[sittinwithyou]

One time I dreamt that Nurse Joy released a press release that announced the Poke Center's new motto:

"This is our vibe: We're the f'n Poke Center. Where else you gonna go?"

[kantocamping]

Stopped by a pokecenter to get my pokemon checked up. Decided to use the showers while I'm there since they've got way more space than the shower in my RV. Slipped and fell on my ass. I'm in my 40s and have back issues so I'm laying there ass naked trying to recover. There's nobody else there so I don't feel bad taking my time. Chansey apparently senses that I'm 'hurt' and runs in. I'm completely nude. Chansey is freaking out. I'm freaking out. Nurse Joy is yelling from outside the door for Chansey to get out of there in between apologizing but Chansey is still worried about me and trying to help me up. I'm trying to have some decency around a pokemon even though they literally don't care about nudity. No towels anywhere in sight. Eventually Chansey leaves after I reassure it that I'm fine. I'm still on the floor with soap in my eyes.

There's no takeaway from this other than to share a horrible horrible horrible experience. I did get some free coupons for the pokemart down the street from Nurse Joy though.

Aloha from the Alola region!

A month and two weeks ago my dad found a limping Jangmo-O while riding his mudsdale and caught it with a towel to bring it to a pokecenter, but now it won't leave us alone! We released it back to where it was when he found it but it comes back every time! (*´-`)

It doesn't try to hurt us but it scrapes itself on our door and house all day and doesn't leave. It's been drinking out of the rain collector and eating from the community garden. The nurse said that if it wanted to hurt us it would have already, but I'm getting worried about how determined it is. It even tried to get in through the pet door and would have if it didn't lock! We don't have any pokemon besides mudsdale ,and she lives at a pasture with other mudsdale, so it can't hurt her thank goodness! We tried contacting the pokecenter and Aether foundation but they both told us either we could catch it or they could take it back again.

I like the little guy and want him to be where he'll be happiest and healthiest but he comes back EVERY TIME! It was scary enough when it followed us home the first time but now I'm worried the little guy won't go back at all!

based on what you've said here, i think this guy was raised by humans and released. it's not an unusual thing with young dragon types. people often raise dragons from the egg thinking it'll make them easier to tame, only to release them when they still turn out to be too much of a handful. i'd hazard a guess that this guy has just gotten to the age to the age where he should be butting heads with other jangmo-o and clanging his scales together.

unfortunately, jangmo-o really need to be raised in a group and live with other jangmo-o to survive in the wild. but this guy thinks that humans are his social group, so he's trying to hang out with humans. he probably doesn't even know where to find other jangmo-o, since they live in areas isolated completely from humans. he's likely going to need to be in captivity for the rest of his life if he's going to have a chance at long-term survival.

in this case, sending him to the aether foundation or giving him to the center to find a home for him will be the best thing for him. he'll be much happier in human care.

So, you wanna play a Pokémon TTRPG

But you don't have the time to manage 1K entries in a book? Well, I'm working on the thing for you! PokéD6.

Now that I've show you my character sheet concept, let me break down some of the things on it. The biggest thing anyone will notice right away is the lack any numbered stats. This system converts existing BSTs (Base Stat Totals) into a 6 point grade. Above, each black diamond (✦) represents one point of that stat's grade. And any pre-existing pokemon can have it's BST quickly converted by simply dividing any given stat's total by 36 and rounding up, to a max of 6! Each grade also has an associated number of dice, which are always equal to the grade itself, and an associated modifier. A stat's modifier is equal to it's grade plus it's IVs. IVs, represented by the hollow diamonds (✧), have also been simplified down into a single dice roll per stat. So, whenever you capture a new pokemon, roll 6d6. Like with stat grades, each diamond represents the IVs value. IVs cap out at 3.

But, you may find yourself asking, what do Stat Dice and Stat Modifiers even do?

Currently, they're for combat! While the attack itself determines how much damage it can do, the pokemon's stats determine if the attack hits, it's minimum damage, how hard they are to hit, and even how much they can reduce the damage! When attacking, say with a Physical Move, the attacking pokemon rolls 1d6 + their ATK Modifiers against the defending pokemon's DEF Modifier + 3. If the attack hits, roll the move's Power and add any bonuses given. Such as Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) or type effectiveness. The defending pokemon rolls their DEF Dice, subtracting their result from the Power roll.

