Hey guys, second semester of college is just about to start up for me, and I was thinking about maybe playing a nostalgia runthrough of Reborn--I have been looking back over my life and childhood pleasures for a fair bit now, and I figured that this would be really enjoyable to do. I'll list the Pokemon below that aren't unreasonable yet still bring back so many memories of playing with my Pokemon team as a kid.
--My all time favorite pokemon is Blaziken, and I already picked Torchic (so no need to worry about it)
--My second favorite is Flygon--I thought it was one of the coolest Pokemon (and still do), so I'd love to have a Trapinch.
If possible, a low level (10ish), or if it would be too OP for Julia, then just make it like lvl 20 or something (about the same level it would be in the desert region of Sapphire's Hoenn) so its above the level cap for Julia's gym. It can just have like Bite, Sand Tomb, Sand Attack, and Dig (what all those Trapinch's have as far as I can tell). Also, my prized Flygon was a girl.
--My third favorite was definitely Alakazam--playing through FireRed with my Kadabra until beating the Champion, and then finally finding somebody with a link cable made me so stoked, plus Alakazam's power (and mustache). In short, an Abra would be wonderful.
I could see how this could be unfair, so if you think so then I'll just go ahead and wait for Abra from 7th Street. If you have pity on a soul like me, then you could just make him (my Alakazam was a dude) like level 7, so I get to relive the grinding I had to do in order to make it evolve and become self-sufficient.
--My fourth favorite was Gengar--I always thought Gengar was a stud, and still do. Thus, a Ghastly would be spectacular.
I'd love for Ghastly (I can't remember my Gengar's gender) to just be the same level as if it was caught from Pokemon Tower and to have similar moves (I only remember it having Night Shade and possibly Lick, maybe it also had Spite? I dunno).
--Finally, Staraptor and Empoleon tied for my fifth favorite Pokemon (excluding Electivire and legendaries of course, but I wouldn't dare ask for those)--Empoleon was my first starter on my DS, and Staraptor... well... had a sick cry, is modeled after a bird called "starling" (which is also a family name that I happen to have irl), is a beast, helped me out loads in my first playthrough of Pearl, and has a super duper AMAZING cry (twice for emphasis). I'm not going to ask for a Piplup, since I have a starter already, but if you want to put something from the Piplup evolution line into my PC (you would be doing it of your own accord, so do whatever you want with it), I would speak highly of you on my deathbed. That being said.... I would really really really like a Starly. Low level, standard moves from whatever route it can first be found in (Tackle and Growl probably), and male are preferable. Also Keen Eye is the preferable ability (my Staraptor had Intimidate).
I know I've only given five rankings worth (even though there are six Pokemon listed), but I want to keep my core to be concentrated-nostalgia. I don't want any fancy egg moves or anything, because I didn't use those as a kid, and would love for them to just have basic move pools so it feels more natural. I don't want any of them to have hidden abilities (except for Torchic's current Speed Boost--its fantastic) for the reasons I just listed.
This is a super long request so I apologize, but if you could at least get me a female Trapinch.... You would make the little kid in me very very very happy.
