-002- [Text] [Action for Violet City]

[me_first]

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.]

i suppose. i can probably think of... something from those.

The Magnemite is probably still going to be tricky, and maybe the Gastly too, but if your constellations are anything like mine the others should be covered.

[me_first]

we might. i'll have to see.

she seems to be very picky.

[text]

[captainash]

You might end up using whatever name you choose for years, and she'll have to answer to it. A little pickiness is to be expected.

[text]

[me_first]

that's true. i think she's just picky in general.

[text]

[captainash]

That must make meal planning interesting. Does she at least make her preferences clear?

[text]

[me_first]

in general! i think she just likes irritating me.

[text]

[captainash]

Some Pokémon are like that, sadly. But at least they're a step up from Pokémon that just like to harm you.

[text]

[me_first]

she's been mostly harmless. a few instances of making me trip, but that's not quite so bad.

[text]

[captainash]

So, no making you trip while you're right next to a ledge, then?

[text]

[me_first]

not as of yet!

[text]

[captainash]

That's an excellent start, but I'd suggest crossing your fingers for a 'not ever'.

i know better than to push my luck with cats.

[text]

[captainash]

Ah, true. Asking for too much from them will only leave you disappointed.

[text]

[me_first]

disappointed and with shredded paperwork.

[text]

[captainash]

Some would say that's a plus, at least compared to shredded skin.

[text]

[me_first]

i'd take injury over inefficiency.

[text]

[captainash]

That must make you popular with both employers and hospitals.

[text]

[me_first]

i know how to patch myself up. and i never had cats around much, unless grant brought asher along on a visit.

[text]

[captainash]

That might change here, though, if you want. Or if the egg fairy decides that you need more cats in your life.

[text]

[me_first]

i'll pass.

i had a dog when i was younger. i'd prefer those. they at least listen. sometimes.

[text]

[captainash]

If it's dogs you want, I'd suggest getting a Houndour. You wouldn't think a hellhound could be so well-behaved.

[text]

[me_first]

sounds like a plan! though i believe red and i are making some sort of effort to not overlap our teams so i'll have to get it before she does!

They usually have a few at the Breeding Centre. Grab one while you can, certain species tend to get sold quickly.

[me_first]

what other species do?
