[ When the feed clicks on, there are water droplets all across the screen, enough to distort the image of a little boy in a too-big jacket. He's shivering, free hand buried in the coat for warmth, a Pidgeotto perched on the arm that holds the Pokegear. There's snow in its ruffled feathers, and in its trainer's hair ( Read more... )

congratulations! hypothermia was caught!, evolution, now with 20% less shouting, !route 30, true shonen heroes don't fear frostbite, someone hug him, :brown

[He's also miserable in this terrible weather, but he's just as determined to get to Violet City. Alois walks up beside him and places his hand on his shoulder.]

Seems we're headed in the same direction. [His pokémon are warm in their pokéballs.]

[ Shooter, being ten years old and a bit of a derp, doesn't really pay attention to the figure out of the corner of his eye until there's a hand on his shoulder. He jumps, upsetting his bird and nearly dropping his Pokegear in the process -- the Pidgeotto squawks and repositions itself to the kid's shoulder, then directs its grumpy bird stare at Alois. Shooter just blinks. ]

Oh, yeah! Are you going to Violet for a badge, too?

...In the games, you could press the B button -- but I dunno if that works here. I haven't seen a B button around here, in any case.

B button? I think I remember that... I never really wanted my Pokemon to stay how they were, in the games.

But I'll look for a B button anyway. Thanks, mister!

I never want them to not evolve either -- even here! But it's okay.

Yeah... but Purple's special. He's my starter! He can't be the best Rattata in the world if he's not a Rattata anymore.

[ CAN'T LET YOUNGSTER JOEY BEAT HIM THERE. ]

Why wouldn't you want your pokemon to evolve?!
That's just crazy!

usedslam February 12 2011, 08:07:40 UTC

Well... his name is Purple, and Raticate aren't purple! It wouldn't make sense! And he's my very very first Pokemon so I guess I'm kinda used to him like this.

[ Still video! But give him a minute, Vriska, he'll wind up using text back at you sooner or later. ]

[ Take your time, kiddo. ]

Well yeah there's that.
8ut think of all the wasted potential for holding 8ack it's evolution!
How are you going to 8ecome champ and how are you going to 8ring equality 8etween humans and aliens?!

[ You're breaking his ten-year-old heart here, man. ]

But...! He can't be the best Rattata ever if he's not a Rattata! And I just got a new Pokemon egg, and it's going to be something awesome when it hatches, so it balances out, kinda!

Sometimes they get less cute when they evolve. Leafy isn't evolving and I'm kind glad in a way, but I hope that means he won't get stronger. Hmm...

Oh hey! Did your egg hatch yet!?

[video] usedslam February 13 2011, 22:14:27 UTC

What kind is Leafy?

Not yet, but I think it's gonna hatch soon! It makes weird noises sometimes, and I think I saw it move! I hope the snow's not hurting it...
