What would your life look like in the Pokemon universe?

[TAS_1K]

Let's say that Pokemon were real. This could take place in:

• An exact copy of our world
• Our world, but with the regions seen in the games as well
• The game's world with or without fan created regions/towns/etc.

Who would you be in that world and what would you do? What would your team of Pokemon be?

In a copy of our world that had Pokemon, I think that I'd still work with computers, and I doubt I'd use my Pokemon for battling very often outside of sparring for fun.

I know I'd have a Munchlax, and probably a Lickitung since he's one of my favorites. I like bulky tankish type monsters, so Venusaur or Bastiodon will be on the roster too. I'd want a Claydol too because they look cool and seem like they'd be friendly. For similar reasons as Claydol, Golbat or Drifblim would be there too.

[ellievoyyd]

claydoll and driflblim are awesome!!! i also have always loved golbat.

i shall certainly be a Channeler im not superstitious or believe in anything paranormal, but if pokemon were real i would absolutely be a channeler no doubt and spend all my time in lavender town aaaaaa!!! that would be so awesome

my lineup:

• Banette - my #1 favorite pokemon
• Muk - because slime is cool lol
• Shedinja - because super cute
• Koffing - cause he can levitate which is cool, and poison moves are cool + im a nerd for 1st gen
• Clamperl.... not ghost but... so cute ...
• prolly Magnemite because i still am a tech nerd :omg:k: but dont rly like the obvious choice of rotom

Lots of death and suffering, or maybe a very great life?

The Pokemon universe is pretty much revolved around battling Pokemon with other Pokemon which... Is not very optional.
Imagine just getting your own starter Pokemon from the whatever that place was called then out of no where a random kid comes up and challenges you to a fight. You try to walk out of it but then are forced into it. The kid gets out a Charizard and "knocks out" your newly acquired Pokemon.

If Pokemon was real then we would have a lot of questions on how to deal with the stuff that the games, anime, etc bring up.
While yes it would be cool to see actual Pokemon, but would it be worth seeing animals with powerful abilities battle to the death from two strangers because of a quick little challenge?

But let's not get our concerns in the way of exploring this new world.
In this world could be a whole new experience that people in the current universe would be in absolute auw at. A bunch of powerful living creatures that we have control over, and the plenty of ways we can use them. Imagine having a whole selection of Pokemon that together have the power to wipe out a whole park that a bunch of other less powerful Pokemon live on that you have to yourself.

While yes I may have answered none of the questions that you mentioned but I will answer one.

If the Pokemon world was real, what would you do?

My answer would be to not battle trainers. Even with a whole pile of cash on the line I still wouldn't do it. Why would I risk killing my Pokemon when I could keep them?
Yes, I maybe considered a wimp but It's just not worth it. I don't think you would have a dog battle a wolf so why battle a (Insert Pokemon name here) with a (Insert another Pokemon name here). It just doesn't make any sense IMO.

Site note, but something that always struck me about Pokemon is that it has no roads or mass transport. Almost all travels seems to happen on lil country roads, even between big cities. Its kinda like the 1800s, where there is a very different lifestyle depending on where you live, and areas in the wild are excellently lawless.

I think what appealed to me as a kid was the feeling of freedom in Pokemon, you could just walk out into the world and it was all like a big wild garden with cities and towns. I guess Id still like to grow up to be Ash, but when I look at my real life I guess Im more like professor oak

[ramenwaitress]

i feel like my pokemon adventure would start off in a small town, just like the game mcs. my life would be very sheltered up until i was around the age of 16, where i decide to go and travel on my own. i would probably avoid pokemon battles, unless it was for self defense purposes. my partner pokemon is a psyduck named peanut whom i've had since birth. along the way i'd probably get into some sort of trade while on my travels, probably learn how to read tarot cards and make rock jewlery to support my pokemon and i. as for the specific region im in, id probably pick unova since its the first in the series i was exposed to. while venturing in the caves, looking for crystals (and other various rocks and minerals) id meet a sabeleye, who i quickly befriend.


sorry, im not the best at writing out my ideas- i might expand on these small ideas and make my own story <333

[creaturefeature]

knowing me i would probably ended up as a pokemon professor/ or maybe a pokemon photographer.
I would probably have a ton ton of bug/water/ghost types to boot.
I would also be more interest in simply capturing pokemon to complete the pokedx( or raise them) instead of using them for battle.

