"York here. I'm probably busy getting my ass handed to me by adorable woodland creatures, but I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Over and out."

The Fog Badge, right? Just got that one last month. Need any tips?

From:

sneezelikeakitten

Yeah! What type is that gym leader using?

From:

ratherbelocky

Ghost. You deal with any of those before?

From:

sneezelikeakitten

[Silence.

For quite a while.

Then-]

I've dealt with too many.

From:

ratherbelocky

Ooooohhh-kay. There a story there, man, or should I keep my nose out of it?

From:

sneezelikeakitten

My grunkle Stan had a lot of ghost type Pokémon that liked to stare at me and scare me.

From:

ratherbelocky

Ah. I heard some of them feed on that--scaring people, I mean. That's probably why they did it. You just gotta scare 'em right back.

From:

sneezelikeakitten

Sabine was way too huge to be scared of someone like me.

From:

ratherbelocky

You got any Dark types?

From:

sneezelikeakitten

No. Not until my grunkle left, and it's just a Houndour.

From:

ratherbelocky

You'll wanna train that one up, then. For some reason, those do real well against ghosty sorts.

From:

sneezelikeakitten

Or just avoid ghost types. He only gave me one ghost egg, and that's a Duskull. I don't really want to be around it in case it's anything like it's mom.

From:

ratherbelocky

Do Pokémon tend to take after their parents? You'd think they wouldn't, what with getting raised by other people and all.

From:

sneezelikeakitten

My Eevee is exactly like his mom.

From:

ratherbelocky

Iiiiis that a good thing? It sounds like maybe that isn't a good thing.

From:

sneezelikeakitten

His name is Narcissus for a reason.

From:

ratherbelocky

Yikes. I guess sometimes they just come by it honestly. Eevee can evolve into Dark types, though, you know, if you need something with an edge against Morty.

From:

sneezelikeakitten

He decided to become a Glaceon. I bought evolution stones and he just snagged that one...

[Dipper, why are you letting your Pokémon bully you like that?]

From:

ratherbelocky

Oh, those are cool. [York, did you just--] North's evolved into a Sylveon. I woulda pegged her for a future Flareon myself...

From:

sneezelikeakitten

[Oh.My.God. York, no.] That just means he gave her a ton of affection. My sister would wind up with one of those.

From:

ratherbelocky

You think? They've got friendship-based evolutions, too, though, don't they? Umbreon and Espeon, I thought.

From:

sneezelikeakitten

Those are friendship based and time of day based. Sylveon is straight up affection.

From:

ratherbelocky

Huh. Guess I'm not sure where they're drawing that distinction or why, but okay. It's true, though. North spoils the cheese out of his team.

From:

sneezelikeakitten

It's what I came across when trying to figure out why the Eevee line deviates the way it does with those three. Apparently affection and friendship aren't gauged the same. But Sylveon is the only affection evolution Pokémon that they've found so far.

From:

ratherbelocky

Interesting. Well, they do say Eevee's the evolution Pokémon. Makes sense that even subtle changes in condition like between affection and friendship would affect it more strongly than others.
