>>35455075>Psyduck in RTWas indeed confused about no weather and explosions constantly failing. Had Bulbasaur as partner, and I've never gone back to RT as I find Explorers better in every way.
>Phanpy in ExplorersI find him cute, so I picked him. Having the partner, mudkip, do the legwork was fine for me (Someone who just got a new body won't be good as using it as somone who's using their old one their entire life after all), and I enjoyed the added challenge. Listened to quite a few remixes of PMD2's final boss theme back then.
>Snivy in GatesExtreme aversion to anything romantic or sexual, even though
I did write an Explorers based fic with the lead character being a Snivy. 350k words, and not a single romantic moment.>Treeko in SuperIn spite of what I said earlier, I find Super to be a much better game than Explorers aside from the dodgy story, and even when it comes to story, Gates's one was a huge improvement over Explorers's. Grovyle himself was an absolute bore in the main story with all the personality of a bottle of ketchup, though he did get a bit better in the Sky episode. Shipping player and partner is kind of creepy to me due to the whole 'i used to be human' thing, and teeters into flat out paedophilia when it comes to super since the partner is explicitly a child.
