Had an idea for a Pokémon TTRPG I’m developing. Essentially, you would choose a “style” for your trainer when you start the game: Beautiful, Cool, Cute, Smart, or Tough. And if you have high friendship with certain Pokémon when they evolve, they will evolve into a “Style Form” with a new type and ability, matching the style of your trainer! Sort of a way to make your Pokémon your own, as well as to embody your friendship with your Pokémon.
Anyway, here’s Gengar, the guinea pig for this idea! In a U from left to right, Beautiful, Cool, Cute, Smart, and Tough Gengar!

I wish pokemon could take forms like that depending on the IV training
This is an awesome idea! Would love to see more Pokémon you come with
I love that the Cute form looks similar to Clefairy to lean into the fan theory that Gengar is it’s shadow or something.
3rd one is incredible, feels like if Gengar was designed in the modern gens
Really love these! Always thought the contest types were underrated and this is a cool expansion on that
This is definitely a cool idea. Thinking about it, it does feel a bit Monster Rancher like in how that series handles sub-breeds.
Would all these gain new types? My only criticism is that it might become very hard to make a type varied team if a ton of Smart options are Psychic, for example
Oh I love this concept
