from here, right side, "player's poll".
i mean, that's a silly question, isn't it? the phrasing of the question implies that i am have become a pokemon for reasons beyond my control, so why would i be able to determine which variety of pokemon i would become? if you woke up one day transformed into a pokemon, which would you be? whichever type the mysterious forces that transformed me decided i would be, i guess! _________________

Mystery Dungeon dictated that I would be a Meowth. |

judging from the choices available, i'm pretty sure they just took whatever was available to you in that mystery dungeon game.
which, yeah, was convinced that everybody on the planet was a mudkip. |

I'd have to pick Pikachu out of that list, but that's like saying your favorite Harry Potter character is Harry Potter. |

I've only heard of one character on the list. I guess... I should play Pokemon?
The major thing that's kept me from doing so is that the games defiantly only have one save slot, so any time I've tried to pick up someone else's copy and mess around, I've been forced to quickly put it down again. _________________

Oop, thought that was a girl.
And this is a horrible poll. No Meowth or Squirtle. I disapprove. |

perhaps the poke-morphosis has some kinda limited calvinist determinist thing going on, so while you didn't have a choice in your change, you have a limited kind of choice in terms of what you change into? _________________

I played Pokemon back in high-school. It was fun... The oddest thing, though, was that, a about six months ago, on my last day as balloon delivery boy, I was paired with a new worker, who played pokemon red on his GBC all through the ride, singing "it feels to be good a ganster."
Weird times, weird times. _________________

I'd totally be a psyduck. Except that horrible game decided that I was to be a Charmander.
Psyduck is a possibility in that game. _________________

If given the choice of all the Pokemon, I think I'd like to be Squirtle, since he can swim, shoot water jets, and he evolves into Blastoise.
I like this thread. |

I want to be an intelligent Pokemon capable of high-level logical reasoning and human speech who also does not get eaten by other Pokemon.
Which would probably make me one of those strange creator-god Pokemon that turn up in the later games and totally fuck up any kind of logical understanding of the universe.
One of the few very worthwhile things that happened to me in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon was when my Meowth got a custom rescue base and it turned out to look exactly like his head. Not many things cause me to pump my fists and shout "Fuck yes!", but that did it.
I don't have a picture of it right now so I'll just check Google image search JESUS FUCKING CHRIST now I need to throw up |

If I woke up and found out I was a Pokémon I'd "oh shit I'm a Pokémon now" and then I'd go on a mass rampage or something. _________________ "This is the most fun I've ever had without being drenched in the blood of my enemies!" |

I'm disappointed with all the clever answers we've had since me and Wes retooled this into the 'State clearly and without irony which Pokemon you'd like to be and why' thread. |

You can't go on a rampage as a Pokemon. It's not like you're Godzilla. The military would just shoot a bunch of bullets into you until you ARE DEADED.

Charmander.
The only one I recognize that's not Pikachu.
All I know about Pokemon I learned from Pokemon Puzzle League and maybe a cartoon or two.

You know, questions like this disturb me on a fundamental level - not when posed from forums like ours, but specifically when posed from certain other forums.
Blind mudkip responses aside (/b/tards all) any response indicates an admission to, at least on some level, a desire to become a creature with essentially no destiny. Any pokemon exists only to repeat its own name, become captured by some petulant child, and then subject to duel after duel.
I mean, I know it's supposed to be all in good fun, but that's really all I can think of right there. _________________

The question isn't 'would you become a pokemon, a creature with no ambition or desitiny, or remain a human', it's 'you have become a pokemon for reasons beyond your control, choose which pokemon you would be'. DAMMIT CHOOSE A POKEMON |

I guess that's too rooted in statistics, you have to express it in more naturalistic terms , like 'the beast has one foot in the world of men and another in the world of sorcery' |
