I expected ghost Pokemon to be kind of strange.

But I guess psychic types are as well?

[Attached is a picture that Link took from his hotel room in Saffron City, the subject of said image blurry since it was obviously attempting to flee. It's definitely a Drowzee though if the colors and the obvious snout is any indication.]

Do they usually stare in windows at night???

This is the first time I've ever caught one doing it so I'm not sure if it's normal...

I have a Rotom.

But Purah likes to stay in my Pokedex...I can't get her to do anything else.

Oh dear.

[Double yikes.]

Drowzee are known for eating dreams. Unlike ghosts they don't make you have bad dreams for fun, but they take a lot of pleasure and nourishment in eating very good dreams. That one may be following you because it wants to do that.

Let me see...how about Bug types? Do you have any Bug types?

Wait it eats dreams??? HOW.

Yes. I have Worm and Greens. They're both bugs. A Dustox and a Sewaddle.

It's psychic? ┐(‘～` )┌ Where I'm from there's a creature that looks and acts in a similar way called a "Baku." I think Drowzee might be related.

Hopefully they should be able to keep that Drowzee from causing you any mischief. Although I suppose having your dreams eaten isn't that bad, it's still a creepy thought.

Does that mean my Carbink can do that? Will do that...I don't know if I want anything eating my dreams.

[He was going to be having a chat with said Carbink.]

Okay. I'll make sure to keep them with me at night.

[styxiedust]

Carbink? No, I don't think so, if a Pokemon can't learn "Dream Eater" or "Hypnosis" it can't do those things. Surely your own Pokemon would ask for permission before doing something like that as well?

[M-maybe.]

Very specifically it's the Munna and Drowzee line that are known for eating dreams, some ghosts have reputation for causing nightmares.

[timelesschampion]

Gem probably would but I just wanted to make sure. I'll have to read more about it.

I'll make sure to stay away from those then...

[styxiedust]

They're not all bad, though yes, generally it's a good idea to stay away from something that wants to eat your dreams. Some people use Munna to keep nightmares away since they're less...how do I want to put this? Scary looking? Than Drowzee and Hypno are.

(Hypno is what Drowzee evolves into, by the way. It has a reputation for leading children away.)

That's a Munna. I had one once, they're usually sweet though mine was a little grumpy.

[timelesschampion]

Leading children away.

And I thought my world had strange creatures that did terrible things...

I guess that isn't so scary looking. Having something to help ease nightmares would be nice, too..

[styxiedust]

You think that's something, the creature that I suspect it's related to was actually a benevolent one in my world. Apparently the kidnapping habit is exclusive to the Pokemon version.

[Pokemon are weird.]

I've noticed that's a common desire among people here. If you're ever especially bothered by your own nightmares, I would recommend having a Munna for that.

[timelesschampion]

..Sometimes I really worry about Pokemon.

I'll have to keep an eye out for one; see if I find one that wants to join our team.

Thank you for the suggestion! It would definitely be nice to have.
