17 [VIDEO] BACKDATED TO OCTOBER 24TH

[enjoymyatelier]

[...so there was certainly a news broadcast featuring a certain Pokemon Professor just now, and while Kayneth usually doesn't mug for these sorts of things, he... goes with video in case he needs to show off something.

For now, though.

For now.

...on some level, he's thrilled, but on another level... the way he's drumming his fingers on his desk suggests some level of exasperation.]

Well, I believe that broadcast may have cleared up a mystery or two for those of us who have noticed some strange things about some of the new Pokemon --- namely, the Fairy type this professor was talking about. Some others and I have noticed that several Pokemon had an unusual amount of resistance to the Dragon type, and while I suppose it could have been some bizarrely common ability... well, as sudden as this seems, a whole new type suddenly appearing out of the ether makes more sense.

[he... sighs....... and then grabs the gear, turning it to show off three Pokemon. They happen to be a Carbink floating closer to the camera to try and mug a bit, distracting a bit from a spacey looking Swirlix and a shy looking Flabebe.]

...Dionisy, could you not...? Anyway, I've determined that these Pokemon seem as though they completely resist Dragon type moves, making them decent candidates for this new type. If you've noticed this particular quality from any of the Pokemon that you caught over the course of September, please tell me --- being able to catalog them would probably be useful for all of us.

[...something's still bothering him, though, as the Carbink continues to float around in the background and waggle their ears at the table...]

...Of course, that broadcast... brought up another question. Is anyone here familiar with the palace of Versailles? I'm really certain the Professor was just... standing in front of Versailles.

In... France.

[...he

sighs..............]

...likely, it's... some sort of equivalent, but... is there truly a place in this world that's just France...? Is there an equivalent to everything? Of course, I have no idea if there's any sort of point to speculating given that we'll never actually go there.

[A gloomy pause.]

Probably not, really.

That's a bit strange, though I suppose not every world would have an equivalent. A fair amount of people here are from very similar worlds and would recognize the same country names, so I admittedly directed the question more towards them.

However, that's actually a very good idea, given that we don't actually have common names for any of them yet. People would be able to recognize them on sight, of course, so it would be better than... well, anything else at the moment.

In that case, do you think that's something that a few of us could work on compiling? Maybe just making a post, asking for information on the new arrivals from the past couple of months. Then we put it together in one cohesive guide that we could just keep adding to.

[enjoymyatelier]

I've been considering that myself. Surely between us all, we've captured at least one of each of the new Pokemon, haven't we? I'd be particularly interested in seeing which Pokemon might end up being that Fairy type, since it certainly seems to be the most interesting revelation... but I'd imagine they all have their quirks.

[paishodown]

Maybe we should get working on something, then. At the very least, ask the network at large if people would be willing to contribute.

[enjoymyatelier]

Yes, I agree. I don't like posting too often in a short span of time, so if you could do that...? I'd be happy to work on some of the cataloging, of course.

From the way it sounds, we may be getting some sort of resource to work with from Kalos proper sooner or later, but Pokedex data tends to be extremely bare bones. Something a little more detailed would probably be useful even after we get some official word on what we're dealing with.
