How deeply invested do you get in pokemon on an emotional level?

Do you have "bros" that you take pride in or do you simply view them as data and means to play a game? Regardless of which, why?

I treat them like I'd treat Pokemon if they were real.

Not very invested, honestly.
I'm trying to change that with new personal policies (keeping a poke regardless of IVs and natures and whatnot), but eh.
And most instances of bro-feels are a sort of species-wide thing, not to a particular instance that I've caught

Hopefully Amie remedies it somewhat

My main team, especially my starter, get treated like bros. I can barely bring myself to transfer them across games, let alone save over them. Why? A combination of immersion and autism I suppose.

I only get attached to the 6 I use to take on the e4 and Nuzlocke bros.
Other ones I use for battle are basically just data to me, UNLESS they are shiny or have a nickname.

This, pretty much. I try to care for them more in nuzlockes and such but really it doesn't work. I think I think about the game too literally, I'm too aware of it as a game and how it works.

Not much. It's fun imagining if you were their actual trainer, for muh immersion, but I don't have any regrets deleting them when I need to delete the save or whatever. If anything, afterwards I'll be like "fuck, I just deleted like 100 hours of my time"

I've been EV trainng low IV/bad natured pokemon and while they're not the best in competitive, its still fun to use them casually or against scrubs. Sometimes it even encourages a little creativity.

Just something to consider.

i have an ursaring called rupert that took the place of my starter ever since he ohko'd lance's top dragonite when he was only level 43. i do tend to get attached if they do something special or i particularly like them, but otherwise they're just there

I do feel a slight connection with some of my Pokemon. My current HG team and my Charizard I solo'd Fire Red with come to mind.

And I can't really get attached to nuzlocke Pokemon. Knowing that they could easily die due to one unlucky dice roll really stops me.

>tfw always have 1 or 2 bros throughout pokemon playthroughs.

Kanto: Charizard and Gyrados
Johto: Typhlosion and Tyranitar

Everything after that was always a combination of 2-3 of those 4, Until I made bros with my Haxorus and Lucario aswell.

Had a Shiny Alakazam bro in Silver.

Best friend wiped my game when I was on 247/251 Pokedex

Lost Alakabro.

I have a sharpedo that I fully leveled to 100 and EV trained just to use as my "hm slave" knowing strength, surf, dive, waterfall.

He doesn't do too badly in battle, and he's a part of my team, I just wish HM moves were worth using.
