I CAN NEVER ESCAPE! (Bonus JH lore inside for those that care) · 12:07am Jun 15th, 2022
So, for those that don't know this, I really didn't get into Pokemon until generation 3 due to something that's not safe for work to be talking about publicly but let's just say that I dropped several of my games into the toilet when I was younger so let's just leave it at that. Because this, a lot of my game data from the original Pokemon Blue, original Pokemon Silver, the original Sapphire, and the origianl ruby got corrupted as a result. This really sucked because in that original file of Pokemon Ruby, when I went out of my way to capture a Mawile just to capture one, the one I ended up capturing was female. I proceeded to nickname this Mawile "Molly". In honor of that memory, during Ark 5 for the justice hero story which is a retelling of Pokemon Emerald, I had my OC self capture a female vegetarian Mawile and called her Molly just like the first Mawile I had ever caught.
...Just one problem with what I had done that I had no idea that I had set upon myself when I did this. When I got Pokemon Y when it first came out, and I hunted a Mawile in that game, the first mawile I encoutered was once again FEMALE. Years later, when I decided to emulate Pokemon Ultra Sun, when I found out Mawile was obtainable, I decided to hunt for one. BUT ONCE AGAIN, the first mawile I encountered was female. A similar thing happened when I emulated Pokemon Omega Ruby: The first mawile I encountered was also female. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and while doing a practice playthrough of Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness, the Shadow Mawile ended up being FEMALE there too.
But this all came to it's strongest conclusion just recently, when while playing an online MMO version of Pokemon I ended up catching a Mawile. Wanna take a guess as to what it's gender was? If you guessed female, then you would be correct.
I CANNOT ESCAPE! When I had honored this memory of that first Mawile I ever caught, I had NEVER expected that ultimatly I would curse myself with the first mawile I encounter to capture in all future Pokemon games to ALWAYS be female whenever I WANT to capture one. It's like my destiny to always have Molly the Mawile fresh on my mind. I know I made Molly the Mawile be in love with my OC self, but THIS is just absurd at this point.
