Luvdisc
The Rendezvous Pokémon
Type: Water
Official Registration #: 370
Entry: A small but rare fish pokémon native to warm, tropical waters. Due to its heart shape and the fact that it is most prevalent in Hoenn’s seas, it is considered a symbol of love to Hoennian culture, and giving one to a Hoennian is a means of expressing your eternal love for them. This is extremely vital information for non-native Hoennians with Hoennian friends, as making the mistake of giving one to your research partner—who is both from Hoenn and quite fond of things that are pink and cute—without prior knowledge of what luvdisc means in her culture will result in a very strongly worded email and an entire evening of very awkward apologies. Doubly so if you failed to enter the recipient’s ID # into the storage system’s gifting feature correctly and wind up sending it to her sister instead.

Alomomola
The Caring Pokémon
Type: Water
Official Registration #: 594
Entry: Once thought to be an evolved form of luvdisc, alomomola is actually an unrelated species whose “shows of affection” are actually its attempts to heal any injured creature it comes across as it swims. This is also vital information for a non-native Hoennian, particularly after they’re been knocked into the ocean by their justifiably upset research partner’s solrock.
