like there are “people who like cats” and then there is this motherfucker

the very first time we ever see him he is petting his cat, and you’re like, “oh okay, it’s like that one james bond villain, that’s cool w/e”

but this on a whole new level of crazy cat lady

call giovanni randomly at any time of the day or night?? cat’s with him

headquarters blown up by mewtwo? at least he saved the cat

on vacation…with the cat

mission to recapture mewtwo: you will need 1) small army of personal soldiers 2) lots of high-tech equipment 3) your cat

or if you’re trying to capture meloetta or something, bring your cat to that too

like at literally any given moment you can walk into Giovanni’s office and he’ll just be sitting there like “who’s a good kitty, yes you are”

the HGSS executives will never appear in the anime because all of their job duties are already taken by persian

kitty

fluffy kitty

May I also remind you that according to PoikeDex-entries, Persians are said to be difficult to raise. 

These two are epitome of inseparable.

But there’s a practical side to it, too.

He’s never without a Pokemon. Persian can jump into battle at any moment if it needs to.

It’s like keeping a pistol within easy reach. A pistol that purrs and loves you back.

I don’t blame him. Persian is also a pain in the ass in battle. In every generation.

In gen 1, critical hits are based on a Pokemon’s speed stat plugged into a formula and crit damage is based on the Pokemon’s level. High-crit attacks were eight times more likely to crit than a regular attack done by the same Pokemon. Since Persian’s highest stat is Speed, and its base Speed is well over 64, Persian’s Slash crits every time. Slash is also a STAB attack for Persian. That means a level 100 Persian would deal about three times as much damage with Slash than it would without crit or STAB boosts. Got Pokemon Stadium? Taking on the Prime Cup? Take a Persian with you.

The crit formula was reworked/nerfed in gen 2 and again in gen 3, but Persian still was a force to be reckoned with, plus it gained Limber when abilities became a thing, so you couldn’t paralyze the fucker and slow it down.

Getting Technician in gen 4 opened more doors for Persian. Since its Attack and Sp. Attack are about even, and it can learn a wide variety of low power special attacks, a Technician Persian can make multitasking attacks a nightmare. Swift is great for a Technician Persian, and you can add a good Hidden Power type for a nice surprise.

That’s why I love Persian. It’s a troll in cat form.
