The world would be such a scary place if Pokemon were real, unless all the Pokemon were nice and nobody misused them...
I have a strong feeling I wouldn't be using my Pokemon for battles is they were real. They would simply be pets. Since I have 6 cats atm, I guess I would have a cat Pokemon. Meowth? Not only would I have a cute kitty, but I'd also be RICH! Of course, if Pokemon could make money... would money retain its value? My guess is that Pay Day generated money would be practically worthless. :/
If I were to directly relate each of my cats to a specific Pokemon... Persian (George), Absol or Skitty (Lil' Kat), Arcanine (Pan), Furret (Cali), Growlithe (Tiny), and Stunky (Chupi)... though these are just based on appearances. I know not all of these are cats...
I would say Mew, but I'm not really comfortable with the Psychic-type. I don't want ANYONE inside my head.
