I know it's silly to discuss about this stuff, but sometimes, I wonder how things could've been different, had I picked a different Pokémon as my Pokésona instead. But, no. Lopunny just had to be my only choice. Even after being presented with all Pokémon species at once -- all 1025 of them, at the time of writing this -- as a choice for potential Pokésona, I always, always picked Lopunny, every single time. If a major Earth event happens, and all humans in this world would end-up TFing into a Pokémon for the rest of their lives, but each of us are allowed to pick which Pokémon to turn into, I'll definitely 100% pick Lopunny as the body I'll be stuck with. It's like... I never chose to be a Lopunny. Lopunny chose me instead.
I admit, I was worried about my choice, because Lopunny is the most sexualized Pokémon ever in the fandom, besides (or even surpassing) Gardevoir. Not even Salazzle came close. The thing is that, unlike other people, I do not see Lopunnies as sex objects at all. (Yes, those ears are a major part of my attraction towards Lopunnies, but that's just it.) My Pokésona design might not even be something that people are used to, either: the design was based on the more masculine interpretation of the official in-game design, with none of the feminine qualities. So I'm worried if that would be a turn-off for many people.
In-universe, I'd probably just contemplating on trying to imagine how different my life would've been, had I never evolved and remained as a Buneary forever. I tried remembering what life was like back then, never having to carry these giant ears just to even move around at all. Then, inevitably, I got evolved into a Lopunny, and now I found myself having to constantly worry about keeping my ears from smashing expensive stuff and hitting other Pokémon by accident. But hey... On the plus side, these ears make good giant pillows to comfortably rest my arms on.
Well, perhaps I'm just rambling needlessly. Bottom line, I had not drawn my Pokésona for a while... It feels good to be able to draw him again. Plus, I really do love Lopunnies... I'm not even denying that anymore. I'm pretty sure that other people have their own reasons for why they picked their Pokémon species of choice for their respective Pokésonas.
