>>24786451Fuck this hard mode. It got me thinking about it for two hours.Empoleon/Torterra.
Empoleon is the obvious one, since the Emperor has to get his head on a different plane than what most people tend to think. INTP-5 tends to have that kind of mindset, being on a different realm, with their focus an opinions fluctuating thanks to the knowledge that keeps coming.
It's the kind of mind that goes well with someone of that lineage. And that represents pretty well the Piplup line.
On the other hand we have Torterra. Is the kind of mon that seems pretty easy going, isn't it? But to me at the same time looks like the type of pokemon that doesn't care that much about the other people around. Now, it may seem contradictory with what I stated earlier, and it kinda is, but I'm mostly going here for the "outside the box" mindset. It seems to be the kind to be able to be unique. To be their own while still learning more and more. Just like nature, growing and growing, sometimes looking like not having a limit.
So, there it is. Turtwig line is mostly because they appear to have that ability of being an outsider.
Both could work out, but I think the scale is weighted towards Empoleon.
