What's your autism?

What's that self inflicted rule or limit or quirk you impose when enjoying the world of Pokemon?

For me, I do not use starters or legendaries in competitive teams, even when it's smogon. I just don't like it and can't bring myself to use them.

I am not allowed to EV train, breed or cherrypick natures among caught pokemon until post E4 content: if I see something I want on my time I catch it and that's it (with the exception of abilities, those I allow myself to pick, counting them as different pokes)

after that, I can comp-fag all I want, but my bros will stay my bros no matter what (and will even be unique, who cares if they are not viable in competitive)

>Catching pokemon in similarly colored balls
been breaking that one recently as my Solrock is in a dive ball
>Doing entire Looker story using on a Beheeyem and a Magnezone (alien and ufo huehue)
this made it 100x times better as it was hard and felt like a new game entirely. would recommend.
Otherwise ive been less autism than usual this gen

I do this too. Don't really get into online play/breeding until I've clocked the main storyline.

Apart from that, I'm pretty mild on the autism (I hope???)

If there's ever a 'imagine yourself in the pokemon world/make yourself a gym leader' thread, I don't put starters on my team, because it seems they're reserved for assistants taken on by pokemon professors, not just anyone.

I don't use legendaries on competitive teams either.

Also I waited until I'd bred all the bros I wanted to do the Looker story so I could do something story-wise with them and not have them be just for PvP and Maison.

Dunno if it counts but I try to catch'em all. And by that I mean I try to get a Spearrow, then a Fearrow, and put them in the boxes, so that my storage looks like the pokedex. Of course, shit like starters has to come from other means.

I do the same thing.

I also am working on finishing up a project right now in bank -- I have all the Pokemon present in order, save for some fucking event pokemon like Meloetta, Keldeo, Genesect, Arceus, and Shaymin.

I have actually never used weather because of this shit...

I just can't use two pokemon that share a type on the same team. I guess my teams are generally pretty balanced because of that, but sometimes it bothers me.

I like having 12 different types in one team, but still.

I- um.

I have to color-coordinate my Pokes sometimes. I like things to have patterns, and I think the team just looks more coherent if they all have something (almost) in common.

I- also won't use mons that are "ugly". People have bitched at me for not giving things a chance, but if it's ugly and doesn't evolve into something wonderful, it can kiss my hot, toasty buns.

I can't bring myself to use the recommended sets. It's not a hipster thing, but I like to have a twist.

Instead of Flare Blitz on my Talonflame, I've been running Will-O-Wisp with mixed results.

I thought "autism" was the new "oh, i'm SO OCD" and then thinking OCD is the equivalent of liking things to be tidy.

I just kind of blur over it.

Partially correct. Autism in /vp/ can also mean something you don't like. Of course, if it's used in this manner, then it does mean something around the lines of OCD.

I think this is fairly common. Something feels weird about being cookie-cutter all the time.

It's not wrong, but it's weird.

I don't use legendaries, ever.
No dragons either.
Final team always needs a ice type by the end of it.
If the starter, in my opinion, looks feminine enough, reset until I get a female.
Final team constantly consists of 3 males and 3 females, non-gendered can count as either.

That's not weird. That's- kind of neat, actually. Nicknames give them "personality".

It's a little nerdy at best.
