>>42283076>starterSwinub, because it was the least threatening mon that lived nearby and I didn't want to piss of the Snorunt tribe, plus Piloswine is the GOAT.
>home regionSinnoh, because it looks like it has the most dangerous locations to explore; all the more fun to do it!
>home townSnowpoint, because where else would I get a Swinub, Mt Coronet?
>team>>companionPiloswine, obviously. Not in any rush to teach it Ancient Power and evolve it, but it is the first thing I do if I find a Heart Scale.
>>water travelSwampert, because it's a stronger Pokémon and it's able to get past obstacles many others might not, which is important considering how much off-roading I'm going to be doing.
>>air travelBraviary, because it's tough enough to carry me long distances and take some hits along the way, and it can fend for itself while I'm adventuring so maintenance is surprisingly low. It can also withstand colder temperatures that something like a Salamence might not be able to, and it's more convenient to train.
>>heat/warmthHoundour/Houndoom, because I need a couple of Pokémon that can eat a little less on my team with so many powerhouses and one that can find its way in the dark, as well as go foraying for things at all hours of the day. It obviously can't provide the heat itself for sustained periods, but it can light a campfire when I can't get a stick to behave or I'm at high altitudes, making radiating heat unnecessary.
