ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Shift pants a little-

Shift: <And before he can launch into another one...> -I take the hint and begin playing an intro on the keytar as Shift prepares another attack-

...

-MGMT prepares for another Brick Break-

MGMT: There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains/And a wheel in perpetual motion...

-MGMT hits Shift with Brick Break-

MGMT: And they follow the races and pay out the gains/With no show of an outward emotion..

How does MGMT know a song that isn't by MGMT?

Living iphokex. He has access to many songs .

But... I'm always thinking about something...

-while putting on the band-

I guess I'll just distract myself with thinking about the paradox of trying to intentionally not think about something and oh I just lost The Game.

-Tangent glows a bright yellow-green-

Heheh, this <tickles!>

-light fades-

<And I am a... four legs, long neck, wings... oh!>

Basket: <Tangent! I... well. I kinda thought of you as a brother at times, but especially now...>

<...really? Aww, you're a good sister too. I guess they said the forms were often appropriate...>

<Oh wow I am speaking Tropius I just noticed.>

-Smirks at Wolf-

Told you.

Stares at Tropius!Tangent and Basket

— ... What? Now that's lucky! Hey, Tangent, heh, — points at Tangent's neck — you've got bananas hanging from your neck... heh...

Heck... how idiotic... is that the best I can come up with in a moment like this?

"Hmm... Somehow I saw this coming, Tangent."

<Milo: "Well gee, I wonder why...?">

-Shift is knocked out, but I continue the rambling intro while I send out Oakley, who notes where my intro is going-

Oakley: <One, two, three... Our whole universe was in a hot dense state...>

-shrug- And sometimes it does fit personality perfectly.

Am I the only one of us to become something completely unexpected?

"Define 'unexpected'."

<Shaun: "Oh come now, being an Archen isn't that bad, Tracer...">

Yeah, just wait until you become a badass Archeops.

- <Was... it that obvious?>

Basket: <Yeah, we're close and all, but... well, I was just kinda hoping he's be a Tropius on a lark, I thought he might actually end up as, I dunno an Abra?>

- <I guess you never really realize how much you have in common with people you've been with for so long.>

seriously, my sister once previewed at my school and half the people she met asked if she was my sister

- <Bananas? Oooh... Suddenly I have a deeper appreciation for their flavor...>

-mouth waters-

Basket: <Heh, conserve them, they don't grow as fast as Nanab Berries you know.>

- <Aww.>

To Tagg

— ...I guess you guys had to earn Experience the hard way?

-MGMT keeps his sombre tune while preparing a Flamethrower-

MGMT: And they think it will make their lives easier/For God knows up till now it's been hard...

-MGMT fires the Flamethrower at Oakley-

MGMT: But the game never ends when your whole world depends/On the turn of a friendly card...

<Milo: "Yeah, then you'll look even more awkward when you're curling up crying in corners every time you get hur- OW!">

-Is jabbed by Kat-

<Kat: "Don't be rude!">

"... That's not how that behavior works, Milo..."

I assumed I would be a Vulpix, or a Ninetales. Instead, I'm a Glaceon, a species which I've never had any meaningful connection with in my life. You at least figured you would be an Archen. You just hoped you wouldn't be.

-Thinks for a moment-

Hmm. Maybe...

Do you think if someone's personality undergoes any changes like emotional trauma or a Heel Realization that their Pokemon form would change to fit?

Probably not. It seems to be ingrained in the deepest part of them. Why would I be a Glaceon, otherwise?

Maybe something...or someone... happens to be ingrained in your deepest part.

I don't even know how Slouch became an Ursaring, then.

What?

-Oakley continues the song (Which I will not bother writing out the lyrics for) and takes some damage before attacking back with Toxic-

Perhaps because in the deepest Slouch is awesome and huggable?
