What pokemon would you suggest for a system with wildly different needs? Ordona hates touch (gets too hot), Yrsa can't have their neck touched, James and Omen like something cuddly, and Nero wants something he could spar with (but that's not a requirement). We're relatively active but don't go for hikes, and we're in a climate that's got a cold winter and a boiling summer.
Ooh, you know what Pokémon would be a great addition to your home? An Alolan Ninetales!
Despite being part Ice-type, Alolan Ninetales actually do surprisingly well in warm climates, so summers shouldn’t be too big of a problem (though giving your frosty friend a Never Melt Ice certainly wouldn’t hurt) They also tend to be quite adaptable personality-wise as well; they can be very affectionate and cuddly when needed, and more laidback and reserved when not. Sparring may not really be on the cards as this species is typically on the calmer side, but I am sure there are individuals who would be down for a friendly tussle.
Much like their Kantonian cousins, Alolan Ninetales groom themselves fairly frequently, which helps with their grooming requirements. A good brushing two or three times a week should be enough to keep your Ninetales’ fur in peak condition, just be aware that their tail fur, as well as the fur of their mane and head crest, is a bit more susceptible to matting due to the curliness.
Alolan Ninetales are known, at least in Alola, for their gentle temperaments, and are generally safe Pokémon for owners of all experience levels! Overprotectiveness and resource guarding can be issues though, so it’s a good idea to provide your Ninetales with proper training and socialization (ideally as a Vulpix) in order to help prevent those problems from popping up.

Hi! Can I get a pokemon matchup?
I'm a college student, so I'm pretty busy, especially since I live a bit far from campus. My city has quite the wild temperature shifts, with a very cold and dry winter and a very hot and raining summer, so I should get a pokemon that can handle these drastic changes in temperature and humidity. I really dislike swimming so water types are off the table and I intern in a laboratory setting so my pokemon must not be messy or dirty. I struggle with anxiety and depression as well as sensory overload related to autism, so a pokemon that can soothe me, be it from powers or just being cuddly is optimal.
I enjoy mammalian and bird-like pokemon's company the most, but I'm quite open to any other kinds!
Hmm, you know what? I think a Sylveon could be just the pal you’re looking for!
While Sylveon certainly aren’t exempt from the typical Fairy-type mischievousness, they really are sweet, loving Pokémon at their cores. They tend to have rather calming demeanours as well, which make them great Pokémon for people who live with things like anxiety or depression (and the fact that they are capable of using Heal Bell, which has been proven to work on humans just as well as it works on Pokémon, doesn’t hurt either)
Sylveon aren’t all that different from the other Eeveelutions when it comes to grooming: a weekly or twice-weekly brushing along with the occasional nail trimming should be enough to keep them nice and clean. Sylveon also tend to really enjoy being groomed, so brushing sessions are a great way to bond with your new pal!
Sylveon are pretty safe Pokémon for trainers of any experience level, though the ribbons can pose a tripping hazard, so be careful of that. They can also have a bit of a prey drive, so be sure that your Sylveon is well-supervised and that you’re able to keep it under control whenever it’s around small Pokémon.

Pokemon AU (panels read right to left, start from the left page)
A list of everyone's teams are (warning: long post):
Shinichi/Conan:
Stoutland: He received it as a Lillipup from his parents and it has been his partner since. It's also a very responsible pokemon and makes sure Shinichi doesn't get into (too much) trouble.
Absol: He caught it in New York during the golden apple case. It's a very gentle pokemon but freaked Ran out when it first appeared.
Scorbunny: It's Conan's pokemon. It randomly started following him around during one of his cases, and he decided to catch it to try and separate Conan from Shinichi since Shinichi 'left' his pokemon with Conan but eventually got attached to it. It's very playful and has very strong kicks.
Ran:
Bewear: It hung around Teitan elementary when it was a Stufful, and Ran begged Shinichi to help her catch it since he was the only one with a pokemon at the time. Her parents were surprised when she brought it home, but it quickly became part of the family. It has a tendency to hug Shinichi a lot, who swears that it wants him dead.
Lopunny: Yukiko gave it to her as a gift before Shinichi's parents left. It's very strong and often accompanies Ran during karate training.
