How do you make your pokemon characters unique? For physical traits do you give them markings, scars, special clothes? Maybe a special pokeball or other gizmo they hold such as an item? What else can make the description of a pokemon unique?
I've gotten the attitude and general description of the character written out, but in a world where all creatures of the same species look so similar save for gender and regional differences everyone is familiar with, it is challenging to make a pokemon appear unique. No shinies please.
