If you could have a team of 6 Pokemon in the real world, what would it be? You need not take into consideration explanations, such as why an alive sarcophagus is with you, but practicality should be taken into account. (Groudon would be too large to actually do anything with in most situations, and many water Pokemon would require some type of body of water to come out of the balls.) Also, if one of these were to be a Pokemon always out with you, your “Pikachu” in a sense, which would it be?

Hmm… this sounds like fun.  Who would be useful…?

I often have trouble with computers and the like; Porygon’s ability to transform into software and talk to electronics would make all that a breeze.

Baltoy or Claydol would be a great Pokémon to have on an archaeological site – Earth Power to move stubborn, compacted dirt, telekinetic skills to move delicate artefacts without handling them directly… it’d even be able to help with identifying some items!

For getting about, nothing beats teleportation!  I want an Abra!  He’d probably be the ‘always out’ Pokémon, just because he’s small and easy to carry.

For long-haul stuff that Abra can’t handle, some kind of Flying Pokémon would be good too.  I’m going to go with Tropius for style, and for free delicious fruit!

If I ever get into a fight, there’s no Pokémon I’d rather have at my side than Starmie.  Figuring out how to do Thunderbolt and Ice Beam without the benefit of TMs might take some doing, but it’d be worth it.

Finally, I’m allowed one for sentimentality’s sake, aren’t I?  Vileplume.  She’s my favourite Pokémon and I couldn’t possibly not pick her!
