Too early to tell yet, BUT one area has statues of Dratini and Milotic, so I'm guessing they'll be available somewhere.Darlings, are there feebases and Dratinis for me to catch in this new world? Or must this banking commerce released in December be the only option? ; . ;
It seems to me that each route has more available species this generation than in previous ones.
My party is currently made up of:
-Blaise (Delphox), named after Merlin's tutor in Arthuric tradition.
-Dante (Charizard), named after the poet
-Blaziken, from the event. Speed Boost is EVIL.
-Dee (Sandile), diminutive form of (Crocodile) Dundee.
-Kasumi (Lapras), gifted on Route 12. Named after the Japanese for mist.
-Mary (Flaffy), as in Mary had a little lamb. Also diminutive form of Mareep
Dee and Mary are there to gain EXP, while my Fire trio and Kasumi deal with the heavy lifting.
Notable past members (starting from when they joined):
-Ambush (Scatterbug), named after Ambush Bug, a DC Comics character, as it was the very first wild Pokémon I met.
-Willard (Weedle), from a line from the David Soul song, Kristopher David. (Willard the wasp.)
-Pidgey, couldn't think of a nickname.
-Ashley (Zigzagoon), the first female Pokémon I caught.
-Carrie (Fletchling), after the Robin/
Catgirl
-Pika (GUESS), reusing the nickname from Yellow.
-Sekhmet (Litleo), after the lioness headed Egyptian goddess of destruction.
-Pansage, couldn't think of a nickname.
-Azumarill, couldn't think of a nickname.
-Arthur (Amara), back formed from: Arctic > Art/Artie > Arthur. If I'd thought to save before getting it revived, I'd have save scummed to get a female I'd have called Gertie.
-Thumper (Steelix), received in an in-game trade.
Uncertain about my squad make-up going on. Looking at Serebii's list of gym leaders, level wise my previous main squad (Fire starter trio, Azumarill, Pika and Arthur) could probably brute force their way through gyms they don't have a type advantage over for the immediate future. Just bested Korrina earlier.
EDIT--
Although they aren't in my party, I want to highlight two other nicknamed Pokémon, both of whom are Honedge: Gramocles (male) and Saber (female). Gramocles cos I think the German name for Honedge is much cooler (Gram + Sword of Damocles), and Saber because I didn't realise at first they'd be gendered, so when the first Honedge I found was female...
