I collect raichu plush and I like that they're soft, round and squishy, and have floppy paws you can play with, but it never occurs to me until I see threads like this that someone is taking this entire sentence as sexual. I like raichu in the same manner as it'd be nice to have a cat to pet and sit with if I lived somewhere that allowed them, except, y'know, pokemon are more capable of understanding your intentions and communicating when they want to be pet or not. Raichu being naturally round means I don't have to feel guilty about overfeeding a pet either because that's how they are, they're like big hamsters without the 'help I don't want to break its ribs' dilemma if you handle them too roughly.
Honestly, sentient, robust pets that can live as long as you do and receive free vetinary treatment up and down the country is a brilliant fantasy before we even get to the part where you go on adventures and mug rat carrying children instead of working an office job.
