[ There's a pale, delicately built girl in the video, sitting in a park somewhere in Violet City with her bag at her side on a bench. There's two eggs that look like they're a couple of days from hatching, and an exasperated look on the girl's face as she holds one of the strings on a Drifloon.

On the other string is held aloft a cardboard sign that simply reads "I'M A MENACE TO SOCIETY" ]

Alright, two questions.

One: What do I even name this guy?

Two:

[ and she takes a deep sigh here ]

How do I get him to stop trying to drag toddlers into Hell?! I was trying to have a nice day out with my Pokemon and I've had to apologize to five parents already.

[ She's burying her face in her hands as she says this. She is deeply ashamed that this balloon does not play well with other children, okay. But as she's burying, the Drifloon looses himself from her grip, eyeing a nearby baby.

She manages to yank him fast enough, but holy fuck. ]

What the- NO!

I'm being serious, heard some Pokemon straight up just feed on emotions. I think my own world had creatures that did the same, so it's not too surprising.

I mean, yeah, my world did too but... I don't think there's anything malicious about it, y'know? We don't get mad at lions eating gazelle or anything. That's just how it is.

[ It's how she tries to rationalize what her kind do even if she doesn't agree with it. Some of them literally need to feed on people, so... ]

[bloodyroses]

I'm not mad either, I'm just...annoyed, I guess.

[ It's a LOT to deal with. ]

[hasitsthorns]

[ Ah. Oof. Maybe she's projecting a little, again? It's... surprisingly difficult not to here. ]

Sorry, yeah- It sounds frustrating as hell. But, hopefully, your little guy will get in line.
