So is this like Reddit, or more like Facebook? Can I change my username? Kind of weird it didn’t ask me to set up a password. What if someone steals someone else’s earpieces? Would they be able to post with their account? What if I want to make a second account for… you know. Sideblog reasons?

Excessive amount of grenades?

[oblige]

Is your world embroiled in grenade-based warfare?

[taxevasion]

Depends on the day, I guess?

[oblige]

I mean no offense by this: was your world all right?

[taxevasion]

LOL no.

[oblige]

That explains much, but I am sorry it is the case.

[taxevasion]

Don't get me wrong. I love my world. It has my favorite people on it, and also all the Pokemon games, which I'm noticing are not here, and the newest one was supposed to JUST come out.

But it's not all right at all. It's sick, full of corruption, and environmentally damaged beyond repair.

[oblige]

What is a Pokemon game, exactly?

[ Why is it so important...? ]

My world is far from perfect, yet it remains my home, so I believe I understand the sentiment, the mystery of Pokemon notwithstanding.

[taxevasion]

You're not from Earth, are you? You're an alien.

[There is nowhere on Earth that doesn't know Pokemon at this point. Except maybe those small islands isolated from all of society, but this guy writes like Shakespeare, so that's not it.]

Like, that's cool and fine, as long as you aren't one of the bad ones. Which you aren't. Right?

[oblige]

I hail from Valisthea.

You believe there are "bad ones" here?

[taxevasion]

Yeeaaaaah that's an alien world.

Don't know yet. That's why I'm asking. Are you one of them?

[oblige]

From my perspective, Earth is.

I believe your world deserves to live just as mine does. Perhaps that might answer your question.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

[taxevasion]

You pass. So anyway, Pokemon is a video game where there's a fantasy world where animals have superpowers. You catch them and raise them in the game, and then they can fight against other people's Pokemon. They like to fight, so it's not animal cruelty.

[oblige]

I understand. Certain species of dragon also enjoy a sporting fight.

And you stated there were multiple such games? How do they differ?

[taxevasion]

Your world has real dragons?

They usually do colors, but this one is a little different because it's one of the "Legends" games. The first ones were Blue and Red, if you're in America, and then they did Yellow, then Silver and Gold- you get the idea. But Legends games, along with a few of the spinoff ones, don't follow the color pattern. Also there was that time they did X and Y, so it's really less about colors and more about duality? But then Scarlet and Violet really makes no sense, because they aren't even complimentary colors.

[oblige]

It does, yes. Domesticating them is a common practice in my homeland, and greater drakes are considered sacred, for their assocation with our patron goddess.

So these games are generally paired. To what end are there two?

[taxevasion]

Wow. How To Train Your Dragon is real but Pokemon isn't? That's not fair.

Capitalism.

[oblige]

Books on the subject do exist, though I've not seen that exact title. We haven't the technology Earth does, so there are numerous innovations we simply do not have.

So the only difference is superficial, for financial gain?

[taxevasion]

I'd trade all our future devices for real dragons.

There's slightly different Pokemon in each version, so if you want to complete the collection, you either need both games or to trade with people who do.

[oblige]

I am terribly biased, but I am quite fond of them.

[ Being as he is from dragoboo country, and has a certain Bahamut-shaped affinity for them, no surprises. ]

This seems a peculiar manipulation to leverage against those who take interest in collecting.

[taxevasion]

Well yeah. They're dragons. Who doesn't like them?

Like I said: capitalism.

[oblige]

It seems some worlds have abominable dragons, alas.

And how do you feel about these games, such as they are?

[taxevasion]

And some worlds, like mine, have mosquitos, and they're way worse.

Oh, I love them. I buy all of them.

[oblige]

Are we speaking of the small, blood-leeching insects?

Despite knowing of the manipulation?
