So after playing around with different ideas for pokemon, I found a few replacement ideas for Niko. I never really grew a liking for him and didn't have a lot of ideas for him. So I came down to three ideas for a possible replacement but don't really know which one's best, or if I should just scrap him whole without a replacement or if I should just keep him. So I was hoping you guys could help me decide.
Hibiscus. // Female Leafeon. // A very shy, reserved pokemon with a dislike for battling. She's paranoid, always hiding behind Kimon or Ruby whenever she gets nervous or frightened. She gets startled easily and will freak out if something comes out of nowhere. On her left ear, she has a small yellow Hibiscus flower attached to a string of leaves around her ear, she uses her photosynthesis to keep it healthy and alive.
Percy. // Male Pachirisu. // A very mischievous, yet quiet little guy with a love for messing with Nimbus. He thinks of him as a role model and does all he can to be like him. He's very cocky though, believing that he is stronger than his teammates, which will usually result in mishaps that Kimon has to sort out. He doesn't wear any accessories.
Athena. // Female Heracross. // A very outgoing, and hyper pokemon. She's always doing something, whether it be training, walking around, messing with Ruby, etc. And will sulk when she can't do anything. She dislikes when she's told to calm down, and will pout when done so. Much like Ruby, whenever she finds fit, she'll pout and not listen to anyone. She does not wear an accessory.
I personally like Hibiscus and Percy more, but I still can't decide which one would be a good replacement for Niko.
