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?
Hypothetical Pokemon questions are always fun.
