Hey, a while ago I sent an ask about teaching my Pangoro the TM Infestation. The move was great in combat, but I had a problem with the move outside of battle. And by that I mean my Pangoro accidently infested my house. Now I know you’re probably thinking that I should just call pest control, but the guy I usually go to is out of town and… Would it be smart to release a bunch of Poliwags in my house? They eat bugs, right? There’s a whole pond of ’em near by… Is this a good idea? Please help.

This would only be a good idea if you didn’t mind recreating There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly but with a house instead of the elderly.

In all seriousness, anonymous, never use wild pokémon to solve a domestic issue. Wild pokémon rarely understand house manners. Instead, consider catching one and training it to clean up insects. Just one should be sufficient.

Why can’t psychic types, or at least some of them, eat things that have/had emotions? What would happen?

Psychic abilities tend to be stronger when the psychic in question is in physical contact with a target. Thus, imagine putting your mouth on something, only to hear the last dying scream of a once-living entity.

That’s why psychics generally prefer vegetarian lifestyles. Or at least the ralts line does. Many other psychics tend to have less potent empathic abilities (or aren’t quite as concerned), so eating meat or the like is less of an issue with them.

Sounds like some psychic types need to stop being little bitches.

…on the other hand, those same psychic-types have no qualms about generating miniature black holes in the general vicinity of anyone who calls them “little bitches.”

Hi Bill, zzzrt! I’m a Rotom with an awezzzome trainer, and while we get along juzzzt fine, we have a zzzlight problem. I’m a compulsive shutterbug, and I love pozzezzing camerazzz. I take zzzo many photoz that my Trainer keepz having to zpend lotz of money on ztorage for my habit… and I can’t let him delete any! They’re too preciouzzz! I figure since you know Pokémon zzzo well, you could help me ztop. PS, he doezn’t know I’m posting thiz… yet. Thought I’d zurprize him.

I’m very tempted to ask you several questions, Rotom, but my editor is currently glaring at me via video chat, so I gather that would be a terrible idea.

That having been said, have your trainer purchase a film-based camera. Mini cameras are currently making a comeback, so if you enjoy the feel of something new, that may be an option. Alternatively, older models sell for rather cheap on PokéBay. Ensure that the camera lacks a roll of film, transfer into it, and click away.

Alternatively, if you wish to surprise your trainer, rather than ask for a camera, consider transferring into something else around the house that can move or click, such as a fan, a washer, a remote computer mouse, or any of the like. Use the movement of these objects to relieve your urge to manipulate a camera shutter until you feel comfortable inhabiting a camera without needing to take pictures. The transference of movement should help you by way of being an outlet so that you shift your needs from taking a picture to simply releasing your pent-up energy.

Good luck, little rotom!
