Pokemon has grown into such an amazing franchise, with over 720 Pokemon available to the community, a vast number of regions, an endless array of Leaders, Trainers, and more... but the one thing that seems to be lacking from the game itself is how people bond with the game. Sure, the sentimental of one of the games being your first game, or being the first game you managed to beat means something, but do your Pokemon mean something. Have you ever just felt bonded to your Pokemon, does naming them actually make them more important to you, do your Pokemon feel like a family, or are they simply something you use to win?


For me, every time I catch a Pokemon, I do my best to take the utmost care of them and avoid letting them faint at all costs. I can't imagine how much Pokedollars I've spent on them just to stay stocked up on Potions, Fresh Water, and all that good stuff. Heck, I've spent my fair share of Pokedollars on Antidotes, and believe me, it feels worth it. Of course, it increases the game's difficulty a bit, but overall, it just feels like I'm doing what is right for them and not so much for myself.

Indeed, becoming the "Pokemon Master" is an amazing, and beating the Elite 4, Gym Leaders, and all that is truly a blessing onto itself, but knowing that my team isn't suffering as much as most teams do, greatly means a lot to me. Truth be told, I really wish there was a ROM hack where we didn't have to fight Pokemon, where we could just kick back and relax with them, play Pokemon mini-games and chill.

I don't know, maybe it's just me (most likely), but when it comes to these games, I feel very close to the Pokemon I have, I feel as if they are more than just a team and more than just a battle party, but I feel they are like family, they've been there for me when my real life wasn't and for that, I am grateful to have them. Sure, I'm still playing the old school GB games in real life on the actual console, and indeed I'm playing everything else on PC, but even so, they mean a great deal to me, and I was just curious if anyone else actually cared about their Pokemon, or are you simply just playing the game cause it is entertaining? Do your Pokemon mean more than just your team to beat the next rival, the team to beat the next Elite group, the team to beat the next Team _________... are your Pokemon more than just a team?

They're my team... I remember the first Pokemon I ever raised to level 100- a Typhlosion, which I nicknamed Blaze after that. The first one which I EVER caught- an Excadrill...

I've felt bonded with most of them. Even on PH, the first Pokemon I hatched after my starter is in a special box, and will never be sold.

Personally I bonded with most, if not all, of the Pokemon I've caught in the games. I don't really nickname my Pokemon, unless it's my Jolteon, or I get a shiny charizard, but I do care deeply for them. I mean when I roleplay my OCs team is the exact same team I have in X. Which is Jolt, my Jolteon, Dusk my charizard, Cyndaquil, Dragonite, Lapras, and Chesnaught. I even bonded with my starter in this game, and gave my Typhlosion the nickname Hinoarashi. Which is Cyndaquil in Japanese I gave him that nickname to capture what he means to me from a Cyndaquil. To a Typhlosion. He's still my starter. Another thing I do in the newer games is play pokeamino until they have the maximum happiness in the amino, and I even feed them regularly. My sister thinks I'm strang because I do that, but I don't care. In the end my Pokemon have been more than my team, but my friends, my family. I know it's almost impossible because they're game characters, but I think there's one thing in your life that you can bond with, and love even when the characters don't exist. Be it a book, movie, or game. I care about my friends so much I went out of my way, and hunted down most plushies for my Pokemon X team. (I'm missing Lapras, And Chesnaught for plushies) (Sorry long post. That's truly how I feel about Pokemon)

I remember playing my Pokemon X, this time with intenet connection. I wondertraded pretty early in the game, and got a Ducklett. I thought Ducklett was rare, and praised that ducklett like a god. It would grow faster than the others, and I could always trust it. It wa's the one I defeated the most of the elite four with, and I still use it to this day, because I loved it so much.

I will also try and bond with atleast one Pokemon from sun and moon, I think it will be my starter.
