Ok full on out Pokemon teams.
Ready for some incredibly way over thought analysis?
This post will be what I think what Obama's team would be... (Romney coming later likely.)
Team Obama
There aren't any Donkey based Pokemon... so the easiest idea is out... that said who is Obama's first pokemon in my mind?
Why Onix?
Second? Well Obama's all about the Solar energy right? So why not....
I mean he's the original Solar Powered Pokemon. Look at him, he's like a walking Solar Panel. Plus it answers which Starter pokemon Obama would go with.
Third on the team?
Little known fact? Barack Obama used to box... at least i'm pretty sure I read that in his biography. Having trouble finding info on it now...

Having two plant Pokemon on the same team is dicey... but I meant come on. Bellosom for the Hawaiian born president is a must have. No doubt he'd of had plenty of time to catch one.

So Obama has a bit of a Fire/Bug weakness now which is one reason why i think he'd be packing one of these.
Being born in Hawaii and living in seattle for part of his early life, it'd only make sense to have a water pokemon, and a Pelipper evolved from a Wingull seems to make too much sense and has a lot of team synergy.

Obama's most well known passion is Basektball. Stoutland is a favorite among Basketball Pokemon Trainers, and Obama has a dog.
Pokemon left in the box....
Also basektball related, in that he seemed the most likely to join Obama in 2 V 2 Pokemon and human basketball matches. Left out because he's a fighting type.
"Obamacare" of course. Left out because, i never really found Chansey or Blissey that useful, maybe I just suck at pokemon.
