Character Development Thread

[thunderblade12]

This thread isn't for captures or battle; just personality development for the existing characters. Both pokemon and human characters.


- Do you think Chimchar will keep its quirky/afriad/emo personality after defeating Paul? There could possibly be a filler arc after the Sinnoh saga and that would be a lot of time with Chimchar after it may have already made peace with its history with Paul. Even after evolving it might gain some confidence, I can't see an Infernape trying to hide from Paul behind Ash's leg. What about blaze? Will it wait to master it when it is a fully evolved Infernape, will it master it as a Monferno or before it evolves at all?


- Will Swinub be the stubborn/irritated kind of "disobideient" like Charizard or the fat/lazy kind of disobidient like Snorlax? What will break it of this habit?


- Will any personality development come from Buneary's crush on Pikachu?

- What can be done with bland pokemon like Sudowoodo and Pachirisu?

- Grotles defense training?

- Croagunk's rivalry with Toxicroak

- Ash's pokemons rivalry with Paul/Jun's pokemon?

-Can Brock teach Happiny how to be a great healer like the Chansey at pokemon centers?


Thats the kinda things to talk about in this thread

 

[mew-the original]

I'd like to see the Buizel-Croagunk feud fire up again. It lasted what, one episode?

 

[Silver Scizor]

Haha, well im pretty sure we can't do anything with Sudowoodu.

I think as it evolves into Monferno and Infernape, it will start to gain confidence against Paul, and will be used as revenge to take out Magmortar/Torterra

- Will Mamoswine be the stubborn/irritated kind of "disobideient" like Charizard or the fat/lazy kind of disobidient like Snorlax? What will break it of this habit?

Fixed. At the moment, Piloswine is disobedient to Dawn (from what I remember hearing) and I want Dawn to work to get its obedience, it makes for some good episodes ^^

- Will any personality development come from Buneary's crush on Pikachu?

I think it will mostly continue in the form of cheer leading, and if Buneary evolves into Lopunny, I'd like if it reversed into Pikachu (and other male Pokemon) started to fall in love with Lopunny.

- What can be done with bland pokemon like Sudowoodo and Pachirisu?

Not much, unfortunately. Sudowoodo is pretty much doomed, and the only way I think Pachirisu can be salvaged is by a 5th-gen evolution.

- Grotles defense training?

I think they might have a few episodes of special training. Ash needs to learn how to use a successful tank.

- Croagunk's rivalry with Toxicroak

It will last as long as Croagunk stays in Sinnoh. In the final fight, Croagunk shall reveal victorious.

- Ash's pokemons rivalry with Paul/Jun's pokemon?

Ash's Pokemon will defeat the rivals in the league, only to be pwned by a wtfNando.

-Can Brock teach Happiny how to be a great healer like the Chansey at pokemon centers?

Maybe, but first, I think she should evolve.

 

[thunderblade12]

Ash:
- I'd like to see him develop an aura bond with Pikachu. No Riolu for Ash. Sharing a bond like that would probably make the pokemon stick around forever. Since Pikachu's gonna be around forever anyway and since it doesn't really have much else to learn in Sinnoh I say Ash and Pikachu should try to synchronize their aura. And no, I don't mean Pikachu will learn aura sphere, Ash and Pikachu would just be able to read each other on a deeper level and would benefit from that in battle.
- Pikachu, same as Ash. Not much else can be done with it. When Buneary leaves it should finally realize that Buneary liked him and feel bad for ignoring it. It should defeat Paul's Electivire
- Gliscor should learn how to glide completely and defeat Paul's Gliscor
- Chimchar should evolve and gain a bit more confidence. Through gaining this confidence it will be brave enough to attempt to master blaze. As an Infernape its "issue" to overcome will be mastering blaze once and for all, while it will during its battle against Paul. It will probably also learn blast burn and flare blitz. It should also develop a rivalry with the "superior" pokemon who took his place on Paul's team, Magmortar, Flint's Infernape and Jun's Empoleon. After beating Paul it will be confident and happy with Ash.
- Buizel should develop a rivalry with Paul's Weavile and eventually defeat it. Its rivalry with Croagunk should spring a battle someday where the two make up at the end. It should defeat Lucian if there is an E4 arc.
- Grotle is simple, it should learn how to utilize its defense effectively. Torterra can be like his more power father figure.
- Staravia should develop a rivalry with Paul's Honchkrow and beat it eventually.

