They look like a perfume bottle, too, don't they?

[A pause.]

Pheromingos.

[Botan why.]

I'll take one of the little dears off of you, sir.

[styxiedust]

[Her Ghost senses are tingling.

Awww, but look at it, it's like a little flying pumpkin...bat...thing.]

Oh, my goodness, Yukio, really? I'd be quite honored to have one, they're so cute!

[heartofmetal]

[Greed, you have fine taste in cute.]

There are different sizes... do you have any preferences?

[He points the camera at a group of small, large, larger, giant.] This is the first time I've seen Pokémon have different sizes.

Video;

[heartofmetal]

Yeah... especially this one [He points at one larger one who just shamelessly attached herself to Eds arm.] I'm not sure why.

[heartofmetal]

Jack-o'-lanterns?

[What are those?]

[heartofmetal]

Sure. You can see behind me a reference to different sizes, if you'd like to pick.

[Video]

[heartofmetal]

[The Pumpkaboo attached to Ed's arm gives a small smile to Atsuro... then again, when isn't she smiling? Such a happy pumpkin!!]

Haha... ha. There are a few different sizes for these ones. Do you have a preference?

[heartofmetal]

Well, I think it's better than getting stomped by an army of raining dogs.

[Seriously, he still has terrible memories of that day.]

Though thanks. There are a few different sizes for this guy. You can pick whichever size you want, since they won't be ending anytime soon...

[Lavender Town: now a home for pumpkins.]

[heartofmetal]

[Ooh. Ed had been thinking about getting another Water-type. With luck, these guys may be... or even if they aren't, they look interesting.]

Could I get one?

[babel_hacker]

Got it! I wasn't expecting anything in return, but I might keep that in mind depending on what pops up next?

[Since the Pokemon are very new to everyone, Atsuro would probably accept it.]

[babel_hacker]

[Did someone say cookies.]

I'll definitely accept cookies in exchange for them! What kind of cookies are they?

[babel_hacker]

Yep, you can! I can send it over to your PC later, Ed.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

[D'aww, how cute.]

Hm... I dunno how different it'd be to raise a small one compared to a larger one. Maybe one somewhere in the middle?

[enjoymyatelier]

I don't see why not to send you something later, really. Even if they're only around for one day, they tend to be around in large numbers and at a low enough level that they're easy to catch, so it's not like it'd be much of an inconvenience.

[babel_hacker]

Thanks!

[Hmm...]

If they're Electric-types and warm their bodies up under the sun... Maybe it's to gather energy? Sort of like solar powered electricity.

[superordinary]

Then they'd be like a living solar panel! That's pretty cool.

[enjoymyatelier]

Yes, that likely would be a wise idea. Do make sure it doesn't become too much of a nuisance if that does turn out to be the case, then.

[babel_hacker]

Yeah! I know a lot of electric-types usually generate them inside their body, but it's pretty cool these guys might include the sun as well.

Actually, it's neat to see how each Pokemon might work on a biological level.

[Science isn't really his thing, but he can give an exception for Pokemon. Such bias.]

[sincereheart]

Yeah, jack-o'-lanterns! You know, like pumpkins that have silly faces on them! You see them a lot around Halloween! That's what these are, right?

[enjoymyatelier]

Some Pokemon are surprisingly more useful than they look when you learn more about them, which is the reason I went out of my way to catch one in the first place... but it's certainly going to be an adventure figuring these out.

I'm grateful for you assistance, then --- just a moment, please, while I catch one.

[...given that she asked for it, he'll go ahead and get the most annoying one before returning...]

[enjoymyatelier]

...They're stranger than usual, to be sure, but I'm not nearly as offended by their existence as I am by the animate ice cream cones and trash bags.

[Kayneth stop hating on Gen 5.]

Then again, their existence is presently more irritating...

[enjoymyatelier]

That depends; have you encountered anything interesting?

[...he just looks extremely bemused at that.]

Ah, yes. I suppose I'll just... scramble some eggs at them, then, as I'm quite certain that's closest analogue that wouldn't involve kidnapping and possible brain damage.

[superordinary]

Agreed! I've always liked animals, and I used to be in the animal club back in junior high, so this sort of thing fascinates me. Pokémon sure are interesting creatures.

[enjoymyatelier]

I'm of half a mind to agree with you, but haunted objects are a bit less strange than some of the other things I've seen here.

At least, I presume they're haunted.

[enjoymyatelier]

They come in different sizes? Now, that's interesting. Do you know if they have any appreciable differences in skill as a result of that...?

Likely not, but either the largest or the smallest you can find would be fine.
