HELLO, EVERYONE. THIS IS GORDON COLE SPEAKING. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT POKEMON EVOLUTION, AND I’M HOPING SOMEONE OUT THERE CAN ANSWER IT. NOW, I’VE READ THE HANDBOOK AND UNDERSTAND THAT POKEMON CAN CHANGE FORMS FOR SEVERAL REASONS, BUT I’M A LITTLE CONFUSED ABOUT SOMETHING. YESTERDAY, MY KRICKETOT EVOLVED INTO A KRICKETUNE. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THIS IS NORMAL.

[Or as normal as the Pokémon world gets anyway.]

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THOUGH, IS HOW COMMON IS IT FOR A POKEMON TO MAKE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT NOISE AFTER EVOLVING. I CAN ACTUALLY HEAR THIS SOMETIMES, AND I’M PRETTY SURE IT DIDN’T MAKE THAT NOISE BEFORE. IT SOUNDS LIKE…ACTUALLY, LET ME SHOW YOU.

GO AHEAD. IT’S RECORDING.

[There’s some silence, and then… this.]

IT’S REALLY STRANGE. ALSO DOES ANYONE KNOW IF IT’S NORMAL FOR POKEMON TO GROW A MUSTACHE AFTER EVOLVING? BECAUSE THIS ONE DID. AT LEAST IT LOOKS LIKE A MUSTACHE. I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT IT IS.

[Gordon is treated to a length of silence before some mumbling.]</sub>

They get a new name and cry and everything. It's normal.

IT LOOKS LIKE A MUSTACHE TO ME! I'D GIVE IT A 8.5/10 FOR BEING ALL CURLY LIKE THAT! WANNA SEE ME GROW A MUSTACHE TOO?

[She doesn't really give you time to answer that and maneuvers her hair it into something resembling a mustache.]

IT'S A-ME! A-MABEL!

YOU KNOW GORDON, I DON'T THINK THIS COUNTS AS SPEAKING.

[ text forever, as per usual ]

[ Cliffjumper has to wonder why people try to actually... talk to Gordon. This is a lot easier ]

totally normal, but i'm sure someone's told you that already

[Reid is going the way of Cliffjumper, because seriously, guys. Writing. It's so much easier.]

As I understand it, that's completely normal for the species. It actually happens to a lot of animals here, but I don't think I've ever really heard a sound like that. I think Kricketots and their evolutions are vaguely related to regular crickets from back home.

You're in Goldenrod, right?
