~~I am totally out of decent titles by now.~~

As some of you may have noticed, I've been somewhat inactive lately. I'm due to start university abroad in a few weeks so I've been really busy, but I really miss you guys so since I'm free today, I'm just going to give some 'mons out so that you guys don't forget me in the mean time ;)

Rules:

Be polite, use your Ps and Qs.
You may reserve a Pokemon if you can promise to meet me sometime this week to trade. If you cannot come up with a specific time that would suit my timezone, then I won't reserve it for you.
Do not PM, VM, or tag me.
All these 'mons are fully-redis as long as you keep the nickname.
If I am offline, your request will count as a reservation and you must give me a time and timezone that I can meet you, keeping mine into account.

How to get a 'mon:

Give me a few sentences (at least three) about what your signature Pokemon would be. e.g. Tell me why you'd choose that Pokemon as your partner, what nickname it would have, what you'd do together, etc.
Let me know which Pokemon you want. You can only have one.
Add my FC, and make sure your FC and IGN are in your post or your sig.
If you are reserving a Pokemon, tell me your timezone and the time you can meet me. My timezone is GMT+8 and I can be on from 10am - 9pm.
Bonus! At the end, I will choose my favourite answer, and the lucky person will get a free legendary from my thread (link is my Mew+Mewtwo icon). So get creative!

The mons:

Have fun, friends.

haha same. Excellent use of a Pokemon! Sorry for the late reply, was making lunch, but I'm coming on now.

I would have to say that my partner would be Latios. When I first played Sapphire and then Emerald I made it my mission to catch the Lati's as they were my favorites of all the gen 3 pokemon. While some would disagree with me over what astrology sign they best represent I feel that they both seem more like Pisces than Gemini, even though you could argue they're more like twins than how the story of Pisces is told. I don't know if I could ever bring myself to give a nickname. I'd probably end up traveling the world riding on his back (screw you aireline industries and your overpriced fares during the holidays) or just rela at home and enjoy a lazy day.
I would like Beatrice.

Sounds lovely to me. I've added you and am coming on now.

ss1234 · Sep 1, 2015

I would choose togepi as my partner as it has to be the cuuuuteest Pokémon ever. It is a great Pokémon to train as it is cute at the start and then when it is a togekiss it is strong and elegant. I don't do many nicknames but when I do I just invert the name so it would be ipegot.
As you have seen I would like to adopt Dearheart.

For my partner Pokemon, it is none other than Lucario.

With Lucario, it can alert you to any foes in the area, and you can communicate telepathically with it (unlike other Pokemon). Also, Lucario looks very cool, and you probably wouldn't get picked on, because Lucario would sort those guys out.

Could I please get Mitra? FC and IGN are in my sig. Just putting your FC in now

Thanks for the giveaway, plus, good luck at Uni.

Heh, I'd go with Lucario too. Lucario really won me over in XY. I'd probably be a Pokemon breeder and though that's not half as fancy as what I'm sure other people with Lucarios do, I bet he'd be quite useful in that too.

Added you and coming online.

Hello Rufus :) Congratulations on Uni! Hope you have fun there :D

I was wondering if I could have the Feebas, Ive already got you down as a friend.

If I could have a partner Pokemon, it would be Starmie. Other than being a huge fan of psychic and water types (I really dislike the ocean by the way), I just genuinely like the concept behind Starmie. For god sake its a magical starfish. It can translate messages in radio waves (or any other form of electromagnetic radiation it seems), incredibly handy to help me get over my arch-nemesis (also known as the ocean). And is just adorable (Wonderful, I find starfish adorable, maybe Ive taken one too many blows to the head) and awesome (Ha, you like that assonance?)

It's true, Starmie is really cool! It's a starfish, but it's still as perfectly elegant as a Water-type should be. I'm coming on to trade with you now.

Sir Mudkip II · Sep 1, 2015

My signature Pokemon is Mudkip!
Mudkip was a great joy to me in Pokemon Emerald (which was my first game) and I accidentally stopped its evolution many times until I figured out what evolution was and thus became disappointed with the result. Mudkip was my little blue friend. So, if I had a Mudkip following me around, I would probably have the happy-go-lucky little dude Mud Slap people and prank 'em or something like that. Mudkip would be like my partner in crime, and a fun little guy to hang around with. It can also apparently shatter boulders and find things I lose (which is something that is very useful), so maybe it can 'accidentally' bust my friends' stuff while looking for a missing notebook or something. Its nickname would be Deckser (not Dexter or Deckster, because I was little then and that was what I nicknamed the little guy).

Congrats on Uni by the way! I would like that Solosis please (which would also be an amazing friend along with my boxes of Mudkip). I'll be able to trade on the 5th or 6th (as of GMT+7) because unfortunately, I cannot get on atm. Info and stuff are in my signature.

I guess most people would think of having fully-evolved Pokemon as their partners because that's what they'd end up with in-game after all the battling, but the charms of NFE Pokemon are not to be forgotten! Before I played the games, I was a big fan of the anime, and since evolving isn't as common in the anime, I used to dream of having a cute little Chikorita or Totodile as my partner.

