[It's sometime midday when Rika turns the Gear on, and faces the camera towards herself. She's currently sitting down on the trail right outside of Goldenrod, coming back from a training session with her team.] Mii. Training really is a lot of fun. It's a great way to spend time with all of my pokémon. [She grins as a Ninetails nuzzles against her

Is something wrong?

[wantnotneed]

Would you happen to know a person named Lady Bernkastel?

Congratulations! Your team must be quite powerful by now. Have you had Hope for a long time?

Let's see. I named my Clefairy after my wife, my Banette after one of my swords, and my Butterfree and my Growlithe after two spells from my world. Nothing very original, I'm afraid.

[complexrestart]

Thank you. Yes, I have had her for a long time.

I wouldn't say that! Those things mean a lot to you, right?

[puppet_paladin]

It feels nice, seeing them evolve and become stronger. Like raising a child, somewhat.

They do. I suppose you could say I gave them these names to feel just a little closer to my home.

[video]

[complexrestart]

You're right. They begin to feel like family after a while.

Has it helped?

[bufudyned]

Congratulations, Furude.

I name mine after French poets and authors. Penthesilea and Artemisia, however, have names that originate from a different source.

[video]

[complexrestart]

Thank you very much, Mitsuru.

Mii? What is their source?

[video]

[bufudyned]

They are named after my Personas.

[video]

[complexrestart]

Your Personas?

[monkeyflirt]

Congrats!

[He appears thoughtful as he thinks this question over.]

Well...besides Pom, I've been naming my Pokémon after my friends from home. They're usually who they remind me of.

[video]

[complexrestart]

They do act a lot like people, don't they?

[video]

[monkeyflirt]

They do. They have a lot more personality than the...animals back home.

But I wouldn't even call Pokémon animals either, because they're too smart for that.

[video]

[complexrestart]

I wouldn't either. I'm not exactly sure what to call them, though.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Huh... I dunno. I just name 'em whatever seems right.

[Video]

[complexrestart]

I do that as well.

What are their names?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Well, my starter's named Cujo.

And uh... the others're named Claudy, Arty, Honey, and Godzilla.

[... one of these names s not like the others~]

[Video]

[complexrestart]

I like those names.

What qualities did they have that made you choose those names?
