I have read some of the posts concerning Tyler, and have decided that I need to elaborate on his backstory.
Tyler’s father was killed in battle. Octo-Bug was his fathers Pokémon. Since he used Octo-Bug in battle, we can assume that Octo-Bug has been well trained. Any posts that have characters concerned about training Tyler’s Pokémon is false.
Tyler does not want Octo-Bug to be trained at all. In a post accidental reported by
@EmoKitty21 there was evidence that Octo-Bug has no interest in blacksmiths at all because he was a warriors Pokémon. That being said, Tyler does not want someone to take care of Octo-Bug, he wants him to join another Role in the guild. When Tyler flamed, he did not ask to train him for him, but to use Octo-Bug has a Pokémon to help train the newbies. See? Thank you
