This old song and dance again, huh, mun? Maybe it's better that I stop questioning the way your mind works half the time.

Either way... I guess I could give this Pokemon thing a try. It can't be that bad, right? [A pause.]

... Please don't let me down this time...

... P-P-Pokemon!? You get to play with Pokemon, Kirino-kun...!?

[You see this? This is the normally off to the side Hayami RIGHT IN YOUR FACE]

D-don't pick your starter b-based off of looks, alright!? A-and...
And you have to tell me what it's like...!

Ahh, I'm really jealous now...!

[doingthemistything]

[aldskjfd HAYAMI...]

My mun picked my starter for me...! She already has a lot of things figured out, too...

[facedesk]

Well... You have to make sure to love all of the ones you catch, okay?

[... And he's backing off a bit.]

I know they're just pixels in a game where we're from, but...
But it's going to be so much different in their world - t-the cartoon romanticizes it too much!

You can't just send the all to the PC and love only one, you have to switch them out and take care of all of them...

[Hi he has ~feelings~ about this if it's not obvious, Kirino.]

[doingthemistything]

I know, I know. [A chuckle.] I'll probably end up far too attached to all of them...

[He pauses.] I'm pretty excited for this... though I wish everyone else was there, too.

[facedesk]

... Mm. I wish I could go with you, Kirino-kun, but my mundane's worried about her only game, and the promises she's made to everyone else...

[A pause, and he fidgets just a bit.]

... You'll let me play with your Pokemon though, right?

[doingthemistything]

Of course! Alto--err, she's going to be my starter, she's a Swablu--will certainly enjoy someone else to play with.

[facedesk]

A Swablu...! A perfect choice for Kirino-kun, I think.
Though, I don't think you're as much of a neat freak as they are, are you?

[... And now he's picturing what Kirino would look like with a Swablu on his head.]

... W-well - I'm sure Alto will be a really good Pokemon for you!

[doingthemistything]

Not quite as much, admittedly. [He smiles.]

Yeah? Well, you're the expert here.

[outsidematters]

Of course it's not bad. In fact I daresay this could very well be the best thing to happen to you!

[doingthemistything]

I'm pretty excited, actually. My mun keeps saying I'll make a good breeder, and I hope she's right...!

[outsidematters]

Do well in whatever you put your heart into, my friend!

Your hypothetical Pokémon will be counting on you.

[doingthemistything]

Right! I'll probably end up giving contests a try, too. They sound like a lot of fun...

[Nope, no gym battling here--!!]

[outsidematters]

[--BROTHER WHO LOOKS LIKE A SISTER!!!]

A WISE CHOICE! It is the best of ALL the professions in our world!!

[doingthemistything]

From what I can gather, it's what I'm most suited for based on all the options my mun suggested.

[And gym battles mean Pokemon potentially getting hurt! ;A;]

[outsidematters]

Most people will tell you battles are the way to go, but those are lies--! Only involve your precious Pokémon in battle in case of self defense!

[doingthemistything]

That's probably what I'll end up doing. I can't really see what'd be so fascinating about battles, anyway. [It sounds like pit fighting if you ask him 8|a]

[outsidematters]

They're supposedly fun, but I just find it... uncouth...
