hey guys i've been playing through pokemon black and white (i borrowed a copy of white from my local library) and every time i play these games i always do it with a "Pip" and "Fluffy". Since the game would be unplayable if I kept Fluffy as a Swablu, I allow myself to evolve him into an Altaria when the time comes, but the whole point of Pip's character is that he doesn't evolve, because he just can't. Therefore, anytime I play a game that has Piplup in it, I use it without evolving it and treat it as my main Water-type Pokemon, sometimes even replacing my starter.
My question is this: I'm getting to a point in Pokemon White that it's getting a little too difficult for me to keep playing with Pip as he is (if I could only give him custom stats, I'd give him higher bulk and special attack with a small boost to speed so he'd be able to take more hits without being so helpless). Should I evolve him and forget about my little "anime challenge"?
I feel kinda bad, but since White isn't my game anyway, I don't feel as bad as if it were my own game, Pokemon Black or Black 2. I don't intend to evolve him in either of those games. Plus, if I evolve him in White, it would be as though, in another universe, Pip was born with the capability to evolve. I'll be able to teach him moves I couldn't teach him as a Piplup and pass those on to future eggs if I want to do any further breeding. It's just that I keep hesitating anytime he levels up and keep cancelling the evolution.
I've kinda found myself at a crossroads here...
#🌸 ~ out of character ~ 🌸#pokemon black and white#pokemon black and white 2#unova has been giving me lots of cool ideas for sylvia too btw#i always think of sylvia as living within the world of the anime#where she travels parallel to ash but only actually sees him once or twice until kalos#ash's unovan adventure was interrupted in japan bc of the incidents that took place like the earthquake#so the continuity was a little bit messed up#so i thought it would be interesting if for once sylvia was the one who saved unova the first time around rather than ash#normally ash is the one who deals with the main games and sylvia either misses it by coming too early or by arriving too late#but this time sylvia could befriend n cheren and curtis#and she could be chosen by reshiram while n is chosen by zekrom#and team plasma could be the real threat they were meant to be#sylvia would gain courage by trying to show n the truth he missed chasing his ideals#and in the end#when team plasma is defeated#sylvia will ask reshiram to stay with n and teach him about the truth of the world she saw whilst traveling#n will abandon his ideals and zekrom will fly off doing its own thing#until it's attracted to ash. both because of pikachu's power and because of ash's dream-- his ideal-- to become a pokemon master#from then on n decides to seek the truth and build his ideals based on clarity#sorry this is so long#it's just this took a lot of playing and interpreting to get to#sylvia's adventure through unova does get interrupted halfway through because of what happens in sinnoh#which only makes the conflict worse#and it challenges her resolve#at first she loses hope and doesn't want to continue#but she notices that n misinterprets her feelings and realizes she can't afford to be swayed by cyrus in this moment#because n needs to know the truth more than anything#she basically spends the latter half of her journey chasing him around trying to clear things up#i also want cheren to get a more proper character arc than what he got in the games
