If Pokemon Were Real

So with Nintendo announcing their next generation of Pokemon games last week, it got me thinking- what if Pokemon were real? Would I be a trainer, breeder, gym leader, etc.? What Pokemon would I catch & keep? Well, here's a list of Pokemon I would want to have if they were actually real (along with the trailer for Pokemon X & Y). This is definitely a culled down list- of the current total of Pokemon (which is 646) I narrowed it down to the 126 that I actually like, and then narrowed it down further to Pokemon I would consider as "my favorites". So this is actually only a list of 23 Pokemon that I would really want to have. I'd still try to catch the other 103, of course, but these would be my most desirable ones. They are in no particular order.

• Charizard
• Arcanine
• Rapidash
• Kingler
• Scyther
• Lapras
• Vaporeon
• Jolteon
• Zapdos
• Noctowl
• Houndoom
• Grovyle
• Aggron
• Sharpedo
• Numel
• Kyogre
• Floatzel
• Leafeon
• Serperior
• Zebstrika
• Excadrill
• Krookodile
• Braviary

What Pokemon would you have on your team? What type of job would you want to have? I think I would be a trainer, then maybe a gym leader when I got older. Most of my favorites are Fire or Ground type anyway.