Power has now been converted into d6s, to find a pre-existing move's Power divide it's power by 25 and round up! With the exception of very high damaging moves, most moves deal 1d6 to 6d6 damage.

So a move like Tackle deals 2d6 damage.

I could go on, but for now I want to leave this here and just see what people think! I've enjoyed working on it and am pretty close to being able to do a simple beta of it. So, have a copy of the pdf and lemme know what you think!

EDIT (4/20/24): Yo what if I just suddenly dropped even more rules in this post? Yea? Yea! So here's how trainers work!

Trainers are divided into four Careers; Field Researcher, League Challenger, Contest Coordinator and Pokemon Breeder! These careers determine starting gear, recommend a set of skills (more on those later!!!), and determine how the player can make money. Field Researchers are basically the intern equivalent of a Professor's Aide! They go out, encounter as many new pokemon as possible, and get paid a weekly salary! They can even earn bonuses for finding odd pokemon, such as ones with unusual movesets~! League Challengers are pokemon trainers like in the games! Beat gyms, get badges, take on the champion. Easy as! They get paid based on the trainers they defeat, which can be picked up at a PokeCenter or just given to them immediately. Contest Coordinators focus on training pokemon for Gen 3 style'd Contests! They make money by winning contests, with each rank paying out higher rewards! And lastly, Pokemon Breeders! Like the name says, they make their money by breeding and raising pokemon at the requests of the Pokemon League or other trainers. The more specific the request, the more money they earn for it!

Trainers also have skills! These work a lot like Stat Grades, but they don't have an associated modifier. When making a trainer, a player picks 6 skills out of 12. Players then have 18 points to distribute however they want into those 6 skills, up to a maximum of 5. The other skills are left at 1. The skills available are: Archeology, Cheering, Climbing, Cooking, Fishing, Foraging, Knowledge, Nursing, Riding, Sneaking, Spotting and Swimming!

I'm currently working on reformatting the doc so enjoy the new tidbits for now! See you again when I've finished the doc!

[realpokemon]

With that ask about the Nursing state, the reason they're called nurse Joy is because their all of the same family, the Joy family owns the monopoly on pokecenters and if you want it you have to join their family, like yakuza or some sh*t, and you dont wanna mess with them, there's a reason they have the monopoly on pokecenters, and they aint planning on loosing it any time soon

A Spark of Something New - Chapter 8 (Title Formerly: Bound by Choice)

A/N: Enjoy!

Fandom: Pokemon (Black & White, All Media Types, Legends: Arceus)

Characters: Original Character, Kudari | Emmet, Nobori | Ingo

Rating: Teen Audiences

Summary: Andy has always been afraid of pokemon and what it is that they’re able to do, which makes their life rather hard considering they’re twenty-two, live in Unova, and work in Nimbasa City; which is known as the battle capital of their region. Their closest friend and semi-adopted mother being a former gym battle leader also didn’t tend to help matters.

A panic attack on a subway car they thought was empty, however, leads to them meeting the infamous Subway Bosses and learning that pokemon, while terrifying, weren’t the monsters they had grown up believing them to be. Getting sucked up into the lives of the two Subway Bosses and their best friend Gym Leader Elesa might be even more terrifying than the pokemon, however.

Chapter 8 - Emmet (Without Ingo) Makes A Friend

“I am Emmet. Today has been the worst.” Normally, that was the point Ingo would tell him he was being dramatic. Instead, over his xtrans, Emmet heard a little huff of agreement. It was definitely bad. “How are the Lines?”

“Once again up and running optimally,” Ingo replied swiftly, sounding as exhausted as Emmet felt. “The Drilbur infestation has been soundly and swiftly dealt with and all Drilbur have been caught and transferred to Professor Juniper’s lab for re-release! Time of arrival to the Pokecenter?”

“Almost there,” Emmet said instead of taking the time to calculate how long it would take him at his current walking pace. That involved math. He was too tired for math. He was pretty sure he heard Ingo make a noise that was either sympathetic or frustrated.

“You should have let me go since I’ll be the one using the team next.” Ah. An Ingo lecture. Emmet was good at tuning those out.

“No. My Doubles matches were this morning. It is my responsibility to see that they are healed before their Singles matches.” On a normal day Emmet would have let the healing staff at the station take care of their pokemon, but with the Drilbur infestation there had been a lot of injured pokemon to deal with. It was easier to use his limited time to visit the Pokecenter. “You also skipped breakfast to work early and assist with maintenance. Keep eating.”

