glow and just change right in front of our eyes, or would it be more realistic, and they'd gradually change with age and experience, over time? I like to think it's the latter. Seems more fitting to your life story. I also chose him for you, because Electrike/Manectric strikes me as very aesthetically European/German, with that very stoic, serious look about him. Composes himself almost like a professional or a bodyguard when in public, but at home, he's kind of a softy. Maybe he was a gift from one of your German relatives or something? I'll leave the actual origin story to you.
>>32166660Arbok, used to be an Ekans.
Likes to fug around close to your computers and stuff, because warmth. Kind of an oddball because moving around and domestication meant he wasn't able to associate or understand other wild arboks with much success, so he's the arbok version of an awkward NEET. Folds his cobra hood back because draws too much attention, and awkward.
