heartsplinteredWhat's the general average of Pokémon caught versus time spent here, guys? I feel like I'm way fuckin' behind since I haven't got many. I guess maybe I'm just picky.
Oh.
[He switches to Video, hoisting his Riolu into the field of vision. He-- smiles, moreso than he grins, which is probably an odd sight to most.] This is Roxy. And, uh-- Sawtooth, stop chopping up tree branches y'fuckin' nerd, get over here. [The gear moves around in a dizzying motion as Dirk sets Roxy down and carries the gear to a nearby tree, in which his Skarmory is perched and, as mentioned, chopping away at tree branches with his wings. Dirk sighs.] Smile for the camera, dummy.

Theyre positively adorable!
[ also jake where are you at you're in his travel group. ]
jesus christ jake
Date: 2014-02-09 01:32 am (UTC)Here. Roxy's a little shy still, but Sawtooth's a camera whore.
[He flicks the video function on and clicks his tongue, trying to get the Riolu's attention. The gear shakes a little as he flops to sit at the base of the tree his Skarmory is still hacking away at, so there are leaves and bits of bark raining down around him. Eventually the Riolu circles around behind the tree and peers out from behind it, and Dirk just grins between where he knows she's hiding and his gear.]

Most people only have about thirty or so, I think. You haven't been here all that long, right?

text; AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FAIL TO PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR FRIENDS LIST. also 1/...3.
Date: 2014-02-09 03:01 am (UTC)You can't tell me you're surprised.
It's Void-blue and all about feelings and auras and shit.
It's totally you in two-foot adorable Pokémon form.
text; 2/3
Date: 2014-02-09 03:02 am (UTC)It's been a couple of days since I've checked my gear, but shit.
Kind of a monumental arrival I've missed, that's gonna go on my permanent record.
Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?
text; 3/3
Date: 2014-02-09 03:04 am (UTC)I named a Riolu after you for fuck's sake I think that says embarrassingly enough.
Though she's still you in two-foot adorable Pokémon form.

Date: 2014-02-09 03:43 am (UTC)Excuse me. I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there really a standard for catching Pokemon like that?
[It took about five minutes of writing and rewriting the text to finally post her question. And even after it's posted, she kind of wishes she could just delete it. Nevermind! Ignore her question! But if she said anything now, that would just make it worse. Plus she genuinely wants to know...
So sorry for any future long pauses in this conversation.]
Text;
Date: 2014-02-09 05:03 am (UTC)No no, you're fine. I'm not the right person to ask, though-- I bought both Sawtooth and Roxy as eggs, I didn't catch 'em.
I could ask my brother for you, though. He's got a shit ton of 'mon.
[He isn't quite fully aware of her awkwardness with questioning him, as the text comes across relatively resolute, so he just sort of shrugs and ponders the topic.]

Date: 2014-02-10 03:37 am (UTC)I think for the time being operating with a small team to fine-tune suits me best.
And by small I mean I about have a Pokémon for every month I've been here, which isn't much.

And also how much you can afford to take care of them, too.
[Text] I am the latest it is me.
Date: 2014-02-16 05:06 am (UTC)I guess it was a sort of vague question that I mostly knew the answer to already, really.
They really are a lot like owning pets, you can have as few or as many as you want, depending on what you want to do with them.

Date: 2014-02-10 11:53 pm (UTC)But it really just depends on the person as far as roster size. [He shrugs] I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's not like having a shit ton of Pokémon automatically makes you a better trainer or something.

Date: 2014-02-16 05:08 am (UTC)Though just sayin', if I get an Espeon I'm naming it after your girlfriend.
Definitely not. I just wondered if there was a common goal to achieve based on time spent here, or something.

[Just comparing Lucario lines here, don't mind her.]

Date: 2014-02-16 05:10 am (UTC)How will I ever compete? Also that is totally cheating you've been here for like three goddamn years.
Eh? [He peers at the Riolu, who ducks back behind the tree with a startled sound. He tilts his head.] I dunno, I'm no expert on Pokémon behavior.
