feeling bad when your Pokemon faints

[Kristine]

I do feel a bit guilty, but fainting is just part of growth; it's just the point when the Pokemon is too injured to continue battling. I try to switch out my Pokemon just before it actually does feint so that it doesn't get to that point. :) I have rules for myself that I won't use medicinal items while in combat, and I also have battle style on Set to give it more of a realistic feel. I managed to beat the Elite Four and Unova Champion under those rules and only had two of my Pokemon actually faint throughout the five battles, so I was pretty happy with it. :) I get more connected with my favorite team than I probably should, and I feel bad if I let them down.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Annoyed, yes. Guilty, no. Then again, I go to extraordinary efforts to make sure that my Pokemon don't faint, at least in-game. In competitive battling situations, I don't really care unless that Pokemon was vital to my overall battle plan.

I just don't like them fainting in game because usually at least a couple utilize Return.

 

[Sydian]

I usually feel bad, unless the Pokemon was screwing around during the fight, like if it's traded and it thinks it's being cool by not listening to me. Rebelling isn't funny, Electivire! Oh, and Heaven forbid Petilil faints. I don't even like fighting them. :(

 

[mikey]

I usually feel bad, especially when its my starter :/

 

[Kenshin5]

I don't feel back, I feel annoyed that I have to go back too the Pokemon Center. It's like life, at some point in time you will eventually die and the same concept applies to battling expect in this case it's fainting.

 

[Jeikobu]

Yeah, I definitely feel bad, and I talk to my Pokemon, even if it's in my head. ("Oh, I'm sorry *insert name*. You did well, take a good rest.") Yeah, I get a little too attached and into it. XD

 

[cazzler]

I feel annoyed since it ruins my plans, but that also depends on who has fainted. Mostly I feel annoyed instead of guilty though...

 

[SolWolf]

I always do, but then I use a Revive them and feel better. In Pokemon, Revives are like the ultimate anti-depressants.

 

[Joe Chan]

I only feel bad when one of my pokemon constantly faints. When that happens, EXP Share + Rare Candy ubtil it gets stronger.

 

[Snow Phoenix]

I always do, but then I use a Revive them and feel better. In Pokemon, Revives are like the ultimate anti-depressants.

There we go :3 Having your pokes faint is a pain =.=

 

[machomuu]

Yes, I try to get more immersed in the game by attaching my feelings to it, but I'm the type of trainer who uses pokemon fainting to my advantage (as bad as that sounds), so it's half and half.

 

[Eurydice]

ya i do especially when its my favorite pokemon on my team. but i dont really let it bug me i just revive it asap or bring it to the pokemon center.

 

[Blazing Flare]

I only feel bad about pokemon fainting when its one I really like that goes down, but yeah, more annoyed than guilty.

 

[Beaute]

I only feel bad when it's a pokemon who's happiness I'm trying to max out in order to evolve.

 

[リザードン☆]

Surprisingly I do feel something when one of my Pokémon faints.. especially if it is my Emboar yet I don't know why.

 

[Togetic997]

Only if I used the pokemon for death fodder.

 

[ben cousins]

er...no considerp ing it's just a game dog

 

[Hikamaru]

Yes I do, especially if it's the one that has a type advantage against the Gym Leader.

 

[GermanBrick]

every time my pikachu fainted in Yellow. Every single time ;____;

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

is it just me?
Yeah it probably is

do you feel bad when your Pokemon faints?
No because it is a part of life when a Pokemon faints. Its kind of like in real life, we can't win them all
