-Personality Stuff-
Likes:
+ Swimming - Being a Water type, swimming just comes naturally to him. It was what he was born to do, and he enjoys it because the water is easier to move around in.
+ Rain & Snow - The rain and snow are two weather conditions that Bubbles thoroughly enjoys. The rain brings fresh water, washes away impurities, and dampens the warm ground. Snow, on the other hand, is just delightful even if it is cold.
+ Sleeping - Sleeping is wonderful, no matter who you are. Specifically, though, he loved dreaming. He loved to have good dreams of playing in the water and seeing all the distant oceans, rivers, and seas that are not apart of his river home.
+ Lazy - Bubbles doesn't like to be interrupted and bothered to do hard work or walking around. Being lazy is simple, easy, and enjoyable and that's why its one of his favorite things.
Dislikes:
+ Running & Walking - Walking around is strenuous already with a shell. Running is rather out of the question for Bubbles.
+ Electric Pokemon - No one likes getting shocked, especially Water types! That inept fear of being electricuted doesn't sit well with him, mainly because it really hurts.
+ Storms, Thunder & Lightning - Thunder is loud and disturbing and warns of a coming storm. He isn't fond of storms, in general, because they tend to bring destruction, howling winds, and lightning. Lightning, along with Electric Pokemon, can shock and electricute him. He doesn't enjoy the pain inflicted from such things.
+ Disturbed - Don't wake Bubbles from one of his naps! If there's anything he hates, its having a good dream interrupted by some careless Pokemon with no regard for another's naps!
+ Fire Pokemon - Fire types are, in his experience, ... Fiery. They are quick to anger and they're often pushy. Being lazy results in him not liking to be bossed around, or for that matter -- snapped at.
Motivation:
Motivation, or lack there of, is something Bubbles seems to not care too much about. He's all about lazing about on a warm day in the shallow waters of a stream or river. If given the opportunity to go on an adventure, he'd most likely decline it, preferring to keep to areas of which he's familiar with. It isn't that he dislikes having a good time, he just prefers to keep close to home.
Strengths:
Bubbles isn't exceptional for a Squirtle, in most categories, but he does excel in some. Particularly those that involve the water. He's an excellent swimmer, and his very quick to learn maneuvers in aquatic settings. He's particularly agile and can turn on a dime.
And when it comes to his personality, you could say that his stubbornness is sometimes a good thing. He's very peculiar about what he does, and when he does things and that involves a lot of planning. He's very good at deciding what move would be the best to take. He's very easy to please, not too picky of a Pokemon. He's more often happy than distraught and his optimism is only beaten by his generosity. He's extremely generous, offering his spot on the warmest spot of the rock for elders or the young.
Weaknesses/Flaws:
Even though he's a very sharp for a Squirtle, his tendancies to refuse to do anything tend to give a lot of Pokemon the wrong impression. He likes things the way he likes them, and he wants things to be kept that way. Anything out of the normal routine tends to put him on edge and he can get a little snappy or frustrated. While he is typically optimistic, he can be very pessimistic if things are changed. Change really does not sit well with him.
Bubbles also suffers from being, unfortunately, gullible. If you were to tell him that he was going to win the lottery, he'd believe you. This tends to lead to pranks being pulled against him. Because of this, he's severed many friendships because they've taken advantage of his trust in others. And it's a problem for him because he tends to trust others too quickly, and too much.
He may be a sharp learner in the water, but when it comes to on-land activities, he tends to fall behind. He lacks motivation to work hard, or do anything that seems to be too much trouble. If he has too, for a friend or family member, he's all the more willing to complain-- and loudly.
He's also not particularly intellegant in the smarts compartment. It takes him a little bit longer to figure simple things out, as long as it doesn't involve the water. This is often accredited to the fact that he's extremely lazy.
Fears:
+ That's shocking! - Bubbles has been shocked before. It was such a traumatic experience for him that he avoids Electric types at all costs. He doesn't want anything to do with them, even if they happened to be the nicest Pokemon around. To him, who they are doesn't matter. He's too caught up in his fear of being electrocuted to care.
+ Screw the Desert! - Water. It has to be near by or he begins to panic. Because of his atonement with his type, he live without it. He depends too much on a water source to attempt to wander away from it. This can also be accredited to the fact that he gets around so much easier in the water, and the idea of walking around on land is just too hard for him to do for long periods of time.
+ Which way was home again? - One of the biggest things that concerns for Bubbles is getting lost. He is absolutely terrified of walking away from his river home and never returning back. He once wandered away in pursuit of a friend and got lost. It took him days to be found by his friends. Ever since he's been afraid of wandering away too far.
Personality:
Overall, Bubbles is particularly simple for a Pokemon. He's content where he is and he has absolutely no drive to go on an adventure. He's lazy, and habit of saying 'no' before thinking about decisions-- but when he does think about the options before him, he does a good job at going with the best course of action. It may take him a while however, because he isn't the brightest egg in the bunch. He's susceptible to trickery and deceptions, which has led to the loss of many friendships. If given the option to swim over walk, he'd swim any day at any time over walking for a small amount of time. He's willing to support his friends and family, but not without a few vocalized complaints if the work is too hard or bothersome. Bubbles is typically happy if left to his own devises, but when disturbed he can turn nasty and frustrated. He just wants to live his life, at the river, and swim. He does, however, dream of seeing the world's oceans and other bodies of water outside of his own.
