a poll, just because I felt like it
hmm,
What pokemon typing do you think fits me best, out of these?
Pick as many as you like, just remember: If there's a clear winner, or a close match between the top two, I'll make a similar poll to this one but with a selection of different pokemon of that type or split type.
I'll get to the second half of this either later tonight or some time tomorrow.
It late. Yeen tired and sore.
assign a pokemon to me (poll pt 2)
Because of a lack of specifically Dark/Steel types (literally only the pawniard line), I'm going to be including a selection of single-type Dark and Steel types too. Fun fact, there's a massive lack of mono-Steel. No particular order beyond "the order I found them," and no other cross-types included.
Write-ins from any cross-types welcome, and again, feel free to vote for multiples.
Not including the Scarlet/Violet 'dex in this because game spoilers. If you'd like to write in with one, please change the content warning to indicate game spoilers.

@LexYeen Spitballing some write-ins:
Obstagoon? Sandile/Krookodile? Scraggy/Scrafty? Pancham/Pangoro?

@TobySocks @LexYeen Oooh, I didn't vote write-in but i could see them as an obstagoon.

@LexYeen Yup, yup, that's all fair. Appreciate the thought put behind your reasoning and hope you find a good fit. 💜
re: assign a pokemon to me (poll pt 2)
@LexYeen @TobySocks i could definitely see a chill obstagoon though. looks loud, but is soft and quiet until loud is needed

@Felthry @TobySocks Now that the poll's over, I'll chip in with my thoughts: Obstagoon feels too *loud* to suit me, just... Overall, the entire vibe is too much for me. Great vibe, and it has its place! That place just isn't me.
Scraggy/Scrafty... Something about that design just squicks me and I do not know what it is.
Pancham/Pangoro, being fighting types first, don't quite vibe with my personality either. Too serious, too physicality-first. I'm the *least* likely to start shit, and if I'm caught in an honest knock-down drag-out fight? There's no way I'm gonna be fighting in anything approaching a clean manner if only one person's walking away.
As for Sandile/Krokorok/Krookodile? They're cute, and great at battling besides, but this one's simple and I'm gonna quote Anakin Skywalker to make it simpler: "I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating… and it gets everywhere." No subtext here, sand's just *hell* for my texture sensitivity. It's bad enough I doubt even a species change to one adapted to literally living in sand would change that aspect of my neurodivergence. 😅
