I can just see Parry Gripp’s latest outing on YouTube now… “Do You Like Squirtles?”… coupled with a video of various Pokémon flashing up every second or so, and the odd Dramatic Chipmunk thrown in for good measure (admit it… how many of you, that have seen the video, started singing “Dramatic Chimpunk… HEY!!” when you read that??).

I know nothing about Pokémon and only found out that Pikachu was a mouse from reading this article… I had no idea what he was, I assumed he was just a completely fictional creature rather than an electric mouse. There ya go. Have to say though, the idea of Pokémon as pets is quite exciting… I’d go with the redhead woman in the first pic.

I had a great time working on the images for this one… two cute girls, a Pix3lated manipulation and a surprise Pikachomp for anyone that clicked through on the cosplayers. There’s nothing like a little late night fiddling with your mouse to put a smile on your face, Pikachu not included.

I’d go with Bulbasaur. Because he’s green. That was my justification in the original Pokemon games, and he’s such an awesome little guy that I’ve finagled his presence on my team in every Pokemon game I’ve played since. There’s always a Bulbasaur, and always a Geodude on my team. The rest kind of gets made up as I go along in order to cover most of the elemental bases.

Funny article as always, Pix.

Aha…nope. I don’t want TeamRocket and their farting gas ball Pokemon thing cluttering up my BBQ and James dressing in my underwear which is what would happen if I had a Pikachu. For some reason, despite all the rare Pokemon, they seem to think that a common Pikachu is special. Pffft.

Also, the wind velocity riding a Charizard to my destination would be such that my ears would get cold. When my ears get cold, I get earache. Neurghh ;p

There are two flaws with your charizard logic Lorna;
1 – Pikachu can roast nuts with his electricity, meaning you could techinically use him as a BBQ too or at very least, roast some marshmallows.
2 – why would you be at a train station when you could have your charizard fly you straight from your destination? :p

I’m sensing a lot of psyduck love on this site thought.

Interesting choices, but I’d have gone with PsyDuck. Being as ‘special’ as he is, you’d get access to the handicap car park spaces outside Tesco and also be able to fry the brains of disagreeable relatives. Also, you have to have Charizard…I mean FFS. You’ll never need another BBQ again and no one will mess with you if he’s chaperoning you back from the train station at night.

How disappointed was I when clicking on that sexy pikachu bird for a better look only to be treated to a rather scary demon pikachu harrassing a poor child. Methinks this is karma kicking my ass for being a geeky perv. Better luck next time.

I read the title as I Like Squirrels initially

Then continued to chuckle all the way through

Haha thanks Adam, I never thought of a psyduck as a good pub quiz contestant but now you mention it, you’re right. I actually have a psyduck in my pokewalker right now (which I have proudly clipped to my belt).

Mega Lulz Iain.

Cracking take on Pokemon here. I was crazily addicted to these games playing them on the way to and from work, on my breaks and whilst I was supposed to be running the store (I used to steal other Pokemon’s off traded in copies and would always make sure I nabbed the Exp. Shares and the Masterballs when I could).

I always loved Psyduck, just because he’s a full on Spastic. I think he’d make a great addition at a pub quiz because it’s always the team less likely to win that does

Love the Line Breaks…and now Mudkips. Ones just like that….

No pokemon ever gets better than Squirtle.
Chimchar is a distant second.
