Personal battling style

[Akerin]

Last night I was thinking... a lot of people like to make their games more personal by writing stories of their Pokemon's past, giving them developed personalities (sometimes having nothing to do with the nature the game gives them), and even thinking of how their Pokemon would actually fight if they were real.

No. I don't mean something as simple as "Squirtle would fight with water" ...What I'm referring to is.. well... would they fight viciously? Fairly? Would your Pokemon have a tendancy to go easy on weaker opponents?

How would YOUR Pokemon fight if they were real?

Mine? Well...

Spike, my Jolteon (and also my main fighter at the moment) would be trained to fight without any need for commands. Just a simple "You know what to do" at the start of the battle, and that would be it. She would use the full-potential of her speed to strike multiple times before the opponent can get any hits in. She would also know how to "decieve" opponents, by acting as though she's about to use one attack, then using a different one. (Ex: Bristling her fur like she's about to use pin missle, then using Thunderbolt instead) In short: Spike fights unfairly, but tends to go easier on rookies.

Being a Charmeleon, Helio is hot-tempered by nature. His fighting style is similar to Spike's, but he isn't skilled at decieving opponents, not to mention he's somewhat slower. He doesn't go easy on rookies, but sometimes he'd rather not battle them because they're just too easy to beat.

Snap the Flygon is very gentil compaired to his team-mates, even though he's the strongest. He doesn't agree with Helio's ruthlessness, which causes arguments between the two of them sometimes, and makes teaming up with Helio in double-battles a real challenge. He only fights when he needs to, doesn't need commands but will obey them without question, and very rarely uses his full power.

When given the chance, Dirge the Onix likes to burrow underground, then strike his opponent from an unknown angle. He's not the most intelligent of my Pokemon though, so he needs to be told which moves to use, if it's going to be anything other than Dig.

 

[flygonbreloom]

Uhh, I would be the Pokemon...

 

[Krug]

well...my houndooms would be viciously and non mercifuly.Possibly destroying cities to find and faint and opponent.My noctowl would be stratigical,always thinking ahead.T-tar and salamance are the same as houndoom.Gengar would stealthy.Finally my omastar would be just a destroyer.

 

[skitty24]

My Vaporeon would fight fair because it doesn't want to loose, especially to a weaker pokemon.

 

[spareux]

I guess my Blaziken would fight proudly and my Altamase with great strength... Milotic would fight as if the task was effortless imo.

 

[Gilgamesh]

My Gengar would fight brutally and unfair. So would all my other pokemon.

 

[Darkfall]

My Zangoose would be quick thinking, but always learning. It would probably go at the opponent with a fair few different moves to test their reaction, whilst I would watch it's back and help it out. It would probebly move around a lot as well, so as to try and find the weak spot.
But mainly I would let my pokemon make their own decisions, if they wanted to stop fighting, I would recall them...if they wanted to carry on no matter how many broken limbs they have? Who am I to stop them? Now unless there was NO WAY IN HELL they would win (Caterpie vs Aruseus) THEN I would not let them, but if that pokemon is determined enough and still has a chance? I say go for it.
They would also be weaker on the newbies, and give them a chance whilst teaching them basic strategies.
I'm a people person ^^

 

[TheTriss]

Mine would fight calmly but brutally, and always strike swiftly, giving the opponent no chance to strike back. Also what Akerin said with the Pokémon knowing what to do, but I would get bored and usually give the commands. So basicly, just like Brago and Sherry from 'Zatch Bell!!'

 

[Comray001]

All my pokemon would fight with linked moves. I would yell out a combo and they would do it without haste

 

[shooting star]

My pokemon would ALWAYS lose, just to taunt me!

 

[Vycksta]

Okay, lets list a few of the Sneasel army, who I have given personalities to anyway.

Nightwish... the blaack Sneasel with red eyes in my trainer card... is evil. Seriously evil. The stereotypical "i'm going to pwn the world and you are all going to die" evil. So she would battle mercilessly and without a thought for the opponent. Then we have Septiembre, the pink Sneasel in the trainer card and Nightwish's complete opposite. In battle she's fair and often loses because she hates to hurt and would rather give everyone cotton candy then a smack in the mouth. Reqosh is my favourite and is my fastest Sneasel with a speed of 359. So naturally she would flaunt that as best as she can, running rings around the opponent while attacking... then Nynaeve the purple winged Sneasel has the best attack of my Sneasels so would rther smack them fast and with power but not without mercy.

I won't list the other 116.

 

[KATHYxx]

I trained my Pokemon to fight with caution and with their minds. No rushing into battle head first or that sort of thing. My Salamance, Mr. Hahn, would probably look at me funny then ignore me though.

 

[DarkBlaizeken]

It would depend on the pokemon nature and species. Take blaizeken, strangely i tend to get the more violent nature. So i imagine that he would get really angry when he had a missed attack. most of mi pokemon i dont battle with ani way, any weaker pokemon i pop in the daycare 4 a bit an then put them in contests.

