>>43335152I always self-insert as the mc and pretend my rival is the girl who bullied me in highschool. I like to imagine I somehow was transported into the pokémon world and collecting all the badges and becoming the champion is the only way to get back to my world. Although using "shitmons" may sound stupid, I like to use them instead of ridiculous overpowered mons or shit like that, because I think the bonds between me and my team is what gives me victory at the end. Also, I like to say the orders I give to my mons irl, things like: "Now Kecleon, use scratch!".
My sister heard me doing this once but I didn't care.
