Victory Road!

Afternoon, Johto. York here, bringing you another summer weekday post from the middle of beautiful Goldenrod City.

[York's made-for-radio voice sounds as friendly as usual, but his first topic is more serious than is his wont, on the PokéConnect.]

I'm seeing a lot of new faces this month, and it looks like some of the old familiar stand-bys have left. All that change is enough to shake up anybody, so I just wanted to remind everyone that someone put something together where people can chat with someone anonymously to get things off their chest they wouldn't want to share in person. The benefit's that you can contact that anonymous volunteer a second time without giving yourself away. Pretty cool, right? I'll share a link at the end of this.

[Now he brightens.]

In other news, now that it looks like things are finally coming back together, I figured I'd do my part and breed another batch of eggs for everyone. I'm gonna do it a liiiiittle differently this time, though: Outta the following eggs, which would you most like to see? [He leans back and starts counting on his fingers.] I can do Elgyem, Abra, Shinx, Ducklett, Pidove, Dedenne, Buizel, Sneasel, Deerling, Munna, anddddd Pawniard, but not all at once, and not all of 'em might turn out with great moves. On the other hand, there'd be a couple chances for a shiny hatchling--that's an alternate coloring, for you new folks--with the right breeding pairs.

[He spreads his arms and shrugs.]

As usual, newcomers can have one egg to take home free, though I've put my seasonal Snubbull deal on hold for a while till everything's totally rebuilt. Baseball games'll be resuming shortly, though, so if you're in the area, come on up and show some Granbull pride at the stadium, okay?

[A little later, a text goes out with a link to EXCH△NGE, which is totally not run by anyone York knows, no sirree.]
