Skunk. He can only do his move about seven times in a row, but it's Super Effective on basically everything but owls.

RACOON ROLL ATTACK!

Raccoon isn’t getting enough love.

There’s a raccoon who’s obsessed with my barbecue, so maybe I can tame him

Tough call between raccoon and possum but I gotta go with my boi possum.

I choose Stinkachu!

Possum all day.

So our options are:

• powerful but not afraid to lash out at you.
• strong secondary abilities but you will stink forever.
• terrible stats but will not hurt you.

Ya know, I don't think we should be doing animal pit fights with local wildlife, or at all maybe.

Raccoon no doubt. The theft stat is OP

Trash Panda, GO!

Skunk.

I will get banned from animal fighting immediately, however, I will also get the people there sprayed, making them incredibly easy to identify and apprehend.

Yeah, that's right. I'm a mole.

I think I’ve made my choice

Y'know what? I'd be down for a Pokemon game set in a region based on the US Deep South.

Raccoons are smart and have thumbs. I have to go with this guy 🦝 👍

Possums eat spiders. So there's that.

That's just most of North America.

They are the starters for the entire Eastern United States!

I'm going with Raccoon because it starts with Thief, which means free berries and left overs.

Coons have hands just sayin

Skunk so that way I'm not the one getting sprayed. Just have to be mindful of wind direction.

We've got those on NorCal too but they're not starters.

Can I grab all three and run away, Florida Man style?

A friend of mine actually has a skunk as a pet.

poison/fighting (skunk), dark (raccoon) and psychic (possum... playing possum is clearly a psychic move)

The rock paper scissors works (kinda, not really. dark's immunity to psychic would either make the rival fight a little harder or very easy. Skunk should be poison /fighting for gameplay reasons)

Two of these are Fire/Fighting types

Normal dark, normal ghost, and normal poison

Raccoon for sure. Sure possums are cute, but raccoons are smart and adorable and mischievous

Starters?? You fool, those are regional legendaries! Do not approach them! You don't have the skills!

Every time i see this meme the caption says a different location

In TN and I'd have to go with raccoons bc they are so good at getting in attics

no armadillo? pfft.

That coon well fed as fuck!

I'll take smiley.

Possum, I choose you! Possum: plays dead and poops itself.

Racc

What? You don't have rats? Or is that thing in the back supposed to be one?
