Bill would, but every time he goes to Alola, he tends to get … distracted. —LH
Lanette. They have. Wild eevee. Wild. Eevee. —Bill
That didn’t stop you from meeting Professor Sycamore in Kalos. —LH
He said he knew where to get high-quality poké puffs so eevee would evolve into sylveon faster. —Bill
Considering the fact that Hypnosis only puts a person to sleep, I would recommend consulting a doctor for apparent chronic somnambulism.
Just a suggestion.
Well, that depends on your crush, I’d imagine. Plenty of people name “romantic,” cute, or otherwise favored pokémon after people they care greatly for. Sometimes, the objects of affection find it flattering or even adorable. Others might not be so comfortable with the idea. I would recommend not telling your crush, however, unless you’re absolutely certain they’re amicable with you.
Are you thinking of that time you accidentally let it slip to the girl who runs the Goldenrod Flower Shop that you named an eevee after her? —LH
I am always thinking of that, but thank you yet again, Lanette. —Bill
Congratulations on your new flygon and trapinch, anonymous!
Stock up on kibble and build a shelter that can fit a mother flygon and her hatchlings. I’d imagine that Sootopolis may not be the most comfortable place for them when it rains. You might want to build a pit of mulch and dirt as well; that will resist flooding a bit more than a sand pit would.
Good luck!
In many cases, phobias are indeed something that one can grow out of, particularly because as we grow older, we come to have a better understanding of our world—or we are simply exposed to the things we fear long enough to grow used to them. It’s likely that this will be the case with your blitzle. Not only will she grow used to the sound of thunder thanks to the sound of her parents’ hooves, but eventually, she’ll learn electric attacks on her own and realize that she can, in fact, control the source of the sound. For now, do your best to make her feel safe and to calm her down whenever she panics. Your support will be helpful to her as she begins to learn electric techniques.
Best of luck, anonymous!
The easiest solution would be to recommend a telepath, especially particularly intelligent ones such as members of the abra line, as they can “cut out the middle man,” as it were, by projecting what you and your boyfriend’s mother mean into each other’s minds in a way that the both of you can understand. However, it would be far, far more productive to use a pokémon that can both translate verbally and act as a teaching aid.
To that end, chatot and murkrow tend to be popular among those who are learning new languages, as they can remember simple phrases and help their human partners recall past lessons or match concepts to new vocabulary. In your case, you could, for example, teach a chatot a word or phrase, connect it to a concrete concept, and have chatot teach your boyfriend’s mother or vice-versa. Alternatively, that chatot can serve as a translator if either of you teach it your own language in your own time—or at least enough to translate simple conversations.
Excellent question!
The answer is … quite honestly, all of the above. If you have a will, you absolutely can leave your pokémon in the care of someone trustworthy, and in fact, many people do just this (often in addition to leaving their pokémon portions of their estate). Of course, for people who don’t have a will, their pokémon are often left in the care of their next of kin, any other blood relative, or a designated receiver such as a friend or significant other, and if one can’t be found, they’re placed in a pokémon shelter or left with breeders to be adopted by other trainers.
Incidentally, the storage system is set up to do this automatically. If you’ve signed up for a system account (which you are automatically if you’ve been given a trainer’s license), then the system will automatically recall your pokémon and send them to whomever you’ve listed as your emergency contact (who often is one of the above-mentioned relations) the moment you’re listed as legally deceased in your home’s national database. This way, even if you die abruptly on the road, your pokémon can be brought to a safe place.
It could. Usually, giving them enough drinking water in a dish is enough to keep them hydrated, but some—such as bellsprout and oddish—prefer to be rooted in dirt and watered as you would a houseplant, either instead of or in addition to providing water in a dish. Likewise, while the plant half of some pokémon (such as members of the bubasaur line) remain hydrated simply by sharing fluids with their hosts, it’s often more effective to water them as well.
For a young girl living in Sinnoh, electric-types are the easiest and best choice. Above all else, you’ll want something that can attack from a distance—not necessarily with the intent of hurting the murkrow so much as scaring them off. Electric-types not only have that capability and a well-known type advantage against flying-types such as murkrow but also the ability to spread their attacks if necessary. That is, while a Thunderbolt can strike a single target, with practice, it can also catch multiple birds with one shot, unlike Rock Slide (which requires a considerable amount of accuracy training) or even Ice Beam (which concentrates the ice element into a single beam … never mind the fact that not that many pokémon near Hearthome can utilize it).
As for which pokémon, specifically, to use, to the south of Hearthome is a rather famous pokémon collector named Mr. Backlot. His garden is open to the public, and it’s routinely stocked with different pokémon he wishes to share with others. You’ll be able to find pikachu and pichu there on a daily basis, both of whom may be excellent choices, as well as plusle and minun as part of the rotational stock. Alternatively, although they’re fairy- and normal-types, other stock pokémon such as porygon, clefairy, and castform may also be excellent choices with the right TMs. If, however, none of these will work or if the garden is closed (as it sometimes is, being on private property and all), pachirisu may also be an option for you, so long as you’re willing to cross Mt. Coronet.

Moving can be incredibly stressful to a pokémon, even if they’re intelligent enough to understand what you have to tell them. So the important thing to do first is to maintain some semblance of normalcy. Stick to your routine, even if you have a lot of packing to do. Walk Howlite at the same time every day, feed him on schedule, and so forth. This will help him cling to something stable, which in turn will keep him calm.
Second, believe it or not, you shouldn’t tell him you won’t leave him behind. Not in those words, anyway. Pokémon are intelligent, but they pick up on our tone a lot more readily than our words. If you say you won’t leave him behind, he’ll likely interpret this as you will leave him behind. Instead, say, “We’ll be moving together.” Talk about what you plan on doing in this new home. Describe his space in your new home. Perhaps even tell him a bit about the neighborhood and the things he can do in it if you happen to be moving a bit further out. Always maintain a positive attitude, and whenever talking about your new home, remember to include Howlite in the way you talk about it. Eventually, Howlite will understand that the new place will be his as well.
Finally, do everything you can otherwise to keep him calm. Walk him if he seems agitated by the activity. Play with him. Have a friend help you pack so you can devote some time to Howlite if you can. Then, on moving day, be sure to walk him first to help him release pent-up energy, then keep him with you at all times. Unpack his things as quickly as possible to give his space a touch of familiarity, and get back to your normal routine as soon as you can.
In short, be aware of Howlite’s stress levels and do everything you can to help him relax. Combine this with language that firmly establishes that the new place will be his (rather than that he shouldn’t worry about being left behind), and the move will go far smoother.
Best of luck, and congratulations on your new home!
