>>55413117I'm bored, so here's some scrapped Alex lore.
>Originally, Alex's Weavile was supposed to be able to talk. This was scrapped because it would undermine Alex's view of Pokemon being tools.>Alex fronts a metal band that is known for its usage of Pokemon in live performances. This was scrapped because it would undermine Alex being distant from his Pokemon (and Pokemon in general) as well as the touring fucking with his story.>Alex was originally supposed to be a deathcore kiddie, he now just basically listens to the same stuff that I do (not a self insert fyi). This was scrapped because I don't like deathcore that much and because it would also be unbefitting of his character, if you know what the average deathcore fan looks and acts like.>Alex goes by the name of "Ill Ender" when speaking to criminals and other people who mess with him, in reference to how he likes to humiliate his opponents. This was scrapped for being too edgy.>Alex's Weavile is nicknamed "Vicer Exciser", shortened to Vice, and his Revavroom is nicknamed "Devil Driver", shortened to Driver. This was scrapped for being too edgy and implying that Alex places value on his Pokemon beyond their use to him. >Hubert (aka "Samuel Wolfe", the villain of Alex's story) was originally supposed to continue to be fat and ugly when Alex faces him. This was scrapped because I couldn't make him with a Picrew and also because him losing weight was supposed to symbolize his immorality festering, as well as making him unrecognizable to Alex. He was also supposed to continue using his name, but this was scrapped for the same reason and also because "Hubert Hane Huges" is comical and also stupid.>Hubert/Sam was supposed to have a girlfriend named Alyssa that was also second in command for Terrorfive. This was scrapped because I couldn't get her outfit in a Picrew and also because it wouldn't fit Sam character, as well as just making writing easier. She looked like a combination of Perrin and Phos.
