It's all fun and games until someone throws a ball at you and enslaves you.
Wrong pokemon probs. Would you want to be like-- a Nidorino or some shit, or would you want a bipedal frame? (granted, Gen 1 was kinda lacking in GOOD bipedal frames without becoming something people didn't even believe existed; but I digress. Wouldn't have minded being like. A Kadabra, or a Hitmonlee or smth.)
If you're a Nidorino but you want a bipedal frame just evolve. Skill issue.
The art is inconsistent, sometimes Nidoking and Nidoqueen are drawn with opposable thumbs, sometimes not.
Yeah you'd think a furry of all people would understand that being turned into an animal without opposable thumbs wouldn't be as fun
Reasons why Linoone is the optimal pokemon to transform into:
Hitmonlee sounds great, until you get hungry. Dude has no mouth.
As a kid i figured it was some horrible "The Fly" sort of thing, and his mutated boneless apendages wouldnt let him hit the any key.
Unrelated, but I remember my primary school biology teacher using The Fly as an argument against teleportation. It only dawned on me years later that she was talking to a primary school kid about a Cronenbergian horror
I don't mean to kinkshame anyone but it's all fun and games until someone captures you, shrinks you down and stores you in their balls.
Strikes me that being a Pokemon in the Pokemon universe would be pretty horrifying, the potential to be caught and forced to fight for some snot-nosed 12 year old the rest of your life is too high.
This is why they made Mystery Dungeon, for more effective furry propaganda :)
