second snap - text/action for goldenrod

[sunnysidewalkstreet]

[ Oh hey, it's a text from Prompto - made pretty quickly after the Silph Co bulletin. ]

I guess you guys saw that thing from Silph? IDK about that but I got one of their prototypes when I arrived. I don't know about all this designer baby thing though, it sounds really cruel. I mean they're alive, not some sort of twisted experiment. Well, they are.

And besides why did they call them something like Type: Null? If they made another Pokemon they could have chosen a super cool name, or even one like Porygon and not an insult to these guys. Anima's a good boy, even if he doesn't like battling - but there's other Pokemon like that.

Aaanyway, if you have any questions about Nulls ask me and not Silph Co.? I think taking some on is a good idea, try and show them what it's like to not be kept by that company?

also where do you get porygon

[ Attached are like... lots of pictures of his Null, Anima, mostly ones of him having fun and playing - even if it's clear that in the sun, the Null seems to be very uncomfortable. And tellingly, there's no shots of the Null in-battle.

Though the day, Prompto is near the Pokemon Center with his Null - keeping the chimera close, trying to keep his nerves down. Why... him? ]

The thing that gets me is...they didn't have a cap on the number of 'Beta Testers' they needed. They're just gonna make them FOR whoever asks for one; 'made to order' they said, right? So they'll make tons of em; you said to 'take some on' and show 'em life outside a lab, but they're being made when people ask for one. If nobody asked for any, they wouldn't make em.

They shouldn't make them either way if they got problems and it means they're gonna suffer or be in pain. Fucking around with nature it a thing but with Pokemon, they're sentient - they can think and feel and understand shit. It's like purebred dogs, where they get super fucked up and deformed because of inbreeding.

[ Prompto will go private as well. ]

yeah, exactly - like, if they even said like 'hey we have one of each type' it'd be
well, not better
but then it wouldn't be as bad
they might have made like ones who are even more hurt under their cute fluff and feathers?

but like, if nobody takes them, they might end up being used by silph. and that'd be worse bcuz if they even make them what might they do? idk but i gotta keep anima away from em from now on

[rambling_runner]

I just don't trust this.

Everyone was quick to call shit on what happened at Prom. But this? This is clearly just business. Otherwise they wouldn't have announced it to everyone like they'd just made a new flavour of Pot Noodles. So if they fly this kind of thing openly, what's going on behind closed doors.

Good call to keep yours away from 'em. So it's clear, I ain't ragging on you or your mon. You're clearly doing your best for him. But this is something bigger.

[sunnysidewalkstreet]

ofc theres no reason to trust it, maybe theyve already got proper non-beta ones behind closed doors or they're gonna deactivate these

i mean the pokedex says, like, the helmet holds back some strength and thats not good.

im gonna try my best to show these guys arent safe there (and treat anima with treats. my boyfriend still cant feed anima too often so its up to me.)

[rambling_runner]

Sounds about right for a megacorp. Fuck these guys.

Once me and my team are strong enough...we can try some shit. But that'll come later. Take care of yourself man. Back home, people like those guys don't let what they think is 'theirs' go easily.
