Hey bill, if you’re gonna turn yourself into a Pokémon again , try being a pikachu. They’re super popular in Alola , get yourself a ticket to alola , poof into a pikachu. Then people will fawn over you

People already fawn over me. It’s actually a little unsettling.

You know, you could add actual security to your property, Bill… —LH

Yes, but Brent seems perfectly harmless. Even if he was going through my trash that one time. —Bill

Hey bill, y’know molayne does know professor kukui. Like, they grew up together . If you’re ever in alola, go say hello

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

Is it creepy to name your cutiefly after your crush, or sweet?

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

So I live in Sootopolis, Hoenn and didn’t have a flying Pokémon. I took a trip to Desert Pass to maybe catch a trapinch. I found one but she was stuck wiggling on her back. I helped her but then a sandstorm kicked up to where I couldn’t leave. So this trapinch took me to its cave where I met its 10 siblings and flygon mother. I spent a day with them and flygon flew me home. I found out that the trapinch hid in my bag. Flygon came back with her babies &I have a flygon and 10 babes in my backyard

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!

i think i have a blitzle that’s afraid of thunder? she gets very skittish and anxious during storms, and even the sound of her parent zebstrika running can bother her. she’s still young, so is this something she’ll outgrow? i’m especially worried for her as an electric type.

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!

Um, hi, yes, my Houndoom Hannah has recently begun expecting a litter of puppies. Any good advice?

Invest in a lot of aloe.

On a serious note, for the most part, a lot of the care will be handled by the mother for the first few months. Simply give her enough space, be sure she’s comfortable, take her to regular pokémon center appointments, and follow everything your Nurse Joy tells you, and the delivery will be relatively painless. Moreover, once hatching, the pups will likely stick to their mother (and the mother will insist on this if the pups don’t), and of course, the usual feeding, grooming, and so forth will be done by Hannah.

Once the pups grow and become more independent, assuming you keep all of them, care of them will follow the same basic outline as the care you’ve given Hannah. I would simply recommend that you fireproof as much of your home as possible and keep an eye on them, as houndour pups are naturally curious, mischievous, and social—and the latter is relevant because one possible way of communicating for houndour is through their use of fire. Something will be set on fire in your home, in other words, and this will simply be a part of your life until you teach Hannah’s puppies otherwise.

If, however, you choose to give away the puppies, be sure to find a reputable shelter or breeder, or simply leave them with the pokémon center. There are quite a few shelters out there that may be either high-kill or less-than-reputable (that is, fronts for illegal pokémon fighting rings), so it’s worth it to do your research beforehand.

Best of luck and congratulations!

I am a Hoenn native and met my boyfriend on an abroad trip to Kalos. We’ve been together two years now and he moved to Hoenn with me but when we visit his mother I can barely understand her due to differences in language. Is there any Pokémon that can help bridge the gap? I’m trying to learn more Kalosian and she knows some Hoennian but not enough to have conversations efficiently

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.

Hi Bill. What happens to Pokemon if their trainer suddenly dies. Do they go to family members, or are they sent to a place to be adopted? Could you give a Pokemon to someone in your will if you had one?

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.
