[As the gear crackles to life you can see there is a tired looking woman sitting on a stump. She appears to be taking a break on one of the routes.]

Yes, this appears to be broadcasting after all. Very well. Let us try this, little one.

[There is a floating Solosis who floats into view who is probably the one she was speaking to before she looks at the screen. When she speaks it is with a thick German accent.]

I am Dr. Brigid Tenenbaum, I was told to try this device to perhaps get more answers then I have received from the locals in the strange town I woke up in yesterday.

If there is a way back home, I would very much like to know it. I was in the middle of a very important project before I was taken here and I am needing to return to it soon.

However, if such a thing is unknown then if anyone has information on what this world uses pokemon breeders for I would be most grateful. It appears I am one and while I suppose my studies of genetics may be helpful with such things, I refuse to do this work unless I know what the results may be used for.

Thank you.

Not exactly? Each Pokemon has a type, either one or two, that tends to correspond to what they can do. Fire, water, ground, rock, psychic, ghost, electric, grass, bug, ice, fighting, poison, flying, dragon, dark, steel, fairy, and the weirdest one "normal". Those are the types we know of, anyway.

Like growlithe is just a fire type while houndour is dark and fire. That sort of thing. Some even seem to change or gain another typing when they evolve, it's all rather strange.

Normal is a type?

[You're right that's weird.]

Did the people naming them run out of ideas?

Evidently so, usually it's used in combination with another type. But sometimes you just... have normal types.

[She's switching the camera for a bit around her nonsense, first showing a noctowl who's kind of sleeping right now.]

Like he's normal and flying, [then to a female pyroar] she's fire and normal, [and then to a herdier that's stretched out on the floor] and he's just straight-up a normal type.

I don't think they knew what to call them other than just to shrug and go "normal, sure".

That is still a strange term to use. It makes it sound like the others are all deviations from this grouping.

Your guess is as good as mine, I haven't looked into it all that deeply. As I've had other matters to take care of, though if you're interested, Goldenrod is probably the better place to find information on this stuff.

Since Silph Co probably has some information, or at least be able to point you in the direction of someone who does.

I have heard of them. They are the ones creating artificial pokemon.

Do you know anything about them? The company, I mean.
