Have you ever written any stories involving criminal Pokemon gangs, whether they are canon-based or made up (e.g. Team Rocket, Cipher, Team Imgoingtothrowapieinyourface, etc)?
Heck yeah. My evil team was formed by an architecht who was brought up to be an extremely competitive and profit-minded by his father. As a result, he is a very cold person and ready to do almost anything to gain profit - hence the "evil" - and is also very rich due to his company - hence the "team" - and has discovered the possible possibilities of the ablities of Legendary Pokémon - hence the "Pokémon". So, it's an evil Pokémon team.
But I don't believe in such thing as evil for pure evil, I think there's a reason and motive for everything. So, even though I might never explain it in my fic, I still have to know why the evil team is evil, why people join it and why it was formed. I don't like the idea of killing Pokémon with sharp knives for pure fun, because to me, it doesn't sound all that credible. Maybe if the team hates Pokémon more than anything because something has happened or something, then they can go around with sharp knives and kill random critters that cross their path. That's more credible. To me, at least.
So, yeah, I spend hours on creating backstories that will never see the daylight. I need it to maintain my peace of mind... I can't write about a character if I don't know who they are and why so, I just can't. I've even made up nasty details of Brice Ackland's childhood... His younger brother definitely had it easier, but it was mostly because they have different personalities. Oh man, I could talk about the Ackland family and their drama for hours, because I literally spent hours thinking it through. I have every single detail, sibling, age, Pokémon and relationship thought through. Does anyone else do that?
On an unrelated note, Cimi is actually related to the Acklands. Too bad her grandmother was born outside of marriage even though her mother was indeed married. So, no money for her. Interesting y/n?
I'm going to shut up now.
