>>28522088Well thanks anon, that's nice. I only ever have my taste shit on, on /vp/ but that's the nature of it I guess.
I worked as an archaeologist when I was a student and am now studying to be an architectural historian, so the field-scholar thing has always been my self-insert in Pokemon.
If I can go my own way, I'd be out in that wide un-mapped space north of Ekruteak to the east of Mt. Mortar, studying how ancient cultures employed Pokemon in architecture--from conceptual importance to building method. It looks pretty cold up that way so rock and ice types would help for obvious reasons.. Maybe a fire type to help with long excursions? Ghosts make sense in ruins but having a psychic buddy could make sense as a scholar... I also don't like having a full team; it's always seemed comfier to only have ~3-4 close pals
I'd build my team like this:
>Espeon >Ninetales>Alolan Ninetales >Bergmite So Espeon would be my main scholarly friend, and oldest Pokemon. Bergmite would be me shoulder buddy and help out with finding out way in the north, like a natural navigator--intuiting the land, being my little extra set of eyes. Ninetales has always been portrayed in the Anime as having a historical/psychic slant to it--so it's cool that its Alolan form got fairy typing; it's like the line between history and mythology.
Ninetales' fire typing would help us keep our shit together that far off the map, and together with Alolan Ninetales, it would be like having two archaeological blood-hounds with complementary typing.
I wish there was a proper rock/ice fossilmon but I really don't dig the dinosaur.
What would you do, OP?
