People don't actually sleep for 8 hours every night, do they? How do they get anything done???

“Why, that’s actually true! I mean, in hellish timeline, Grovyle and I weren’t immediate friends. No, no! Just because you just met them doesn’t mean that you are friends already! Bonds take time, and this Mega Evolution thing? Seems important, especially for the bonds part!” - Magolor

“Can confirm.” - Grovyle

I'd like to remind everyone that the "mega evolution is insanely painful and you're torturing your Pokémon" thing was a single paper by a Galarian scientist living in Alola who had never even seen a keystone in his life.

Mega evolution IS a strenuous process and one that must be trained for. Just like professional battling, or even some normal evolutions. You wouldn't expect some random skinny guy to be able to deadlift his weight; why the hell would you expect a random Pokémon you just caught to be able to mega evolve hassle free, if at all?? Your Pokémon needs to know how to use its new powers. That's also part of why trust is so important to the process! Your Pokémon has to feel safe!

It's not even that HARD to bond with most Pokémon, you know. Some berries and a dream go a long way. I've seen people who most people would consider a fundamentally bad person safely mega evolve their Pokémon; I'm sure you can handle it if you actually try.

But, you know, "BAD SCARY DEATH TIMES" is a lot more interesting to the media, so they latched onto that one single paper. Putting in hard work and dedication doesn't really get clicks.

If anyone is ACTUALLY curious about mega evolution, I'm happy to answer your questions; and if I can't, the professor probably can.

I highly recommend having a giant terrifying creature that loves you top-tier experience

[pokemonshelterstories]

how do moves like return and frustration work for asocial pokemon? i found out before getting my turtwig that, like most reptilian pokemon, they dont have a concept of love, so while turtwig trusts me to feed him and not hurt him and stuff, he doesnt have a desire for affection and doesnt like me more than anyone or anything else. but the return move is only supposed to be powerful when your pokemon loves its trainer, and my turtwig hits pretty dang hard with his return, so... whats the deal with that?

return and frustration are powered by how comfortable a pokemon is with its trainer. pokemon that are fearful or aggressive towards their trainer will have a strong frustration, while pokemon that like or trust their trainer will have a stronger return.

so, that trust is what's making your turtwig's return so strong! "friendship" is kind of a misleading name for what's really more of a sense of comfort. some pokemon will show that in very obvious ways, and these are typically your more social pokemon. they'll snuggle up to you and beg for attention and show affiliative behaviors. but in pokemon that aren't social by nature, it's going to be more subtle: sleeping around you, letting you touch them, taking food from you, etc. i'd say your turtwig does prefer you to other people, because he sees you as a safe person!

joyous whimsy cancelled I just got accused of being a tradwife

yeah so there's nothing weird about grey town? there's a forest nearby but it's never been called white forest, apparently there were plans for expanding the town into a bigger city a couple decades back that fell through bc money but that wasn't called black city, legit the most interesting thing about it is that some environmental agency has an office or something there

IMPORTANT RAPIDASH PICTURE POLL!!!

which is the superior way to take pictured of a horse-shaped pokemon vote below

option one: 0.5 from the snoot like those houndoom videos

or option 2: 0.5 from the eye (if possible as a video when they're eating

putting max time on this poll because these r important topics to discuss. as a bonus i will make the winning photo my pfp. also no not taking a 0.5 picture is NOT AN OPTION!

justifying your answer (and supporting it with photographic evidence) is heavily encouraged