Minccino: It's not technically Ran's as she hasn't caught it, but it lives near the agency and always attempts to clean up Kogoro's messes. Ran's thinking about catching it but is worried that Minccino might not want to be caught since it was initially shy.
Sonoko:
Leavanny: Shinichi and Ran helped her catch it because she wanted a pokemon, and her mother wouldn't let her have one. She didn't like it at first but grew to love it after it saved her from an ursaring. Her mother wouldn't let her keep it at first, but she was stubborn, and eventually, her father convinced her mother to let it stay.
Furfrou: Her father received it during a business trip abroad, but didn't have the time to take care of it so he planned to give it away, but Sonoko begged him to let her keep it. It enjoys going shopping with her.
Meowth: It was Makoto's but it immediately got attached to her and since he goes on a lot of tournaments she offered to take care of it for him. It's protective of her (as all Makoto's pokemon are) which causes her to get a bit annoyed, but it's also very spoiled.
The Detective Boys:
Conan caught them because he believed the detective boys needed pokemon since they may get into some dangerous situations.
Ayumi has an oddish, Mitsuhiko has an elekid, and Genta has a magby. They happened to find the three while playing in a park and Conan decided they'd be a good catch since the three pokemon were already friends.
Eventually, the detective boys each capture a pokemon themselves as well. Ayumi -> Igglybuff Mitsuhiko -> Morelull Genta -> Cubone
Haibara
As Shiho, she didn't have any pokemon, as the BO only saw pokemon as tools/weapons and no members owned one. It took her a while before she opened up to the idea of having one.
Solosis: After deciding to have a pokemon, the detective boys make it their mission to find the perfect one. This lead to them being dragged into a case (as usual) which involved a man who worked a pharmaceutical company and solosis was his pokemon. They solved the man's death, with some assistance from solosis, who was left without trainer at the end of the case, so Haibara decided to take solosis. Since it helped its previous trainer with his job, it made an ideal partner for Haibara.
Gengar: Haibara caught it on her own. It would follow her around sometimes before she caught it (or solosis) and she'd make some analogy to it being a dark shadow of her past, so she fought it with solosis to stop it from following her, but ended up catching it. It ended up being Elena's old pokemon that was eventually released after her death. Although it seems like a scary pokemon, it is very kind and sweet and was following her around to protect her.
Agasa:
Magnemite: One of Agasa's first partners. It's very ditzy and clumsy. It would sometimes make its way to Shinichi's house and shock him in his sleep. It still does that to Conan whenever he comes over.
Klang: A pokemon Agasa caught when he traveled to Europe for a convention. It's a silent pokemon and loves to help Agasa around with his inventions. Shinichi says it's more reliable than Magnemite.
Togedemaru: Agasa recieved it from a trade with Fusae before she moved away. It is very responsible and overall Haibara's favorite due to the fact it puts a lot of effort into ensuring that Agasa maintains a healthy diet. Together, they are his nightmare. Shinichi, Ran, and Sonoko used to play a lot with it, as the detective boys do now.
Heiji:
Arcanine: On one of his 'adventures' as a child, Heiji found a wild Growlithe that was hurt. He snuck out a lot of food and bandages from home to try to help it until his parents found out and took it to a center. He was allowed to keep it as long as he didn't go out alone at night anymore (to which he agreed because you're no alone if you have a pokemon, right? Also, what his dad doesn't know won't hurt him.) As an arcanine, it's very loyal and strong, in which Kazuha says, "like trainer, like pokemon." It's also very playful and can pin Heiji down very easily when roughhousing.
He also has a Braviary and a Sirfech'd (that he received from his father)
Kazuha:
Xatu: When she was a kid, she woke up one morning to a Natu at her window and swore to Heiji that it was a sign. She begged him to help her catch it and they spent the whole week trying to find it again before eventually giving up. When she woke up the next morning, she found it again at her window, and with no hesitation, she threw a pokeball at it and immediately caught it. She calls it her lucky partner. Heiji gets unnerved by its staring.
Kogoro:
Slaking: He caught it as a vigoroth when he was still on the judo team. It's generally a lazy pokemon, but when the situation arises, it's an excellent fighter. Shinichi privately calls it the "second embodiment of laziness" the first being Kogoro himself.
Watchog: It was Eri's. She left it with him to make sure he was taking care of himself, although he thinks it's more of a nagging nuisance instead.
There's more but I probably write that all later.
