>>27991501OP here. I already grew attached to a bunch of pokemon, but this Slakoth was special. It's shiny, so that alone surprised me, and I caught it using that mechanic in which you approach them slowly.
He turned a boring playthrough into an amazin ride. I love a lot of pokemon, I buy plushies and things like that, but what I feel for this little guy is different. I found myseld training him on super training and grinding so we could beat the Dewford gym even if he had Truant and a type weakness. I trained him on Granite cave and made him fight Makuhitas; he got KOed once since I refused to switch and I felt really bad for it, instantly ran to the pokemon center and played with him on Amie. In the end we did it and he evolved into a kickass Vigoroth after the leader battle.
