Ever been emotionally attached to one of your pokemon?

    Im just wondering if I am naive but has anyone ever been emotionally attached to a pokemon? Like you get upset when it faints, and you do your best to treat it right even though it has no feelings? You also can't let go of it. Even if it would benefit the team greatly to let it go, you just can't because you love it?

    Well I must say I am emotionally attached to my Starmie. I mean its like a pet to me. I got it as a Staryu and it has been on my team the whole way through the game, and I just will not take it off my team.

    So how about the rest of yall?

    When i was little i would NEVER even think of getting rid of a Pokémon. I think the same today with my Torterra that's been with me from the very start (he's just grown to level 100!). People have offered me Pokémon (very good Pokémon, actually) for it, but i have always said NO.

    I hate to admit it, but, yes I have. My Typhlosion and Extremespeed Dragonair from Crystal were my personal favs and I was sooooo upset when the internal battery died and they were gone for good... I know they were just a string of commands and pixels in the game cartridge, but, there was a sad attrachment.

    I'm pretty attatched to my Jirachi in Sapphire. However not as much as I used to be since I realised I hate cheating to get Pokémon.

    So I plan to get a legit Jirachi somehow on Pokémon Diamond so I can be attatched to it again :3

    Up until the third generation games, I was seriously attached to my starter Pokemon. I refused to put them in the box, I had to go to the Pokemon Center or use a healing item as soon as they were injured. Yes, it wasn't the most mature part of my life, being attached to a clump of pixels.

    I still do it now,
    I think, if your going to play the game, you should play it realistically.

    Slighty. XD; I have two amazing Pokémon that I love oh-so-much from my Ruby game. I've finally migrated them to my Diamond game. <3

    The first one is my Medicham, who I named "Med'cha." He's currently at level 65, I think. I caught him at level 20-something and I raised him completely by myself, and he's been strong enough to take on the vast majority of the Elite Four. I love Fighting-type Pokémon and the fact that it's part Psychic as well just appealed to me when I was choosing a member for my in-game team.

    The second one is my Flygon, named "Abarava." She's currently at either level 66 or 67 right now. I caught her as a level 20 Trapinch, and although it's taken her quite some time to level up into a Flygon, I'm glad I did. She's been totally beast in battles.

    I really don't know why I'm so attached to these two. They're just clumps of pixels, but they're fun to play with. XDD;

    I've never restarted my Silver Version because I was so attached to my Typhlosion. It was the first Pokemon I completely trained to level 100 without the use of a single rare candy. Unfortunately, I've seemed to have lost my Gold Version. =(

    Yes. I don't know what I'd do if I just suddenly lost my Diamond version, with Kaizer (Flygon) or Raff (Vileplume) or Kero and Azure (Toxicroaks), along with a bunch of others. Maybe it's a dumb thing to do, but there'll never be another Flygon or Vileplume or Toxicroak exactly like those, right? I've spent hours raising them. I feel good when I win with them; I feel bad for them when I lose.

    I'd feel bad if a drawing I worked on for hours was ripped apart. I'd also feel bad if a "pile of pixels" I worked on for hours was suddenly deleted, because raising that pile of pixels was something I did because it's what I like to do, and it's nice to have it pay off in the end, right?

    I'm quite attached to Eevee and its evolutions. Through Crystal, I always had the one you get from Bill on my team. Being able to catch Eevee in the wild, on Diamond and Pearl (although in the dumbest way possible.. -.-;; ) was one of the best things I found out about. Currently, I've got a Vaporeon and a Glaceon that I really don't like boxing; though they are after-game acquisitions. Damn them for making Eevee an "After National Dex" Pokemon.. >_>;
