>>49196326Pokemon are quite varied in personality. Each species does gravitate towards some traits - ravenous Hydreigon, docile Slowpoke, mischievous Gengar - but there's always some room for difference. Well, except maybe legendaries, for obvious reasons.
Take, for example, Serperior. Prideful snakes, by and large, but that may be pride in ruthlessly striking down all challengers, rescuing and guiding travelers safely through her territory, getting humans to willingly surrender to his coils for awhile, or even being the most helpful service mon to his deaf Trainer he can be.
Of course, if you secretly desire that your Pokemon pin you down, tell you exactly what you will do and are not allowed to do, and reward or punish you based on how well you submit to their will... well, your Pokemon may pick up on that.
