On seemingly random Pokemon-type rambles

This definitely makes total sense in my head but you need not read it if you don't want confusion. It's very geeky and very what? and slightly themey.

So I am thinking, like, first? Scyther. Scizor is arguably more powerful but just not...eh. It wouldn't work. He's got lobster hands.

Also considered Kabutops because Kabutops has nice irony! ...And a very scary face.

And then, what? Tangela?  Nice but slimy. Dusclops? Creepy and probably also kind of...grimy too. If only Tangela weren't so slimy because that is all I keep thinking of. Oh yeah--! and then No, ew, seaweed.

Jigglypuff or similar is debatable. It's the most famous example, but of course there are others. Chatot? I rather like birds. Multi-functional birds especially. Pirate-themed birds get a bonus ten points.

So then I thought about hands. Hands are lacking here. Machamp has a lot of hands! And enough muscle to crush a brick into powder when he gently caresses it. ...So probably not. Jynx has hands! But is sort of silly-looking and also too themey. Just wouldn't do. Mr. Mime has hands! ...Actually that has potential. Anyway more things have hands than I thought, but then they would need to be not-too-ridiculous. After all Muk also kind of has hands.

No. Just no.

There is the Ditto thing but boy does that feel like cheating.

Okay so hmm. Hmm. Hmmmmmmmm Beedrill? Too scary. Ditto things like Spinarak. ...Actually Spinarak is kind of cute! But Ariados sends me running for the hills. But the options for that kind of thing are soooo few. ...Caterpie, I guess. Caterpie! ...Is horrendously weak and first form and does Butterfree do that kind of thing? I guess it could.

I am learning that no choice will be perfect.

Except Chimecho. Chimecho is a perfect choice.

Light! I always forget that. Ampharos is kind of obvious and also kind of large, comparatively. Lanturn is a fish. Light light light light...nope, nothing coming to mind.

Also there are too many things to consider and not enough party slots. Making a purple team? SO much easier. Color and type requirements, way smoother to navigate.

If that made any iota of sense to anyone, congrats! You get 20 points.
