It seems that having small, sentient companions is rather common here on Earth. Can someone explain why so many people seem to want and/or have them? Especially when they are incredibly small and seem to serve no purpose in terms of protection or strength?

Pokemon isn't a breed, then? Or a genus?

[versusseeker]

800+ breeds

[Or would species be a better word? His brow furrows a bit as he considers it.]

species*
theyre lyk animals

[What's the word he's looking for here? Not a genus...]

kingdom?

[kestreldawn]

... I am afraid our terminology doesn't quite match up where I'm from, but I think I understand. There are many different kinds of Pokemon, though all of them fall underneath the classification of "Pokemon," yes?

You seem to be disregarding vowels.

[versusseeker]

[Who needs vowels, tbh?]

[kestreldawn]

.. Why ... what? I was making an observation, as to your .. abbreviating pattern.

[versusseeker]

yes**

[kestreldawn]

... Oh. I thought you were asking "why." I suppose this is the danger of too many abbreviations.

[versusseeker]
