Those are cool.

[you_are_unfit]

I suppose. They are rather annoying to deal with, unless they are battling or in their Pokeballs.

[friendofgon]

If you don't want them, I'll take them.

[you_are_unfit]

They are necessary for the tournment, so no, you may not have them.

[friendofgon]

... you're supposed to make friends with them.

[you_are_unfit]

That requirement was not in the rulebook.

[friendofgon]

They're more loyal to you that way. They might not listen to a trainer they don't respect, but if they care about you they'll push themselves further for you.

[you_are_unfit]

They keep trying to pile on top of me. And lick my face. What does that mean?

[friendofgon]

... I guess you don't have to worry about them liking you.

[you_are_unfit]

Does it? That's an interesting way to show affection.

[friendofgon]

It's the same way dogs or cats show affection.

[you_are_unfit]

I have never interacted with either species before.

[friendofgon]

Licking is their way of cleaning themselves. It helps them keep their fur untangled, for instance, and some animals do it to cool themselves. Helping each other with this is a way to show affection.

.. Are you aware of how unhygienic the mouth is? It's disgusting. That is a gross way to indicate affection.

[friendofgon]

Their mouths aren't nearly as unhygienic as the human mouth. Plus, they don't have soap.

[you_are_unfit]

But they have owners who should own soap.
