SPPF Time Out Chat 2: Electric Bugaloo

[gmoyes]

I still haven't had my first capture and in one of the oldest in the newest wave of players.

[Meetan]

Because it makes a pleasant change from having all your Pokémon respect you? My Shuppet is rude and sarcastic, and refers to me only as "Idiot Meat Sack". And I love RPing with her.

Um, lol, it was more of a kidding comment. My character's Pokemon for the most part think she's a bit ridiculous. She has a fear of her Torchic and her Bagon tends to ignore her to get things done. On another site I'm on, all of my character's Pokemon has some sort of issue, including a Cleffa that hates her and a Trapinch that doesn't trust her. I'm perfectly fine to role play different Pokemon personalities and I have no problem role playing with them.

[myahoo]

I haven't had my first capture either, but I'm hoping it'll be that Blitzle in my WI adventure.

[lilbluecorsola]

What was your first capture, and do you still have it?

Gumpy the Gulpin in the CG. I helped defend him against two guys whom he stole food from. Decided to keep him since he was my first capture, though I traded him briefly to Tess for a Shard Quest. Couldn't come up with a personality until recently, when I decided to model him after Detective Gumshoe from Ace Attourney. =3=

[Missingno. Master]

Mine is a cute lady Chinchou that gets even Lv. 100 Pokemon mesmerized by her lures. And she's got a nice personality to boot!

Yeah, I just realized, my Pokémon seem to have a thing for your Pokémon, don't they? First Marvolo, now Hebenon...

[Dark Searchman]

I know, there are other Pokemon in the bar... not that I'm going to question either Marvolo or Hebenon about their decisions. XD

[OkikuMew]

No actual "first capture" here either, and I've been registered two months ago! I'll wait patiently for it though, plus soon I'll have my hands full of my newly adopted Starly, Hawk :P

[Dark Searchman]

Yeah, just be patient, I had to go three and a half months without a zone capture, but it was worth it since I got a Pokemon I like.

[Missingno. Master]

I know, there are other Pokemon in the bar...

Oh, I know. My Venipede is in love with Celebii151's Venipede, and my Duskull is in love with Marion's Duskull.

not that I'm going to question either Marvolo or Hebenon about their decisions. XD

And that totally has nothing to do with the fact that both of them could very well kill you in your sleep if ever you did try to interfere in their love lives, right?

[Stark]

How many Pokémon from each region do you have?

Kanto: 9 (Eevee, Eevee, Flareon, Pidgey, Spearow, Charmander, Scyther, Sandshrew, Vulpix)
Johto: 2 (Typhlosion, Houndour)
Hoenn: 4 (Taillow, Grovyle, Blaziken, Poochyena)
Sinnoh: 3 (Luxray, Floatzel, Riolu)
Unova: 0

What was your first capture, and do you still have it?
My first capture was my Spearow whom I met in the Arcane Realm. Spearow was captured in the farmlands of Mediville after having attacked a young girl named Bella and her wayward Hoppip for entering his territory. Having been in the area at the time I battled Spearow with my Cyndaquil and eventually captured him after a difficult battle.

Regrets:
My one regret is not getting around to finishing my Dream World adventure due to RL getting in the way and missing out on my chance to add a Rufflet to my team. I only had one post left to make and I would have been good, but unfortunately I missed out on my chance.

[Dark Searchman]

Well, I wouldn't be worried about them as much as I would about Amethyst doing that. =P

[Itzatrap]

FB Regret
Only one I can think of is not scooping up the Togepi I saw the AC when I first joined. Can't think of anything else tbh.

[Charminions]

FB Regrets:

I sort of regret not picking Charmander as my starter instead of Torchic, because there was already a Torchic sitting in the AC when I joined and it could've easily been mine in a few weeks. Other than that, no. I've been pretty careful about every FB decision I make (plus I'm super picky when it comes to deciding what Pokemon to keep).

[Dark Searchman]

Most of the regrets I have are related to Amethyst getting out of hand in one way or another at the bar. Another one's not getting Thunder Fang for Sarkhan to deal with Charm's Corphish. That attack probably would've won the battle for me.

[takkupanda]

Woah! A wave of questions!

