Would you rather attend Hogwarts or become a Pokemon trainer?

Yes but Pokemon want to be slaves to humans and to be potentially torn limb from limb for our amusement.

Just like house elves enjoy being slaves to wizards and being at their beck and call day and night without any holidays or benefits.

And now that we have determined either choice leaves you to the inevitable conclusion of being a horrible person, I chose Pokemon. Cause Scyther is STILL smurfing boss.

I hate the way Scyther says his name in the Pokemon anime. It has ruined FFVIII for meIn before NeoCracker says that FFVIII is already ruined because whenever Seifer's name appears I have to say in a really high-pitched voice... SEEEIIIIIIFFEEEEEEEEERRR!!!!!!!!!

But I am a devout member of S.P.E.W. and I would never treat a House Elf in such a way. :colbert:

I can honestly say that I've never eaten a pokemon or a house elf.

Sign me up.

Pokemon is nothing but cock fighting for children. At least wizards get to wield power themselves rather than committing heinous acts of animal abuse to get their pokemon to fight for them.

I'd rather be a mentat myself though. To hell with magic and training pets to murder. Actually that last one sounds kind of cool when I put it that way.

Pokemon. Witches and wizards are pretty much trapped in their own little reality, and don't get out much. Like to travel too much, and see new things.

I'll be a Pokémon trainer and catch a Mismagius who is a Witch Ghost.

Presumably there would be cheaper options for robes and cloaks as the only requirement is that they need to be black (theyre not a uniform), same with the hat. I assume the price of robes, hats and cloaks are low anyway since they can be made with magic. The only thing on that list remotely realistic is the gloves which need to be made from dragonhide.

Being a trainer is hardly free, you have to buy potions and pokeballs and stuff and you dont neccesarily have to pay to become a wizard. If you strictly follow the rules of the poll you can go to your first year, drop out, sell everything except your wand and homeschool yourself.

Also if I wanted to I could just take care of magical creatures and learn to tame amazing flying firebreathing unicorning beasts and whatnot. Presumably I could also stick them into small balls with extention charms on the interior then use reducio on the balls to fit them onto my belt

You... uh, you thought about this a lot?

Can I take Hogwarts minus all the racism, classism and slavery? Please?

I'd probably try my luck as a Pokemon trainer. XD
