Are you a Gym Leader, Trainer, Pokemon Champion, Professor, or Team Rocket Grunt or Mom/Dad? (lemmy.world)

I feel like I would be a Prof in the Pokémon universe. Just interested in studying, experiments, generally dilletante shit and fieldwork.

No desire for fame or publishing if I can get around it or get someone else to take credit for it as long as I get a little scratch

Edit: try and keep things nice at 69%, lol

I would be a Pokemon trainer of the Cool Beauty trainer class wielding a togepi, unown, shedinja, phione, keldeo, and porygon-z and wait by a landslide area that causes the trainer to fall once they beat me so they'd have to go up the slope a second time to get to their destination.

Delightfully specific and on brand ;) We gonna get along just fine 🦄

That slope bit is also endearingly petty. If you don't mind me saying, that you thought of that and articulably threw that out there is beyond a green flag for me lol

Like, I would literally caveat with something like that IRL to reinforce my negotiating position and also on a precedential level to deter someone from f-ing with me not only at the time but also secretly hope it spreads so my reputation for clever pettiness does all the work for me going forward ;)

It really is a beautiful thing and we are beautiful people for intuiting it, while still hopefully retaining our goodness and a sense of grace
