The last of the pride requests I received and put off, thank you for being patient!

Requests, in order, under the cut

I bet it would be awkward for Mewtwo if Amber ends up dating a Gardevoir or a Gallade. Even more if it's a shiny one.

There's that old saying that dads never want their children to end up being like them when sometimes it happens anyway, like their children end up being attracted to the same type they were attracted to XD I don't think Mewtwo would mind though, to him it would probably just be like deja vu

Myu, how much have you trained for battles? I know you're not much of a fighter, nor you show any interest in becoming one, but having some strength/skills would certainly be useful for self-defense (and for defending Topaz too).

There's no need for you to go full offensive, as there are some defensive strategies that would turn the situation to your favor, even against someone clearly more powerful than you.

Myu: Well... I'm somewhat trained. My mother tried to make sure that I understood how battles work, so that I could best defend myself... But, um... Haah. I'm not very good at it. I hope I don't have to fight on Topaz's behalf very often like yesterday, but what if... I don't know. A good offense is also a good defense if no one can touch you, but I'm not sure I'm doing well with it.

Let's shorten the list a bit: What's your favorite pseudo-legendary? (Mine is Kommo-o)

Oh, I love Kommo-o!! I’ve never used one, but I plan to in Ultra Moon :)

My favorite pseudo-legend is Hydreigon! They’re a terror to fight against but having one on your team is a lot of fun ^^

It’s not an uncommon thing for Joltik to end up in someone’s fur or hair, but Puppy does like to climb into fur for fun sometime!

Just curious: what do you think of Pokemon based on objects (like the litwick line, honedge line, sinistea line)? I actually find interesting "possessed" objects Pokemon.

For the most part I really like them! I’ve seen a lot of people decry them or just have a preference for more organic looking Pokemon which is fine but I think it takes a lot of talent to make the inorganic Pokemon. Pokemon like Litwick, Klefki and even Voltorb (just a ball with eyes) radiate with personality and finding ways to give these things a loveable charm I think is an achievement.

Alright then. I recently got a permission to train a Heatran and I became curious about 2 things: first, Heatran is the only legendary/mythical that can be either male or female while all the others are either genderless or are gender exclusive (mine is male). Second, he doesn't blink, at all. I think he can't close his eyes. How does Heatran sleep, then?

Hello!

Heatran do not sleep the way you and I sleep—it does not close its eyes and drift off slowly. In fact, it goes into a bit of a “blank” state, for lack of a better term. It will cease movement and its body temperature will drop for several hours, and once it is ready to function again, it reheats itself and begins movement again.

Hope this helps!

To Steven, Roxanne and Steele: in theory, is it possible to a hybrid between a monster and a human to exist?

Dr. Steele: That depends on your definition of "hybrid"! I, for one, have already detailed how a mewtwo can be made.

Steven: Theorizing is one thing... The problem is how good we are at repelling magic. It's not as easy as splicing body parts together, because for as much as they're made of meat and blood, all that stuff is held together by magic. Maybe... maybe if you went aaaall the way back to the source and did something to someone's genetic code...

Roxanne: But then, are they still human? Or do they just look like one? When does someone become more monster than human? It does seem that our biology is so unique that the answer may be "as soon as magic is introduced".
