>>55359041i think bibis ideal date is changes a bit depending on whether she did the asking. if so she probably really wants to do something she knows they're interested in, and considers it a success if she knows they had a fun time. alternatively if she got asked out she's honestly a bit more girlish about it and wants the attention on her but either way, she's guaranteed to have a good time if the other party indulges her in a battle.
altos ideal is "a hot babe with enough taste to appreciate the melodies I compose for her". no such babes exist
>>55361097I like it being a mix of established cries and animal noises but I'm certainly not opposed to them just saying their names/shorter versions of it since it's what I'm used to from the anime. I keep them at 4 moveslots when writing fights but trainers have free reign to swap them out between battles just like in the games, although i treat pokemon as being able to attack outside of established moves (as in, a pokemon doesn't need to to bite to well. bite) if i ever wrote something sort of region spanning fic i'd undo the regional parts of gimmicks since its more fun to see things like galarian trainers using dynamax outside their home region because its *their* gimmick.
