Go on record on the White House's preference in Pocket Monsters (Pokemon)

Created by A.J. on September 26, 2011

I'm not asking for you to waste important time, just maybe get an intern to go around with a pen and paper and collect one-word answers. This will help the younger generations feel a connection to those who answer, and inevitably make them more interested in politics.

Pokémon, being a popular franchise, has undoubtedly left its mark on pop culture. The Pokémon characters themselves have become pop culture icons; examples include two different Pikachu balloons in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, Pokémon Jets operated by All Nippon Airways, thousands of merchandise items, and a theme park in Nagoya, Japan in 2005 and Taipei in 2006. Pokémon also appeared on the cover of the U.S. magazine Time in 1999.

So the question is: Does the White House like Mudkips, or some other Pokemon?
