[Unfortunately for the current residents of Johto, they might be unfortunate enough to find what might be one of the worst video feeds ever on the network. It seems to cut in and out at first, and even after it manages to stay on for longer than ten seconds, the video is really just... the world spinning endlessly. Ground, leaves, sky, ground, leaves, sky -- Occasionally a tree is visible for half a second and the direction of movement seems to change, but other than that, it's an endless loop of ground-leaves-sky.

It might eventually be obvious that the camera appears to be attached to something that is rolling quickly down a hill. It probably helps that the entire feed is accompanied by the sound of what's clearly a Pokémon "hooting" over and over - rather excitedly, at that - and a voice somewhere in the distance. Pay close enough attention and the words being yelled out are things along the lines of--]

Wait!! Come back!! Just-- Spread your wings and stop rolling already!!

[Does that sound like a new trainer in need of help? That's probably because that's more less exactly what it is.]

Nice to meet you too, Pidge! [This makes you Mabel's friend now. Be prepared, Pidge.] Make sure to catch lots of awesome Pokemon and don't be afraid to act goofy with them okay?

[What?]

Why would I need to act goofy with them..?

[maybeitsmabelline]

So you build up friendship with them, duh!! Some Pokemon only evolve if they have high enough friendship with you so you should just be friends with all of your Pokemon and that means playing with them!

[Pidge is looking so skeptical right now. This girl is talking about friendship like it's just a number. And though reality would be a lot easier for Pidge if that were true, that can't be right.]

O...kaaay...