Emmet brought up his wrist to glare at the screen, pleased to see that Ingo made a disgruntled scoff before munching bitterly on a forkful of salad. Emmet would have complained more, normally, but that could wait until he was sure Ingo was well-fed and not at risk of derailing himself. He was verrry bad at being selfish, after all. 

“Ah. Entering the center now,” Emmet informed him, stepping into the Nimbasa Pokecenter and looking around to see it wasn’t too busy as he approached the front desk, only one other person there and waiting and the Nurse Joy most likely doing something in the back. It was the off-season for the Gym Challenge, he supposed. Winter would only be a few weeks away, perhaps a month at most. Most Challengers were back at home or had returned to school.

“Please be sure to eat yourself once you return to the station,” Ingo lectured, Emmet nodding along because Emmet, at least, was selfish enough to eat at least a few bites before rushing off to the next task. “A full meal, Emmet, not simply a granola bar!” Damn. His brother knew him too well. 

“I will- Hm.” Emmet paused, staring down at the shiny Joltik that was staring back up at him from the counter. The Joltik gave a few taps to the counter with his claws before throwing off a few sparks, Emmet beaming. “I will call you back.” Hanging up on his brother and not listening to his response, Emmet reached out a finger to gently pet the Joltik’s back. “Hello, Spark.”

Looking back up at the other person on the counter, Emmet was highly amused to see that while it was Andy, they were wearing a lab coat and a tie. Verrry unlike their last few outfits Emmet had seen them in. Curiously, he watched Andy yawn, tilting their head towards their right shoulder before snapping up and looking around frantically. It was delightful to watch them look at Emmet before groaning loudly in what seemed to be disbelief. “Seriously, are you following me? This city is huge!” 

“Mhm. Yup. It is verrry big. This is also the closest Pokecenter to Gear Station.” Emmet grinned as Andy scoffed and rolled his eyes. “I was not aware you worked in a lab.”

“A- Oh.” Andy looked down at their coat, shaking their head. “No. I don’t. They just make us wear these stupid- Hang on.” Nurse Joy had returned, carrying a small box that Andy sighed in relief at seeing. Interesting. “Thank you.”

“Of course! Thank you for bringing our own supplies back,” Nurse Joy laughed, patting at a box that rested on the desk behind the counter. “Was there anything else you needed?”

“No, thank you, that should be all.” Leaving Andy to check over whatever was in the package, which Emmet found himself curious about, he instead focused on Nurse Joy as she turned to him.

“Oh! Hello, Emmet. Healing the team here today?” Ah, the joys of having someone who knew their routines and was already preparing a tray for all the pokeballs.

“Yup!” Emmet set them all in carefully, delighted as always that Nurse Joy didn’t chain him down with small talk and instead went to work at once at healing the team. He did notice Andy’s curious look over to him. “Ingo and I will use the Pokecenter over the healing staff at Gear Station depending on supply level and time. Nurse Joy is verrry familiar with us here!”

“Guess you’re working yourself today seeing as you’re wearing your own white coat,” Andy said, tone making it seem like they were joking. They were very obviously not good at it. “The, uh, place I work for, they were expecting a delivery for some hard copy data, but it got switched with a supply of items for the Pokecenter, so someone needed to come collect it. I’m getting paid no matter what, so at least there’s that, and no one else wanted to go, since we were doing this group bonding morale hour thing after lunch.” Ah… Emmet was seeing the full picture.

Andy was still rambling, making no move to head for the door. They obviously were not fond of forced social obligations. Emmet could relate. It seemed they were looking for an excuse to not go back to work quite yet. Emmet could help with that. First things first, however. “Is it an Andrew or Andrea day?”

Andy, who had set the box back down and had been in the middle of talking, paused, stumbled, and blinked up at him. Emmet almost expected to get huffed at for interrupting, but instead they beamed, hands doing a few light flaps at their side that was wonderfully familiar. “Andrew. It’s an Andrew day.” Mm. They- He didn’t get asked that often, then.

“You were telling me why your work makes you wear lab coats.” Because Emmet was actually a little curious about that. It also seemed like something Andy was happy to rant about. He was very much like Ingo in that way. Once he found something to talk about, he was able to simply talk.

In the time it took Nurse Joy to return Emmet learned that Andy worked in data entry for the National Pokedex after Lenora recommended it, which made the surprise he felt less surprising, and the fact that Andy thought he would be working not in Nimbasa, which made much more sense for someone afraid of pokemon and battling. 

