#10: Pampster- This very common Pokémon loves people and oftentimes completely relies upon them. It and its evolution are estimated to have come into existence around the same time humans built the first houses. Pampster is the most frequently-received Pokémon by little kids for birthdays and the beginnings of Pokémon adventures due to its gentle nature and hardiness. Even feral Pampster remain close to human settlements in the hope of scrounging up some scraps or even being taken in. In some regions, it is a crime to release Pampster into the wild because of their reliance on humans and because large colonies of Pampster can push out native Pokémon. (Name from “pamper” and “hamster”)
