Returned!

[shine_on_armor]

 Okay, mun, I guess I should thank you for the new icons. But I'm still kind of ticked that you tossed me aside just for that masked human's joke account.

It's okay, though. I don't really hold grudges. I'm glad you're looking forward to Season 3. It looks like your fears of me and Cadence not showing up again turned out to be unfounded, huh? Well, just don't let that excitement die down; I think it's finally time you put me in a game.

That Route 29 thing seems interesting. Maybe you could give it a try! Twily's there, right? It'll be good to see her, even if we will be humans.

Meh. Let's just get started on the application for now, mun.

[shine_on_armor]

Would I joke about this?

The only problem is my mun seems kind of confused about the application.

[friendyousohard]

Well I sure hope not.

What's the confusion? Any particular section giving him trouble?

[shine_on_armor]

No, he's trying to get into it. The Battles section is what's mostly getting to him, but he'll be able to figure it out later.

Anyway, I'm just wondering what kind of Poke-Man I'm going to get.

[friendyousohard]

How about a Feebas?

[She teases, of course.]

Well, we can make some guesses, depending on whether or not you think your mun will try to pick one that actually fits you, or go for the joke route. I ended up with a Dratini, because of Spike.

[shine_on_armor]

What kind of Pokémon would suit me? My mun was thinking of something called a 'Karrablast', but he changed his mind.

[friendyousohard]

Probably something defensive based, and as far as typing goes... either a Steel-type, a Fighting-type, or a Psychic-type, I would say.

Or a Rock-type, to match the ones in your head.

[shine_on_armor]

Well, at least I have something in my head.

[He smiles jokingly and nudges his little sister.]

[friendyousohard]

That's looking on the bright side.

[She grins and nudges him back.]

But seriously, something with a defensive, protective nature would be right up your alley, Mister Knight.

[shine_on_armor]

I figure. My mun's decided on some little buggy thing called... Aaron, I think.

[friendyousohard]

Oh, that's perfect! It's a Steel-type, and it evolves into a giant metal dinosaur!

[Clearly this is a wonderful thing in and of itself.]

[shine_on_armor]

Whoa!

Do all Pokemon do that?

[friendyousohard]

Well, most of them evolve, but not usually into dinosaurs. My first one evolved into a dragon that's a lot bigger than Spike, but nowhere near as big as, say, the one we met on top of that one mountain that Fluttershy had to stare down.

[shine_on_armor]

If they don't all turn into dragons or dinosaurs, what's the point?

[friendyousohard]

Just because they aren't dragons or dinosaurs doesn't mean they aren't impressive, Shining. You should see my Kadabra. He's basically a psychic anteater.

[shine_on_armor]

Kadabra? That's a nice nickname.

[friendyousohard]

Actually, that's the name of his species. Abra evolves into Kadabra which evolves into Alakazam.

... I'm not kidding.

[shine_on_armor]

But... those are pony names.

[friendyousohard]

... I've never met anypony with any of those names. Where have you?

[shine_on_armor]

[Shining raises an eyebrow, surprises his sister's never heard of these common names.]

Seriously? I went to high school with at least three Kadabras.
