bonus: gyarados (name: gyarados) (gender: female) (closeness: 8/10)— a household pokemon that’s been with us since i was 2. my dad caught it in the wild on a weekend trip to driftveil. sort of a motherly figure in the household (protective). very useful for transportation

spheal (name: Snarkle) (gender: male) (closeness: 2/10)— a couple weeks ago my friend caught it on a whim when we were at the beach and gave it to me. i never ended up transferring it to a box and got attached cuz my friend had given it a nickname

sylveon (name: Isabelle) (gender: female) (closeness: 8/10)— i caught a wild eevee at a park last november. i raised it all semester for the later half of my senior year. it evolved into sylveon in june
