[Something just occurred to him as he was in the middle of brushing his new poodle-dog, so Garry decides to turn on the SFC to voice his thoughts to the network while he continues. At least the Furfrou looks content.]

For everyone who's been here since April... Do you all remember the prom? It was exciting- and exhausting since I'd done some commissions- but there were so many apparently very important people there... And that enormous library.

I remember being there, along with a friend, trying to see if there were any notes or books that could tell us about our predicament since the two of us were still new. Marcia and I never did seem to find anything about that... But I recall reading some notes that I suppose were written by the host. They seemed to talk about a new type of Pokemon.

I can't imagine what a new type would look like... I mean, we seem to have a good balance already, don't you think? There's 17, which is, ah... [He pauses in his dog grooming to count on his fingers as he remembers.] Fire, Ghost, Water, Normal, Dragon, Ground, Ice, Psychic, Flying, Fighting... Grass and Poison.. Electric, Rock, Bug... Dark? And one more... Ah, that's right, Steel. I can't possibly imagine what a eighteenth type could even be.

So I suppose I have two questions. The first is, if you could somehow come up with a Pokemon type of your own, what would it be?

The second... [The Furfrou suddenly acts up, leaning closer to lick at his face. Garry laughs slightly.] Does anyone have any dog grooming tips?

[Ah yes. Prom. Small girls getting thrown into pools. Kuzuryuu remembers that well.]

How could anybody forget that bullshit? [Kuzuryuu, it really wasn't that bad and you know it.] Anyway, dunno about what I'd make it but if there really is an eighteenth type, my guess would be that it's some kind of light type. Since there's a dark type and all...kinda weird that the opposite doesn't exist.

That's true... It seems like it would fit in with the "theme", so to speak. It would make since for there to be a Light type for Dark types to be weak against.

Instead... They're weak against Bug and Fighting, right? That's always seemed strange.

Yeah, bug and fighting. Which doesn't make any fucking sense, like you said. Nearly everything else you can sorta guess type effectiveness, y'know? Plants burn, water conducts electricity, brains over brawn, so on and so forth. But with dark types it's just so damn random...

[Ah, vidya mechanics.]

But if it's not a light type then...maybe wind? We've got all the other basic elements. Flying's really the closest to that but it's not really the same thing now, is it? Especially since I've never fuckin' heard of a pure flying type.

Oh, that is true! There really isn't a pure Flying type of any kind. [HUH] I wonder if that kind of Pokemon will show up? I mean, we've seen all sorts of strange things already.

You mean like literally raining cats and dogs? [STILL NOT IMPRESSED BY THAT.] Gettin' real tired of shit dropping out of the sky that shouldn't be around here. But anyway, you're right, we'll find out one way or another eventually. Assuming there's anything new to find out at all.

Speaking of dogs though...what sort of tips were yo looking for?

Well... That's definitely one thing, yes.

[Goddammit, Johto.]

Mostly how to take care of this much fur. It seems a bit like a poodle, although a bit more shaggy I should think, and I know they're quite prided on their fur back where I'm from.
