It's not really so much I fell out of love with it... More like, I realized that between James and Pomona, Goyle was always gonna be overshadowed on my team as a Grass-type. James is one of my oldest and strongest Pokemon, and Pomona's got more personality. Much as I love Victreebel as a species, I had to realize that the best thing would be to give Goyle a home where he'd get more attention. I've never even battled with him. Hell, I've never even RP'd him using any moves, ever.

It's not a bad idea. And come on, I don't give into my whims every single time. Remember when Gemini Spark hatched a Cryogonal? I kept my cool (bad pun intended). Cryogonal are probably the most badass Ice-types I've ever seen, and I wanted one so badly, but I didn't go crazy trying to make room.

Anyway, my other Pokemon won't actually have anything to worry about. Aside from Crabbe and Goyle, I'm too dead set against trading anything. The first six Pokemon of mine, the six that, for the first few years, it was just them until I unlocked my PC, they're not going anywhere (Gemini, Hebenon, James, Lily, Nagini, and Hedwig). Too much history, too many memories, I'd sooner rip out various internal organs than trade any of them away. Even if they weren't level 100, even if I was allowed to trade my starter. I'm also not gonna trade away anything involved in a romantic relationship, for two reasons; 1, the relationship helps to establish the Pokemon's personality, and 2, I don't want to be responsible for forcing anyone else to have to potentially RP their Pokemon's heartbreak, should the new trainer not want to continue to RP the relationship. Severus was different, the trade actually allowed a little bit of closure where his feelings for Lily were concerned. Anyway, this means that Sirius, Salazar, Peeves, and Marvolo are all safe. I'm flat-out not trading Malfoy, Pomona, Myrtle or Luna, I enjoy RPing with them. And Drapion is definitely something I want in FB, so Scorpius stays, too. But, the notion that some of them might become nervous due to all this trading, it does open up a possibility or two...

EDIT: No. I'm sorry, I can't do it. I can't get rid of Goyle, I love Victreebel! What am I doing? I can't go through with this! Meowth is still on my want list, but it's not worth losing my Victreebel. I might not have RP'd with him that often, but damn it, it's high time I started.

Oh, come on, I'm not that bad. Did you not just see my change of heart here? The notion of trading my Victreebel away never sat right with me, even if I never did RP with him much.

She is a psychologist in training! Besides, Keith and Victreebel are going to need some trainer-Pokemon therapy after this whole episode of near-trading...

Haven't really been whimming that much... have I? Granted, Neville was just a whim, and I tried to resist Meowth, which of course resulted in an avalanche of whimages. Myrtle started out as a whim, but I'd never trade her now, same with Luna.

...OK, maybe I have been whimming a bit much lately...

Yet somehow I still don't think that's the poison pokemon he was after

The first step to recovery is knowing you have a problem.

So would Whimmer's Anonymous be a place to post un-whimages?

Why yes, yes it would.
It's to make you want to whim for a certain pokemon much much less.

In other news, I am thinking of recoloring my Cottonee black, so that she can be the little black sheep of my Pokemon family. :3

So this whole situation with Goyle is now making me rethink my decision to trade Crabbe away at the first opportunity to get a Trubbish. That said, if I happen across one in any zones, I'm now screwed... And Trubbish is no whim. Trubbish is way past the point of whim, Trubbish is a priority. What to do...

There is a very simple solution:

You don't worry about anything until either a) a Trubbish appears or b) you have a new slot open.

I think you're worrying yourself sick over this whole dream team idea and you've really no reason to. If you've already established that Trubbish is your next must-have Pokémon, and if you've already established that short of a miracle you won't be unlocking a new slot on your team any sooner than the end of this calendar year, you've absolutely no reason to worry yourself about anything anyone else may hatch, catch, breed, or otherwise obtain. There's just no point in it. Why? Because!
  1. If you should find Trubbish before unlocking the new slot, you'd be releasing your least favorite / least invested in Pokemon ANYWAY. And your least invested in Pokemon is almost GUARANTEED to be anything you just recently acquired. (See: your story with the past two to three Pokemon you've traded for and then given away. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. ^^; They were on the bottom rung of the ladder and they each got the boot when something better happened along.)
  2. If you should find Trubbish after unlocking the new slot, then great: assuming it's empty (though knowing you it probably won't be ^^; ) you can plunk him down in there, nice and cozy, and at THAT time you can worry about how you're going to make space for who to get next.
EITHER WAY, worrying about this now isn't doing you any good. You haven't the space. That is a hard, cold fact. So without the space, there's really no reason to be worrying about acquiring 2+ Pokemon at a time. And you're already doing that, even now, with your desire to get both Meowth and Trubbish on the team ASAP. The math just doesn't work out right unfortunately. ^^; You can't have both Meowth and Trubbish when you unlock your next slot. Not without kicking somebody off the squad. So pick one for now, work towards getting them, and worry about the other one later.

Disclaimer because "tone doesn't come out well on the Internet": giving this as friendly, calm advice. I do worry that you're stressing yourself out much too much over your team situation. After what's happened earlier tonight, I wouldn't have posted this unless I felt there was even a 1% chance of it getting through to you and helping you enjoy the next 3 months in peace.

I come up with storylines first. Whatever Pokemon fits the story is the Pokemon I pick for a reward. Simple as that.

Yeah, you're right. I'm worrying about this way too much, considering I have no space and there's no Trubbish that requires any sort of immediate attention. And I dunno, maybe Meowth really is just a whim, and I'm just a little confused about it from the higher-than-average volume of whimages I was subjected to, not to mention the fact that Team Rocket's Meowth is just plain awesome. Either way, Trubbish is still a higher priority than Meowth, so yeah. Thanks. I needed this.

Guys, can we please keep general topics to the TO? =/ That's what the thread is for. This was just made to keep advertising out of the main chat. Not overtake it.

I can see the discouragement of bolded questions for the TO that aren't related to trading and whatnot... but if a trade-related conversation veers off in another direction, I sincerely hope that policing wouldn't happen. We are in the TO, after all, which encourages us to "go random to our heart's content".

Yeeeeaaaahhh, about that.... Hum, it's actually for a shard quest. Which means it's abandoned afterwards. :P

This. So, so, SO MUCH this. u.u

(Note: I don't seriously hate Shard Quest -related drops to the AC. There's no other way to complete those quests. But if there's a way to avoid dropping a Mon to the AC for Other Reason (no slots etc.), I'd prefer if people tried that.)

The AC should really be a last resort. I'm guilty of having dropped a Pokemon in the AC before, but it wasn't through lack of trying to find it a home; proof that it wasn't really popular with anyone is that it's still waiting to be picked up. :/
