Hey bill, I was in alola recently and someone made a passing remark along the lines of “wow, rotom dex is amazing, what’s next, a rotom in the PC?” And it got me wondering, could a rotom possess your storage system creating a new form? I think you should try it out zzt

…I’m actually torn between saying absolutely not and being curious enough to do it.

I’m not. You’re not doing that. —LH

You’re right. Something that complicated would probably send a rotom’s mind reeling. —Bill

Yes. Yes, that is exactly why you shouldn’t do that. Not the end user or how many people in the Association would murder you —LH

Yeah uh, my Slowpoke kind of got buried alive a few times. he got better though and now he’s too big for my Espeon to bury him quickly. I am still very, very confused. Bill, bill pls,

I would attach an image of the timestamp for this message, but I think we all know by now that this was sent in June. —LH

Thanks, Lanette. —Bill


When it comes to why your espeon has been doing this, it could have been for any number of reasons, actually. It may have been because your espeon was jealous of another psychic-type (which is a bit more likely, considering the fact that an espeon’s evolution is reliant on the strength of your bond with an eevee). It could have been from a dispute over food, toys, or any number of other things. It could even have been for your slowpoke’s benefit, as the misguided equivalent of “throwing a blanket over your sleeping friend,” as it were.

Or your espeon was simply bored.

Either way, it’s important to pay attention to potential triggers and your pokémon’s mood whenever they do something you can’t quite explain. There’s a reason for everything; you simply need to observe them to understand what that could be.

But in any case, it’s excellent to hear that your espeon has stopped this behavior on its own! Presumably, anyway.

I have a friend who collects Unowns just so that they can spell out memes. His favourite trick at the moment is arranging them into LOSS. He regularly teaches his Unowns memes just so they can do this on the fly. And honestly it’s the funniest thing to see them try to MAN DOOR HAND HOOK CAR DOOR

When you say “LOSS,” do you mean the actual word or no? Because if it’s the latter, I might need to see pics, else it didn’t happen (as the vintage memes go).

Why … why are you encouraging them? —LH
