different starter pokemon fanfiction

In fanfiction, a Pikachu as a starter (in some cases) could be shown as very energetic and curious. It might be constantly getting into little scrapes because of its inquisitive nature. A Torchic could be portrayed as a brave but a bit naive starter. It has big dreams of becoming strong but doesn't always understand the full scope of the challenges ahead. And an Eevee as a starter could be the very adaptable and mysterious one. It has the potential to evolve in many ways, and this could be a central part of its character arc in the fanfiction, with the trainer trying to figure out which evolution path is best for it.

If Ash had a different starter like Bulbasaur in fanfiction, his team composition would change significantly. He might focus more on grass - type Pokemon to complement Bulbasaur's abilities. His travels through different regions could be affected as well. Maybe he would be more drawn to areas with more plant - life where Bulbasaur could thrive. Also, his interactions with other trainers having fire - type starters would be more interesting due to type advantages and disadvantages.

You can make it unique by changing the personality of the starter. For instance, if it's a Pikachu as a starter (which is not a traditional starter), make it really grumpy and hard to please at first. Then, as the story progresses, the trainer has to find ways to bond with it.

Maybe the fanfiction could focus on a trainer who gets a starter that's considered weak, like a Caterpie. But through hard work and a series of adventures, the Caterpie evolves into a Butterfree with extraordinary powers. The story could be about how they overcome the prejudice against starting with a 'weak' Pokemon and prove themselves in battles and Pokemon contests.

Well, you could have a fanfiction where the starter pokemon are in a competition not just against other pokemon but also against each other for a special prize. The trainers are caught in the middle, trying to balance their loyalty to their pokemon and the desire to win. Another interesting angle is a story where a starter pokemon is misidentified as a different type at first. Say, a Bulbasaur that looks like a Charmander because of a rare genetic mutation. This causes all sorts of confusion and challenges for the trainer. Also, a plot where the starter pokemon are reincarnations of ancient pokemon heroes and the trainer has to unlock their past memories to help them reach their full potential.

If Ash had chosen Bulbasaur as his starter. His connection with nature could be even deeper. He might have explored more grass - type Pokémon habitats. In battles, he could use Bulbasaur's status - changing moves like Sleep Powder to gain an edge. And his rivals would need to adjust their strategies when facing a grass - type starter - led team. This would change the whole dynamic of his Pokémon journey.

If Ash chose a different starter, the story would change drastically. For instance, if he had a water - type starter, his travel routes might be different as he'd seek out areas with more water - type Pokémon to train and catch. His battles against Team Rocket would also be different. A water - type starter could easily put out their fire - type Pokémon like Arbok and Weezing. This would force Team Rocket to come up with new plans to steal Pikachu (if Pikachu was still with him).

In a Pokemon fanfiction with Ash and Mewtwo, it could start with Ash encountering Mewtwo in an unexpected place. Maybe in a hidden forest where Mewtwo is observing the wild Pokemon. Ash, being his curious self, tries to approach Mewtwo. Mewtwo, initially hostile, realizes Ash's pure intentions and they start an unlikely friendship. This could lead to many adventures where Ash and Mewtwo face various challenges together, like battling against a new, powerful and evil Pokemon organization.

If Ash had a Bulbasaur as his starter instead of Pikachu in the fanfiction, his team would likely have a more balanced early - game. Bulbasaur's Grass - type moves would be useful against Rock - type gyms early on. He might then focus on catching pokemon that can cover Bulbasaur's weaknesses, like a Fire - type or Flying - type pokemon to complement it.

It could be a Pikachu. Since Pikachu is often associated with Ash and could be considered a special kind of 'first' pokemon for him in a different take of the story.
