my (realistic) pokemon team
if you've been on tiktok over maybe the past 1 or 2 weeks, you may have seen a trend of videos emerge in which people come to the internet to share their "Realistic Pokemon Teams". not a team they've created in a game, not a team they wish they could have if pokemon were real; just 6 pokemon that they (if we lived in a universe where pokemon roamed the earth with us) could actually obtain. theres a couple different categories of how people decide that a pokemon is one they could 'realistically' get:
1. pokemon found in the fictional region that is based on the real place they live in (ex. if they live in hawaii, they could find alolan pokemon)
2. pokemon that are similar to the native wildlife around them (ex. if they live in a mountainous region, they could claim that a skiddo is realistic)
3. pokemon that relate to experiences in their life (ex. someone studying nursing could say they have a chansey)
4. pokemon where they're like 'ok just give me this one' (aka a pokemon that isnt some crazy legendary but doesnt fit into the previous categories)
i love the concept of pokemon and i like assigning pokemon to people as i have done before with people such as f** b*** (groupchat name censored for self-respect reasons). when i was still young enough where i attended summer day camps, i remember i would spend extra time in the art room instead of going out to play soccer or interact with fellow campiers so i could work on drawing my friends and i as pokemon trainers. either that or i would design my own gym leaders (i loved creating water type characters, i remember that specifically). i cant say i was ever, like, a pokemon fanatic like some people are. i collected and traded cards as a kid on the bus to school (until they banned them on the bus and at school because kids would make room in their backpacks for Pokemon Binders instead of Homework Binders LOL), i watched the tv show when it came on cable, and i even got really addicted to that discord pokebot where you had to memorize the names of all the pokemon in order to 'catch' them before other server members. oh, and also i played pokemon go obviously. but a lot of these are just the normal amount of obsessed that young kids had with pokemon during the time when i was a kid so i didnt stand out as some #1 pokemon fan OAT, y'know? anyways, enough of me reminiscing on my past with pokemon - let's circle back to the first thing i talked about in this post. i now present to you what i think could be my "realistic" pokemon team. also remember that a pokemon team comprises of 6 pokemon Okayy LETS GO!
my first pokemon: oshawott
i was born in and have always lived in the area that the Unova region is based off of and therefore my starters would be the option of snivy, tepig, and oshawott. ive always loved oshawott as a pokemon fan and he's just super cute so i think little me would have picked him up. snivy would have scared me as a snake and although i would have loved tepig, i think the fire aspect would have scared little me off. also, i think a key moment of my life would have been when i started liking the group lunarsolar, seeing their fandom name is haedal (meaning sea otter in korean), and then looking at oshawott and being like 'look!! its fate! thats you!!!'
my second pokemon: pidgey
ok so if unova is based off NYC lets think of an animal that the city is known for. hmmmm.. pidgeons. yup. yes theres also pidove which is a lot more pidgeon looking than pidgey but the birds i mainly see now and at an age where i would have been trusted enough to really catch and keep my first pokemon look more like pidgey. its a very common pokemon and its small enough but also useful where once it evolves, i could have my pidgeotto deliver or pick up things for me that i dont want to drive to.
my third pokemon: lillipup or rockruff
this one is simple. i like dogs and i have a dog. maybe this pokemon would have been a gift from my parents and so a cute little friendly pet pokemon such as lillipup would be great. rockruff is also a possibility and i like their design better tbh. both of them and their evolutions are smart, loyal, protective, and kind: all the rthings a parent would want for a pokemon to protect their child.
my fourth pokemon: emolga
emolga is also a simple one simply because i know that ive always liked cute things and also flying squirrels are native to the state i live in (and emolga was introduced alongside unova so dingdingding another win for regional accuracy) so it would have not been surprusing for me to come across one on my own once i was a little more grown. i would have said aww cute squirrel i want u and emolga is also just the perfect friend to bring along. i loved emolga in the anime and so ive always had a little attachment to it and i think a me in which pokemon were real would also love an emolga. it also doesnt evolve which would make me haopy because i dont like change and i know my emolga would stay cute forever.
my fifth pokemon: mimikyu
mimikyu is a rarer pokemon i think but i feel like the years after covid hid when i was kind of just alone and isolated myself during high school i would have managed to stumble across a mimikyu and just felt so connected with it and wanted to love it and protect it forever. he hides himself behind a pikachu disguise because he believes everyone loves pikachu and the real him would kill people that see it and i think i do the same thing where i just dont want people to hate Me so i dont be me around others which just ends up isolating me.
my sixth pokemon: audino
i think i'd catch audino in my first year of college when i needed a friend and someone who would care. audino is a very caring and nurse-like pokemon and also connections with my enjoyment of music (audio) and the fact that i was majoring i speech hearing. and even as a education major, i think an audino would be very helpful with young children. yoiunger kids arent great at expressing their feelings as more developed humans and so having an audino who is able to feel and understand the conditions of others by being in contact with them would be very useful. i'd also just love going on walks with my audino and making them happy the way they'd help make me happy
okay thanks for tuning in to my pokemon team :) not 100% sure if this is true because maybe togepi, axew, carbink, or spoink would be there too instead of someone here... who knows. if u also have seen this trend u should comment what your 'realistic team' (or even just 1 pokemon u think would be in that team) is!!! i wanna see
