I see people do this a lot. They draw a pic of themselves as a Pokemon trainer alongside their team in whatever game they're playing. It's something I've wanted to do myself for the last three gens or so, but it kept never happening (MOSTLY due to my lack of confidence in being able to draw Pokemon). But after spending a week doing some hardcore work on Rain - Volume 2, I just wanted to take a breather yesterday and do something NOT Rain-related for me. It was finally my chance! ^_^

When Pokemon Bank came out last month, I transported everything from my Black 2 game to a brand new file on Pokemon X. This started me off with a nice, meaty Pokedex of course. But the real reason I did it was so I could play through the game using a lot of my personal favorites (or at the very least, things that evolve from or to them) from start to finish. As it happens, most of the Pokemon I get most attached to often don't appear until later in the game, so this has actually made for a pretty enjoyable and fulfilling experience so far.

Milotic has been my personal favorite of mine since I first got one when I got back in Gen 3. And then, even moreso when I came up with the totally-not-true-but-kinda-cool-to-think-about theory about it. I also love Eeveelutions very much, but Sylveon and Glaceon are easily on top. My love for Dragonite stems from my earliest days with the series. Getting a Dratini that just never left my party for pretty much the second half of the game in Pokemon Red. Any game thereafter that featured that as an option was pretty guaranteed to end with Dragonite in my party. Gourgeist is perhaps the strange one. My love really goes back to Pumpkaboo for the most part (one the cutest Pokemon out there, in my opinion). I didn't like the evolved form at first. But now that I'm actually using it, I'm finding that Gourgeist is itself quite adorable.

One of the more fun aspects of playing with my faves the whole game too, is that I get super attached and creative, envisioning personalities and backstories for them in my head while I'm playing (I'm a writer; I swear this stuff just happens on it's own XD).

You might think it's strange that there are only five Pokemon there. The sixth member has been cycling through from a bunch of possibilities depending on the situation (sometimes just even leaving it blank). So thus far, these five really do make up my true team as permanent fixtures. I didn't really want to represent something I'm not really going to use in the end, after all.

And I just realized I didn't give my "trainer me" a bag. Well, crap.

Okay. Got that out of my system, now back to Rain. XD

[EDIT] - Just because it came up in the comments, I wanted to add that I haven't named any of the Pokemon in this team yet. I just haven't really come up with anything I liked on my own yet. But if people are interested, I'd be willing to open up the floor for name suggestions. ^_^
