[Ken is on screen, rolling the Storm badge between his fingers.]

I have four gym badges, now. That means I'm halfway to getting them all, right?

[Precocious twelve year old time.] Why does everyone get so excited about them? You're not even fighting, yourselves. My Pokemon like it, so I'll keep doing it. And I'll keep making sure they're ( Read more... )

... I don't get excited...

[akjandfklajsdfa NOT YOU KISA, OH MY GOD NOT YOU.]

I know. [fff don't look so sad.] But a lot of people do. One of my friends from home does this all the time.

They like fighting...?

[video] usedrage August 10 2011, 23:24:24 UTC

Mitsuru-san has been fighting since she started here.

[Harry has yet to actually fight a real battle, instead of just wandering around training.]

I still don't understand that.

Doing things like this is illegal where I'm from.

video harryusedworry August 10 2011, 15:29:57 UTC

I think making animals fight each other is illegal in most places actually.

I wonder if there was ever a law like that here.

Probably not. [He shakes his head.] I hate it.

Probably because it's a good marker of progress.

usedrage August 10 2011, 16:46:26 UTC

Progress for what?

lunarbonds August 10 2011, 16:52:28 UTC

For your pokemon, I guess?

usedrage August 10 2011, 16:57:04 UTC

... For what?

Perhaps it is the feeling of accomplishment you get from achieving something. Besides even that, it does seem to be the standard of this world. The same rules of animal cruelty do not likely apply.

Congratulations on your victory.

[voice] usedrage August 10 2011, 23:29:56 UTC

Even if they don't apply, Pokemon can still get hurt.

[voice] hatespussy August 16 2011, 20:15:41 UTC

Yes, and they can be fixed as well. As you said, they themselves like it. There is something to the feeling of being knocked down, and beaten, yet surviving and coming out stronger for it.

[He speaks from personal experience.]

[video] bufudyned August 10 2011, 18:48:28 UTC

Oh, already? That was a very swift turnaround. Congratulations again.

... though, ah, I understand why you might be concerned for the Pokemon's well-being, but they do seem very resilient when it comes to battling.

[video] usedrage August 10 2011, 23:30:53 UTC

Turnaround?

They're resilient, not invulnerable. It's still wrong.

[video] bufudyned August 12 2011, 03:17:58 UTC

It feels like yesterday you just earned your third badge.

... quite true, but they also seem to enjoy battle. And the ones that don't are the ones that we should not force to fight.

[video] usedrage August 12 2011, 03:28:20 UTC

It wasn't that long ago. [A shrug.]

... Would you use Koromaru to fight in a gym? Even if he liked fighting, would you risk him for that?
