Video/Action for Violet City
[It's the middle of the afternoon, and Shaun has something very important to share.]
Guess what! Guess what!
[The camera pans over to a rather proud-looking Floatzel and a Mightyena who's sitting loyally and staring at the Pokegear (really, at the boy holding it) with a curious head tilt, her tail wagging against the ground.]
Susie and Richie evolved! Look how big they are! Isn't that awesome?
[Forgive him, he's still at the self-centered age where he's relatively positive that almost everyone cares about his accomplishments. Or his pokemon's accomplishments, as it were. Also, Mightyena are rumored to only obey experienced trainers, so this kid must be no pushover to have her panting happily and butting her head against his hand when he reaches out from behind the Pokegear to scratch her behind the ear.]

But at least it all turned out okay, right?

Probably Calvin, from Susie turning around and smacking him one when he shocked her.]
Yeah. I mean, in the game you never had to make sure everybody got along.

Yeah... well, reality's always gonna be a hell of a lot more complicated than any game. Comes with the territory.
That's what makes it fun.

True...
And I definitely like it more this way.
[Video]
Same.
I feel bad for anyone who goes home and has to go back to playing Pokemon on a piddly little Gameboy.
Must be pale as hell after doing the real thing.

Did you play them too?

I was more of an arcade game sort of kid. Dad was no fan of video games so there was nothin' like that in the house.
