I feel like I would be a Prof in the Pokémon universe. Just interested in studying, experiments, generally dilletante shit and fieldwork.

No desire for fame or publishing if I can get around it or get someone else to take credit for it as long as I get a little scratch

Edit: try and keep things nice at 69%, lol

Probably none of those. I'd probably be the big bad. For whatever reason when I was a kid and picked up blue I thought "friends? no I taught these monsters to be strong, they ain't no friends." When the friend secret mechanics came in I realized I hadn't done anything but instilled Stockholm syndrome in them.

I allter them with drugs, use machines on them to force them to learn things. If they end up useless they stay in a box forever.

Pokemon are how I get rich, pokemon are how I get power, pokemon are how I enact control.

A powerful pokemon is a good pokemon.
