It's all fun and games until someone throws a ball at you and enslaves you.

Wrong pokemon probs. Would you want to be like-- a Nidorino or some shit, or would you want a bipedal frame? (granted, Gen 1 was kinda lacking in GOOD bipedal frames without becoming something people didn't even believe existed; but I digress. Wouldn't have minded being like. A Kadabra, or a Hitmonlee or smth.)
Yeah you'd think a furry of all people would understand that being turned into an animal without opposable thumbs wouldn't be as fun
Reasons why Linoone is the optimal pokemon to transform into:
If you're a Nidorino but you want a bipedal frame just evolve. Skill issue.
Evolution doesn't get you opposable thumbs tho
The art is inconsistent, sometimes Nidoking and Nidoqueen are drawn with opposable thumbs, sometimes not.
Hitmonlee sounds great, until you get hungry. Dude has no mouth.
As a kid i figured it was some horrible "The Fly" sort of thing, and his mutated boneless apendages wouldnt let him hit the any key.
Unrelated, but I remember my primary school biology teacher using The Fly as an argument against teleportation. It only dawned on me years later that she was talking to a primary school kid about a Cronenbergian horror
I don't mean to kinkshame anyone but it's all fun and games until someone captures you, shrinks you down and stores you in their balls.
Strikes me that being a Pokemon in the Pokemon universe would be pretty horrifying, the potential to be caught and forced to fight for some snot-nosed 12 year old the rest of your life is too high.
This is why they made Mystery Dungeon, for more effective furry propaganda :)
