hey guys! john here.
man i guess it's been a while since i last checked in on the pokegear all publicly like this.
i guess i have just been really busy being an awesome trainer and winning gym badges.
anyways does anyone know if there's a store that specializes in pokemon-proof clothes?
like, fireproof stuff to help with angry fire types.
or something that can save me from being impaled by toxic nidorino spikes. that specifically.
if there is no such business, does anybody who knows how to make clothes want to go into business with me?
i bet we could make a lot of money that way.
i would get 50% profits for the idea obviously.

[A few minutes later, there's an addition:]

oh and if anybody has tips for the cianwood gym let me know!
im training up my awesome team of super cool pokemon to fight it next.
i want to know what im going to be up against.

[About thirty minutes after that, there's one last thing:]

also, has anybody else been getting pies sent to them?
is that a thing in the pokemon world?
because i definitely did not order these.

that would be sweet!
though we would need to find somebody who can actually make poke-proof stuff before we can file a copyright, right?
do you know how to make flame and poison-retardant clothing by any chance?

Not necessarily.
My understanding is that you can secure the idea before you have a tangible product.
I know how to make something water-resistant?
Admittedly, my clothing experience was mostly for beings of the inanimate or robotic variety and safety prevention had previously involved a shit load of duct tape.
But making something non-conductive or fire-retardant isn't out of my knowledge base.
Your main problem with the poison would be the hardest.
Unless you want an armored hazmat suit, it'll take a bit of brainstorming.

honestly, i think an armored hazmat suit might be necessary here!
though the armored part is more important for the nidorino i think.
gas masks and stuff may be good for other poison types but im pretty sure he is only poisonous by contact.

non-conductive sounds like a really good idea too!!
i could definitely use something like that for poe.
he's my mareep, by the way. he's adorable.

I'm thinking a set of armor that covers all skin and has an optional gas mask should do the trick.

Is the namesake the poet or a fictional character?

he's named after cameron poe, from con air!
the movie is kind of silly, i will admit, but poe is still pretty cool!
so i decided to name my mareep after him.

Ah ha.
I should have known. I've seen it a few times.
It's possible you're where the mysterious Con Air thing came from.
I have always wondered about that.
My version of Dave had developed a weird obsession for the film for years, as well as many other particularly shitty pieces of cinema, and dedicated an entire museum to collecting memorabilia from it. Ironically.

wait, really?
there was a version of dave who liked con air?
damn! i wish i could meet him.
he sounds cool.

There was. At least one of his films has an homage in it.
I wish I could meet him too.
The amount of cool is probably undeniable.

he is still a version of dave, though...
what kind of films did he make?
please tell me it was not sweet bro and hella jeff.

What else could they possibly have been?

i don't know.
something that is not that? i bet that dave could come up with new characters and ideas if he wanted to.
i guess i am not that surprised though.

These were new characters and ideas in that timeline so that's what happened.
And I'm glad it was because those films are fucking masterpieces.
I'm sure he could come up with something different here.
I've been curious about what would happen if we handed him a camera for a while.
