Okay, so battling's a big deal and everything here. I still think that's pretty messed up, but what do I know about Pokemon? Not much, I only been here so many months. I haven't really thrown myself into it, I just do friendly stuff to keep my Pokemon happy and healthy. But I'm starting to get into it.

[Jimmy's a competitive guy, and after drying out, the Battling Bug's starting to grip him hard. But he knows damn well that two Pokemon does not a sleek battling team make.]

So I'm wondering how you build up a solid team, you know? I've been going over my 'gear all day, but I don't even know where to start. How do you know what other kinds of Pokemon you ought to get? How tough is it taming a wild Pokemon? My two weren't wild. Do wild caught Pokemon do better in battles, or a Pokemon hatched and raised to be part of a specific team?

[He throws up his hands and shakes his head at the 'gear screen.]

I'm totally friggin' lost.

I haven't noticed a difference. None of them are as good as I am though, says Thomas.

Uh, okay. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to get more Pokemon.

You can get special moves and more powerful pokèmon from breeding, but you can also catch pokèmon that are strong, says Thomas.

Breeding sounds like it's the way to go, but I'd hate to mess up.

Just don't eat the eggs and you'll do fine, says John.

....Okay I'm pretty sure I can manage that, but... I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to take care of a newborn.

They come out like a weak version of their kind of pokèmon. I don't know how some of those fit into the eggs, says John.
