At home he has a preference for his own personal swarm, but in Pokemon land he can find each different one has their own strengths. Mostly he prefers those geared to actual battling because... Ledybas k-kind of suck. >> Maya finally evolved though, and he's pretty a-ok with her evolution + he does like Galvantula for the electric typing because birds. Just wait until he discovered Durants though. They're the closest to what he's used to, and will probably try to catch as many as possible to recreate bug nightmares. To answer the question: no, not really. There's no clear favourite as of yet.

He's taking his time hanging out in Ilex. The creepy theme music and camping out isn't a problem, and he's mostly capturing and releasing anything new he encounters. Eventually, he'll probably end up catching them all but at the moment he's just searching for ones that will suit the rest of his team. Although he has his Pokemon, this is the first time he's been travelling on his own and it's definitely noticeable. It's very quiet, for one. :'|a For someone who comes off as a solitary individual, he really does enjoy the company of his friends. He doesn't plan to be away for too much longer.

Creeper he doesn't mind, despite my inner commentary. Sure, the pokemon is odd and could do with less hitting on him/pervading his mind (pls), but it doesn't irritate him. It's a lot better now that Yumi's awake and can keep him occupied. Shino's somewhat grateful to him for helping out with Scyther too.

... THE MOST SUGOI.
