I love Rachel and her friends. They so neatly encompass the spirit of what Pokemon should be- silly, corny names; getting attached to the ones you have despite their supposed inferiority; making friends INSTANTLY because you share the very important factor of loving Pokemon.

Awww, this made me smile. I'm sure Rachel and her friends love you too! (Sparky hates you, but it's nothing personal; he hates everyone.)

I'm delighted by your self-insert; he sounds like a lot of fun! (I couldn't remember who Looker was, so I just checked, and I'D ENTIRELY FORGOTTEN HE DISGUISED HIMSELF AS YOUR MOTHER IN POKÉMON WHITE, WHAT)