I've reserved Solosis, you can PM me when you're available to trade.

Xxpapaya · Sep 1, 2015

All right, thank you so much :) Have fun and good luck in Uni!

Ksh13 · Sep 1, 2015

Hello, first of thanks a bunch for this giveaway and gl in uni :)

For my signature Pokemon, I would need to say my fav Ursaring simply because it is awesome and my fav for a reason. Having Usaring as a partner is so awesome, being able to ride on its back while it carries you on all four legs whereever you want to go. For freaks sake, it's a bear completely under your control, how awesome is that! I actually have zero idea about what nickname I would like on an Ursaring sadly.

For point of time to trade, could sometime in your evening work? That would be around 3-5 pm my time (depending on how late you prefer) I do believe, which suits me nicely most days. Please tell me if that does not work for you, then I'll figure out something else. FC and IGN in my signature.

May I please have the Torchic (Rachel Marie)?

Thanks on beforehand :)

Fiat500 · Sep 1, 2015

Hello Rufus my dear :) it's good to see you popping in occasionally, I hope you're ok, I know getting ready for Uni and moving to a different country can be a bit stressful!

I'd like to request that beautiful Torchic (Rachel Marie) please ^^

Now onto the companion Pokemon story:

In a world where pokem were real and they replaced what we consider animals, I would be accompanied and would live beside my Zoroark. We'd live a very nomadic lifestyle, bored of the archetypal "gotta catch them all" or "beat the E4" goals. We'd hunt for more interesting treasured. So with the excuse of doing lots of different small exciting jobs like private eye, spy, treasure hunter or fossil maniacs, we be able to explore the world in search of crazy relics. You can imagine a sort Indiana Jones looking person (me) followed by his trusty Zoroark which I'd have the privilege of calling 'Zoro'. This might seem like a silly name, but you must know Zoroarks are extremely loyal and go to great lengths to protect their loved ones. In a very similar fashion to the fictional character he is named after, my Zoroark strikes my enemies from the shadows delivering justice or protecting me in some way. Like that time we were betrayed by those who guided us into Regirock's tomb on the edge of the Sahara Desert and made a narrow escape thanks to Zoro's Illusion ability. So now you might be thinking, why a Zoroark? Surely an Excadrill would be more useful in exploring ancient tombs, or some flying Pokemon to get around quicker... But the truth is, Zoro and I really understand each other. As a matter of fact we met when I was only a young child and he was only a young Zorua in a forest near my hometown. We basically grew up together and people who meet us sometimes say we have the ability to communicate telepathically! The truth is, it's not simply about Zoro's abilities as opposed to a different Pokemon that makes him a valuable companion. Zoro will forever be my signature Pokemon of choice because he was there for me and I was there for him.

And so, Fiat and Zoro lived through many perilous adventures together, discovering crazy artefacts and meeting many legendary Pokemon that were obviously government-protected or unknown to the world and mass-media in this hypothetical real-world scenario :)

The thread says you're online, so hopefully I can catch you sometime now-ish! Otherwise, I'll be available at certain intervals tomorrow :s
If you can't trade now the best thing would be for me to put up a Pokemon on the GTS since the times I'm available can be sporadic and random :((

I really liked Ursaring as a kid. I loved Teddiursa's design but the episode with the kleptomaniac Teddiursa made me dislike it, and I wished it would grow into an Ursaring who could just scare his own food up, hehe. Would your 3pm or so later today work? I'm going out for dinner with my family so idk when I'll be back, but I should be home by that time.

Ugh, don't even get me started! Visa interviews, medical check-ups, and all the deposits I have to pay ... The visa application alone cost more than £500, I could have cried ;; I'm so impatient to finally get there though. I'll be so happy once I arrive, I don't know what I'll do when I land in England. Scream? Cry? Laugh? All three?

Ahem, anyway, cute story! I can see you doing the whole travelling explorers thing tbh. Somebody already asked for Rachel Marie, buuuuut since we're buddies, sure, I'll clone an extra copy of her. I'll make sure I still have you added and come online, but I'm in a hurry so I'll only be able to hang out some five minutes so hopefully you see this on time. If not, we'll figure something out.

All three sounds about reasonable :P

Just saw this!! Hey, if cloning is a bother I could ask for something else, it's fine really :P

Let me know if you're still around, otherwise I'll put something on the GTS?

Yeah that should work. Sorry for late reply, I posted that at school, and had to get home before checking Smogon again.

"Chaaarrrrrrrrrrrrtot, chatter 'em!" I bellow, and the Royal Guards fall in confus'n, as I steal all the Queen's bounty.

We laugh a hearty laugh and make off with our loot, and return to our pirate hideout, where we commit the most heinous act of them all- music piracy! We be the most feared swashbucklers across both the seven seas and iTunes! Ar-ar-ar-ar-ar-ar!
