My secondary was a Houndoom, a Fire-Dark dog, so not particularly, but my first was Isis. [And he pauses to give his Natu a rub behind one eye, making her squint happily.] A Psychic type, which means she's able to understand me without speech, small enough to stay out of her ball and on my person without causing a substantial fuss, and able to project my thoughts into other people's minds. While she's not as narratively fitting to me as other Pokemon I've since sought out, she was rather unusually appropriate in letting me work around a poorly compensated disability here.
