So if you're not a furry, you're just a very boring person. Come on, dogs and cats? And with all the expected wildcards like Metagross and Aegislash.
>>37921620More quirky than cool. I'd say Ninjask and Raikou are cool - they're fitting embodiments of that teenage ideal of freedom, but a lot of your faves are kinda restricted and imprisoned in nature: Bellsprout and Cradily are nailed to the ground, Claydol is constructed to serve in religious acts, Cloyster is immobilized inside its shell, Cofagrigus is literally dead. If anything, you're somebody who is trying to escape his comfort zone and enter cooldom.
