[In the foreground, one Cecil Harvey, who is holding a few TMs and staring at them thoughtfully. In the background, one Kayne the dragonite and one Mist the Swablu, apparently arguing. Mist seems to be winning.]

How do you choose which of your Pokémon receive a particular Technical Machine? Normally, I'd simply buy two copies, but those were won from Gym leaders. I doubt they have the means to give each trainer more than one.

[The argument becomes louder and louder with each passing moment. A terrified Ralts climbs on her trainer's shoulder and clings to his hair.]

...As you can see, the potential users are having a slight disagreement. If anyone has a suggestion, I'd be happy to hear it.

In fact, I doubt we'd be able to recognize them. They do seem to have less physical differences than most humans.

And it's not like they get battle scars or anything...

[video]

[paladinlost]

You'd think some of those attacks would leave marks...

[video]

[combat_butler]

... very distinctive ones at that.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Especially for wild Pokémon. They have no access to the centers, after all.

[video]

[combat_butler]

Aha... It makes me curious as to how long it takes them to recover...

[video]

[paladinlost]

A few hours, at least. Or perhaps even days?

[video]

[combat_butler]

... that just makes me wonder why they don't heal naturally after we catch them.

[video]

[paladinlost]

...They might do so at a much slower rate?

[video]

[combat_butler]

It would have to be extremely slow...

[video]

[paladinlost]

Slow enough to be impossible to perceive, even.

[video]

[combat_butler]

Mm... No regenerating health for us.

[video]

[paladinlost]

That sounds unfair for our Pokémon, losing their ability to heal like this.