“So,” Andy finished with a sigh, trailing after him with his box once the team had been returned fully healed. “I take it the Station is low on supplies if you’re here?”

“Ah. Drilbur infestation. Ingo needs the team fully healed for the Singles Line so I came here. He wanted to, but he needed to eat lunch.” Emmet paused at Andy’s laugh, bright and sudden. “Hm?”

“Sorry, just- Looks like we’re both using our lunch breaks to get some extra work in.” Lunch break? Hadn’t he said it was some morale hour thing he was avoiding? Andy must have been decent at reading facial expressions, because he gave a shrug. “Morale hour takes place after lunch, so I just got an early start on this and hoped it would take long enough I would miss most of it when I got back.”

Emmet nodded. “Which means you already ate lunch. Good.” Spark had jumped from Andy’s shoulder to the box, chirping in the tone Nugget always used on him when ratting him out to Ingo for not eating. “Ah. You did not eat.”

“I did,” Andy lied, Emmet staring him down. “This morning… Why do you know how to understand Joltiks so well, anyway! Can you just speak to pokemon?”

“No,” Emmet said, laughing in Andy’s face and delighting in the annoyed glare it earned him. So easy to tease. “And all safety checks must be performed!” 

With that Emmet was easily swiping the box from Andy’s hands, turning and marching opposite the way towards Gear Station. Spark, delightfully, remained on the box. “Wha- Hey! Don’t just- Don’t just take my stuff and my pokemon and- Emmet!” 

“There is a food stall this way that provides good, cheap food,” Emmet explained once Andy caught up, the other still grumbling and fussing as Emmet refused to return the box. It was likely Andy would just run in the opposite direction to escape. That’s what Emmet would do. Hm. Maybe he should distract the other with small talk? Ah, how did small talk work again… 

Emmet managed to at least discuss the weather for a minute or two, and even comment on something he had heard Elesa complaining about the previous week. That was enough conversation to get to the stall, and then they were able to talk about what to order. Emmet got his food in a bag to eat once he returned to the station, waiting for Andy to catch up to him as he checked his xtrans. 

“So. You don’t really do small talk, huh?” Ah. So it was noticeable. Emmet made sure to not look away from his xtrans as he answered. Less embarrassing that way.

“There is not much I find interesting. What I am interested in tends to be what others aren’t interested in.” Pokemon battling was one thing, but in-depth discussions on IV and moveset breeding was another.

The two of them were quiet as Emmet skimmed through his messages. Ingo was asking where he was and why he had hung up. He couldn’t exactly text back while holding the box and Spark with one hand, but Andy was finally eating, even if it was a food stall pastry. Emmet had a feeling Andy did not eat while working very often. Maybe-

“You could talk about trains.” Snapped out of his thoughts, Emmet shot his gaze to Andy, who was watching him quietly. “You and your brother like trains, right? I, um, I’d be interested in learning about that a little. I mean, I don’t know much, but, uh, that- That first night? The one we met? You and Ingo were talking about- About bullet trains, right? How they were more popular in Kanto than in Johto?”

Oh. Someone had listened to them. Andy had been coming out of a panic attack. He had been overwhelmed. Scared. Surrounded by two strange men and a pokemon he feared. He had still listened to them. He had even remembered. Emmet wasn’t sure what his expression was, but Andy smiled. “My office building is a couple blocks north of Gear Station, so, uh… I’ll be walking with you a bit, if you don’t mind.” 

That was all Emmet needed before he started talking. It wasn’t as good as it was with Ingo, who could keep up with him and happily engage in the technical details, but Andy was actively listening. He even asked a few questions that let him go more in-depth. He had an opinion on the bullet train versus magnet train debate! It was nice! 

Before he knew it they were at Gear Station, Emmet finally handing the box, and Spark, back over to Andy, who had finished eating. “Thanks,” Andy said, snorting when Spark hopped up to sit back on his shoulder. “Alright, you little traitor.”

“Please remember your safety checks in the future!” Emmet decided to settle on saying, grinning as Andy rolled their eyes. With the coat that looked a size too big and the fact Andy only came up to his shoulder he looked so small. Like a stray pokemon, truly.

“Yeah, yeah.” Andy fell silent, staying in place before looking at him properly. “You know, I don’t have anything that I’m really interested in, not like you and Ingo are with your trains and with battling. So, you know, it’s- It’s nice. I liked hearing about how excited you were about what you love.” Andy lingered a second more before turning to leave, shuffling the box around before giving a little wave. “See you later!”

