Hi Bill! I recently found out that my umbreon is pregnant, and I thought you would be able to give me advice on what I should do to prepare for the babies?

PUPPY-PROOF. EVERYTHING.

It doesn’t matter if you think, “Oh, there couldn’t possibly be a way for an eevee puppy to get in there.” No. No, anonymous. You absolutely must puppy-proof everything. Put locks on the cabinets where you store your household chemicals (and be sure that it’s a cabinet well above floor level). Invest in gates. Invest in gates for the gates. Cover your wall sockets. Secure your valuables and fragile items. Consider bolting your furniture to the floor while you’re at it. Place your wires well out of reach and cover them with repel. And if you happen to have any important papers that you don’t want to see ripped to shreds, lock them away. Eevee puppies are extremely curious and tenacious. They will cause mischief if they can find a way to do so.

Other than that, simply ensure that the mother has a safe, secure place to lay her egg(s), as well as plenty of food and water, and perhaps watch videos on how to assist in delivering and caring for eggs. (Or perhaps don’t do the latter, as the mother may become territorial while her egg is incubating, and in any case, most mother pokémon will know how best to care for their young. Umbreon especially are prone to biting if you get too close to either her eggs or newborn pups.)

Best of luck!

Bill are you okay? You have some Eevee stories to tell us?

Far, far too many, my dear reader.

There was, for example, that one time when an eevee puppy nearly caused the entire storage system for Kanto and Johto to crash. (Then I developed a failsafe system, so no, readers, your pokémon are still safe.)

Then there were the thirty-six separate instances of eevee puppies nearly getting electrocuted or poisoned, despite the fact that I had locked what had once been my household chemical cupboards and hidden my wires.

Then I discovered the fact that “pokémon-proof food bins” are not actually eevee puppy proof (although to be fair, my kadabra and clefairy helped in that case).

And finally, there was that time when an eevee puppy triggered a rather unfortunate series of events that culminated in what many of you know as the Clefairy Incident.

So yes. Puppy-proof everything.

my flygon and i were traveling around through the sky and we came to a little village to relax and regroup as we hadnt found any pokemon centers for a while. Well, this village had never seen a pokeball before… nor a flygon but thats a different story. they were mystified that i had 6 pokemon with me, and even more so by the device that kept them carryable at my side. are villages like this common?

They’re not exactly common, but they’re not unheard of, either. This world is a vast place, and while humans have been fairly ambitious in the past, in recent years, one could say we’ve done an excellent job at not colonizing every strip of land we’ve ever come across. That is to say, these sorts of villages do indeed exist in the plural, in the most remote parts of the world. These are places such as the Amazon rainforest or some parts of the Orange Islands that are typically too difficult for a person to reach, even with the assistance of a pokémon.

That is to say, it’s rather impressive that you’ve found these people, anonymous.

Actually bill, there’s an entire region of these people, known as Ransei. As far as I know, they remain undisturbed, and the industrial revolution, for some reason, is only restricted to a single part of the region. Very odd indeed.

Ransei is actually one of the ancient regions of Japan. It hasn’t existed for a number of centuries now, since its borders were redrawn during one of the last imperial ages. The inhabitants of its modern-day counterparts actually do have plenty of access to pokémon centers and poké balls, and some of the former are actually among the most advanced in the world.

To be fair, though, Ransei texts and histories have become rather popular as of late in Unova, and I’m told it’s led to some … rather unfortunate misconceptions about how we live today. (For starters, no, not many of us walk about in kimono, nor do many of us actually own samurai swords … not that a number of us belonged to the right class to own one. But that’s all a different story.)

{Edit: Post edits brought to you by … the mun finding the Ransei post, haha. It’s here, for those curious about the world of this blog. Really need to do a full write up. http://bills-pokedex.tumblr.com/post/149066503306/hey-bill-ive-been-doing-a-lot-of-reading-on-the#notes }

better yet, make a extra pair of mechanical arms. im sure it would probably end with less disaster than the teleporter.

LH: Please don’t give Bill ideas. He’s read enough Spinarakman comics to know about “Doc Octillery,” but he hasn’t read enough, apparently, to know why emulating this character is a terrible idea.

The only reason why I know anything about this is because I’ve just had to destroy preliminary blueprints and several pages of rough essays on the plausibility of comic book science.

On the positive side, Lanette is now a little more open to my ideas concerning recreating the Steel Man suit. —Bill

Why can’t you just settle for recreating Captain Unova’s shield like most comic book fans? —LH

Wait. Captain Unova’s shield is bulletproof. Don’t make that. —LH

Too late! —Bill

Hey, mod. im glad you made the goku reference as well omg. im glad im not the only one who thought so.

{With that hair and that overall design, I’m perplexed that the tag isn’t just straight-up filled with Dragonball Z references. The dude is clearly going super saiyan 24/7, lbr}

@ the anon whose nidorino wants an ear piercing: you could try getting him some of those temporary stick-on earrings designed for kids! you can get a big sheet of them for pretty cheap. since nidorino have dry, smooth skin, they should stick pretty well. alternatively, nidorino have thin enough ears that clip-on earrings are an option! they cost a bit more and he might find them uncomfortable, but you could test it out and see what he thinks!

Posting, as these are excellent suggestions as well. Thank you!

….Giratina as the god of time?? I think you meant to put Dialga there.

{Please note that if you would like to correct anything the characters of this askblog say, we would appreciate it if you did so tactfully. The mun is currently extremely tired and still working through a backlog during the holidays. So saying, “Hey, sorry, did you mean _____” is cool; making fun of the error … not so much.

Thank you.}

It…looks like they did what you said was cool, so I don’t get the post here.

{Please also don’t do this.}
