There's a saying, I believe, that things both bad and good come in threes. I'm not entirely certain if I subscribe to that belief, but I suppose there is something to be said for things taken in multiples being superior to ones that stand alone. Or perhaps that's simply the perspective of someone with a particular inclination toward doubles.

Though I admit I'm not averse to singles, if there should happen to be two tennis players in the same vicinity of a court. I enjoyed our game, Shiraishi-kun — let's have another again, soon.

But on the subject of doubles, today marks the second birthday I've had the occasion to observe in Johto. By local reckoning, it seems I'm now sixteen. And it also seems a few members of my roster have seen fit to observe the occasion in a manner...uniquely commemorating that. Thank goodness Marui-kun left me Tensai Jr. upon his departure a few months ago; it appears I'll be making good use of his reserves of Sleep Powder again.

And for the sake of indulging what is almost certainly a sense of morbid curiosity, a question: do any of you, reading this, have multiples of the same species of Pokemon in your roster? And if so, what is the most of any one variety you've ended up with?

Why would you need more than one?

Two Gardevoirs, a mother and a daughter. Two Luxrays, a mother and a son. Two Gyarados, no relation. Of these, only one of the Gardevoirs was mine from the beginning. ...Unless you count my Nidoking and Nidoqueen.

I don't have much in the way of multiples besides my two Eevee evolutions, but I've seen and heard of people with doubles before. The Gym leaders probably do, for one, since they have two teams to toggle out of their favorite types.

But wouldn't it be hard to tell them apart? With Jolteons and Umbreons, it's not so bad, but I can't imagine how someone would separate, say, two Magnemites or Voltorbs.

Happy Birthday. I'd be happy to play with you again. It was nice to actually play real match instead of practicing on your own.
