[It's sometime midday when Rika turns the Gear on, and faces the camera towards herself. She's currently sitting down on the trail right outside of Goldenrod, coming back from a training session with her team.] Mii. Training really is a lot of fun. It's a great way to spend time with all of my pokémon. [She grins as a Ninetails nuzzles against her face.] Ah, that's right! Hope has finally evolved. She's become very strong, and I decided that it was time for her to evolve, and now she's gotten even stronger. [Rika pats the Ninetails on the head.] I'm very proud of her.

[There's a small pause before Rika smiles again.] As of today, I have a new member on my team! [She puts the Gear down for a moment as she releases a pokémon. Once she picks it back up, Rika now has a Bulbasaur in her lap.] I'm not exactly sure what to name him yet, but I know that I will come up with a good name! Nipaa!

I've noticed that so many people seem to have really interesting names for their pokémon. How do you decide what to name your pokémon?

I like those names.

What qualities did they have that made you choose those names?

[foolishwren]

Well, uh... Cujo's the name of a famous dog monster in a book... and uh... Godzilla's the name of a famous giant lizard monster, and uh...

_{[... Oh. Oh wow. She's noticing a pattern.]}

Mii... That's strange. Do you think it may be just a coincidence?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Uh, yeah... must be...

_{[Except that it totally wasn't. Heather didn't much believe in coincidences anymore.]}

[foolishwren]

Uh-- aheheh. Just wondering, that's all.

SO. Uh. How do YOU name your Pokemon?
