[The first shot of this video is... leaves. Surprisingly green leaves, for the season. Then the camera switches and there's Royce, sitting in a tree in the middle of winter. He's bundled up at least, but the background behind him is... moving? The smoke from his cigarette traces patterns through the air.]
[Then he points the camera down and it becomes clear that he's on a Torterra, though one that's oddly colored. The camera swings back to him again and he - well, he doesn't quite smile but it's close.]
Fascinating! Absolutely... absolutely fascinating! I had no idea that the tortoise I received would become something so... massive. I think... well, it's not the most... unexpected evolution I've seen, but... well. He's certainly different than what I thought.
I'm... wondering... what's the most... unusual evolution of a Pokemon that you're aware of? It's... it's quite interesting to me, this whole... evolution concept. It seems like there's a good deal of energy that's let off, too much... I wonder...
[Unfortunately he doesn't have the resources to deal with that kind of thing... but still. It's interesting to think about. He gazes off into the distance for a few more moments before he looks down at the Pokegear, startled, and turns it off.]

[There's a long silence - long enough that one would be easily forgiven for thinking that this post was a mistake. Finally, though, a quiet voice speaks up.]
My... home, my world... Cloudbank, that is... was a place of... unimaginable beauty. Or rather, if you could imagine it, it could be made. This place... it's not the same, not the same at all. There's... well, it's big, but it doesn't have the same streets or people or... ease of change.
I don't mind it not changing, not really... but it's different.
The past is... a strange thing, strange indeed. You can't quantify it, you can't... break it down into variables that make any sort of sense. It just... goes. It's there and then it's not, like a leaf carried by the wind, or a cloud.
[There's another silence, but it's shorter. A breath, followed by an inhale and a pause, before he speaks again.]
... Cloudbank's like that, too. Gone, I mean. The physical structure is... still there, probably. You could walk around it... for a while. Until you were wiped out, I mean. Like everyone else... gone to the Country. The 'afterlife', some people might call it, though it's another life. Quiet, from what I hear. Though the Country inside... well. No one's ever been really sure if you get to the Country everyone else is in from that one. Not even me, and I made it.
[A quiet chuckle, before a sigh.]
This post has no point, I suppose. People found others from their worlds here... no one showed up from Cloudbank. Not that I saw, at least. But I did have a... a question. A poll, I guess, though the results don't really mean much. I was wondering how many people have... no home? Not anymore, I mean. Not one they can go back to because of... death, or the imminent threat thereof when they get back.
... And for those of you wondering... dying's not so bad.
[There's a pause, like he's going to say something else, but then the audio just clicks off.]

[Royce is sitting out with his... well, Ampere sure does look bigger. They're a Magneton now, and they're enjoying the light pets they're getting from Royce.]
I suppose a gym victory is a good way to celebrate a birthday. Though I'm not... sure how much a birthday matters at all anymore. It seems somewhat... pointless. ... I suppose there's nothing to be done for it.
In any case, I'm wondering just... how we find this... machine that allows us to use the skill we can use with this badge. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any at all?
[Ampere headbutts into Royce to share their excitement, causing him to drop the Pokegear and shut off the video.]

MY TRAINER DOES NOT LIKE IT WHEN I MAKE NOISES IN THE NIGHT! THESE NOISES ARE SOMEWHAT ENJOYABLE TO MYSELF AND MY BROTHER!
HOW CAN I MAKE MY TRAINER ENJOY THESE NOISES? HE YELLS AT ME WHEN I MAKE THEM! :[

while we're all getting ready for this storm - very curious this sort of thing, not something i've dealt with before. not something that happened in cloudbank. would have caused many problems though fixing them would have been simple i suppose!
in any case, yes! the subject of this post!
from what i have seen and heard many people give their pokemon names. i suppose it makes sense! but i cannot decide on names for mine. nothing seems to fit! i have not named many sentient creatures before. the ones i have i have been told my names are not very creative.
['Jerk' is a totally valid name for a creature, okay.]
i am a programmer and engineer by trade but i do not think those terms are very fitting for my pokemon.
[Red took all of the function names already. He's tempted to name the cat 'Asher' even if the cat is female.]
i have:
- magnemite (neuter)
- sentret (male)
- purrloin (female)
- dratini (female)
- skarmony (female)
- gastly (female)
- bronzor (neuter)
i did not realize how many female pokemon i have until just now. oh well nothing to be done about it nothing at all. i would prefer if they follow some sort of consistent naming theme but if one seems fitting i suppose it can be an anomaly.

[And if anyone wants to speak to the nerd, he's sitting in the Pokemon Center in Violet City with a Magnemite orbiting around him and a Dratini clinging to his leg.]

[A rather high and frail-sounding voice comes across the network. It's male, but it keeps... pausing oddly.]
Begin recording... broadcast? Maybe both...
This... is... Royce Bracket, transmitting via a... strange device. Curious, very curious... this bears no resemblance to... to, well... anything.
I appear to be in small village - no, a town. It appears to have many people, many people indeed... none of them seem to recognize me, or Cloudbank.
[No, he didn't read the guidebook and he wasn't really paying attention to the woman who tried to explain something to him on the way out. There was a machine to play with.]
This device is... small, very small. It seems to have a number of functions, however - the majority of which are... unknown as of now. Further study is necessary.
... End transmission.

[Of course, it's kind of obvious he's a newbie given his location, general dazed appearance (or maybe that's just normal for him), and total obliviousness to the Pokeball in his bag that he's at least managed to put on his back without forgetting it.]

Transistor is still a pretty new canon, having been released May 20th, 2014.
Royce doesn't come up until late in the game, so obviously there's spoiler problems. I will make a reasonable attempt to warn for spoilers via cutting spoilery posts and warning in the comment headers, but please comment here with your name/characters/character journal names if you would like me to avoid spoilers as much as I can for you.
But you should seriously play it.
