[It's fairly quiet wherever Tucker is, just a couple quiet noises in the background here and there, like animals shifting around.]

Okay, so. Been a while and I got a couple questions now that this whole universe thing is done flipping its shit.

We got this dex thing on our phones, and it's pretty useful. But here's my question. How d'you know when your animals stop changing? Like, is there a line somewhere, because my stuff doesn't register anything new until I run into something new. That make sense? [Tucker literally just poke around on your fucking dex, it's not hard.]

Other question. I've been here a fucking while and got a job and shit, but please tell me there's something like a bank around. It's starting to be a pain in the ass carrying the money around like this, surely a place like this has banks. Someone tell me I'm not crazy. I'll take dumb over crazy at this point.

[There's a quiet moment, then a breath as he gets ready to AND ANOTHER THING, hesitates and decides nah fuck it.]

[ACTION - Goldenrod]

[If you ever wanted to see a groan man strike out so hard so fast, look no further than Tucker trying and failing multiple times to talk the cashier at the nearest pokemart into getting drinks with him. And the nurse at the nearby Center.

Sighing carrying a couple bags of groceries down the street and gives a not-exactly-family-friendly smile to the woman waiting by the bus bench.

He's not exactly batting a thousand when he takes a seat and sighs.] Should've asked what it takes to get a quickie around here.

[Now there is a scene Jimmy Darling knows all too well. From living it. For over a year now. He pauses by the bus stop on his way home and leans against the sign to light up a smoke and commiserate. That guy looks like he could use some commiserating.]

It's like every dame in this place has already got a boyfriend, right?

[And everyone who came in was a guy, a kid, or some other not-single-woman-of-a-dateable-age.]

I think I've asked out all of'em by now. Wanna know how many went out with me?

[So says a girl literally right behind him, hugging a Snubbull who's drooling all over.]

The dex should tell you all of that. The extent of the evolution lines, I mean.

How do you have so much money you can't carry it all...? I don't think I'd ever have that problem-- you gotta buy food and Pokeballs and stuff every day to live, you know. Are you saving up for something? You can give some to me, I'll take money off your hands.

[action but takes place somewhere ELSE and you can't stop me]

[motherfucking_ghosttype]

[So, the fratlancer place is nice. It is. It's also full of eggs and other pokemon, and also Freelancers (!!!) who are also...look, it's kind of weird sometimes, okay?

Tucker's also in Goldenrod. So naturally he has to crash on Tucker's couch. Because Tucker has a couch. All Church has had has been a couple inns, and one of them was fucking haunted. So Tucker's couch is Church's crash pad today. It doesn't look like he's dragged his party with him, but they could just be in their balls for once.]

Okay. [Once Tucker's actually in the door. What, give time to get settled? Please, who do you think you're talking to?] So who the fuck actually carries all their money around with them? I mean, I have to, don't really have a place to put it, but not having a whole lot to my name means I'm not exactly the biggest target to get mugged. Are you carrying around just bags of cash? I will hold one of those bags. I will hold several of those bags for you, and then go out and buy some more beer and some food.

Personally, I find that sifting through the Pokédex can help, even if it's a bit time consuming. But that aside, I've found that you can generally tell a fully evolved Pokémon based on its size.

There are exceptions, of course, but the more a Pokémon evolves, the more they generally lose their cuteness in favor of fangs, claws, spines, extra appendages, narrowed eyes... They tend to exude a certain maturity lost on their prior stages, at least when it comes to appearances.
