>>28185005You ready for a story about Weavile? Yeah, I knew you were.
LeafGreen was my first game but Pearl was the first one I actually got into, at 11. (Nine years ago...time really does fly.) I caught a Sneasel at lake Acuity. Named her Nightshade, because it's a rad af name.
After beating the E4 I went to the Battle Park and aquired a Razor Claw. While screwing around in the fight area one late summer evening, I got the message that Nightshade was evolving. I watched as they became a Weavile.
I initially thought the feather crown was ridiculous, but as time went by and I watched how much ass my new Weavile kicked, I grew really attached to the 'mon. I eventually put them in higher party priority than my starter (Torterra) which among my friends at the time was basically heresy.
Nightshade eventually became my first Pokemon to reach Level 100. I've transferred them into every new Pokemon game I get ever since.