I live in a sorta urban/ruralish area? so there wouldn´t a shortage of pokemon to observe.
as for my region, I think it would be pretty much be like the region from the new pokemon scarlet game.

[xX_irkeneonz_Xx]

I really don't know but given how much I bike around and like to explore around the cities I live near, I feel like I'd probably be a Pokemon trainer but would be too lazy to go for anything more ambitious and do competitions before managing whatever winnings I get to lay around for a month.

Since where I live is very swampy I feel as if I'd get like an Oddish, Mudkip, and Toxel to start and then later get a Mantine. I want to say I'd have a Porygon or Rotom but those might be too expensive in the Pokemon world.

[Pepyogurt]

I think I'm too faint-hearted in real life to endure Pokemon battles, so much of my daily Pokemon life may just be taking care of other people's pokemon, like a daycare worker! As for the Pokemons I'd have, I'd probably have a Flying, Grass, and Water type Pokemon. My ideal line up kinda looks like this:

• Pidgeot (I like birds, and a Pidgeot is big enough to fly me around)
• Treecko (I started with Pokemon Emerald, so a Treecko would technically be my first Pokemon)
• Clauncher (Skriiiiiimp!)

[debleb]

i think id just be a normal person and not a trainer but i would have a pokémon 2 be my buddy and help out through the day. probably a sceptile since sceptile has been my favourite since like i first started playing pokémon and it has hands and stuff so it would be a good helper.

[Memory]

I'd probably be working in Pokémon liberation.

[Memory]

I always thought I'd want to be a Pokemon nursery/daycare worker. Getting to meet lots and lots of different people and Pokemon from all over, new faces every day... watching eggs hatch! It sounds like a dream to me. But so does everything in Pokemon.  :b

[Memory]

Honestly? While I love the pokemon games and enjoy playing the role of the best trainer in the world, I'd most likely much prefer being either a daycare worker or a nurse for pokemon in real life. I'd rather let others do the battling while I provide the healing! And rather than having a whole team of pokemon behind me like in the games, I'd most likely stick to one or two in real life. Maybe... a Ratata and/or a Caterpie.

Normal/bug pokemon have always been my fav, and I tend to gravitate towards those who I assume aren't as loved within the franchise. Plus, irl bugs and rats are so cute <333

[Zombiethederg]

barging in to say I'm immediately leaving home and becoming the best possible dragon type trainer there ever was. Im not going to a gym leader role, im going to be some mystical traveler who builds a dragon den in the forest to host a slew of dragons (there would be rumors I have a Lugia / other legendary dragons that im hiding from the government), and every year when I get bored im going to emerge and do the entire gym leader circuit and absolutely DESTROY all of them including the champion. I will then donate my winnings to various causes and keep a lil bit for myself and the process would repeat

[eote]

if i lived in the pokemon universe i'd probably just be doing the exact same thing i am now but with like, seventeen skitties in my house

serious answer though, i'd love to be a pokemon researcher! i always thought it'd be so cool to be a marine biologist, so being able to just sail out to the middle of the ocean on the back of a lapras and conduct studies on my own sounds awesomeee.

i don't think i'd be much of a battler, but i would catch and release and breed pokemon as part of my research. my team would not be very strong, but very friendly and spoiled. my partner pokemon would be an unevolved skitty, and the rest of my team would consist of torracat, swampert (starter), and altaria.

this is actually really fun to think about :33

[SiLver]

I Think In a Pokemon world I'd still be doing what I do now: perusing knowledge about tech and related fields, but Id have a Pokemon companion to join me on the journey!

I think I'd have a bisharp, I'd like to have a Scolipede but I don't think that would be practical due to it's size and how much something that big would have to eat :P it would be like trying to keep a horse in your house.

Maybe along the journey I'd find some other Pokemon companions I feel a connection to, I think that's the fun of Pokemon: you don't know who or what youl meet, but youl be sure to find some friendly faces along the way.