 

[Razor Shiftry]

i have an incredibly jolly Flygon and Lanturn and a nauhty Cacturne that knows Faint attack and uses it to his own fun...
and a blaziken and starmie that a sweeper pokemon and would just keep attacking untll the pokemon is dead...
and a beautifly that loves to show off because i use her in beauty contests...

 

[BlackHeart]

Swampert: Pure. Power. Defense would be added, but he could be a stainory object for all I give a Damn. Just be able to Dynamic Punch and win. Well...If it worked in real life. ;260;

Metagross: A Multi-Hit, Hide and Hit. He would be docile with a Hint of Aggression. ;376;

Flygon: Fweeee! She's be a Jolly Fighter, taunting oppenents. When she's in trouble she'll steam. Then Flygon go an all out. ;330;

Tyranitar: Aggresion. All the way. He'd be a Tyrant, doing whatever it takes to beat his oppenet. He is Friendly with people he likes and knows.;248;

Snorlax: Wall and Smasher. He'd try and use his Defense as an Advantge, tire his foes, then beat them to a pulp. Or he'll Beat him to a Pulp. Whatever works best. ;143;

Primeape: An Overall fighter, he'd pretty much try and Counter attack all you hits. Try and get an open spot then, WHAM! ;057;

Weavile: Yep, 7 Pokemon. She stays stay out of her PokeBall ( if she had one). A Speed Demon. She'll try and hit you with a flurry of attacks and finally hit you really...hard. ;461;

 

[matrix_Logic]

I'll just list a few.

Blastoise would probably stand still on land, relying on its power to hold the enemy back. In water it would be powerful swimming with unexpected attacks.

Primeape and Jolteon Would both be pretty unpredictable with their movements and attacks. Great tag team. They would most likely rely on their power and speed.

Electabuzz would be a speedy dodger. When someone attacks, it's like teleportation, running to the side and launching a powerful attack. It's all about speed with it.

Marowak would launch constant attacks. Like a bonemerang followed by bone club and then double edge. Relying on Attack of course.

Dodrio Just like Marowak, but also a speed dodger.

Charmeleon not exactly a dodger, but it would wait until an attack is launched and cut through it with its claws. Then it would go on a fast-paced offensive.

Yup.

 

[Imperial_Furret]

Who am I to stop them? Now unless there was NO WAY IN HELL they would win (Caterpie vs Aruseus)

Yeah, Aruseus would never survive.


My FORMER team before a certain someone mangaged to realse all my pokemon was just like this:

Swampert was a loyal as heck, and often goes to the extremes to keep me pampered.
Scep(tile)was my first pokemon (in emerald) and was powerful. However, he could never bear to attack newbies.
Blaziken was a major powerhouse, and had no preferities- so long as he could smoke then out of the water.
Rai(chu) was a bit entergitic, as using Extreme Speed in sleep. He was the clown of the group as well.

Alakazam is distant from the rest, but not without good reason. He is very old, but came out of 'retirement' to help me with something, but never went back.
Alt(aria) is really quiet, and never... squawks much. Only until Swampert, Scep, Blaziken and Rai were... killed, she hadn't showed her power.

 

[Kimori]

My Charizard would probably get right up in the other Pokemon's face, and have fight until the finish. It would most likely be a real short battle. XD

My little Shedinja would probably use a hit-and-run tactic. XD It'd probably get high up in the air, try to attack the other Pokemon, and then retreat.

 

[charizard987]

my zangoose would just slice the other pokemon to ribbons,while tentacruel would make a perfect plan,wich sudowoodo would ruin and they would fight and zangoose would be fighting the other pokemon,

 

[Orion-Sama]

Nice Thread.

I actually like to give my Pokémon personalities and behaviors close to their Natures. But let's list'em. My current Emerald Team:

Starlight, my Modest Ampharos. He's always willing to battle but isn't much rough with his opponents. Most of the time, he prefers to just slow them down and leave the smackdown to other Team members. He's always ready when needed, though.

Gardy, my Modest Gardevoir. She's slightly more violent than Starlight, but she's not one to boast about her countless victories or skills. She valors teamwork and loves to work alongside Kireihana.

Kireihana, my Bold Bellossom. Despite her being the weakest member of the Team, she's the most vigorous and ready to take on any challenger. She always gives the best of herself and won't drop without helping the Team as much as she can. She loves to work alongside Gardy, but she gets along with all my Pokémon.

Turtok, my Calm Blastoise. He's never one to give out the first strike. He calmly withstands most attacks while damaging foes or making them waste time. A brainy tactician checking out all flaws and working them off to weaken the opponent.

Pimpsir, my Jolly Pinsir. He's a very active Pokémon, and second fastest in my squad. He takes a few moments to pump up his already huge power, and then obliterates everything in his path. He hates to be switched out and isn't easy when battling female Pokémon. His potential diminishes when battling alongside Gardy or Kireihana as well, being the pervert he is.

Etowa-Ryu, my Jolly Salamence. He's as active as Pimpsir, but he isn't so boastful about his victories, even though he IS the strongest Pokémon in the Team. He recognizes it's all thanks to teamwork, though. Able to win all by his own or with help, he's a Pokémon worthy of respect and is revered by all my other Pokémon. Even the lone Turtok.

Awesomee!
