[Quite frankly, Botan is way too embarrassed to show her face for the post. She tries typing something long, then something medium, then all that comes out for a moment is:]

HELP.

[>deleted message]

Sorry, Botan here--what I meant to write was I need some help.

Er.

Not quite sure how to phrase this, though. I have one breeder-specific question and one general question.

Do we have a Breeders Union? For trading around and borrowing Pokemon and such. If not, we should, I know there's a lot more of us around than before.

And in general, anybody out there interested in looking at some Pokemon up for adoption? I've been trying to hang onto these for my friends for [...] a bit, but I can't quite handle it anymore. I don't have the space and I don't do much traveling or battling, so I'm not serving them well enough as a trainer.

[FILE ATTCH: pokemom.txt]

Don't mind their levels, I really couldn't care less if you're some master trainer or not, as long as you're ready and willing to care for a displaced Pokemon.

That's all, thanks

A while ago after the Goldenrod breeding center shut down, I did offer to keep a registry of breeders and types of Pokemon they usually breed. Er, it didn't quite work out since not everyone is particularly mindful of their stock.

[That is, they were mostly kids, and asking something like "what's your specialty?" isn't a real categorical question.

(Also Botan getting her own Ditto was an accident and by Arceus does she regret it.)]

I'd be fine with keeping a lexicon and running a phone line of breeders, have a big old document of Pokemon types anyone can edit to reflect changes in their team maybe?

That seems like a reasonable place to begin. Centralizing the information is the key first step, just so we know what we're dealing with.

[Because he'll be part of organizing this. Obviously. He's one of the more active breeders and even if he wasn't, Stanford Pines is incapable of not just sort of inserting himself into other peoples' plans. They're relevant to him, therefore his input is welcome. That's how that works.]

I do like the idea of a single document everyone can easily reference. Something 'gear based, because keeping a paper pamphlet up to date would be a nightmare.

[Oh of course, she wouldn't want to proceed without him anyway considering he's one of The Reasons.]

We might need to provide some tutorials or extra help to others, though. I'm fine with it now despite the time that I left my world, I've been here for a while, but some people might be from even earlier than 1995.

[Ah--Botan claps her hands lightly.] Miss Isley suggested a breeder-specific forum as well, for communicating with one another and negotiating trades and egg swaps.
