To my delight, I was recently asked which Pokémon the Cornley crew would have if they lived in the Pokémon universe!
Sandra has a Baile-style Oricorio: a passionate performer with a short temper. Its red plumage also reminds me of Sandra's Haversham Manor outfit. She has to leave it at home for drama society business; Chris has imposed a strict ban on Fire types.
Trevor has a bunch of Magnemite that he sends floating around the set to perform tasks. They keep pulling each other off-course and getting stuck together.
Max has a Mr Mime that all the others find unbearably creepy. He simply does not understand this. It's basically a clown, right? Clowns are funny! Why are you guys being so weird about it?
Robert has something unfeasibly enormous that he insists on trying to bring into rehearsals and performances. An Onix, perhaps.
Chris does not have a Pokémon. He thinks that owning a Pokémon is a frivolous waste of time and resources. Max is appalled when he first learns this. Robert just nods and says, 'Yes, you seem like that sort,' and Chris worries for some time afterwards about exactly what 'sort' he seems like.
Annie has an assortment of Pokémon that she thinks are really cute, but her idea of 'cute' doesn't always line up with the mainstream. Things like Palpitoad. Actually, the fact that frogs are the only thing she can paint sort of makes me want to give her a bunch of frog/toad-themed Pokémon: Palpitoad, Croagunk, Politoed, Froakie.
Vanessa has a Delcatty, which she chose because she wanted a Pokémon that would keep itself clean. She is stressed out to discover that, although Delcatty does diligently groom itself, it also eats and sleeps whenever it pleases; she'd prefer something with a more predictable daily routine.
Jonathan has a Cofagrigus and frequently gets trapped inside it.
Dennis has Arceus. The others discover this when they stumble across Dennis taking God for a walk one day. Dennis is perplexed by their reactions; he just happened to catch it and has no idea it created the universe.
