>>47873362>First come first serveDoes that mean we can't pick a mon someone else already picked? If so, I'll choose Oshawott. I always loved the little guy, and his scallop is a lightsaber, which is cool. Only problem is the lack of hands, but evolving into Dewott would fix that.
If we can pick any starter: I hate to say it, but I think the most practical option for a new body really is Riolu, despite the furry stereotype. The shape and proportions are similar to a human, so it would be easy to get used to, and it has hands with opposable thumbs (I think) and cool bullshit Aura powers.
Also, I refuse to pick a partner from 4chan. I'd get better results recruiting a native Pokemon from the PMD world instead.
