[pokemon] We all talk about what kind of pokemon teams we'd have irl, but, like. those are our dream lives. do you ever think about what kind of pokemon you'd realistically have? like. based on where you grew up. or lived.
I would probably have a Meowth who I waffle about evolving, a starly... maybe also a pretty grass Pokemon. I'd probably want to pick the really elegant ones but end up going for cute
there would've been a sizeable population of grimer and muk in the harbor a decade and a half ago??? at least i remember when i was small there were rumors that if you touched the water you'd die
based on my childhood pets, assorted cat Pokemon, assorted freshwater fish Pokemon, some Kricketots, and MAYBE SINCE IT'S POKEMON AND NOT REAL LIFE I'd own a Rapidash or Zebstrika instead of just riding someone else's
in terms of animals I grew up seeing around in the wild and would therefore reasonably have access to capturing, there were lots of antlion pits at one of my houses so I guess Trapinch, plenty of raccoons and skunks so Sentret and Stunky probably
