>>12598894I've got a lot to look forward to. A lot to worry about.
Game Freak has pretty much slated me to be every 8 year old trainer's dream Pokemon. It's a pretty hard thing to handle, being told to that you have to be idolized like that. Then, there's all the others jobs they might give me. The movie we're doing. The card game. Maybe I'll even be in Smash Bros, with you!
...N-not that I want to replace you, or anything! I wouldn't. I couldn't.
I'm not a fool. I know what's happened to others like me.
I-...I'm afraid I'm not going to live up to your legacy. One gen. Maybe two. Then those kids will have moved on, the new ones won't even know about me, and what will I be left with?
Not like you. You'll always be iconic, no matter where the spotlight wanders to.
Me? I just feel like a gimmick.
...I'm sorry, I-i shouldn't have rambled like that. You were just asking an innocent question.
I'm fine, really.
