The Pokemon characters, when made anthro, can be developed by giving them human - like traits. For example, Pikachu as an anthro could have a love for certain human foods, or a fear of heights which is a very human - like phobia. Their relationships with Ash could also change, becoming more like friendships between equals rather than just trainer - Pokemon relationships.
Their relationship can develop through shared experiences in battles. For instance, when they face a tough opponent together, they start to trust each other more. Ash might learn to rely on Anthro Suicune's unique abilities, like its ability to sense danger from afar.
The characters can be developed through their relationships. If there is a female lead in the fanfiction who is a battling beauty, her relationship with Ash could grow. She could teach Ash about the fashion and presentation side of the Pokemon world, while Ash teaches her about the raw power and strategy of battling. This mutual learning can change their personalities. Ash could become more refined in his approach, and the female lead could become more confident in her battling abilities.
They could also develop their characters through conflict. For instance, they might have different ideas on how to handle a difficult situation involving a wild and aggressive Pokemon. This disagreement could lead to them learning from each other and growing as individuals, while also strengthening their friendship.
In a fanfiction, Ash's character can be developed by showing his growth in non - battle aspects. Shauna could introduce him to the beauty of Pokemon contests. As he participates in these with her, he becomes more well - rounded. Shauna, on the other hand, could develop her battling skills under Ash's tutelage. She might start to use more aggressive strategies instead of just relying on her Pokemon's natural charm. This back - and - forth development between them would make their relationship more interesting and complex.
To develop their characters further, a fanfiction could put them in a situation where they have to save a group of endangered Pokemon. Ash's impulsive nature and Burgundy's more calculated approach could either clash or complement each other. Through this experience, they both learn to adapt and grow. Ash might become more patient, and Burgundy might become more open - minded, which would enhance their individual characters and their relationship.
For Ash, his character could be developed further by showing his growth in understanding different Pokemon cultures. With Molly, he could learn new ways of interacting with Pokemon that are different from what he's used to. For example, if Molly has a closer bond with water - type Pokemon due to her origin, Ash could learn from her how to better communicate with them.
Greta could be developed by exploring her backstory more. Maybe she has a special reason for being so passionate about fighting - type Pokemon. Also, her interactions with Ash could lead to her becoming more open - minded about other Pokemon types. She might start to incorporate different strategies that Ash uses into her own battling style.
One way to develop their characters further is through a story arc where they are separated from their Pokemon for a while. Ash, who is so used to having his Pokemon by his side, would have to rely on his own wits and survival skills. He might discover new strengths within himself. Lily, too, would be in a similar situation. When they reunite, they could share their experiences and have a newfound respect for each other. Also, they could get involved in a diplomatic mission in the Pokemon world, representing different regions. This would require them to be more diplomatic and understanding of different cultures, which would add new layers to their characters.
For Ash, he could be developed further by showing his growth in understanding the more delicate and nurturing aspects of Pokemon care from Erika. Maybe he starts to learn about different types of Pokemon food and habitats that Erika is an expert in. For Erika, she could be shown to become more adventurous like Ash, willing to step out of her comfort zone of her garden. For example, she could join Ash on one of his more daring quests.
For Ash, his character can be developed by showing him learning from Zinnia's more in - depth knowledge of Pokemon lore. He could become more patient and strategic in his battles. For Zinnia, she could develop by opening up more to Ash and others. Maybe she starts to see the value in Ash's more straightforward and passionate approach to Pokemon training.
