I bet everybody's heard the news by now, huh? I can't believe we can actually get our own gyms! Well, after you got all the badges and get through victory road, anyway.

...aaand I still got some I'm missin'.

[Jimmy laughs and rubs the back of his neck, shaking his head a little.]

It's hard not to get distracted when there's so much going on, I guess! Good news is that I only got two more left to get here around town, and I kinda was wantin' to get back on the road again anyway!

So! Me n' my team are gonna go to Cianwood first! I've kinda been really wantin' to try those warp pads out, so it's prolly not gonna be all that long of a trip or anything...but if anybody wants to come or if I could meet up with somebody somewhere, that'd be swell! It's more fun travelin' with a group, yaknow?

[Though he can a bit more easily than he used to...he still likes being around folks.]

Oh! One more thing!

Tooons of new people have been showin' up lately, and I haven't even been able to say hi to everyone! So: hi! My name is Jimmy Two-Shoes! It's awesmazing to meet all you guys, and I hope we can be great friends!

[There's a chorus of Pokemon noises from behind Jimmy (he looks to be in a Pokemon Center) of agreement before he turns off the feed.]

Ha! About time, huh? Been waiting at least four years for this to happen. Be glad you don't have all the badges yet, 'cause after I ran out of gyms to fight, that was one less challenge to deal with.

[He chuckles, shaking his head.]

Think Sora's still got a buttload of badges to catch up on, so who knows? Maye we'll bump into each other on the way. The warp pads do seem like they'd make thigns easier.

Yeah, I get it. The warp pads are convenient, but then you miss out on the adventure. And if there's still stuff you haven't seen, it's a good chance to get out there and experience it for yourself.

Kinda wish I hadn't seen so much of Kanto, honestly, but six years gives you way too much time to burn. You guys are lucky you get to deal with the league while the place is still pretty fresh.

That's pretty common, though. Plenty of people just settle in Goldenrod, and they're perfectly happy that way.

Me... Well, I'm just not good with sitting still. If I don't have some kind of goal to work towards, I go nuts.
islandshore: (amused)

I mean, Training Center's nice and all, but an actual gym would be pretty sweet.

But that means having to figure out a theme. A gimmick. I wouldn't go monotype, but it's like there's some secret mandate that every gym have a random puzzle.
islandshore: (Wow you're dense)

Hmm... So mixed types, huh? That could work. I'd just need a way to keep it challenging without making things tedious.

[...]

Trust me, nothing's worse than having to hunt through trash cans just to progress.
islandshore: (Wow you're dense)

[personal profile] islandshore 2016-07-20 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Switches.

[And it's here that he lets out a low groan.]

To get to Lt. Surge, you gotta activate two switches in the trash, and if you mess up, the cans rearrange themselves.

Well, he's some uptight, drill sergeant guy. Maybe it's a military thing.

[Shrugging, he soon adds--]

But I wouldn't know. We didn't really have armies back home.
