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
