[VIDEO] 'What's in a Name?'

[seacub]

[The boy on camera seems about the age most Kanto-Johto trainers would set out at under 'normal' circumstance. The way he has a Dratini coiled around his shoulders, among the others (specifically there is a very particular luxio aggressively grooming the boy's hat- it's a miracle the back hasn't just frayed off)...says otherwise.

Not to mention the Cubs hat. That said. Grimacing aside-] --ut it out, okay? I'm trying to focus on the camer-

...Ah, it's running...

Uhh. ...Hi? I've never done this kind of call before, and...definitely not to a lot of people at once, but it looks like it's the best way to meet others like me here? Or I guess just...others who were brought here?

I guess if I'm going to 'break the ice', I have to ask a simple question right? ...How does everyone pick names for pokemon then? I uh...I never had pets at home! ...I didn't really think I ever would...but suddenly I have loads of them, and they all need names...

[It's maybe a bit obvious that he doesn't know what to say through this.]

Comments

[notyourgoddess]

Probably not all of them. I've heard the Eden's are supposed to be nice. But I've only ever been to two plants and both were pretty bad.

Pandora is probably the most dangerous planet though. That's the reputation it has at least.

[seacub]

I guess it's aptly named then? 'Pandora' was supposed to be the box full of everything bad in the world in greek mythology apparently- but 'Eden' was supposed to be a paradise, so...

[notyourgoddess]

Yeah I've heard that story. I think it was named before everything went to hell though, so it might just be a coincidence.

And I've never been to any of the Eden's myself so I couldn't tell you for sure if they're are great as people say.

[seacub]

Oh- I guess it makes sense that the planet wouldn't have always been that way then...

Maybe someone who came from 'Eden' will appear here one day?

[notyourgoddess]

Maybe. I'd rather have some more of my friends show up here. But then I suppose I'm biased.

[More vault hunters in pokemon world please.]

[seacub]

No, that makes sense. I think...even though I haven't been here really long, it'd be pretty nice to see mine here too.

[notyourgoddess]

I'd be nice if we got to choose.

So, what kind of place are you from?

[seacub]

[ah,

If there's one thing Emporio is definitely aware of, it's that his experiences are not exactly the kind of thing you broadcast. They're not exactly typical circumstances, not even in the way Pandora circumstances seem not to be. Pandora is a whole planet.

He is....One Person-] I think most of the world was peaceful, [he eventually says.] There was a lot of fighting around me, but I think that was pretty localized. At the very least...most people didn't have to deal with someone who wanted their friends dead I think...

[he's definitely not going to just say he grew up in jail, nope]

[notyourgoddess]

[Aw, Emporio. Maya would not be judging about that.]

From what I've heard the constantly avoiding people trying to kill you isn't a normal thing for most worlds.

Still, as much as there is "technically" fighting here. It's pretty tame. Just between pokemon.

[seacub]

That's good to hear at least... [And noted, for that matter.]

Oh yeah, I noticed that- they don't fight that hard either. Most of them just run away, or...just stop, I guess. [And just sort of sit there hissing.]

[notyourgoddess]

Yeah. The must enjoy fighting because it should be a lot easier to ignore people walking down well worn paths instead of jumping out to fight them.

[seacub]

Yeah- some of mine tend to seek them out for themselves too, so it's definitely something they want instead of something they get forced into...

Which is a relief, I guess.
