Some houses aren't going to be fancy either on the outside or the in, and that's just how it is. It's the price one pays - or, rather, the price one doesn't pay, considering they go for much cheaper. That is the case of the next house on the list to visit... Or, rather, a pair of houses, identical in construction but extremely close to one another, and sharing a yard.
It's nothing particularly fancy - not as dated as some of the prior houses, but not new enough to feel modern, leaving the vibe squarely in 'vaguely old'. Where are walls aren't painted a plain color, they're in cheap and a handful of decades too old. The kitchen is a bit old, with brilliant teal appliances, and that matches the bathrooms, which all seem to be a rather stomach-medication pink...
Are those scratch marks on the wooden floor?
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmaybe. See, the prior owner of the house used to rent it out to a bunch of buddies and, well... Those buddies might have had some rather fighty Pokemon. We're talking Mienfoo - the reason why there are such massive living spaces, so that there would be plenty of room for the notoriously temperamental little fighters. Then there would be Obstagoon as well, which explains some of the scratches on the inside of the bathroom sinks... Who's responsible for all the Murkrow that seem to permanently populate the tropical trees outside? Don't... worry about it.
Or maybe worry, and it won't take long for the realtor to admit that the landlord behind this particular property kind of had some trouble with his friends and the Jennies. Making this a rental property is actually a fairly recent development to pay back some fines, apparently, and also just flat out move from Olivine. So it's not exactly done up with much, if any, consideration for particular Pokemon or even, honestly, people. The most that can be expected would be a couple of nooks at the stair landings where small enough Electric types can curl up and be hooked up to a small socket device that either lets them absorb electricity or get it out, depending on the type. The realtor demonstrates this with their own Pikachu, who fits quite snuggly.
Another bonus is that it is two houses on the same property that are technically up for grabs. Each building only has three bedrooms, with the majority of space obviously going to the massive living and dining areas, but spread across two buildings? That's a lot, and hopefully would mean they'd never feel as though they were lacking space.
It's not perfect, but it is something to consider. Regardless, there's always another house to try - the final one of the lot