Emmet waved back, quiet as he followed the familiar path to the Singles Line, boarding about to begin in two minutes and twenty-seven seconds and Ingo waiting near his battling car and scanning the crowd for him. When he made it to his side, Ingo was fussing at once. “There you are. You could have at least answered one of my texts- Ah, you have food!” Ingo paused, staring at him. “You bought actual food?”

“Yup!” Emmet shuffled the bag to his other wrist, handing Ingo the team members he would need for his battles. “Sorry for the delay, I was…” Emmet paused, feeling Ingo’s gaze on him as he stared down at his bag of food before smiling at his brother. “I was speaking with a friend.”

Oh thank Arceus PokeLying is awake! Listen, I have this Goomy. Sweet thing. Very relaxed, Loves just laying in the Sunbeam. I love him. He's been my partner for ages. Didn't want to evolve, so we everstoned.

Anyways, I rescued a Pachirisu from a staravia a year ago and did all the proper recommendations from Nurse Joy. Slow introduction, multiple checkups, everything.

For a few months everything was fine and Pachirisu and Goomy were becoming good friends.

But Pachirisu recently started getting a habit of zapping Goomy to see him jiggle. It's starting to get to the point where Goomy may need to go to the pokecenter for long term electricity exposure. I tried all the training tactics I could but nothing can stop Pachirisu from using Goomster as a stim toy.

Any advice?

The good news is that your Goomster is probably taking things better than a lot of other playpals would, since the entire Goomy family is pretty tolerant of electrical charges in large part because of their physical composition. It's a bit like tazing a car tire. Certainly not going to be entirely pleasant for the tire, and still a long-term concern, but it could easily be a lot worse.

From the sounds of things, as your Pachirisu is getting more comfortable in its new home, it's getting more playful and resorting to more familiar activities to express its happiness and comfort. In the wild, they often zap one another as children as a kind of bonding exercise. Goomy jiggling in response is probably more a curiosity than an overt sign of distress to Pachirisu, since its siblings would more often have startled instead.

A Pachirisu itself is about as resistant to electrical charge as a Goomy, so if your goopy son is able to express discomfort to his new brother, it's likely that the behaviour will dial down over time. You could try encouraging Goomster to be more assertive whenever Pachirisu does something he doesn't like, but be wary that this could result in a souring relationship between the two if either side goes overboard.

Alternatively, you could try to find a toy that Pachirisu can jolt and wiggle without disturbing Goomy. This can be found in a lot of commercial stores or scratch-built. The latter option can be more expensive depending on your area but you can make do with a planted log and a set of painted rubber tires. You can even attach a klaxon to it so Pachirisu gets a reaction when it gets shocked.

A third option is to get Pachirisu some more friends to play with! Either at home or the park or a local community, exposure to other species will both give him options when zapping and a greater understanding of the comforts of different friends. Right now it sounds like Goomy is his only playmate, so more enrichment could go a long way.

( it looks a lot like a Pokemon center. isn't that the machine that nurse joy(s) use to heal pokemon? though the pc is a little out of place. im a little tied between pokemon center and oak's lab. )

"Haha! And Bingo was his name-o! I knew you guys would get it- as I said, you guy's are real smart ain't'ch'all? Hell- one of you even got the exact gen, well done!"

He walks back on screen, clapping, and you easily notice his mask has changed yet again, he seems proud of your victory, but, not too long after he started, he slows back to a stop.

"Thooough- I can't give you full points- No, no, I'm not in glitch city, I only go there when I have to. Nah, This is My Pokecenter."

He pulls the chair back over to himself, hopping into it with ease, and he follows it up by kicking his legs back and gesturing around with his arms. "Well- Technically mine. It is at this point anyways- Nobody comes here anymore. Not many people come to 'ridian now a-days.... 'Specially not here. " He looks around almost.. slightly solemnly? You can't really tell actually

"But really, nuh uh, you wouldn't catch me dead casually hanging in Glitch City, that place smells like rotting, bad B.O and.... practically everything else all at once. It is not pleasant- ugh not to mention how shit feels there- Touch a wall, feels like flesh, touch a different wall feels like a variety of different furs, take your shoes off, fall in quick sand- et cetera et cetera et cetera, complaint complaint complaint. Don't make me go into a tangent about that place. Hell why d'ya think I'm helping god's little reject get outta there?"
