Okay, so does albinism happen to run in particular Pokémon species? I thought it might've been a newborn thing, but it's been a while and normal fur hasn't grown in yet for him at all.

[A young, energetic Sneasel clambers his way up the back of York's chair. He's kind of excessively pink.

Someone's got his first shiny is what's happening here.

The Sneasel waves at the camera, then slips back down in an undignified tumble before running off again to play with York's Rotom. York watches him go before shaking his head.]

I ask 'cause I know that can cause eye problems, but he hasn't complained about it and Delta Two hasn't picked up any bad news from him. But he's a Dark type and a baby, so I dunno how much she'd be able to get from him, anyway. Do I need to get him glasses? Keep him out of the sun?

--Also, anyone celebrating Hanukkah this year, hope you had a good one. York out.

Oh, I understand. I've never heard of that before.

[Something to research, then!]

I've never heard of shiny Pokémon having health problems, but I think the nurses can tell you more about that! I think your Sneasel will be just fine though!

[ratherbelocky]

People who've been here longer than I have are all saying it's fine, if not normal. I could ask my buddy North, I guess, since he works at the Pokémon Centers, but I'm not worried anymore.

So how've you been? Feels like I haven't seen you around since, oh, September or so?

[adai]

Ah, yes, I've been busy! There's a place in Lavender Town that takes care of orphaned and abandoned Pokémon and I've been volunteering there. ...When I'm not working at the Pokémon Center, that is.

[rossiu you're a breeder why aren't you doing your actual job]

It's all very rewarding work though. I feel like I'm really making something of myself.

[He seems very pleased, at least.]

[ratherbelocky]

Good to hear, man. It's important to like what you do, take it from me.

[HAHA LITTLE PROJECT FREELANCER JOKES oh my god no one cares.]

You're kinda civic-minded, huh? It's a good thing.

[adai]

I've always wanted to help people. Everyone here was very kind to me when I arrived, so I'd like to do what I can for the people here as well!

[Including the NPCs! They can be a little odd, but they're really nice too!]

...How have you been? Are you still travelling?

[ratherbelocky]

Not at the moment. My squad and I have been in Goldenrod since October, haven't really been in a rush to move out. Won my first badge recently, though.

Carolina was so mad I got to it first.

[He's proud. So proud.]

[adai]

Oh, that's excellent! Congratulations! Was the Gym battle fun?

[Rossiu you've nearly been here for a year, why haven't you tried this]

I've heard a lot of people are really fond of Goldenrod. It's one of the biggest cities, isn't it?

[ratherbelocky]

Yeah, it was! It was a little tough since I had to just power my way through without much strategy, which isn't usually my style. But I'm a flexible dude.

[Come on, Rossiu, what kind of Pokémon Master are you?]

I think it is, yeah. Goldenrod and...Saffron, right, in the other region? Still haven't been there, though I hear there's a train.
