Do you get emotionlly attatched to your Pokemon?

I wouldn't say I get super-attached, but I do get attached. My Lucario is my friend, and I feel as though it takes care of my baby Riolu. I always think of Swampert as though he watches over me. I know I'm weird, but my friends think that way, too... >.> It must be because they're creatures, and not, like, weird random things. Thought is put into them. I play the games as if the main character really is me, and I'm really going around beating people up (well, maybe not beating people up...) with my Pokemon. It's kind of hard to explain, but I think about my Pokemon as though they're real, and it's hard not to get attached to something if you think of them as being "real."
 
No.......

Dude, maybe if your like 5-10 and cry about your Pidgey being released from your PC...its only a video game >.>
 
I hate to admit it since it's just data but I DO get quite attached to my usual team so it's hard to use different Pokemon if I like the ones I have too much.

Lmao.

Nah, but as much as I do like Pokemon, "emotionally attached" is not a word to be proud of(unless your Under 10). It IS just "data". Pokemon should just be something to do for fun, not taken as a life/death matter.
 
Yeah, fortunately, I don't think anyone claimed it to be a life or death matter.

Emotionally attached isn't anything to be ashamed of, but it ranges from "hehe that's cute" to "omg no no NO NO! Don't faint! NO!!! I'm so sorry! Are you okay? I'm SO SORRY! Come back!"

I saw that a pokemon I didn't use still had two hearts for me. That made me feel a little guilty, since I replaced it a long time ago with another pokemon.
 
I'm not attached to my Pokemon in the way that I mourn when one of them faint, but I do get a bit too emotionally attached... I would never restart a game with one of my Lv 100's in it.

I tend to be proud of the Pokemon I use to beat the games, and I can't help but feel the same way about all my Lv 100's, because it takes so long to train them!!

And because I love the Pokemon I use so much, I end up with a bunch of really weak Lv 100's that I can't bear to replace with something stronger.
 
I now have an attachment to my Staravia and Luxio on Pearl..
They're my babies. xD

But I'm weird, because I normally only get attached to a few of my party Pokemon, and not all of them. oO;

Dude I'm like 16 and I still like my Pokemon. Being a little attached doesn't necessarily mean things like that. >_>
 
A few. Like my Blue Omastar, until I lost it in a glitch. I still feel sorrow for that. I've since remade it, but it isn't the same.

I definitely feel with my best G/S ones, as I can't transfer them anywhere. Stupid, stupid Nintendo.
 
OMG I'm back!

Anyways, I don't take Pokemon too seriously, but sometimes I wish they were real so that I could become attached to them as much as I would with a good friend. Otherwise, they're just pixels to me.
 
How can you not get attached to those little lumps of pixels and data? :P

Jokes aside, I do. To the extent that I haven't restarted a pokemon game after I've got it since Crystal, because I don't want to lose my straters and whatnot. ;-;
 
Sadly, I do get attached. Especially with my Ampharos and Ditto back in my very young days. I would be tempted to cry when they fainted back then. Nowadays, when my Starly or Turtwig dies, I feel an inclination to scream "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
When I put one of my dominant Pokemon in the PC, I start to feel sad... It's like, "Okay, Ampharos, come out!" but there is no Ampharos. My buddy's in the PC....
 
me personly don't get attached to them im just bummed that i lost my lg with scter and kangashkahn for kanto dex (i even had mew
from the toys r us event )
one of my friends literly beats elite 4 or 5 trades all pokes over and restarts finishes (gets to the lite 4 in 2-3 days)