Thats the kinda things to talk about in this thread

1. Well, I think Chimchar's emoness and being scared of Paul will be resolved by the time he's an Infernape at the league and crushes Paul. I hope he evolves and masters Blaze as a Monferno, and meets Flint, who would be an Elite 4 member and a psychologist, around Sunyshore and after an extreme therapy session involving Ash, Flint, and Monferno talking and sorting out Monferno's tragic past and then Monferno evolves to save Ash from Team Rocket.

2. I'm thinking more of the 'Snorlax' kind of disobedient, but I think it'll be resolved within the upcoming episode. I'd like it if he doesn't evolve straight away.

3. Well, I'm hoping Buneary evolves and gains a small diva personality, and that she gets over Pikachu, but all the males fall for her. Except for Croagunk. He doesn't fawn over her. FrogPrinceshipping!

4. Well, when Bertha appears, I want her Sudowoodo to fight Brock's for some character for Sudowoodo. Maybe show a little more of his idolizing Buizel. As for Pachirisu, win a Contest and have another one of the fun episodes.

5. Will continue. Probably will learn Rock Polish. However, Grotle will begin to look up to Torterra, and see the good in him. They will develop a Brother-like relationship.

6. Will continue. That MC figure coming out, I think it's Saturn's, plus, I don't particularly want Croagunk to evolve.

7. The rivalry with Paul's will continue and show itself in their League battle. Hopefully that would go something like this:
Honchkrow vs. Staraptor - Staraptor.
Weavile vs. Staraptor - Weavile.
Weavile vs. Buizel/Floatzel - Draw.
Gliscor(P) vs. Gliscor(A) -Gliscor(A).
BREAK
Electivire vs. Pikachu - Pikachu.
Torterra vs. Pikachu - Torterra.
Torterra vs. Grotle - Torterra.
Torterra vs. Infernape - Infernape.
Magmortar vs. Infernape - Infernape.
Ash wins!

8. He'll begin to. I feel that Happiny will evolve twice, pretty fast, in the filler saga. But she'll take an interest in the 'family' business. Brock won't give her away.

 

[piplup_777]

maybe pachi could be less bland when it evovles

if it gets a evo in 5th gen

 

[Pachirisu]

maybe pachi could be less bland when it evovles

if it gets a evo in 5th gen

What do you mean "less bland"? Huh?! You dissin the Pachi!? Lol jk. Although I doubt it will get a 5th gen evo. But if it does I would like it's evo to be a flying squirrel .

 

[Haxon22]

I would like to see the Croagunk Vs Toxicroak riviarly heat up a little bit

 

[hmmm]

Dawn has developed dramatically. Shes no longer than annoying girl who sucks at contests. She has a good head on her shoulders.

 

[-Hayward-]

I know that there are already threads on the two things I'd like to see, so I'll be brief:

It would be nice if Brock/Team Rocket were shown a little love by the writers and underwent a little development. Thereby making them less "stock/predictable/generic."

 

[Rave]

There's character development in Pokemon?

I know this was just quoted, but this is the best post I've seen in this section in a long time.


There is character development, just not much.

Personally, I hope that Pikachu is Rocky and Buneary is Adrian... No wait... Never mind... I don't know WHAT I was thinking...

Well, at the very least, I hope that Ash defeats Paul and maybe teaches him a thing or two about being a Trainer. That would be character development enough for me.

