Yeah, good luck with your theory.

If it helps, Monkey D. Luffy got a monkey pokemon, and Kazooie got a bird pokemon -- she used to be a bird in her world.

I'm called the Wild Dog or Loose Hound of the marines back in my world though, and I'm still looking for a growlithe. [Shrugs.] So I don't know if that means anything or not. Just more data for you.
