I get that. I think that when I was younger my favourite Pokemon was Charizard in the original Red (I got it at a Salvation Army store) and I loved it so much I literally didn't use any other Pokemon, just a single over-leveled Charizard soloing the game. Years later, Goodra became my favourite Pokemon. Unfortunately, one of my sister's friends stole the game from me, he confessed to doing it and refused to give it back, and there was nothing I could do because his parents wouldn't get him to give it back, and my Dad just believed that I lost it, which was pretty heartbreaking, forming a beloved Pokemon team and having someone take it away from you and tell you that they took your team away from you.
Gonna be brutally honest, though, I marked this thing as 'complete' mainly because I don't know if I want to continue it at the moment. The interactions have been great and I've gotten a lot of followers, views, and downloads from it, but there's a strong sense that the only reason for that is because it says 'Pokemon' in the title, which is a bit depressing since the visual novel I care most about right now is Pet Foxes which I'm kinda struggling to finish. Like, I worked on it a bit, got maybe 1/8 of the way through my ending then succumbed to a serious depression that lasted the entire day that I'm still not over. There's this sense that when the ending is uploaded and I can say that it's finished that no one will care enough to leave a comment or, well, just tell me that they enjoyed it, or even that they hated it, which somehow feels even more pathetic.
Without being too dramatic I do kinda think that if I do stop being depressed in such a weird way (I was told it might be a Fear Of Finishing) about Pet Foxes, I might just stop doing visual novels in general and find something else to occupy my time.
