I realized I never asked this thread my favorite Pokemon-related question. D: Figure now might be a good time since the Pokken news is still fresh in our minds.

Situation: Pokemon exist in our world. However, due to government regulations, each person may only own one Pokemon. Legendary Pokemon are protected species and as such cannot be caught. Battling is still legal within specialized recreational facilities, though. However, if a battle occurs outside of this, trainers are responsible for any collateral damage done by their Pokemon. All real world conclusions take place as a result of Pokemon actions. That is, yes, your Chandelure will attempt to burn someone else's soul, a Blastoise can kill on contact with its cannons, and yes, anything that sounds dangerous is dangerous. The sole exception is that Magcargo are not almost twice as hot as the sun (seriously wtf Pokedex...). For the sake of the prompt, you may not choose to forego Pokemon ownership.

Question: What Pokemon would you have as your partner and why? What issues would you need to be willing to put up with? Anything special you'd do with that Pokemon?

Lucario.
Reserved, strong, determined, intelligent. Things that would be great qualities to have on a person...but even better on something way cooler than a human. :4lucario:

Eevee. It's adorable, and probably wouldn't kill me (which is always a plus in my book).

I'd own a Stunfisk. Reason? It's a beautiful creature. I'd have to train it to not shock people though. Both in the electrical sense and the beauty sense of course. :troll:

I was about to jokingly say Hypno so I could get away with some shinnanigans... but then I realized it would mean it would probably try to make off with a young girl soooooo nope.

I dunno man, I'd just get an Eevee. Have it as an adorable pet, and if I wanted to ever get into battling, I'd give it a stone or something.


...Also, since Pokerus/the Poke virus is a thing, I wonder if everyone would overreact to that like we have so many other diseases.

This is where not readng the Pokedex becomes my downfall. . . Gardevoir is probably at the top of my list. Super loyal and helpful. Pretty powerful to boot.

Gallade and Lucario come right after for similar reasons. Clliche choices aren't they?
If we're going crazy then Nidoking, my favorite pokemon.
No real downsides.
Size?

Pokemon : Aegislash
Why : Ghost type is my favorite, and Aegislahs is a cool and powerful pokemon. I could have my own flying Sword and Shield to protect me, since it's a ghost/steel type it more than probably doesn't require food to survive and it's able to control living being with spectral power. Plus, it's a ghost pokemon that doesn't stole soul.

I was about to go with Salamence, but then I remembered it can be a bit... temperamental.

So I'll go with Haxorus, a strong, yet kind Pokémon that I'm sure will be a great partner to have by your side and will defend you if needed. Right after it would be Heliolisk due to being a adorable lizard that would be useful for gathering energy.

Pokeballs though.
2 AM me seems to have ignored one of the most iconic and important things of the series. Nice
Still wouldn't fin in a single room of my house.

I'm sure Gardevoir is the top of a lot of people on the internet's list
It's not lewd I swear!
Ralts was the first pokemon I ever caught and Gardevoir is cool. I'm not a perv >_> iin that sense at least

Pokeballs though.
Mating season.
Cleaning up mostly subconsciously spread pollen off of all your furniture is terrible. Even if you have it in a pokebal there's just an explosion of pollen when it comes out.....I suppose that could be useful in battle though.....

The Gastly line seems like a fun group, though.

Are you sure?
To steal the life of its target, it slips into the prey's shadow and silently waits for an opportunity.
It hides in shadows. It is said that if Gengar is hiding, it cools the area by nearly 10 degrees F.
Haunter is a dangerous Pokémon. If one beckons you while floating in darkness, you must never approach it. This Pokémon will try to lick you with its tongue and steal your life away.
It wraps its opponent in its gas-like body, slowly weakening its prey by poisoning it through the skin.

Well, you could just keep him in the backyard and not inside

I'm sure he'd be just as comfortable just standing around and soaking up sun

I always thought Pokémon wouldn't do anything really harmful that is said in their Pokédex description. The thought of that only gives me an image of Pokémon covered in sad stuff.

Instead I would picture them as how they look in the games instead of being exaggerately realistic, kinda like the commercials they do for the games. I would then treat my hypothetical Pikachu kindly instead of treating it like complete and utter **** like a person should do.

But Poké Puffs? Will I make it to the Pokémon Center in time? Will I have to pray for Arceus so that my Pokémon doesn't have any major injury?

I figure I may as well answer my own hypothetical as well. :p

It's tough since most of my favorites are overly dangerous in some way. Mainly Ursaring, Chandelure, Gengar, and Qwilfish. Very dangerous. Talonflame also gets this, since its speed is very close to that of a real peregrine falcon but also showers embers as it flies. And then there's Klefki that will probably make me accidentally steal someone else's keys and get arrested, but being a Prankster he won't get the jail cell key for me.

So that leaves...Castform. That'd be nice. Sweet, small, compact, and can change the weather if I need it to be a certain way. That and I can still be free of collateral damage fees since weather damage is considered an Act of God under insurance. :D

Plus I would have no need for tap water ever again since I can have it rain on demand. And I can't imagine Castform eat much. And as an added bonus they're absolutely adorable, too!

OK so I looked it up and
Gardevoir Pokedex entry said:
To protect its Trainer, it will expend all its psychic power to create a small black hole.
Apparently it doesn't matter what pokemon you choose, once one Gardevoir thinks it's trainer is in danger we're all dead anyway. . . Turns out my choice destroyed the planet. Not again. :/

I think I would like an Altaria. Could fly me places and it's got super soft, cuddly wings. It also learns some useful moves for this world like Flamethrower and Ice Beam.

Once a black whole starts eating, no matter how small, it will continue to grow and consume everything until there is nothing left to consume

Yep, Gardevoir would destroy the planet

As my favorite Pokemon, Volcarona is the Pokemon I jump to first...but I can't tell from its Pokedex entries if it just randomly spews embers or if that's a thing it could refrain from doing. If it isn't something that it automatically does, it seems to have a reputation as a kind protector, and it could keep me warm during the cold months so that'd be cool.

But assuming a worst-case scenario, I'll go with my second favorite, Tropius. It could take me places, it can feed itself through photosynthesis, and it grows its own fruit twice a year. And it sounds like it's generally a kind Pokemon since it allows kids to take its fruit, so there's that.

Ampharos is my second choice

The only thing bad about him is that his tail can glow so bright it can be seen from space

Meaning, you could possibly go blind if it's at it's brightest?

something i wish i could play
It's so difficult. I had even Japanese people try it, and they didn't know anything outside the prefecture they live in. It asks questions like "why is this intersection in this town famous?"...very particular knowledge...I've only been able to finish two regions of prefectures and that was using Google to cheat. It has a 0 chance of ever being localized as they would just need to remake the entire game.

Slurpuff if were going for favorite. Its got Flamethrower for a light, Surf if I ever need to take out a fire :p and to cross any bodies of water. It can also produce any smell, and has an excellent sense of smell as well. It could probably help me find some lost items of mine.

I've got a question

Does anyone have an idea which FNAF characters they would use as a party member?

Withered Bonnie is the only one I know for sure
