Okay so this is a bit weird but… my best friend has an umbreon and I have a sylveon and whenever he and I are hanging out both our Pokémon keep trying to get us closer. Like my sylveon will lace our hands together, his umbreon will nudge us to be touching when we sit next to each other. Can you tell me why they’re doing this?

I could, but that would be meddling in the romantic affairs of other people, which I’ve been told by my partner that I’m never allowed to do again.

How do human like Pokémon like gardevoir and medicham sleep? Do they need a human bed? Or can they curl up like eevees and other Pokémon do?

They sleep very much like humans, anonymous. That is to say, they don’t curl up but rather lie down wherever they can. However, they don’t necessarily need special beds. Oftentimes, they’re content enough to sleep on whatever soft surface you have at the ready, including a couch, a cot, blankets on the floor, the ground itself, trees (in the case of the more … unusual sorts of fighting- and grass-types), or in very rare cases, your bed. Of course, many trainers still like to offer a simple bed to their pokémon anyway, although this isn’t always feasible for every trainer.

As a separate note, regardless of what less scrupulous blogs may have you believe, pokémon such as gardevoir, lopunny, and so forth are not the pokémon I was referring to when I said some human-like pokémon enjoy sleeping in the same bed as their trainers. (In fact, gardevoir especially prefer sleeping spaces as far from their trainers as possible, due to their inherent psychic abilities.) Rather, I was referring to sawk, throh, mr. mime, elgyem and beheeyem, and members of the machop line (but especially machamp).

Furthermore, I would not advise sharing a bed with a machamp. I will let your imaginations come up with the reason why.

My musharna seems to only eat my good dreams and leave me only remembering the bad :( what can I do to get my good dreams back?

Ensuring that you don’t go to bed while she’s hungry generally tends to be the best way to go. Try filling her kibble bowl just before you go to sleep at night so she has a food source handy. Likewise, consider setting up a bed for her outside your room and locking your door at night to discourage her from eating your dreams.

Alternatively, if you want her to eat your dreams (and, admittedly, this is a good way to supplement her diet), employ a bit of aromatherapy, meditate for at least a half an hour before you go to bed, and try to sleep as relaxed as possible in order to foster good dreams. Keep a dream journal as well to help exercise your subconscious and allow you to dream vividly. The better you get at dreaming (by placing yourself in a relaxed state before sleeping and by chronicling the dreams you can remember), the more you’ll produce good dreams, to the point where you’ll be left with something after your musharna has eaten her fill. Additionally, try to train yourself to daydream during the day to give her something to snack on.

If all else fails, I’ve always felt that dreaming of particularly bizarre things not only encourages creativity but also makes psychics far less inclined to dive into your mindscape. For example, whenever I feel the unmistakable itch of my kadabra (or any psychic, really) attempting to invade my brain, I simply think of this video, and that usually discourages them. View it enough times, and you’ll train yourself to dream about it too.

Best of luck, anonymous!

Hey Bill, can you get me Cassius’s contact info? I was hoping to employ his services for… a thing. You’re less culpable if you don’t know any more than that, but suffice to say it’s technically legal in international waters via an esoteric loophole in maritime law, and also it’s pretty cool.

I’m neither going to inquire any further about your upcoming project, nor inform you that you may reach Cassius at [REDACTED]@[REDACTED].com so long as you tell him that I did not send you and that you are perfectly willing to pay in Bitpyen, as that would be irresponsible of me, and as I’ve said to my partner, I am in no way going to use this blog to encourage anyone or Cassius to engage in business that is frankly none of my concern.

how often do ghost types possess people? theres a group of girls near where i live who are ghost type users who the town has labeled “Hex Maniacs” and theyre so.. weird… they sometimes have weird jerky movements, when they enter a room it chills… and they have no pupils… ive seen them at night walking around and i hear laughing. its very scary and i dont know what to do about it

Actually, it’s very rare for ghost-types to possess people. It only really happens if the human invites a ghost to do so. (This is why channelers and hex maniacs tend to be more susceptible to it: they’re often working with ghosts to the point where they run at a risk of accidentally inviting such behavior.)

More often than naught, though, hex maniacs are simply eccentric people who are very fond of white contacts, not victims of possession. The behavior you’ve just described, for example, actually sounds pretty accurate for the average hex maniac.
