Video/Action for Violet City

[Shaun looks pale and trembling, and his eyes are wide and scared. He looks - and sounds, when he finally speaks - like he's been crying. All he can manage are four short words, before his voice cracks and it's all he can do not to break down.]

Norman won't wake up.

hehe yeah.
they can actually learn a lot of things that you wouldn't expect! stuff like flamethrower and ice beam.
it's one of the cool things about normal types.

the same thing anybody does, really. train them, just spend time doing nothing of real importance with them. you know like goof off and stuff.
i have some that like to draw so sometimes we do that.
i bring my audino to work with me.
i just have to switch them out a lot more than some people in order to spend time with all of them.

I don't actually think I have any normal-types yet.

But don't they get lonely being in the box? I mean, I didn't really think about it when I played the game, but it seems kind of mean.
You have some that like to draw?

i am kind of surprised you don't considering how many there are!

ahaha, yeah there are lots of things that you suddenly think about more now that they are real.
but if they do get lonely, they don't seem to show it?
i like to think that wherever they go when they're in the pc, they get to hang out with each other.
but they never complain about being in the box unless i leave them in there for a REEAAAALLLY long time or something.
actually...my illumise prefers being in the box but she's kind of odd like that.
yes! casey, my lopunny, has always loved to draw and she has gotten some of my others in on it too.
casey is actually a very good artist, much better than me...not that that takes a whole lot but still!

The truth is I actually haven't caught any pokemon on my own yet.
Susie was my starter and then I got Calvin as an egg when I got to Cherrygrove.
And then Norman's friend gave me Blaze and Richie.
I don't know if I want more than 6 pokemon so I'm being really careful about what I want the last two to be.

That's really neat! Can you show me some of her artwork sometime? Calvin likes to fingerpaint. Paw-paint? He was excited when he evolved because now he's got little fingers on his paws and he can do details and stuff.
He also uses his tail and gets really messy.

because you don't want to box them?

if i don't, she probably will. she's hijacked my gear a few times to share with the network.
hehe, casey was the same as calvin though. when she was a buneary, she didn't really had fingers so she just kind of had to hold the crayons in both paws and move with them.
it was kind of ridiculously adorable to watch, actually.
my lampent, chandel, tries to draw with her now but she doesn't really have hands so sometimes it's hard to tell what she's drawing.
though i wonder if painting would be more her thing, now that you have mentioned it.
i ended up going with crayons in the beginning just because they are less of a mess and easier to carry around. but with her skinny little arms she would probably be a pretty good painter.

Yeah. It was different in the games but now it doesn't feel right. I wish there was someplace you could send them where they could run around outside and stuff.

I have crayons too. But for Valentine's Day I made cards for my friends, and I wanted to put all my pokemon's pawprints on them, so paint was better for that.
What about you? Do you draw and stuff?

[ghostytrainer]

one of these days, someone really should figure out what happens inside the box.

not WELL but yeah, sometimes i do.

[Shaun, you are probably a better artist than he is.]

[neededlassie]

They really should. I'd feel a lot better knowing that they weren't all cramped and lonely and stuff.

I like drawing, but every time I try to sit down my pokemon always make a big mess.