 

[SUPERSTARZZ]

Ash

Pikachu - still ignores Lopunny
Staravia (Staraptor) - becomes too prideous
Chimchar (Monferno) - masters Blaze, beats the hell out of Paul
Grotle - learns defensive power
Buizel (Floatzel) - no need for anymore development
Gliscor - no need for anymore development

Dawn - the most developed charcter since Ash in Hoenn

Piplup (Prinplup) - becomes a quiet, less annoying thing after evolution
Pachirisu - rebel-type personality
Buneary (Lopunny) - overcomes its love for Pikachu
Ambipom - no need for anymore development
Mamoswine - (hope goes to Brock, but, oh well....) earns Dawn's respect

Brock

Sudowoodo - just more screentime
Croagunk - no need for anymore development
Happiny (Chansey) - becomes a normal Chansey

 

[espeon+glaceon=awsome]

Croaunk and Toxicroak have to have a final showdown
Buneary will probally overcome the crush
Mamoswine will respect Dawn
Piplup should start to STAY IN THE DAM POKEBALL!!!!!!

 

[char-cario]

The disobedient Piloswine should carry on all the way to the GF, IMO, and actually cost Dawn a win there. Or even better, Dawn doesn't even qualify for the GF.

Pikachu should have a mini-arc where he goes through a major slump, and Ash is really concerned about it. The Light Ball could make its debut on the Anime, and it could explain why Ash's Pikachu is so powerful.

Chimchar will have problems with his Blaze ability, and could serve as the Berserker.

Grotle have no reason why it shouldn't evolve into Torterra once it learns how to be a defensive pokemon (hmm, learning Stealth Rock might help give Ash a support pokemon)

Gliscor could learn how to use Agility and Baton Pass so that Ash could pass it to Grotle.

Dawn's Piplup start to struggle and start messing up appeals. The once prideful Piplup goes into a withdrawal and refuse to see Dawn. Jun sees this and knew at once that evolution is the solution to Piplup's problems. Naturally, Dawn refuses that, and to spite at Jun, gives Piplup an Everstone. This only caused Piplup to be even more withdrawal, and although Dawn tries her hardest to please Piplup, even allowing him to get his's own food. Finally, after Kenny showed that Piplup can still be good even if it evolves, Dawn finally decides to take the Everstone and throw it into the garbage, and thanks to TR, Piplup evolves into Prinplup and blast off TR with his newly learned Metal Claw.

Buneary's crush on Pikachu reaches new heights, and Pikachu, being Pikachu, as oblivious as usual. As the result, Buneary steals Dawn's Soothe Bell and tries to battle as much as possible to evolve, but still fail (mostly because Dawn isn't close to Buneary) due to hitting the pokemons she battled with a very powerful Fustration. The problem didn't resolve until Dawn realized that the reason why Fustration is so powerful is because of how low Buneary's happiness is. Buneary gets in trouble, and Pikachu sensed it, he makes Dawn follow the electric mouse to find Buneary. Buneary happens to be assualted by a group of Spearows, and Dawn covered Buneary to protect her from it. Pikachu tries to shock the Spearows away, only to get defeated a large Fearow. Buneary saw this, and starts to glow. Buneary finally evolves into a Lopunny. Fearow tries to attack Lopunny, but gets repealed by Cute Charm, and Lopunny defeats it with an improvised Ice Beam and Jump Kick.

 

[Squaaah]

They definatly should have made more out of Pauls Gliscor being the old leader of Ash's. When they fought in the chimchar ep they only comented on Gliscor being Gligars evolved form, nothing about their previous relationship.

I think Pikachu is gonna end up taking Elecitivre out in the League, and that Infernape should battle Torterra, unless they build on the relationship between Magmortar and Chimchar.

I was hoping for Staraptor to fight Hunchkrow, but now it would make sense of Grotle to get revenge by beating it in the league. Of course Staraptor and Hunchkrow might still fight, but it would mean Staraptor loosing.

Personally i prefer the idea of Juns pokemon NOT haing rivalrys with Ash's, as Pauls are so matched to Ash's.
