Baby show me 1+1=2
Show me all the things that you can do
Show me that you need me, show me that you love me
Baby show me 1+1=2
Baby show me 1+1=2
Show me all the things that you can do
Show me that you breathe me, show me that you hug me
Baby show me that 1+1=2
-- "1+1=2", Lou Bega
Several years ago, for a very numerically driven year, I ended the year with a reflective writeup that concerned the primary number in question. Along with that, I also brought in a comment from a certain musician (not the one which will soon become obvious) that a specific way of arithmetically mentioning the year may not always be how it seems. This time, I'm bringing back the philosophical topic in a truer sense and addressing it with other relevant Pokémon matters, as well as a related but perhaps lesser-known song by a singer who was momentarily popular for another song.
The song - stated as "one plus one is two" - in some ways does concern a "significant other" for which when one becomes together with that entity, there is the possibility of being able to do a lot of things - especially when the "significant other" is also capable of doing a lot of things as well, some that may be as mentioned in the chorus of the song as quoted above. This definitely bodes well for romance, which is the song's main intent, but it could also work for certain other things.
Certainly, some of those things could be Pokémon ones. A Trainer and a partner Pokémon make up a "two", as does two of the latter on one side of a Double Battle as well as the two sides of any battle in general, no matter how many people and Pokémon are on each side. Everyone and everything as mentioned have the capability to do great things together - in fact, those things could resemble the ones as mentioned in the above chorus, with or without romance somehow involved.
Meanwhile, contemporarily, many Trainers of certain fame are also linked to a specific partner Pokémon, which makes them significant for great things in all kinds of battles. Then, it's also possible for fans to collect merchandise items that belong together, between themselves and the fans in question. That makes for Pokémon twosomes that are significant for themselves and among others as well.
Philosophically, the previous writeup remains relevant, but it's hard to deny that one and one of something makes up two of those things. That applies even for Pokémon things, which can and do sometimes come in twos and make for great things. For that, to close off this post, another part of the same song makes for a great affirmation of truly "significant others", even for Pokémon by its many fans:
You're my my my number one
And not my my my number five
So please baby, please baby, please baby come
Please baby, come and get into my life!
