Please help me beef this thing up! It is my self indulgent fantasy. So far is it full of irl family and friends, plus anons from a previous thread.
If the world and your life was exactly the same as it is now, except plus pokemon, tell me:

What pokemon would your parents have gotten you as a starter? What could they afford and did they care about what you actually wanted?

What pokemon would you have caught yourself as a kid? Did you get to spend a lot of time outdoors or would you have to save and buy a pokemon?

What pokemon would you have gained later in life through your career or bought outright with your adult money?
