i’d have one (1) little guy and that’s it. he’ll try his best in battle and he will lose

RANGER.

his team represents a sort of trickster team. ribombee and sylveon are like scouts (cute and alluring), mawile and hatterene are the muscle (scary. WILL hurt you), mimikyu is the right-hand man (mysterious, spooky), and grimmsnarl is the big boss.

there’s another, potentially better word than “archer” but i can’t remember it for the life of me

learning that the kalos starter pokémon are based on typical rpg archetypes (barbarian, mage, rogue) led me to think about how neat it would be if the gym leaders were fantasy archetypes!

why is he so long 😭😭😭😭 i love him so much but omg

- time travelling onion fairy
- dream-invading lucky star
- horse
- glittery mother of carbinks
- ghost-child k!lling machine

ideally, there’d be synergy with the secondary types 😅 but the only “perfect” starter trios are
- sceptile* / delphox / swampert
- venusaur, samurott*, blaziken/infernape/emboar

*i gave sceptile the steel typing
*i gave samurott the steel typing too lol

there aren’t a lot of fire-types starters i like so it’s been difficult working out which three to choose 😭😭😭 i also wanted the secondary types to interact well, but i don’t think that’s gonna happen :/

if anyone has advice or resources on the actual development part of it all, i'd greatly appreciate it 😅

oh yeah. this game is so so beautiful, and fun! i hope you enjoy it as much as i am!