> Pokemon from each region
Kanto: 5 (Growlithe, Oddish, Tangela, Starmie, Grimer)
Johto: 0
Hoenn: 1 (Altaria)
Sinnoh: 0
Unova: 1 (Darumaka)

> Region of Origin
I'd say Johto, probably somewhere on the outskirts of Goldenrod City. Having said that, I am no fan of Normal type Pokemon, and also, I like Kanto Pokemon the most, but my character looks like it would most probably be from somewhere around there. Also, Silver was the first game I played and that's why I consider myself from Johto.

> Regrets
Not having read the Lanette's PC details and so not putting all candies/event items into levelling up Growlithe right from the start to get the slots.

> First capture

Region of Origin
My character was born in Hoenn in a small town near to Lilycove City. I met my starter Sableye on Mt Pyre. There's a very long story behind my character's start into the world of Fizzy Bubbles. I'm sure I posted it here once, probably in the FOTM or another similar contest. Basically I was going to start as a trainer at 16 (I was a late starter =p) had received my letter from Professor Rowan to get one of my starters. I went into Lilycove on a shopping spree. When I came back I found that Team Magma had unleashed a random attack on the street I lived on. My parents and little brother all died. I was distraught and became withdrawn moving to a little flat in Lilcove giving up on my Pokemon journey. One day after work I find myself hopping on a Ferry to Mt Pyre, I don't know what drove me there but I walked through the graves feeling all the emotions flood back. I sat on the grass on the hill outside and heard terrified screams of kids who ran past me. Turning back around I saw a pair of shining blue eyes. The Sableye tried to make me jump and scare me by pulling faces but I found it funny and started laughing. I couldn't stop, I hadn't laughed in so long. Sableye thought it was just as good as scaring and he spent the evening making me laugh. From then on we joined together, hoping to keep on laughing and find other ghosts who wanted to travel with us and keep the fun times rolling.

That was about it ^-^

What was my first capture, and do I still own it?
A male Abra in Fizzytopia. He was stalking Imp and I and was well disturbed. I battled him with Imp and defeated him before capturing him, part of me wanting a first capture another not wanting him inflicting others with his evil. Imp always questions why I kept him ... he's an evil SOB who dreams of the day of his freedom where he'll kill me and my team in bloody glory ^-^;;;

[Emp]

What was your first capture, and do you still have it?

Mine was Teddiursa. I completely forgot how it was one of my favourite Pokémon on my first playthrough of Gold, but I never really got a chance to use one because of its late availability in game. When I caught Honii he quickly became my favourite Pokémon and I love RPing with him :P

By the way, is anyone interested in my Shiny Torkoal? You'll be able to change his nickname.

>Region of Origin
Charlotte originates from the suburbs of Saffron City, though she's been to the central area enough times to get used to bright lights and loud noises and pollution. I like to imagine that she comes from a wealthy family (her parents have professional, well-paid jobs in the central area). I haven't actually thought about much past this point, so that's all I have, apart from how she got Vulpix obviously. Basivally my own life story, Pokémon-style =p Though I moved away from my hometown five years ago.

>My Regrets
Nothing in particular, though I slightly regret overbidding for my Poochyena in a trade. ^^;

[kaisap112]

How many Pokémon from each region do you have?

Kanto: 2 (Seel, Meowth)
Johto: 0
Hoenn: 3 (Skitty, Cacnea, Lileep)
Sinnoh: 1 (Shinx)
Unova: 1 (Purrloin)

Hey, only missing a Johto-Pokémon! :3


What was your first capture, and do you still have it?

Shinx, which I now call Elmira. I do still have her, I fought far too long at the Cloud Garden to just give her up! She's also so attached to Kitty the Skitty that I'd lose my face before she'd change owners...


Regrets:

Maybe I haven't been here long enough, but I don't have any.


Region of Origin:

Noriko comes from Celadon City - the Gym also being the source of her love for Grass-types and Erika-like elegance as well as beauty.

Speaking of which, is Erika too awesome or how come I don't recall a single other Gym Leader or Elite Four member who specializes in Grass-types?

[Thrain]

Speaking of which, is Erika too awesome or how come I don't recall a single other Gym Leader or Elite Four member who specializes in Grass-types?

There's Gardenia from Sinnoh and Cilan from Unova. But that's about it, I think.

As for the region of origin topic... I haven't really elaborated much on Eric's back story, but he was born in Ecruteak City. One day he found Blaze badly injured in the woods surrounding the town, and he nursed him back to health. They have been friends ever since.
