[But then he kind of pauses, because there's something about the way that bit of conversation was starting to go that's nagging at him, and he can't quite put his finger on why. Something about energy...something about choice.
Maybe he'll figure it out as he dredges up his dusty Pokemon knowledge and takes a swing at this.]
Well, Charmander — it ends up as Charizard, right? So that's just cool, this huge flying dragon breathing fire and everything...but like, he's not invincible? He's got problems too, like with his tail flame and stuff, and he's weak to...Water, and there's tons of Water-types.
[Okay, this is coming back a little easier now.]
Uh...Poliwhirl, what's not to like, he's this buff little guy with boxing gloves on, and Kangaskhan, you don't see those too often, so they're pretty special when you manage to find one. And then Eevee, it's cool how they can end up a bunch of different things, Flareon or Jolteon or Vaporeon, just depending on which way they go. They're...versatile, and can kind of choose what's...right for them, I guess?
