[The video opens with a young man in green standing with New Bark Town in the background. There's a Spiritomb next to him, as evidenced by the top of its head poking into view.]

Aha. There we are. Now, I'm to assume I've been... pulled into the world of Pokemon?

[He knows what they are at least. He's not blind to pop culture, after all.]

Interesting. Though I hope they don't expect me to go after all of the badges. I don't exactly have any interest in that sort of thing. And this creature... well, he looks handy but I don't expect him to be a powerhouse.

[The Spiritomb puffs up a bit. Hey!]

... Insubstantial creatures usually aren't. In any case, I'm wondering what my options are. If anyone more... experienced here has any suggestions, feel free to make them.

[He clicks the video off.]

[And for those in the area of New Bark Town, Naoya is wandering around with his Spiritomb following him. The two of them don't seem to be talking, and he's not pausing to look every few seconds like a tourist, but just by the area he's in he's pretty clearly new.]

I wasn't referring to battling them.

[crouching_sin]

I meant personality-wise.

[...think you're real funny, don't you.]

I prefer Psychic types, if it is all the same to you.

[crouching_sin]

[He does, actually.]

Interesting. From what I remember, they're somewhat... tricky to use correctly.

[unkinder]

They can be, if you don't know what you are doing.

[text]

[crouching_sin]

And you do, I assume?

[text]

[unkinder]

Of course.

[He doesn't have sixteen of them for show, after all.]

[crouching_sin]

Do most people specialize?

[text]

[unkinder]

A lot do. I wouldn't go so far as to say most. That's up to personal preference.

[crouching_sin]

Interesting. I suppose I'll just see if I end up doing that. Though I imagine it would be a problem if someone showed up with something that your team was weak against.

Pokemon of different types can learn a wide array of moves of types not their own. It is simply a matter of knowing which ones you need to compensate for.

[text]

[crouching_sin]

True, but sometimes you need to know when an elemental disadvantage will simply destroy you.

[unkinder]

I hope you realize I don't train Psychics exclusively. I have many, but I also have many other types.

[text]

[crouching_sin]

Well, good. At least you're intelligent.

[unkinder]

Mmhm...

I will leave you to your traveling, then.
