playing Scarlet for a giveaway and doing shiny hunts in the crater and was reminded from my first time coming down here there's something about how the machines in this abandoned facility - housing an android completely isolated from humans, even her own son that she's not allowed to speak to except by proxy through you, who's entire identity was built by her creator to be a perfect replica of herself, memories and form and all, to literally Become Her after the original died - is the only healing station to address your pokemon by their names, rather than the more clinical designated species.

i dunno, maybe it's just the trans name and identity stuff I've been dealing with lately but like. it definitely made me feel a certain way back then when i first saw it, and especially makes me feel a way to see it now.

#i don't have nor care about the dlc so it might not be true anymore for the game as a whole #but base game? yeah.#pokemon scarvio #pokemon scarlet #answrs is queer #not gonna lie I actually kinda avoid the pokecenters now for healing? because it feels oddly (or not so oddly) cold #like it's frustrating.#sometimes i wish my character could snip back at them. because no! their name is not Chien-Pao #it's Cui-Cut! say their fuckin name!#(I name many of my Mythicals and Legendaries by their vocalizations if they have legible text cries)#(if pokemon name themselves in their vocalizations...)#(well then who am I to address them instead by whatever name someone else decided is theirs?)#(idk that's just the impression I got way back in the early days and it's something that's stuck with me ever since.)#pokemon
