You’re not human if you don’t find Steven Stone attractive.

One could argue that you don’t have to be fully human to find Steven attractive. —LH

Hey! What’s that supposed to mean?! —Bill

You know, contrary to popular rumor, the cell separation system was a complete success. —Bill

…that was not the part I should have objected to, was it? —Bill

I wasn’t implying anything about you, but go on. I’m sure you can fit more of your foot into your own mouth for our readers. —LH

Bill, I don’t want to be the one to ask this, but I lost the coin toss. Why… Why does Nuzleaf have/appear to have nipples. (I assumed that since a) it’s at least partly grass type and b) it hatches from an egg, they’re not… they’re not actually. Y’know.)

Those are wood knots. Perfectly natural. You may even notice that no two nuzleaf wood knots are alike if you lean in and look close enough … which understandably, not many people would want to do. Largely to avoid being on the receiving end of a Bullet Seed.

What’s your opinion on Professor Kukui? I’m not sure if you’d consider someone who gets research grants to play with his dog to be shameful or a genius.

Professor Kukui is absolutely a genius. Why can’t I get research grants to play with a dog?

In case you’ve forgotten, you got one to summon a mythical pokémon with strobe lights. —LH

And another one to “study the behaviors of extinct pokémon through the application of full-scale tactile immersion techniques.” —LH

Then the Pokémon Cutting-Edge Technology Research Center gave you one to “study the calming effects of slowpoke,” which is to say they literally gave you a grant to sleep on the job, and they’re a tech company. —LH

I am thoroughly convinced that if you walked up to anyone and asked for a grant, there is a very good chance that you’d get it. Not that I’m encouraging you to do what Kukui does, as he is also known for encouraging his dog to use him as a punching bag for reasons that I’ve once asked Burnet about but still didn’t fully understand. I mean, yes, Kukui’s methods may be questionable at best, but they actually do produce valuable results concerning the power of pokémon attacks. Sure, your research is valuable too; don’t get me wrong. But the point is, given Kukui’s methods, I don’t think you need the encouragement to use yourself as a test subject (again) as Kukui often does. —LH

Actually, the first one was paid for entirely with my own funds. —Bill

That’s what you object to? —LH

Bill, nobody has an aftertaste when they eat dairy products. Are you allergic?

What? Surely I’m not the only one who notices that strange, cardboard aftertaste whenever they drink milk!

Granted, I haven’t touched dairy since I was very young because I am severely lactose intolerant, but nonetheless, I distinctly remember that it always left an uncomfortable taste in my mouth. That’s half the reason I stopped eating dairy products!

…other than the crippling pain and nausea, but that aside…

Steven isn’t the only person in the world who likes rocks, Bill. Some of us might be a bit more… low-key about it, but let’s just say I’m quite confident that a certain other Champion is rather fond of mineral collecting as well

But of course! Mind you, I never said rock collecting is limited to Steven Stone. That said, though, Red isn’t keeping his rock collection secret; he just doesn’t like talking about it. (Or much of anything, really.)
