This might be an odd question, but how do you decide which Pokémon to catch? Do you catch every one you see, or...?

It's more about a balance than anything else. Basically anything that's not a psychic-type or a normal-type is what you want right now. Though if you see one of those and it's something you really want, don't let me stop you from going after it.

You'll probably see a lot of bug and flying types around where you are. Go ahead and grab them if you want, but those are pretty common so you shouldn't have to feel like you're obligated or anything.

That does make sense... Okay. [ She pauses and glances around, then nods. ] There are a lot of birds flying around...

Oh-- I'm Naminé.

I'm Twilight Sparkle. It's nice to meet you, Namine.

It's nice to meet you, too. Have you... been here long? [ A bit of a silly question, Naminé thinks--Twilight seems to know a lot. ]

About three years. And since you're still back at Cherrygrove I'm guessing you've only been with us a few weeks. Does it still feel a bit overwhelming?

[The sympathy in Twilight's voice comes naturally, and it's very real.]

Three years... Have a lot of people been here that long?

[ Twilight's question receives a nod and a faint, vaguely nervous smile. ] A bit... There's so much to do and see.

Not that many, but some. I think the longest have been here five years, that includes people like Sir Cecil and Riku.

Well, just focus on one thing at a time. For now, at least, if you see a new Pokemon species and you haven't yet decided where you're going with your team, only catch it if you find the Pokemon itself interesting. Catching everything you see will just bog you down.

I know Riku, but... Sir Cecil?

Yes... I was worried about that. I think I have an idea of how to decide now.

An older gentleman I've had the pleasure of speaking with, though not all that recently. Come to think of it I should fix that.

But yes, I'm pleased to hear that.

Friends... are always nice to have.

Ah... You are?

[Video]

[friendyousohard]

Well of course I am! You sounded very confused at first, so I'm glad I was able to help you feel a bit more certain about what you want.

[shatterings]

Oh... That does make sense. Thank you... for all your help.

Not a problem, Namine. Look me up if you have any other questions. Assuming Riku can't answer them anyway.
