Does Shino have a favorite bug pokemon?
How is Ilex Forest for him atm?
Does he mind Creeper pestering him on a kind of weekly basis?
Are his eyes so sugoi and that's why he leaves them on all the time cause people will die at his sugoiness?

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.

NOT SORRY FOR THE QUESTION OVERLOAD

[notchinese]

Are you thinking of teleporting him to some other area, whether if he's with his ninja friends or not? :0

...so even if Shino's found out Creeper mentioned to people Yumi has a crush on the guy, would that opinion stay the same?

Also, what are Shino's thoughts on Yumi now compared to when they first met?

IT IS A-OK!

[aburame]

I am! He'll probably try to actually keep a bug from Ilex and then get teleported away during 4th wall beforehand sobbu. He will be wherever people want him during the event. As for afterwards? I'll wait and see what everyone else has in mind plotting-wise but if there's nothing, he'll probably end up in Azalea Town regardless whether anyone else will be there to defeat Bugsy when Kushinada's levels are on par with Scizor.

Well, his opinion won't change as in... it's not like he's suddenly going to reciprocate those false feelings. At first he's probably not going to even trust Creeper, because comrade zone and it's YUMI. From his observations in the opposite gender (Hinata, Sakura, Ino... Tenten), he thinks he'd KNOW if she did. Kunoichi are so subtle with their feelings haha. Afterwards, he'd pay even more attention for any indications of a crush. In the chance there was (probably Creeper's fault still) he'd maybe... bring it up to ask her directly whether she does or not. Obito's already broken him in so it's not completely wtf this time. He's watched Hinata's feelings go unaddressed for years. B'( Regardless, he's going to let her know that he considers her a good friend.

His thoughts... have largely remained unchanged. He doesn't judge on first appearance, but he got the impression she was level headed and reliable enough. Now that they've gotten closer, he's realised just how dedicated to her friends she is. The XANA stuff he suspects must have been difficult to share, considering she's kept it a secret for so long. I think he is a lot more concerned now that he's aware that she seems to regularly deal with people missing/dying/clones out to kill you when she claims she's still a civillian. He doesn't buy it of course, but she's not exactly a soldier either.

OOPS I went an expanded on the SUGOI one but then I couldn't edit so copypasta re: glasses!--
I wouldn't say he's self conscious about it, despite his insistence to keep them on. The goggles are mostly there because it's a clan thing and Shino is proud to have been born as an Aburame and he's always worn them. The reasoning is probably because obscuring one's eyes make it difficult for an opponent, or anyone, to figure out what people are thinking ala Neji style. He doesn't really have a reason to take them off, so he doesn't. B| If you were close to him, he probably would let you take a peek at his eyes if you asked nicely. Most people have just never attempted to ask 'cause it's Shino. Too bad it will remain a ~mystery~ forever in canon.
