fourth game; VIDEO. ACTION for Cianwood.
[ The camera is shaking, mostly because Nanami can't seem to find an angle she wants. ...WELL, WHATEVER. It can just kinda be propped up on the coffee table in her room. There is an almost worrying amount of energy and soft drinks and candy around, for...some reason. Many of them are open. Apparently health got drop kicked out the window this month for...some reason...?
Look, maybe "staying awake" would have been better done by actually going to bed on time and eating healthy meals and that sort of thing, but apparently we just can't take that route so Nanami's going with "drink stuff that's supposed to wake you up and eat lots of sugar???? profit????????" She's apparently even got coffee, here.
Why the hell is she drinking coffee.
And she's definitely not sleepy - she thinks? she may crash pretty soon because THIS WAS A STUPID PLAN - and Nanami's moving around more than she usually does and looks at least somewhat more alert. Sort...of. She looks distracted, too. ]
...Got it! Ah, hello. This is Nanami. That is, this is Chiaki Nanami...pleased to meet you. If I don't know you, I'd like to talk to you...I think. Although that isn't to say that if I do know you I don't want to talk to you...But it wouldn't count, and I want the high score.
[ well gee thanks that clears up everything... ]
As many of you as I can who I haven't spoken to...please allow me to meet you! We can talk about anything you want. Like your favorite game...or perhaps your favorite series if that's too hard...or what sort of levels you like best... [ ...so when she says "anything" does she mean "about video games"? ] Mm, I'm pretty sure like this I won't fall asleep. So...let's start the battle! I won't lose!
[ While it's true her classmates seem to be falling into comas like flies, she is...probably not trying to avoid that by over-caffeinating. Probably. ]

So you haven't played many...? What ones have you played? [ don't tell her you've never played any at all...
And while she doesn't mind rambling about games to unsuspecting - or fully suspecting, in this case - persons, perhaps she should, uh, try to engage more. Conversationally. ]
...What sort of things do you like? And also, if I may...what is your name?
video;
Um... I-I haven't played any...? [There, she said it.] But...I like gardening and knitting a lot. ...And ah! Pardon me, how could I have forgotten? I'm Juniper Woods.
video; 1/2
...So...you can't know...no, you absolutely could not have known...these gears come with preloaded games! Things like Snake and Minesweeper and Solitaire...
[ and tetris but WE DON'T TALK ABOUT TETRIS HERE. ]
Juniper! You absolutely must play one of those games! Not playing any games ever...that's just too sad.
video; 2/2
Ah, although gardening and knitting sound fun...someone was teaching me to knit a little, but I'm still not very good at it. I'd like to get better, though.
video;
[Especially since you're so passionate, Nanami, wow. You're gonna scare her.]
Oh, if you'd like, I could teach you how to knit. I'm...um, I'm kind of good at that. ['Kind of' is not really what one would use to describe themselves when they made an entire costume from scratch, but it's Juniper.] ...I think we may have to meet in person, however, before we actually can.
video;
[ VIDEO GAMES ARE HER LIFE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ]
Teaching me to knit...please do! But, where are you now? I guess giving lessons over the gear is a little hard. As of now, I'm in Cianwood, but after my friends wake up we'll head back to Goldenrod.
video;
Currently, I'm in Cherrygrove. I'm...afraid I'm still a bit new here, so I haven't had much time to travel through, but I'm headed to Goldenrod. I'm a breeder, so someone suggested it'll be best to settle down there because of the Breeding Centre. When I'll arrive there, I'll definitely be able to teach you.
video;
[ ...because well world based on a game... ]
So are you going to get a job at the Breeding Centre?
video; 1/2
[THAT'S...SOMETHING.]
video; 2/2
And um...that's my intention, yes. I would very much like to get one, but...I'm not very fit out for any other jobs.
video;
[ SO CHIN UP, JUNIPER...
tho let's swing around back to the startling topic ]
But this is definitely based on a game...though some of the details are different.
video;
I see... So this place is based on a game called Pokémon... Okay, that makes more sense.
[She was going to freak out and think she was a video game character for a moment...]
video;
[ HAHA WELL LET HER TELL YOU A THING JUNIPER - no, Nanami would never reveal anyone being a game character, even with those she's allowed to recognize. ]
Yep. So, this world...is based on a game that is in my world and many other worlds. It's sort of cool, right?
video;
[...since a lot of things involve money here.]
It is sort of cool, yes. I mean, my world didn't have Pokémon there, but they're really sweet to have around. I only have two right now, but...I'm planning on getting more sometime soon.
video;
[ WHICH SHE DOES. Because POKEMON BATTLES IRL, how can a gamer say no...? ]
Which two do you have, if I can ask...? They're really great. Even having just two is okay...you should make your team something you're really proud of and happy with. There's no need to have a big team right off the bat.
video;
[Then again, she only did battle during her adventure through Route 29. Fun.]
Well, I have my starter, Sunkern, and a Poochyena. It just hatched yesterday, actually. But I'm very proud of them, and I know that they'll grow up nice and strong.
video;
[ YOU CAN DO POKEMON HOW YOU WANT, JUNIPER. YOU DO YOU. ]
Sunkern...I see. So, Sunflora...that should be nice. It's a very cheerful sort of Pokemon, I think. My own starter is now a Musharna...
video;
[If so, she is...really happy about that...]
Musharna? What type of Pokémon is that?
video;
[ she didn't ask you that... ]
As to Musharna...
[ Nanami angles her gear at her sleeping partner. ]
A psychic type.
video;
[Nowhere in the near future but that's okay.
When Nanami pans the camera to Musharna, Juniper gasps, her eyes widening slightly.]
Ah! It looks so cute... Are psychic types good?
video;
[ #gamer skillz ]
I think so...it really depends on type match ups. I think it's best to create a team based on what you want or who you work best with...rather than things like "is this strong" or "will it assist me in battle" although those things are important in their own ways, too.
video;
[Though, that isn't the point here.]
...Is it possible to catch a Munna or was it only available as a starter?
video;
I'd offer to breed one for you, but I'm a trainer...so I don't know much about that.
video;
[...Because the Ruins of Alph sound like a place she does not want to enter.]
Oh, no, it's okay! But thank you, anyway. Though...once I figure out breeding, if you need anything, I'd be more than happy to breed for you. Someone said that they'd be helping me learn, so...I know as much as you currently.
