I feel like I would be a Prof in the Pokémon universe. Just interested in studying, experiments, generally dilletante shit and fieldwork.
No desire for fame or publishing if I can get around it or get someone else to take credit for it as long as I get a little scratch
Edit: try and keep things nice at 69%, lol
There’s no animals in Pokemon but you always see them eating meat in the cartoon. I would go on a quest to eat all the Pokemon. At least the original 151.
Gotta eat 'em all.
There are actually non-pokemon animals in Pokemon, both the games and in the anime.See this Bulbapedia article. Although Takeshi Shudō has claimed that animals have gone extinct by the time the anime takes place. Also it seems humans do eat some Pokemon.
Thank you so much for this! I love the granularity of people’s knowledge here and this was a super provocative notion for me that I failed to interrogate further absent your piping up :)
Thanks again
I’m racking my brain trying to figure out what I would be, but this is probably it. Food is probably the biggest part of my personality.
I like shorts! They’re comfy and easy to wear!
If I ended up in the Pokemon universe, I’d be fighting for Pokemon rights. Clearly, these creatures are fully sentient. They fluently understand human language, and even one (Meowth) can speak. We have no right to capture and force them to fight. Also, I would fight to help teach them human languages or unlock the secrets to their “language”, so we may better communicate.
We don’t “force” them to do it. This is repeatedly established to be something they enjoy doing. BW even has this as a plot point: N, a young man who is somehow able to understand Pokémon, is initially of the same point of view as you. To his astonishment, most Pokémon outright refuse to abandon their trainers. At first he chalks this up to some form of brainwashing, but over the course of the game he comes to realize that their desires to train and become stronger are in fact genuine. He ultimately decides it isn’t right for him to decide what they want for them, and spends the sequel targeting abusive trainers exclusively as opposed to tearing down the institution of Pokémon training in it’s entirety. >!There’s also some stuff about a bigger big bad grooming him to be the face of Team Plasma while he controls the group from the shadows, complete with strongly implied child abuse. Oh, and the reason the bigger bad wants to “liberate” Pokémon to begin with is so that no trainer can oppose his own team when he goes for world domination. You know, typical RPG stuff!<
When I was a younger I made up a dark type gym leader OC who’s thing is he acts like an edgelord when he’s on the clock but is otherwise pretty chill when he punches out. I always thought it was a pretty funny concept that I’d love to see in a game. So that’s me.
Were you ok otherwise, I’m curious about the whole edge-lord schtick as a lifestyle even while recognizing that we all get fed-up sometimes and spout some bullshit lol. Nobody is innocent or at least I know I sure as hell am not but I hopefully get downvoted if I have no articulable basis and its just as well
Yeah, I was fine. Mostly. Probably. I just thought it would be a funny concept to have a character like that who’s dark and brooding exclusively when he’s on the job, and is friendly to just about everyone the rest of the time.
I’m a pokemon breeder. You never get to fight me because I’m always telling you whether there’s an egg or not, but if you got to see my perfect IV, perfect EV, perfect nature team, every single one is shiny.
And a side effect of all that needless effort is that I’m frickin loaded.
My appearance is the Alolan girls’ (braids, cowboy hat, overalls).
Need a better, less kinky name for me though.
I dub thee:
PokéMadame
10/10 name! Are you a Name Rater?
You missed an option:
Elite 4.
I’d be in the elite 4 as a total wildcard using metronome & OHKO’s as my only attacks with all of my Pokemon.
I’m a speed runner’s nightmare
Thats sort of a Gym Leader in a way or at least in line with Champion I guess. Like your sort of the Champion of that type or whatever the schtick is hehe
I would be a Snorlax.
…does that count as a valid answer?
Probably some other NPC that does some highly specific thing. Like the name rater, or whatever.
Not important in the grand scheme of things, but people all over the world come for that one weird task I can do, and that’s enough for me.
I’m the mom/dad.
I’m so proud of my kid!
(I have no clue what they’re doing, I just know at age 10, every child has to leave home).I like the EarthBound parentz
K, I love this answer! Like my fave, not only does this sound exactly like Ash’s mom (who I adore), but its so pure and wholesome. You actually are a parent right? Doesnt matter honestly but I just love this so much
No, this is Patrick!
I don’t feel like I’m to the level of Pokémon professor, but I do feel like I would be something along the lines of a Pokémon teacher or maybe the gym guy.
Luv the @gym_guys aha. Every-a-body likes to feel useful
I’m one of those girls that are obsessed with ghost types.
I don’t particularly care for ghost pokemon, but it’s important to have goals
Ghost gym leader, which would be kind of ironic given how easily scared I am, but ghost types are so cool. And everyone loves horror/reaction content, so I could make a whole game and stream out of a haunted house.
I guess that means I’d have to have some responsibility over the town my gym is in, but I guess I can live with that.
A gym leader terrified of their own Pokemon would be hilarious!
Pokémon trainer aspiring to be a gym leader but I have too balanced of a team to pick one gym.
What types?
My last team was dark, grass, fire and ghost.
How did you settle on that, pree specific?
They looked cool and they were strong.
Nice, sounds cool. Who was your flagship pokemon?
I don’t remember exactly and I can’t check because I gave my copy to my brother but from what I remember my frontliners were Ceruledge and Meowscarada.
Rock/Ground/Steel gym leader. There are a lot of chonky lizard bois and I am going to love them all, even as a 12 yr old destroys my shit with a monotype starter.
