I know I can't have been the only one who ended up as a pokemon during the weekend. Which was a really unique experience, don't get me wrong. I certainly feel like I've gotten a better understanding of what it is like to be a pokemon, but.

Well.

Has anyone else been dealing with any... unusual urges since then?

[Armin just had a passing urge to beat up a small child for a french fry. Please tell him he is not the only one dealing with this.]

oh he loved it. adored it. had the time of his damn life

personally ive dealt with enough disgusting slimy gunk for a lifetime and didnt need to add "turned into sewer sludge" to my resume

Okay, that sort of reaction is pretty understandable. At least you were fortunate enough that you didn't have to spend the whole weekend as a Grimer.

Speaking of which, I hope you don't mind me asking, but do you own or frequently interact with either of the two pokemon you turned into?

i have a grimer that ray caught for me. because he's a dick and knows id hate it

[Technically, it's because Ray just really thought Slimer JR. was cute. Details.]

ray has a gastly, but not a gengar. and i'd never even heard of zorua before, but now i want one, if that counts

[schachmeister]

It might. I'm not sure.

I was just trying to see if there was any pattern to the pokemon people turned into during this weekend. I know it might be a meaningless chase. Certainly, most things aren't dictated by reason during those few days. But I still wanted to see if there was any sort of connection. At first, I thought people were turning into pokemon they have a close connection to. Or at least own. But I've spoken to several people now who turned into something completely different, so I guess we can discard that theory.
