NAMING SCHEME
platonic pokéship names follow a similar naming scheme as the more popularized romantic pokéship names, but swaps -shipping for a group term that signals how many people are apart of the platonic bond. ( example : leaf & red would be fireleafduo while blue & leaf & red would be rbgtrio. )below is a quick reference chart for which group terms to use!
| # of charas | group term | example |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | duo | fireleafduo |
| 3 | trio | rgbtrio |
| 4 | quartet / four | nuvemaquartet / elitechampionfour |
| 5 | quintet / five | galarquintet |
| 6 | sextet / six | n/a |
| 7 | septet / seven | n/a |
| 8 | octet / eight | n/a |
| 9 | nontet / nine | n/a |

-fam can also be used when denoting a familial bond.OTHER IMPORTANT INFO
