[ The video shows Rin and his new partner, a Carvanha. There’s some good news and some bad news regarding Rin’s current state of attire. One is that he managed to grab his team jacket before turning up in Johto, so he at least has something other than his swimsuit keeping him decent. The other is that, well. He doesn’t have a shirt on.

Which one of those is good and which is bad is, of course, completely subjective. ]

Is it common for people to show up here without anything decent to wear? Because I actually have no clothes besides what I'm wearing right now.

[ The joys of being a Swimmer class: he has literally no underwear. Or pants, for that matter. Or shoes, either. But he does have a nice new pair of legskins, so it's not... all bad? ]

And some other questions. Is there a decent-sized pool in any of the cities here?

[ There's a slight hesitation before he goes on. ]

And about training Pokémon. I read the handbook, so I get why we have to do it, but... How are you supposed to decide what kind of Pokémon to raise? Or what the best way to raise them is?

So really the only perk are the Pokémon, huh. Not that I'm complaining -- I'm sure there are a lot of people fulfilling unrealistic childhood dreams right now.

[ He wasn't so big on video games, though, so. ]

Eh.

Depends on where you're coming from, really.

_{[If your homeworld SUCKED... there were more perks than the Pokemon. But on the other hand, she supposes if you were like, a rich millionaire playboy or something in your life before this, coming here might be a bit of a downgrade.]}

But it's not bad. Most of the time.
