[pkmn] I always loved Rotom and I love it in this a lot [edit: we're just talking about RL birds now]
tea’s gone cold
I love how Rotom's consent is a thing that is important enough to bring up
Colorless Juice
Rotom is a good buddy
Colorless Juice
yeah Rotoms have always loved possessing appliances and now it gets one specially made for it :>
tea’s gone cold
he's in the Dex because he finds it fun and it is not permanent for him
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
YEAH
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
'This is my dex, it was made for me.'
Colorless Juice
I most love Rotom when it makes flirty comments about humans
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
YES OH MY GOD

he's so thirsty

who let you talK
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
wait is this the first talking pokemon besides the murkrow in GSC (which was more mimicking) in the games?
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
I'm trying to think... even Mewtwo doesn't talk, iirc
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
... ehhh dead Marowak, I guess
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
Anyway, no, yeah. It's fairly clear that you shouldn't force Pokemon to do things they don't want to do, that you really can't most of the time, and if you do you're a piece of shit, throughout the series.
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
Which makes inane critiques like PETA's laughable.
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
(related: okay so this is anime verse but the Pokedex notes that feral pokemon are jealous of trainer owned pokemon just saying)

yeah, she has a talking spearow?

i think rotom is the first talking mon in the games who arranges his own sentences though
tea’s gone cold
probably he can only talk because the dex has a text-to-speech
tea’s gone cold
he probably sounds like a shitty 70s speech synth like 
1975: The first speech synthesizer IC was born.
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
i like to think he sounds like Cortana
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
I mean, I assume bird pokemon in general can mimic speech _just to fuck with you_
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
other than that
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
... also Rotom is totally genderless and I do think of him as a lil dude, but you know, we d0n't know
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
that, or it just imitates car alarms at three in the morning.

i absolutely bet there's one pokebird that just sits outside a child's window calling in the voice of their mother so it can eat the child

tea’s gone cold
nah, it was starlings in my case
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
fucking starlings
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
they're not native to the US
tea’s gone cold
i love them but agreed
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
but some jackass brought 'em over
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
and they do real great here
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
so
tea’s gone cold
yeah, because he was a shakespeare fanfiction nerd
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
yep that sure fucking happened
tea’s gone cold
they are native to the UK so it's not giulty for me to find them lovely
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
i mean they may as well be natives here now
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
but still 
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
also on the topic of birds y'all don't have cardinals??? I was showing a brit friend of mine a cardinal and he was like OMG IT'S THE BIRD FROM ALL THE AMERICAN THINGS

Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
I liked seagulls when I lived in the midwest.
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
Then I lived on the coast.
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
HOLY FUCK! THEY'RE SO BIG!

they're so much fun to watch, and i love how clever they are. i don't like them breaking bread on my roof in the small hours of the morning
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
so I terned over a new leaf as far as seabirds
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
I used to watch them drop crabs and stuff to break them open when I lived in virginia.

oddly i've seen grey, bkack, and red squirrels around here
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
anyway victorians are also responsible for pigeons
Ｂｉｇ Ｂａｄ Ｇｕｚｍａ.
at least their urban nature. because they were SO COOL and then we decided they were GROSS
