Yo! Union, I got a question for you.

Okay, so, the thought just came to me [No inspiration or anything..] I got these two little guys here. [He holds his Nidorans up in his arms, either Doug is a really small guy or the Nidorans are oversized...

Anyway--] So for years I've wondered this, maybe some of you Enlightened guy can help me out. Why do they both say "Nidoran"?

[The male Nidoran goes "Nido" at that and the female goes "Ran" both seeming rather happy in their masters arms.] Is one of them shiny? I don't think so, I mean, that's just a color thing.. right?? This one is a legitimate different shape and size, they can't both be the same pokemon.

They both know different attacks too.. one's a boy and the others a girl just so you know. This is Nigel [He lifts the male Nidoran, facing him--] and this is Nina [--then he lifts the female.]

They're the same kind of Pokémon, but one's male and one's female. Other Pokémon are like that too; if you look at Rhyhorn in the habitat you'll see that females have a shorter horn than males. Male and female Nidoran are just a lot easier to tell apart. They evolve into completely different kinds of Pokémon too; male Nidoran evolve into Nidorino and female Nidoran evolve into Nidorina. Burmy are the same way, they just don't look very different before they evolve.

Whow, wait! Really?

[Heeey, now that you mention it.. their are female and male only pokemon. He gives his Nidorans a look..] So Nigel is going to evolve into something completely different from Nina? Doesn't that make them different Pokemon? [He scratches his head..]

I guess male and female Burmy's all say the same thing, but they don't look different until they evolve... that's so weird.

[A slight shrug.]

It's how they are. I think it's interesting.

[He just continues to gaze at his Nidorans..] So.. they'll say different things once they evolve? I guess humans start looking different the older they get too..

Guess that just means my pokemon are pretty advanced, you know?

"Advanced"? What do you mean?

You know? Like better than the norm? Just look at em, their toots cute and got the gender thing or whatever. That's more than a normal Pokemon, sounds advanced to me.

Lots of Pokémon are cute and have gender differences. Someone's body doesn't make them better than anyone else. Their personalities are the important part.

[Unless we're talking about getting meat from them, but Apollo's assuming that Doug isn't planning on eating Pokémon he's bonded with.]

Duuuuuude, they have the best personalities around! Not only are they helpful around the shop but they are completely reliable. They can go form being lap-Nidorans to attack-Nidorans in a second, they like bows and chow. They're smart too.
