[Log 002: Video]
[Faize is in what appears to be a library, a small stack of books to his left and his Elgyem sitting on the table to his right. Said Elgyem has the look of somebody who's been giving an explanation that fell on deaf ears for a decent length of time. Which is basically exactly what happened in a non-verbal sense. Poor thing.]
[Faize, on the other hand, looks considerably less irritable than he did the last time he appeared on the network. This world still bothers him, but last month's trip to Nightmare Castle was enough to get him to start giving this world and the things it has to offer a try. And he's actually come to find that some of it is rather fascinating.]
[It's the green eggs and ham effect.]
It would seem that, thusfar, humans have been unable to translate Elgyem's communicative patterns. Which is understandable, translation is a rather difficult and complicated process, especially with the level of technology this world has at its disposal and given the fact that Elgyem communicates non-verbally. [He waves a hand somewhat dismissively.] But no matter, it gives me something to work towards, I suppose.
However, this does not help me in figuring out what my Elgyem's name is. He can communicate with me psychically, but seems to only be able to do so with pictures, which is little better than patterns of blinking lights in this case. Somehow it seems strange to just call him "Elgyem" when that's the name of his entire species.
[The Elgyem in question just puts his face in his hands. Master, plz. Why is this so hard. He appreciates the thought, he really does, but he doesn't have a name. He just wants you to give him a name, like he's been trying to tell you in a variety of ways for the past several hours.]
So I guess, put simply, my question is this: how did you go about learning the names of your Pokémon?

Certainly. Once I actually have notes to offer, that is. I've only just started in my attempts to understand him. Does this mean you have an Elgyem as well, Rose?

No, not yet unfortunately. During our pass through Mt. Moon, however, I came across a small gathering of them. I enjoy sketching wild Pokemon I find, and when I sat down to do just that the curious little ones came over to investigate. I fell in love with them, but didn't have the space at the time to catch one for myself.
I plan on going back to get one though now that I do have the space to keep one. Maybe you and your Elgyem could join me!

[Faize's Elgyem looks rather excited by the prospect, bouncing up and down.]
Perhaps we can, it will depend on a few things, I suppose. But I cannot say I would be opposed to the idea. If I remember my map correctly, though, Mount Moon is...quite a ways away from where I am currently.

What might that limit be, just out of curiosity.

And possibly around 70? I believe? I'm not positive on the exact number, as I haven't reached it yet.

[Which he was kind of under the impression is what everyone here does.]

[The map looks pretty big to him...]

Though three years also doesn't feel like a very long time anymore really. [[This is...partially true.]]

I see. So what would you consider a very long time now then?
