In his human form (as Judas McCartney), Paul is an androgynous-looking man with long brown hair and a pair of either pink or pink and green sunglasses. He wears a light purple shirt with white stripes on it, along with a white undershirt, purple jeans, white socks, and large black shoes.

Much like his namesake Beatle, Paul the Butterfree is cheerful, modest, and generally a peacekeeper. Absolutely nothing fazes him, not even Fire or Rock-type Pokemon, and he will usually stop a fight from happening before even daring to get into one himself. This was most notably shown when Kim got Kaylan for the first time. Upon seeing the Pokemon that would be named [[Kaylan]], [[Hanuman]], and [[Ritchie]] fighting in Rowan's lab, Paul wasted little time talking to Kaylan to see what was going on, and eventually got [[Kaylan]] and [[Hanuman]] to realize the misunderstanding without raising his voice or physically interfering even once. If he does have to battle, he much prefers to use status moves such as Sleep Powder or String Shot before any kind of actual, physical Bug-type moves. Paul absolutely loves music, particularly the music of his namesake's bands- his very first scene consisted of him singing "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" to himself while Kim counted his syllables in her quest to learn Monese. By his own admission, though, he loves the Beatles far more than he does Wings-- though he does consider the song "Maybe I'm Amazed" to be a classic Paul McCartney track. Despite his role as a starter Pokemon on Kim's team, Paul does not appear as much when compared to other members of Kim's team-- most notably [[Geddy]], [[Elton]], and [[Peechee]]. However, this does not seem to faze him-- thus far, he hasn't really complained all that much about not being as prominent as Kim's other mons despite being her starter. In fact, at the very beginning of Kim's journey on board the Stormchaser, Paul was the one who suggested to Kim the idea of going out into the world and catching new Pokemon, delighted at the prospect of Kim having more friends on her team. Also despite his limited screentime, it is immensely clear that he loves and trusts Kim very much and would do just about anything for her-- in the Bond or Break game with Kim, he trusted immediately that Kim would know who he was. Additionally, besides Geddy, he expressed the most concern for Kim's health and well-being in the aftermath of her being attacked by Jigsaw on Halloween night.

While Paul is generally cheerful towards his friends, he also serves as a leader of sorts-- both to Kim's other team members and to a group of three other Bug-type Pokemon. These Pokemon- the sarcastic and egotistical [[John (Kim)|John]], the quiet and reserved [[George (Kim)|George]], and the plucky, brave, optimistic [[Ringo (Kim)|Ringo]]-- form a quartet with Paul known as the Beatlemons. Paul usually tries to keep the peace between the four members, but specifically has an interesting relationship with John. The two of them argue and bicker more often than other members of Kim's team-- though of course Paul doesn't necessarily raise his voice when arguing with John and takes all of his sarcastic comments in stride. This could suggest that Paul either does not understand sarcasm or simply takes it better than most other members of Kim's team would. He is also rather accepting of other's quirks, differences, and personalities- much like Elton later on.

Additionally, despite him not being that much of a battler, he is still supportive of other members of Kim's team who do enjoy battling, such as [[Dio]], [[Sinatra]], [[Elton]], and the aforementioned [[Peechee]].

Paul's self-demonstrating page is here.

Paul is Kimberly Bond's Butterfree, and the first Pokemon she acquired on her journey.

Appearance

In his Pokemon form, Paul resembles a normal male Butterfree.

In his human form (as Judas McCartney), Paul is an androgynous-looking man with long brown hair and a pair of either pink or pink and green sunglasses. He wears a light purple shirt with white stripes on it, along with a white undershirt, purple jeans, white socks, and large black shoes. He is often seen with a flower pin in his hair, though what kind of flower it is varies between transformations. Mostly, it is either a red or white rose.

