[video] /aggressively insists the off-brand is the real deal

[The video starts with an awkward close up of a young child, face scrunched up as they navigate the Gear's interface. Once they realize it's started recording, they pull it back to a proper framing, though.]

--didn't know they put this in--um, hi! I'm Chip, I just got my first Palien a week ago! His name's Lazzo and he's a...um...

[They reach for their Pokedex and fiddle with it some until the tinny voice comes on with 'Salandit, the toxic lizard Pokemon'.]

Right, a Salandit! Um, does anyone know why they're using weird names for stuff? And Patty's just got one type, it's really weird...

But! Right I was gonna ask, where can I find a Espcheep? I really really wanna get one for real! I tried looking in the 'Pedia, but there's nothing in there and they've gotta be around!

Okay bye!

Oh! Yeah, Machop's just like that! He's grey but it's more like stone, not a dead person. It probably seems like he's more pale cuz of the light! He has a lot of martial arts moves that he just... naturally learns as he levels up? It's kinda crazy, I'm not even gonna lie to you, Chip. I've watched dudes take years to learn what he's figured out in a couple of weeks!

[ Kirishima reaches up to 'ruffle' the 'hair' of his Machop, exposing the golden ridges over his brow. Machop accepts this, giving his trainer a fond but also put-upon side-eye. He doesn't need this kind of affection! And strangers are watching him get loved on, you jerk, stop! Machop likes it, though, he's just a little embarrassed. ]

I have a Ghost type Pokemon over here if you want to check it out! I'm guessin' Necro types more like zombies?
