Laughing with Pokémon (Species)

Some years ago, I wrote a post on a few humorous Pokémon matters that I thought would also help my situation back then in desiring a laugh. Now, while I'm not terribly in need of a laugh like that time, it seems useful to think up of several Pokémon species that can either bring laughter or allow for laughing together. It is at least a little bit of fun that can be taken.

For a ghostly good laugh, it's hard to beat Gengar, although Haunter (its evolutionary predecessor) and Banette aren't far behind. All three of these Pokémon have a unique countenance that one can't help laughing with - and in a way, perhaps they themselves cannot help laughing either, as has been demonstrated a few times. Considering their jokester penchant, it's not hard for them or people to laugh in each other's presence.

It is known that some monkeys have a funny way about them, and the Aipom family is no different. The smirk on the identifying family member makes it appear capable of bursting into laughter at any time, and this is also true for its evolution, Ambipom, though perhaps to a lesser extent. The palm-shaped ends of their tails might also become a source of amusement with what they may do with them, adding to their package.

Meanwhile, a more indirect source of laughter could be construed to come from Darmanitan as well as its predecessor Darumaka, mostly of the original ones from Unova. While having the same energies as the Aipom family as above, they're also chubby and lucky-styled, and that at least in some respects may be deserving to beget some laughter. Coupled with their high fire energy, they make for a unique kind of laugh.

Of course, it is possible to be laughing and to laugh with Pokémon species in many other different ways. But the way that these may have their own ways of inciting that laughter makes them at least personally notable for that very reason. That may just be something I need right now, whether I know or do not know that I need it - yet with all my dealings, I know Pokémon is still essential.