Personality and characteristics

Much like his namesake Beatle, Paul the Butterfree is cheerful, modest, and generally a peacekeeper. Absolutely nothing fazes him, not even Fire or Rock-type Pokemon, and he will usually stop a fight from happening before even daring to get into one himself. This was most notably shown when Kim got Kaylan for the first time. Upon seeing the Pokemon that would be named Kaylan, Hanuman, and Ritchie fighting in Rowan's lab, Paul wasted little time talking to Kaylan to see what was going on, and eventually got Kaylan and Hanuman to realize the misunderstanding without raising his voice or physically interfering even once. If he does have to battle, he much prefers to use status moves such as Sleep Powder or String Shot before any kind of actual, physical Bug-type moves. Paul absolutely loves music, particularly the music of his namesake's bands- his very first scene consisted of him singing "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" to himself while Kim counted his syllables in her quest to learn Monese. By his own admission, though, he loves the Beatles far more than he does Wings-- though he does consider the song "Maybe I'm Amazed" to be a classic Paul McCartney track. Despite his role as a starter Pokemon on Kim's team, Paul does not appear as much when compared to other members of Kim's team-- most notably Geddy, Elton, and Peechee. However, this does not seem to faze him-- thus far, he hasn't really complained all that much about not being as prominent as Kim's other mons despite being her starter. In fact, at the very beginning of Kim's journey on board the Stormchaser, Paul was the one who suggested to Kim the idea of going out into the world and catching new Pokemon, delighted at the prospect of Kim having more friends on her team. Also despite his limited screentime, it is immensely clear that he loves and trusts Kim very much and would do just about anything for her-- in the Bond or Break game with Kim, he trusted immediately that Kim would know who he was. Additionally, besides Geddy, he expressed the most concern for Kim's health and well-being in the aftermath of her being attacked by Jigsaw on Halloween night.

While Paul is generally cheerful towards his friends, he also serves as a leader of sorts-- both to Kim's other team members and to a group of three other Bug-type Pokemon. These Pokemon- the sarcastic and egotistical John, the quiet and reserved George, and the plucky, brave, optimistic Ringo-- form a quartet with Paul known as the Beatlemons. Paul usually tries to keep the peace between the four members, but specifically has an interesting relationship with John. The two of them argue and bicker more often than other members of Kim's team-- though of course Paul doesn't necessarily raise his voice when arguing with John and takes all of his sarcastic comments in stride. This could suggest that Paul either does not understand sarcasm or simply takes it better than most other members of Kim's team would. He is also rather accepting of other's quirks, differences, and personalities- much like Elton later on. Not only did Paul not even initially notice Dio's scar upon first meeting him, he also is able to tolerate some of the more eccentric members of Kim's team. This most notably applies to Orwell-- who talks almost entirely via Newspeak-- and Peechee-- who can be violent and bloodthirsty when in the heat of battle. Additionally, despite him not being that much of a battler, he is still supportive of other members of Kim's team who do enjoy battling, such as Dio, Sinatra, Elton, and the aforementioned Peechee.

Of all of Kim's Pokemon thus far, he is the only one to not have a Personality File of him shown on-screen.

Background

For the most part, not much is known about Paul's backstory, besides the fact that he was caught as a Caterpie by Kim's father in the Galar region. Shortly afterwards, he was given to Kimberly Bond and quickly evolved into a Metapod and later a Butterfree, all the while helping her in her quest to learn Monese.

Trivia

  • Paul was named after Paul McCartney of the Beatles, which, along with John, George, and Ringo, makes him one of the four Beatlemons. Like the other Beatlemons, the name partially serves as a pun on his Bug typing. However, Paul McCartney was often cited by fans as the de facto leader of the Beatles, and wrote a bunch of songs for the Beatles that dealt with peace, love, and comfort-- including Paul's character theme "Hey Jude". In addition, he has also advocated for charity and is a supporter of vegetarianism, which is reflected in Paul's nonviolent and kindhearted demeanor. McCartney's secondary band Wings could also be referenced by Paul's secondary Flying typing as well.
  • Paul's human form is named Judas McCartney, from his namesake and from the Beatles song "Hey Jude."
  • Paul's regular chat handle is BeatleflyJudas, and his Hasslemon chat handle, according to Goldenheart388, is butterflyCrossing (BC).
  • According to Goldenheart388, Paul's character theme is "Hey Jude" by the Beatles, his Broadway character theme is "Love Thy Neighbor" from The Prom, and his headcanon voice is Jess Harnell, voice of Wakko Warner from Animaniacs, doing an impression of Paul McCartney sped up through a voice recording.
  • Of all four Beatlemons, Paul is notably the only one to have a Liverpulidian accent-- John and George both have standard RP accents, while Ringo is Cockney. According to Goldenheart388, this was partially because she couldn't find many TV characters with Liverpulidian accents and partially because she is unable to do a Liverpulidian accent.
  • Paul's birthday, June 18th, is shared with that of his namesake Paul McCartney. This holds true for all mons on Kimberly Bond's team save for Orwell, Peechee, and Boseman.
