Hickory the shiny Arboliva is the latest addition to my Pokésona’s team. He is an older specimen, hence why his crown, arms and collar has more leaves.

He is reserved yet gentle, usually seen by himself or near Lynn. He is quite smitten with her Leavanny, Wildvine, though.

Hickory began offering the Nurturing Pokémon some of his special, nutritious oil while he’s either hard at work repairing Lynn’s clothes or looking after her smaller and younger Pokémon. Hickory assists as he’s also a great caretaker, sharing his oil with them, as well.

To repay the Olive Pokémon’s generosity, Wildvine made Hickory a cloak befitting his regal visage, complete with an ivory clasp he crafted from a naturally shed baby tusk of a Donphan.

To say Hickory was flattered would be an understatement.

First art done on my new laptop. I gave up on the background, but love how the leaf dads came out. Tried something different with the lineart, which thankfully worked well for this.

How did you get hyperfixated on your four favorite Pokémon each? What's the story on how you like them so much?

For Cinderace, Arboliva, Blaziken and Leavanny, it's basically the same story:

I see them in either promo art or later in their premiere games themselves (I usually go into these games blind so I can be surprised)

Sometimes it's not until after watching them in the anime when I'll develop a hyperfixation for them. This was the case for Arboliva. I didn't really think much of his species aside from how useful he is in Tera Raids with is Seed Sower ability and that I loved when one showed up. Then I saw that specific Arboliva in the anime; the explanation for him is later in this post

I obtain these Pokémon if I'm able to. For example, in "Violet", I had to wait until Cinderace and Blaziken became available in Tera Raids. I also recently bought the SV DLC and was very excited upon seeing Sewaddle, which meant that I could then get Leavanny, who is unavailable in the main game

I name them (often after other favorite characters) and give them their own personalities based on their Natures. Though I forgot what my Arboliva's was and made him entirely different than what his in-game Nature is, lol

I sometimes make up little stories about them and my Pokésona and draw them, which makes me feel a better connection with them

I suppose the reason why I get hyperfixated on specific characters depends on how they are shown interacting with other characters and what their personalities are like and/or how well their design appeals to me.

Cinderace, Arboliva, Leavanny and Blaziken have all shown some level of protectiveness towards their trainers and/or friends, which is a trait I really love, especially when its paternal protectiveness or the "Papa Wolf" trait, as I've called it many times. Leavanny is especially known for being so nurturing and parental and won't hesitate to cut up any threat to his loved ones!

The majority of my Pokémon are male (and I often refer to these 4 as such), with a few exceptions like a couple female-only species such as Hatterene and Tsareena, so I tend to put that trait on a lot of them.

Of course other Pokémon have also shown this kind of behavior, as most are naturally protective towards ones they love and care about.

There's just something extra about these four that I just gravitated towards. I can't really pinpoint it.

Also, the specific Arboliva in the above GIF is a gentle giant, which is another favorite trait of mine! He's far larger (for whatever reason, probably because he's over a century old) than what his species typically are! He's why I adore the species so much now, even after seeing them in the game many times.

Why do you have Arboliva brainrot now? Lol
