so do we think mr bonzo passes the harkness test?
It's implied Mr Bonzo is at least over the age of 18 with the fact he is one of the OIARs "externals", and I believe you have to be at least 18 for that. Along with that, Mr Bonzo is based on Mr Blobby, and Mr Blobby (regretfully) has a wife and kids. We could probably infer Mr Bonzo has something similar (maybe a husband and kids?) So we can check that off.
However the other two are where I start getting...confused, for lack of a better term. For starters, its hard to say if Mr Bonzo is capable of communication. We know that all he says is "bonzo", like hes a pokemon or something. So that makes communicatoon difficult, but it doesn't mean its impossible.
The test itself makes note of this, saying that body language should only be attempted if all other forms of communication do not work. So, how could we MAKE saying Bonzo work? Bonzo twice if yes, bonzo twice if no? How do we know if thats gonna work?
And that leads us into my final point of confusion; IS MR. BONZO INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO CONSENT? We have no proof for either side of this debate. None, nada, ZILCH. We simply don't know enough about Mr Bonzo to say yes or no to that.
I want to bring this to peoples minds because. Well. Why NOT. It's funny? It's kinda important for the freaks in the fandom to keep it in mind, maybe? I dunno. I was taljing about the harkness test to my friend in relation to the ghouls from fallout and this just passed into my mind. I wanted to write a mini post about it because why the FUCK not.

Since people are slowly forgetting about the Harkness test (especially the new generation on TikTok) here is a reminder on what it is and why it’s important
This was made all the way back in 2013 so this has been around longer than most kids
Basically if the creature has human intelligence, can communicate properly, and is mature for its species age you can consent to any adult practices with it

Personally I have played this game by assuming that in this case every Pokemon passes the Harkness test.
I feel like all Pokémon are sentient enough from what we’ve seen in the games and anime. In the anime they’re able to understand pretty much all human speech and the games literally say that people and Pokémon used to be considered the same

Captain Jack Harkness from the Harkness test
I couldn’t find a picture of Jack himself (that was good) so y’all get the Harkness test itself.
Also this is a good reminder of how I judge characters fit for this blog.

Thanks for the fun Mewtwo facts first anon! It sure does have psychic powers and a tail!!
Personally I think all Pokémon are capable of passing the Harkness test 👀 if Meowth can learn to talk then anything is possible

Monster Manual Harkness Test No. 2 – The Aboleth
Verdict:
YES
Tentacle-lovers, rejoice!! You can romance this Lovecraftian horror!!
The MM stat block gives us intelligence and wisdom of 18 and 15, surpassing average human intelligence and passing the intelligence test for Aboleth-kind.
The MM stat block informs us that Aboleths not only speak Deep-Speech (a veritable romance language on-par with French) and Telepathy. Ergo, it passes the communication test
Finally the stat block does not indicate that the Aboleth is a child. In fact, fluff states that these R'lheyan Lovers may be older than the gods themselves!! Ergo, they pass the maturity test
Can you romance an Aboleth?
YES

But can he pass the Harkness Test?
