I have been wanting to get art of our pokésonas for years! Thanks, Casey! =D

Okay, context! Thanks to a bit of magic, we have gone from being [14-year-old raccoon-dragons] to Level 14 nidoran-dragons. It is our first time becoming pokémon, and I am rather fascinated by how I have less fingers on each hand. Dray is a little less optimistic, no longer having a tail to hide his pantsless rear end. =P

Anyway, nidorans are not normally a pokémon people pay attention to (unless you're [Aqua Bunny]). They're one of the monsters you find early on in Generation 1, and by the end of the game, they're likely to be swapped out for newer monsters. But when you've actually been a nidoran, you grow a certain appreciation for them.

That is what happened to me in 2011. I found a nidoran avatar in Second Life, and it was so adorable, I had to have it! Of course, my brother had to be one, too. We couldn't be twins if we weren't the same creature.

I would've missed my wings too much, so I decided that they should be transformed as well, instead of disappearing like our tails. (Nidorans don't have tails. Only nidorinas, nidoqueens, and nidokings do.)

Of course, our main fursonas will always be dracoons. But sometimes it gets a little boring staying the same thing all the time, so our pokésonas will be our go-to second forms. =)

Personally, I prefer growlithe. But I will admit that it's pretty cool that we get to be poisonous monsters, even if I don't have my tail, anymore (and if we evolve, I won't have one as a nidorino even though Erika's tail will grow as a nidorina). We also have spines on our backs, though you can't see them here 'cause they're between our wings.

As a side-note, I've decided to start a series of [Pokémon Yellow streams] at Twitch. And rather than be the trainer, I decided that I should be one of the trainer's pokémon! ^_^ Erika is on my team as well, though she isn't able to join the streams. Sad face.
