Ah My Apologies! I’m Learning There’s A Lot I Have To Learn! Not A Bad Feeling Tbh ^u^

They’ve been staring at it adoringly and excited that they got the patterning and chonk rolls on his side correctly…

x)

I got a little plastic bulbasaur ring thingy from a gashapon machine. His name is booger and I love him.

What would you recommend to help him?

He’d be willing to do an in person appointment, I’m not sure how you feel bout those. I know you mentioned stigma and disliking it as such, so I’d suspect not.

It may be fiddly to try to do an electronic one but we can try!

Hello. Official appointment request! ^^

Chief the Chansey, with his little Oddish passenger (they are inseparable… we’ve tried) are the clients!

Background: Chief was a medic in the pokewars of yore and belonged to my grandpa. He’s in my care now as my grandpa isn’t able to care for him. He’s not distrustful of humans really, more so he sees them all as in his care and can’t seem to submit himself to their care. He’s been pretty isolated and is mourning my grandmother and the loss of company of my grandpa/ loss of caretaking for him since he is in my families care now.

Hope that’s enough background! Any additional info and scheduling can be tagged:

[ THIS IS A CLOSED APPOINTMENT BETWEEN B AND THE USER. ]

Thank you for the starting information! That's very helpful! ^^

Breaking out of selfless habits in order to care for yourself or let others care for you can be tough, I've actually had that issue myself before when I get too into the zone. ^^"

Is there any specific habits that really stand out?

Alright, I managed to get away into a building. Damn thing got my arm bad but I mean I'm still alive so its all good

And yes I grabbed that foongus before running. I'm not gonna just let a salamence incinerate it if its still possibly alive. Its in the big jar. Idk if its actually alive or not, hard to tell since mushrooms don't really have a pulse or anything that I'm aware of.

Y'know I'm probably still not all that safe, its really going at it against this building.

I called every authority I could think of, I'm gonna try and put some more distance between me n this gigantic raging death lizard. If I don't say anything in the next like hour or two it probably got me.

can Not stop randomly saying "den i throw da bones at james" to myself

Cool :) I hope to reach that level of comfortability with many clients in the future as well. Though my … condition has no overt physical element, so there’s that.

Thank you for humoring me!

Nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you too!

A fellow therapist who's just recently joined Rotomblr, what a pleasant sight! ^^

How have you been settling so far?

Hey. Laser mentioned you're looking to be a therapist, said we might get along since I'm a pokemon psychologist.

Figured since I'm running the blog today, I might as well say hey. Hope your studies are going well.

@licensed2faint (//laser is letting the BF run the blog today)

Oh hi!

I was curious about you! Nice to meet you!

Do you have any idea where pokemon therapy and human therapy diverge? I’ve been curious about this since in most of my classes it’s emphasized how interconnected and similar they can be…

Hope to talk to you more!

(@wingsofachampion) Hiya! What's your favorite thing about humans? -Tropius

Hmm, I'm a huge fan of the packbonding tendency that humans have. Small creature? Baby. Big creature? Big baby. Toaster? Baby that go ding when toast. Everything and anything can and will be adopted by a human, and it brings me incredible amounts of joy.

As a human (I know, boring right?) I have personally packbonded with two roombas, a hat, and a 3/4 inch metal ball bearing. And I'm not sorry about it. I'm sure there's worse but those are the 3 wierd ones that come to mind.

i am so easily impressed by trees

Awh idk I think he’s kinda cute. The tubes are weird but his lil banana face is charming.

Pokerating Day 20! Heatmor!

Charm: Kinda just ugly as much as I hate to say it. It looks like a fast food advertisement sign. It's also notably bald, and the weird tubes just look gross. They look like its internals have externaled. It also makes a room smell burnt just by being there. I think this is an actual 0/10. You can't even watch it's natural feeding habits cause trust me when I say you don't wanna raise a supply of durant just to feed this thing, and even if you DID it would just be it sticking its snout in an ant hole and breathing through its ass.

Care: More difficult than its worth. Not only is their natural wild food really difficult to culture (and, honestly, a more interesting pokemon), but they're also picky eaters. They tend to just incinerate food they don't want. It was very recently discovered that they're particularly picky about texture, and that boiled egg is a good way to get around that, but that means having a consistent supply of eggs which is fairly difficult in some places. It also needs them cooked, since if it tries to cook it the egg will probably pop. 3/10? Sounds like a reasonable enough score.

Safety: It's presence is enough to set off smoke alarms, and it can easily light your shit on fire by just licking it. It also has bigass claws and a fairly grumpy attitude. 3/10 carbon monoxide poisonings.

Utility: Good for removing durant populations. Like any other fire type. Can learn dig, cut, and rock smash. Mid. Not even good for a fire type's typical utility IMO. It's like 4 1/2' tall, just go catch almost any smaller fire type and I bet it can do the same without being so difficult to keep. 4/10.

Battle: This is a poor pokemon for battling. Lets go over the positives first, wide moveset, and a decent ability in flash fire. Now the negatives: it's in that perfect speed range to be too slow to outspeed much, yet too fast for trick room. It's also pretty frail with a poor defensive type, and has nowhere near enough oomph to actually hit hard with the wide array of moves it can use. It also takes increased stealth rocks damage. 2/10, there are definitely worse pokemon out there but for a fully evolved pokemon this thing is just so mediocre than any other fire type is better in some way.

Final Score:

Charm: 0/10

Care: 3/10

Safety: 3/10

Utility: 4/10

Battle: 2/10

Total Score: 12/50

Pet Score: 6/30

Battle score: 6/20

Notes: I feel bad bashing on this thing but it really just has no good qualities. Its a moderately disturbing (and ugly) pokemon that I would prefer to never see again.

Again, this rating is inherently biased just like every other thing made by any organism ever concieved, so if you love this thing? Good on you. I respect you for finding joy somewhere where I can't. Don't let my words change your opinions and stay you!

Built like a Baked Bean

Big baby :)

IT JUST POPPED OUT, HOVERED FOR A SECOND, LOOKED AT ME, AND THEN FLOPPED ONTO THE TABLE LMAO
