There's no animals in Pokemon but you always see them eating meat in the cartoon. I would go on a quest to eat all the Pokemon. At least the original 151.

Gotta eat 'em all.

I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!

I'd be one of those forgettable NPCs who has one or two Pokemon who help me with chores and then we hang out in our small house. Squirtle would be my helpful, friendly bro. But I'd also like one of the dog ones to pet and snuggle with. Maybe Growlithe. Water and fire moves would be super handy in everyday life. They'd be occasional Flintstone appliances, but mostly something between pets and children. I would love them so much.

And then you assholes would walk into my house uninvited and be annoyed that I wasted your time by not giving you anything. Like bitch, you're lucky you didn't catch a Flamethrower from my boy Growlithe over here for breaking and entering. Don't look in my trash can, you nosey fuck. Damn Pokemon gym brings riffraff into this town. The shit I put up with for free healthcare...

I am a filthy casual player, so I suppose I'd be a clueless tourist collecting endangered Pokemon who should be left alone, and stumbling into dangerous situations.

Still mad that they made the 3 team leaders so dorky looking in the last update of their clothing but Team Rocket so suave and cool in their outfits.

Probably some other NPC that does some highly specific thing. Like the name rater, or whatever.

Not important in the grand scheme of things, but people all over the world come for that one weird task I can do, and that's enough for me.

I'm the mom/dad.
I'm so proud of my kid!
(I have no clue what they're doing, I just know at age 10, every child has to leave home).

Gym Leader towards the middle of the game with a really annoying gimmick

I wanna be Youngster Ben, so I can talk about how comfy shorts are.

I'm a pokemon breeder. You never get to fight me because I'm always telling you whether there's an egg or not, but if you got to see my perfect IV, perfect EV, perfect nature team, every single one is shiny.

And a side effect of all that needless effort is that I'm frickin loaded.

My appearance is the Alolan girls' (braids, cowboy hat, overalls).

Need a better, less kinky name for me though.

I'm one of those girls that are obsessed with ghost types.

I don't particularly care for ghost pokemon, but it's important to have goals

If I ended up in the Pokemon universe, I'd be fighting for Pokemon rights. Clearly, these creatures are fully sentient. They fluently understand human language, and even one (Meowth) can speak. We have no right to capture and force them to fight. Also, I would fight to help teach them human languages or unlock the secrets to their "language", so we may better communicate.

I would be a Snorlax.

...does that count as a valid answer?

I'd be some bloke telling everyone the same boring bullshit about some glass bottle or other, hanging about in a pokemon center dong absolutely fucking nothing. Seems to be a viable career option in the Pokemon universe given how many ppl pursue this line of work.

When I was a younger I made up a dark type gym leader OC who's thing is he acts like an edgelord when he's on the clock but is otherwise pretty chill when he punches out. I always thought it was a pretty funny concept that I'd love to see in a game. So that's me.

I've always thought of myself as a gym leader. I've been doing martial arts since I was 10, I love Fighting types and Blaziken has been my absolute favorite Starter since forever.

I also really like the idea that gym leaders have a bunch of Pokemon ready to take challengers and different levels. Taking on some kid just starting out with Riolu while my Machamp and Bewear wrestle in the background sounds awesome.

Ghost gym leader, which would be kind of ironic given how easily scared I am, but ghost types are so cool. And everyone loves horror/reaction content, so I could make a whole game and stream out of a haunted house.

I guess that means I'd have to have some responsibility over the town my gym is in, but I guess I can live with that.

I would be a Pokemon trainer of the Cool Beauty trainer class wielding a togepi, unown, shedinja, phione, keldeo, and porygon-z and wait by a landslide area that causes the trainer to fall once they beat me so they'd have to go up the slope a second time to get to their destination.

You missed an option:

Elite 4.

I'd be in the elite 4 as a total wildcard using metronome & OHKO's as my only attacks with all of my Pokemon.

I'm a speed runner's nightmare

Rock/Ground/Steel gym leader. There are a lot of chonky lizard bois and I am going to love them all, even as a 12 yr old destroys my shit with a monotype starter.

No, this is Patrick!

I don't feel like I'm to the level of Pokémon professor, but I do feel like I would be something along the lines of a Pokémon teacher or maybe the gym guy.

Pokémon trainer aspiring to be a gym leader but I have too balanced of a team to pick one gym.

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.

I have no idea what any of those tings are. So… I’m none of them.

Just s trainer, probably good enough to make money off it (considering i only play the good games; fan games with real difficulty) but I'm not down with all that responsibility.
