Famed Pokémon connoisseur Lachlan Mitchell has crafted a quiz to figure out exactly who you really are.
Once again, I’m back with more Pokémon content! Because I have spent way too much fucking money on the games! But rather than wax at length about the franchise, we’re gonna do a quiz together. The premise is simple: we all have our favourite Pokémon, based on their beauty or cutesiness or ironic appeal. But what of the traditionally ugly or loathed ones? I’m not going to ask you to love them, I’m asking you to consider which one you are deep down inside.
