THE ALL PURPOSE POKéMEME

We've had plenty of memes about our characters in the past, so why not something a little different? After all, Pokémon is a huge part of what makes Route so special.

Feel free to use this meme to:

- Talk about your characters' teams!
- Plot for Pokémon CR
- Discuss any headcanon you have about certain species or Pokémon in general
- Discuss ideas for Pokémon related shenanigans
- Take suggestions if you're struggling with a Pokémon's personality, what Pokémon to get your character, or anything else!

The sky's the limit, folks, so have at it!

Since Dimitri has so few Pokemon and I need to flesh them out anyway, I'll start with his team. Basic starts are here.

Tabitha the Shuppet is Dimitri's starter. She's what you'd expect from a ghost Pokemon: mischievous as all hell. She absolutely loves hanging around Dimitri because he seems to be full of negative emotions 90% of the time (he's a very stressed out guy). She also likes to get in his way when he's trying to work. If you're with Dimitri and stuff starts moving around on its own, it's probably Tabitha being a brat. Despite her attempts to annoy Dimitri, it actually doesn't work very well so now she spends most of her time just trying to get his attention.

Crow the Murkrow is pretty much the exact opposite of Tabitha. He likes to do his own thing while Dimitri's preoccupied. He thinks Dimitri is kind of boring and wishes he took the team out to battle more often...or at least do something exciting. Researching all the time is so boooring! Dimitri kind of caught on to Crow's desires, so he lets the Murkrow wander around outside while he's working. Little does Dimitri know of all the trouble Crow gets into when he's not watching.

Scarlette the Ponyta is Dimitri's first non-starter and to be honest, he sort of doesn't know what to do with her. He received her as an egg for the newbie deal at the breeding center, and he figured a pony-like Pokemon would be a good choice for traveling on. He tried not to question why a horse hatches from an egg in this world, and simply helped her learn how to walk when she hatched. However, he was not expecting the mane of fire to grow out of her an hour or so later. That kinda threw him for a loop. Even though Scarlette is very docile and will probably never burn him, he's still hesitant to touch the mane for the time being.

Here is a list of Pokemon I have planned for him to get at some point. He's going to have his own little gang of typical thug-like Pokemon with Crow (to be renamed Boss when he evolves) at the helm because mafia shenanigans.

As for plot ideas...idk. If anyone in Goldenrod wants to do something with Crow stealing their items and Dimitri scolding him for it, we could go that route. Or maybe someone can convince Dimitri that he's not going to die horribly for trying to ride Scarlette when she's big enough?
