Hey Bill, do you know any Rockruff breeders in Kanto? I took a trip to Alola and came back with a Dusk Lycanroc and a Furfrou, and whenever a baby pokemon is around, the two boys shower them with affection, and I’m pretty certain they want to become parents. I’d have no problem with this, except.. I’m in Kanto, and my boys seem to be bonded to each other specifically.

I’m afraid not, which is an odd thing to say, given that Kanto is a region home to a young man who’s both a breeder in his spare time and a rock specialist, and rockruff are capable of adapting to our climate. Nonetheless, there doesn’t seem to be much local interest in breeding rockruff specifically. However, because both of your pokémon are canines, you may have some luck in simply giving them a growlithe, houndour, or eevee puppy instead (which all are popular breeding subjects in this region). So long as it’s young and has similar needs to their species, they likely will still accept it as their own.

My fursona’s a Furfrou!

Oh, that must be adorable! Not only is furfrou a cute pokémon by default, but you always have options for keeping your look fresh, what with the different hairstyles real furfrou can have. Just imagine the la reine trim on a fursona!

Trainer with the Furfrou, Dusk Lycanroc, And Nidorino here! While they can’t type, my Furfrou, Ghast, discovered your blog via looking over my shoulder. A week later, I had two very good boys (Ghast and my Lycanroc, Cliff) reading over my shoulder, and another certified good boy (Arrow, my Nidorino) reading from my lap.

How come most stylists only offer nine styles for furfrou? Where did these styles come from, and how come nobody seems to offer anything else?

Tradition, mostly. Or trends. Fashion is an odd thing, but essentially, those styles are either the ones most in vogue at the moment or classic ones that have been determined to be the best-looking on furfrou for generations, much like how the pixie cut has been in and out of fashion for humans, but the bob is ever-present … and shaggy and wavy is perhaps the most attractive of all.

[[Keep telling yourself that, Bill. —LH]]

Furfrou

Furfrou
The Poodle Pokémon
Type: Normal
Official Registration #: 676
Entry: A regal, dog-like pokémon traditionally given to Kalosean royalty as guardians. Because of both this and their easy-to-style coarse fur, furfrou have been both status symbols and fashion icons in the region since the eighteenth century. Perhaps to quell any possible guilt one may have for styling furfrou’s fur, it is commonly said among the Kalosean people that trimming a furfrou’s coat increases its swiftness. This is not necessarily true. While, yes, shaving a furfrou and relieving it of its thick, wild coat will help it to move its limbs and run unburdened, the issue is that a pokémon can only be so swift when the fur on its head has been shaped into a giant top hat.
