Companions of Choice

[Trainer'sInsomnia]

So let's say you were set to start your very own Pokemon journey in Sinnoh. You come to the thought that you might want to have a few friends along. Who amongst the young Pokemon cast would you like to accompany you? Think about their expertise, their strengths and weaknesses, their personalities, etc... What would they offer you, what could you offer them? Be practical.

IE: Shinji's a good trainer, but could you stand his personality?

Provide a why, if you can. And if you'd like no one, that works too.

To refrain from keeping the poll options dragged on, I did mostly Sinnoh mains with a few other popular candidates. For everyone else, there's Other, just tell us who.

EDIT: Also, no Team Rocket, as aspiring and traveling [insert Poke-profession] would likely not work with criminals.

 

[Trainer Yusuf]

None of them. I don't have any bussiness with stupid bishonen kids, sketchers, coordinators, annoying brats or perverts.

 

[Virtual-Z]

May and Dawn.

 

[zel]

brock, solely because of his practical skills. :]

 

[Neltharion S. Deathwing]

Brock, so he can cook for me.
And Dawn.

 

[DarkDreams]

Brock for obvious reasons (He haz da mommy skillz!)

May and Ash for being awesome and funny..

And Paul coz, well...It'll be nice seeing the rivalry between him and Ash

Especially if they both fall for May XD

 

[V Faction]

I would take zero companions. Zero. Zip. Zilch. None. Nada. No one. Nobody. Roughin' it alone. All by myself. Population: 1. Me, myself, and I.

 

[Snake Bandage]

I am quite annoyed by the lack of Tracey and Max (even though I understand why they aren't in the poll). 'Cause they're my choices. They're knowledgeable, practical and have personalities that I like. Plus Max is 7, I'm good with 7-year-olds.

Also Jun. Because he's CRAAAAAAZY AWESOOOOOOOOME. <3

 

[Tsareena]

Misty, Ash, and Brock. Because I like the old school trio ;p I like all of them a lot :3

 

[PlatinumDude]

Ash: he's headstrong and a tad reckless (like I am, minus the headstrong part)

Brock: for guiding words and gourmet cooking

May: for female companionship *shot*

 

[Paperhorse]

Ash because he's a good kid and he's funny
Dawn because she is sweet and I enjoy the contests
Brock because he is knowledgeable about cooking, and other things...

 

[Insanish Danish]

Misty, May, Barry, Ash and Brock.

Misty and May simply because they're my favorite characters and if I could be best friends with them I'd completely die of happiness <333

Barry because he's freaking awesome, and I want a friend who's that hyperactive.

Ash because back in the day he was such an adorable little sweetheart and he'd be so much fun to travel around with. ^_^

And Brock...because he can cook. That and he's just awesome.

 

[Leonardo10]

Brock and Misty probably.

 

[Mijzelffan]

You should've added at least Max to the list. He was a main character for as long as May you know.

I'd travel with the likes of Max, Drew or Kenny. Probably Drew, he's Gangster.

As for the girls, I'd love to travel with Marble (she's cute), and perhaps Marnie too, a young Nurse could probably do the same as Brock right? Anabel seems a nice gal to travel with too...

 

[Metabee]

Brock. I can't cook, so I'd need him for obvious reasons.
Misty. The best of the girls, she seems more fun than May or Dawn.
Gary. He'd be an awesome rival, but wouldn't be an asshole about it.

 

[ii kanji]

Satoshi, because as long as he's around, I get to meet the TRio on at least a daily basis (and work with them in times of need x3). I'm so pathetic...

Takeshi because he's practical and stuff. And plus, he's not half bad looking in his night clothes... And he'd be a really nice, sensible big brother.

Jun because he's PSYCHOTIC. And would be absolutely hilarious to be around!

No girls Girls are annoying.

 

[LightningTopaz]

The classic Kanto Trio:

Ash--so we can trade tips on training
Misty--If I ever got a Water Pokemon, she'd teach me the fine points of care and feeding
Brock--who else is going to lead the way, make the grub, lead the sing-alongs, and tell stories for the rest of us?

 

[Grave-E]

Tracey as a character bores the absolute hell out of me, though I'm probably closer to him in terms of personallity than I'd like to admit. Eew.
Other than him, Ash and May seem like people who's company I'd be able to tolerate. I mean, Ash is just a genuinely nice, fun loving dude, and May seems pretty down to earth. Everyone else has issues or traits that, while entertaining as a viewer, would probably be pretty annoying or embarrassing if you were actually accossiated with them. I certainly wouldn't hang out with Misty or Brock. Getting hit with blunt objects at the slightest provocation and having your pal show you up in front of every woman. Oh yeah. Real nice.

But the Rocket trio? Talking cat, nice guy and a total babe. Cartoony antics be damned, I'd hang out with them.

 

[Hassel]

But the Rocket trio? Talking cat, nice guy and a total babe. Cartoony antics be damned, I'd hang out with them.

This for me. I wouldn't mind getting blasted off everyday if I could hang out with them.

Kenji would be nice company too. He could teach me how to draw Pokémon.

 

[Chelc]

None of them. I don't want to be traveling with ten-year-olds, lol. I would probably end up traveling by myself, though if I could travel with Riley, that would be great. ;]
