Do you grow attatched to your pokemon?

Let me put it this way: you know how in the games, you have slots for 6 mons? In my game, I only have 1 slot. It takes incredible effort for me to even think about switching out one of my team members, and I have yet to ever remove my starter from my team. It's gotten to the point where I've got a Five-Man Band going, with the last slot for the Sixth Ranger. To wit:

• The Hero: Samurott. A cool old samurai with an epic beard.
• The Lancer: Terrakion. Locks horns with Samurott all the time.
• The Big Guy: Beartic. Barely above Hulk Speak, but his heart's always in the right place.
• The Smart Guy: Galvantula. As hyperactive as he is cunning.
• The Chick: Ninetales. A Cool Big Sis who everyone pines for.

Sixth rangers include: Fearow, Sawsbuck, Golurk, Chandelure, and Bisharp. Oh, and Egg.

Yup. I've even given them all funny personalities in my head. I might never be able to restart White version...

The Hero: "PALKIA "
The Lancer: Volcano (Volcarona) tends to get mad whenever someone messes with him. The Big Guy: Haxorz (Haxorus), especially since he knows Strength.
The Smart Guy: Grasshole (Serperior). It seems like Positive Discrimination since mine is a female, but that's another story for another time.
The Chick: Blaziken...in spite of the fact that he's a dude, but his main purpose is keeping the team from fighting each other.
The Sixth Ranger: These include Black Mage the Chandelure, Leafy the Simisage, Red Mage the Victini, various other Pokemon, and Eggs.

I sort of grow attached to my Pokemon, but my younger brother doesn't like it when I transfer Pokemon from his games...

I didn't really feel much for my pokemon until Heartgold. HEARTGOLD CHANGED FUCKIN' EVERYTHING.

I wish they would have kept the Front-Pokémon-Walks-Behind-You thing of Soul Silver/Heart Gold in BW. That was really a great addition.
