I’m the one being trolled in this game I’m going to share, I know my friend for a while and he challenged me so he could test his team, we had a nice chat and all but I want to beat him next time we battle and he changes his team to something unexpected and off meta every time, idk how to keep up :P.

Making a story about Florian and Juliana from sv as twins as a way to share the 8 pokemon I used most during my playthrough of sv. I’m struggling a bit with how I should write the character traits of the twins. My goal is to write them to work better together, but it isn’t always easy for them to be together. With some prior help I settled on making Florian think that pokemon grow through testing themselves, so he thinks that respecting his partner’s potentials is to make them as strong as they can be. Juliana will treat her team as companions and won’t push them too hard. I’m struggling finding a balance of being flawed and being unlikable, as well as making Florian not come off as arrogant or accidentally making Juliana coming off as being nervous all the time in battle, which I don’t want to happen, my intention is for Juliana to just be hesitant around pushing her team too hard. I’m asking for help on what traits I should give these two characters, as when I try to, I don’t like the result. No pressure if you don’t want to, but help is appreciated.
(btw for those wondering the mons on their teams are; Skeledirge, Kilowattrel, Lokix, and Scovillain for Florian, and Quaquaval, pawmot, shiny Esparthra, and Dondozo for Juliana)
My niece adores Pokemon and she loves it when I (29 F) make stories about things she loves (mostly Pokemon). She recently got me into Pokemon and as I finish up with my novel about a fictional chess cheater debunking and defying expectations (novel coming out sometime soon, fingers crossed!) I want to make a story about the two protagonists as twins, finding their treasure (passing the victory road and defeating champion evaluator Geeta to be evaluated as a champion, which in this world I took as passing the final exam) alongside Nemona, Arven, and Penny. My problem is that I don’t know good character motivations for what look like 13 year olds in the game, as well as what the dynamic should be. I have a general idea of what the team members should be. I want a general dynamic between the two twins to be: they work better together, but it isn’t easy for them to be together, but it’s not clicking for me.
