Greetings, citizens of the internet! You can call me Nitro Indigo, and a while ago, I came up with a "challenge" to encourage diversity in Pokémon fanfiction. I've decided to bring it back.

Basically, go onto a random Pokémon generator, such as this one. Since this is fanfiction, not competitive, leave Ubers, NFEs, and forms checked. Once you've gotten your six Pokémon, write about them. You can do this however you want.

I've decided to combine mine with five emotion-themes (tranquillity, joy, discord, indecision, and sorrow), with one oneshot per theme, meaning that two Pokémon will have to share a theme. I got Cosmog, Litwick, Seismitoad, Dustox, Poochyena, and Doduo.
 
I got Beautifly, Simipour, Reuniclus, Aurorus, Comfey, and Trevenant.

Note: That was my second roll. My first was six mythics.

So you unchecked NFEs? And for you second point, what are the odds?

But have you decided what you're going to do with these Pokémon? You can take your time, but when I did this over a year ago on another website, most people forgot about it.

...Did I come off as rude? I hope not...

I left everything checked as you said. It was just how the roll turned out.

I haven't decided yet. I'll look it over in a few hours. Inspiration will strike soon enough.

You're fine :)
 
My Cosmog + tranquillity story will be Nebby character introspection.

I also have a vague idea about Poochyena, about a noble hyena-dog-dog-hyena defending his homeland, with inspiration from that thread about making types evil. But this Poochyena won't be a misunderstood emo.
 
My advice:

Cosmog - Tranquility
Litwick - Discord
Seismatoad - Sorrow
Dustox - Joy
Poochyena - Joy
Doduo - Indicision
 
Raticate - Seemingly uses deceptive and dirty tricks with people, a thief whom seems cold and unapprocable, is mostly just doing what he can to survive.
Paras - A young pokemon afflicated with a dangerous disease when he was young, mostly still sees the world through optimistic eyes.
Morelull - Rather cute, uses this to there advantage, good at card tricks and beggings magic or 'slight of hand'. Probably a member of a 'bubbly' exploration team, but rarley puts into consideration the morality of thier actions.
Koffing - Innocent, yet rather tricky. Enjoys destroying or breaking stuff for the fun of it, generally messy. Probably dosen't believe in 'good' and 'evil' as static entities.
Spritzee - Pretends to be helpful, and kindly. They have a gentle voice, but tend to use their charisma for manipulative purposes.
Empoleon ★ - Leader of a large and prestigious team, very dignified but also arrogant, says they don't have time for those who are 'unworthy' or 'weak' but can be rather warm and sensitive once you get to know them.

It was kind of fun, so I'll do it again, why not.
Mawile Mega - Has a high pitched voice, frequently laughs at others misfortune but a bit of a flirt, idealizes the shiny Empoleon and wishes to one day belong to his team. Absolutely ruthless during a fight.
Yamask - Incredibly troubled, possibly depressed. Is haunted with frequent dreadful nightmares and misses the days he once had as a member of the living.
Emboar - Everyone seems to think of them as the classical 'strong guy' with little muscles to back up their strength, but they are actually rather intelligent and good at solving puzzles, they still have a temper though.
Zapdos - Daring, thoughtful and mysterious. Mostly isn't fond of being seen or visited by regular Pokemon, very goal-driven and ambitious they go for what the seek and have a good time reaching targets they set for themselves. Might occasionally cause thunderstorms for the fun of it.
Ducklett - Rather calm Pokemon that is somewhat silly but surprisingly analytical and talented at times, possibly in a team with Morelull.
Magmar - Bold, with a hearty laugh. A former explorer who had grown old and also lazy as times have gone on, he frequently looks back to his younger, more adventurous days. He still has quite the temper though.

Why is the Empoleon starred? Shiny?
