[The video starts on an unsure-looking Kirlia. He starts to edge away, but Dave--apparently behind the camera--speaks.]

Naw, go ahead, dude. C'mon. Don't be shy.

[The Kirlia sighs, extremely put upon, and then ballet-toes back into place. There's a Dawn Stone on the floor nearby; the Kirlia bends primly at the waist to pick it up, and:

Presto.

Wart the Gallade examines his arm-blades for a moment, then shoots Dave a look as if to say, "If we're quite done now." Dave chuckles quietly.]


Yeah, yeah, thanks for humoring me, bro. The moment has been secured for posterity. Duty discharged. [The relief on the Gallade's face is palpable before Dave turns the camera towards his own movie star mug. Hello, Johto.]

So, hey. I get that baby's first evolution is probably ancient headwear for most of you, but he's the first guy I got all the way to his final form. That's worth some kind of jokey home video.

[Yeah, because he's obviously being ironic about this. He's not Proud Dadding all over his starter, no sirree.]

Anyway, I've been hearing about a bunch of different evolutionary paths our Poképals can take, and, I dunno. I'm curious, I guess. If you ever made a choice like that, what made you pick one way or the other?

She knows the move Explosion. Sometimes it can be useful to get out of somewhere, or to blast away rocks in a cave.

That's awesome! And totally worth sharing with everybody.

[Korra's expression is one of excited awe. She's seen a couple of evolutions over the gears before, but it never fails to impress her.]

Congratulations! I haven't had any of mine evolve yet.

When my own Ralts evolved, I chose to let her evolve naturally. Into Gardevoir, of course. Since then I've acquired a Gallade as well, but Gardevoir I am significantly more familiar with.

As far as different Pokemon go, though...I chose to evolve my Snorunt into Frosslass, for example. A bit of a specific evolution, since only females can evolve into Frosslass. But I still find it more...aesthetically pleasing than Glalie.

[...Glalie kindof freaks him out a little ngl.]

Is there a reason you chose Gallade in particular?

[GOOD, HE'S THE CUTEST POKÉMON!!!]

Oh nooooo, that's so cute!! But yeah, probably not very helpful right now... Maybe in a little while he'll be able to tell you what he'd like!

Hmm...well, Romeo pretty much knew as soon as I asked him which he wanted to evolve into. Holly took a lot longer to decide, but she had a lot more choices as an Eevee. As far as how, I pretty much laid out the options and asked what they felt most comfortable being. There was a bit of strategy talk, but for the most part it was about what made them happy.

Well, I think Iqniq's technically ready, but I haven't gotten around to grabbing the rock he needs.

[Much as she's enjoying training, recently Korra's been a little more focused on her girlfriend and the other woman's quiet distress.]

And he doesn't seem to mind not evolving yet...

Narratively obligated? And what makes you say that?

Oh gosh, yeah! Same here! I don't really have any interest in that badge stuff. I haven't even left Cherrygrove yet!

[...nowi you're an embarrassment]

But I'm always super happy to get to meet a new friend! They're all so cute and wonderful!

Yep, I definitely would! Buuuut I really like it here! I've got a nice job and I wouldn't want to travel without my bestest best friend! He's pretty happy here too!

[they've been here since april]

Not quite yet. I've kinda been holed up in a cozy hotel for the cold months and slacking on my training a little.

My Magikarp's getting close, though!

They turn into *dragons*, they better be big!

I caught her as soon as I found out about them. Totally worth putting in all the work.

Try Pokémonsitting! You get to take care of all kinds of different Pokémon and they'll pay you lots and lots for it!

[...This is probably why Cherrygrove was a good idea, since apparently it's a tourist trap!! This was a surprisingly smart move????]

Ginti and I play a lot of games! He's really good at them and he's got no problems keeping up with me! ...As long as I don't call him in the middle of work. But! I usually don't do that, so!

Sometimes we go to the ocean or the lake, but there are jellyfish in the ocean, so that's kinda... not good. Ohh, and we've got a lot of our own Pokémon to take care of! He's really good at training them too!

[just s-rank him already]

[Dave will hear Nagi give a soft noise of acknowledgement at that.]

I see. Does that mean a Honedge is the next Pokemon you intend to acquire?
