"It... makes sense but it does sound like it would've been a little lonely."

No animals at all. Nothing to watch as you idle in the grass. What an empty and sterile world that would be.

"Must have been a lot to adapt to when you first came here."

[sleepallthewayhome]

"I guess if you were used to animals. But I was born in the colony so that was normal for me."

Grass was also something totally new to her. All non food plants were actually.

"Yeah. It was confusing. And pokemon aren't even the animals I read about in school."

It was a lot. Especially the wild pokemon attacks during the first routes where she was already a wild bundle of nerves.

[schachmeister]

"That must have been a lot to deal with." He sounds really sympathetic because he is. He had already felt coming here had been a lot to deal with but he had been a, older than Newt; b, accompanied by a friend; and c, at least familiar with the concept of grass and animals! It's a wonder Newt managed to get it all together as good as she did.

"It really makes me feel people should get a better introduction to this world than just... whoever the woman is that calls herself mom."

[sleepallthewayhome]

She was very lucky all things considered.

"They should. I keep saying they should put someone else there instead of that lady who just lies to you."

Will Newt ever get over her hatred of 'Mom'? Not today.

"If everyone knows people show up there, then maybe people wouldn't be so confused. I thought someone had kidnapped me from a spaceship somehow until I talked to people on the gear."

[schachmeister]

"Sometimes I think it would be nice if we could have someone of our own there to greet new people. But it seems like a lot to ask of any one individual. They wouldn't really be able to travel much because we never know when new people will show up."

Perhaps one day one of them will be naturally inclined towards that sort of thing.

"That's why I always try to talk with anyone new I see on the network. To answer their questions, at least, though I think it would be better in person."

[sleepallthewayhome]

"Even if they had a pokecenter there it'd be better then nothing."

Look she showed up in the middle of winter and had to walk to the next town while having never seen snow or been outside for long periods of time before. It's really lucky she was drawn to hiding in small warm places and was with a fire pokemon.

"Yeah. And people taking you seriously helps a lot."

[schachmeister]

"You'd think that after ten years there'd be a way to provide for new people better. But I guess most people don't stay in this world long enough to start thinking about things like that."

And even if they did, you'd never know when you would next leave. So it would really need to be an organisation rather than the work of one person.

"Maybe we should put a sign across of that house. With some of the most basic information."

[sleepallthewayhome]

"Or they don't think other people will stay long anyway."

She kind of gets that, she's only been here for a few years and sometimes it's hard to try and talk to new people because maybe they'll be gone next month.

"That might help. Do you think people would leave it up if we did it?"

[schachmeister]

"They might. Especially if we get permission from the town first. Or from the League. Then it would be completely legal for us to put that sign there."

Maybe they can ask Lance? Lance seems to be on their side. And if they have Newt make the request, who could ever deny a cute girl like Newt anything?

[sleepallthewayhome]

Seriously. Use her straight faced cuteness. Or just have her there and tell Lance she was alone and seven when she showed up.

"And we could say it would help people not break laws and stuff too if we put them up."

[schachmeister]

"When we get back home, we should look into this."

It's just a sign, but it is still more than there is now. Surely nobody could object to a simple sign, right? Especially if it is helping people. Maybe they should find some way to include more information. Could they pay someone in New Bark town to overlook it and occasionally restock information packets? This will require much thinking.
