Where ever you see a Pokemon with the name PkMn, you'll know that it's been trained by Simon Locke, the hard way, boxing through the E4.

Thor said to Terl, in Psychlo, "The little girl over there is begging to shoot you."

I don't raise my Pokemon with 'care', I shove rare candies down their throats and force them to evolve. After this 'heartwarming' procedure I infuse them with Calciums, Steroids and whatever stat enhancing drug I can find. When they are all buffed up I dump whatever worthless moves they might have and use training machines to rob them of their originality. Then as the final act of 'love' towards my Pokemon I toss them in a deep dark unknown dungeon and force them to fend for themselves. Buahaha!

You can hug and kiss your Pokemon, even tuck them in at night, turning them into Carebears.

Or you can use unatural resources to turn your, otherwise cute little bundles of joy, into bloodthirsty killing machines bred in the darkest corner of hell!

You might have the ultimate pokemon team, a gameshark and one ugly set of Mewtwo... But I have your batteries.

I wouldn't have them on my team if I didn't like them. That's why I'll never have a Mewtwo or a legendary bird on my team...they'd never be my friends, they'd just be furious in their little Pokeballs all day long.

The way I see it, the point of the game is to take your favorite six and make them the best they can possibly be.

The only way I really don't follow my heart here is the limitation I have on having too many Pokemon of the same type and...well, as much as I like Magikarp (he's probably my third favorite or so), I just can't have him on my team. I have trained up one to L99 and he kicks ass...for a Magikarp, that is.

I enjoyed slaughtering my friend's team with just him when he was in his 50s and my friend's team was all pretty young.

Unfair, yeah, but totally demoralizing.

I'm sure his team would waste my Karp now, but they'll always know who once owned their asses.

They're my friends. Especially my Staryu and Flareon, both of whom have pulled off some neat against-the-odds winnage in Stadium. I feel kinda proud of them when they win; my head knows that they're just ones and zeros, but my heart says otherwise.

I got a little lump in my throat the first time my Staryu came out of its Pokeball in Stadium and did that oh-so-cool backflip. If it had said "H'ya!" like in the cartoon show, I'd probably have burst into tears.

Jynx
Gengar
Omastar
Tauros

And I may add one or two soon. These are the favorites:

Raichu
Sandlash
Kingler
Tangela
Pinsir
Lapras
Snorlax

Money is not a problem. Everything to my fav pokemon!

Project:Metronome

Back when I first got the game, I picked out Bulbasaur, and he helped me through the game ever since. He was in almost every battle...reaching L70 by the E4 while none of my others made it past 36.
I also have my old team of favorites... Pidgeot: L70, who has been neglected lately, Pikachu: L82, who recently learned Surf...and my two other Level 100s, Alakazam and Dewgong. Though most of them have terrible stats (like Dewgong's Speed...though it has almost perfect Special, and I'm not done BTing yet), I've had them since my first time playing, and I'd never get rid of them....

Plus there are others I used to use...Fearow: L42, who used to be my main flyer before he got replaced by Pidgeot at the E4...and Starmie, who made it past the E4 twice, once as a Staryu, once as a Starmie...he was ditched for Dewgong, so I could have an Ice-type. I might start using him again...didn't use that Psychic TM on him for nothing...

And then there's the newcomers to my team...

Back when I first started, I had no idea the legendaries + Mewtwo were one-shot pokemon, and passed up all of them.... Now, Articuno was one of my stars in the Poke Cup R2 on Stadium, and Mewtwo, though his stats are horrible, plowed through the Prime Cup and clobbered the R2 end Mewtwo...
One of my Stadium prizes was an Eevee with perfect Speed...the Poke Cup rental Jolteon was terrible, both in stats and moves, so I decided to send this one to Yellow for training. I gave it F-E, T-bolt, Sand-Attack, and T-Wave... it turned out to be the key to my Poke Cup R2 victory. All because of that T-Wave and Focus Energy that the rental didn't have...

Those are some of the main highlights of my pokemon experiences...I just got a new blue game for the purpose of capturing perfect (or at least close) versions of the one-shot pokemon...plus some of the blue-only Pokemon and some TMs...

Now though, my favorite Pokemon is my Jolteon named McCUTCHEON. I stole the name off of the episode of the Simpsons where Marge became a pretzel dealer. I am also attached to my Dugtrio, and to a lesser extent my Mew, MINIMEW (named after Minime in Austin Powers Spy Who Shagged Me).

It did indeed bring a tear to eye when I saw McCUTCHEON hop out into the Stadium for the first time, and he has this weird green tint to him, but I have grown to accept it as well.

I figured that I would always be a hardcore Pokemon battler, not caring about the Pokemon at all, and seeing them only as a means to an end, but that is not possible. Any longtime Pokemon Trainer will always remember their favorites, and will feel sick to consider them a string of 1's and 0's.

Although, I can't help but wonder how much better Pokemon could have been in the first place. I thought it should be an N64 game. An adventure game in which you customize your trainer's appearance from head to toe, and run through the world Mario or Zelda style. You would have to aim Pokeballs rather than relying purely on luck. Although odds would make tasks easier to accomplish, I can never keep myself from wondering as to how cool it would be, if you saw a wild Pokemon, but rather than trying to take it's picture, like in Pokemon snap, you could say Jolteon GO! Your character on screen would grab a Pokeball from his belt and toss it out. Jolteon would pop out, the camera would switch to battle view in which you control your Pokemon, rather than RPG style fights. The amount of damage you deal would still be based on all the things it is now, only you would be able to control the action. When the wild Pokemon is weakened, then you could toss a Pokeball and try to capture it. And you would be able to pick a Pokemon that walks with you rather than nothing or Pikachu. All in glorious High-Rez 3D Expansion Pak quality graphics. Oh well, maybe on Dolphin.

where does a snorlax sit?

anywhere he wants

...too bad the experience has since been tainted by running thru the E4 a million times.

But the first time Oak complemented me on my training and my bond with my Pokemon, I was all choked up...

That was the day Gastly left my team, the day I tossed Gastly in the Pokebox number 9. For failing me, he is damned for eternity, trapped in his Pokeball which is trapped in a PC.

Let this be a lesson to all you foolish Pokemon that would DARE fail me...

Put your life on the line,
Or be trapped in number nine.

Buahaha!

I don't think the people at Gamefreak were thinking "People who don't fight lots of monsters and love their pokemon aren't playing the game right, or shouldn't be playing it, etc", when they made it. :P
