[Roxas pops up on the network, a green and yellow scarf around his neck with his Dedenne peeking out of his coat. Neither will complain about the cold. This is a first for both of them. The backdrop is clearly Ecruteak.]

So when's it supposed to start snowing again? Does anyone know?

[Vivi squeaks the same question. He wants to play in more snow!]

Oh yeah... do they have a Pokémon Santa here? It's Christmas this month, and I've never seen a Santa before other than the weird ones that are ringing bells. And if it's a person instead, isn't Santa supposed to ride around on a sled pulled by reindeer? Stantler are like reindeer, so I guess he'd have those here... how does he deliver all those presents in one night? Is there more than one Santa?

[These are pressing questions, people. Please enlighten the blond and his tiny squeak.]

Why, yes, Virginia — of course there's a Santa Claus.

And someone usually hands out miraculous gifts around this time of year, so frankly attributing it to him is as good a guess as any other.

[OH HEY, something he actually knows the answer to.


...Sort of.]

Santa can deliver his presents in one night because he gets helpers to hand out presents for him in different towns, zura. I know because I was picked last year to help, zura~

Virginia?

Why are they miraculous?

[seasaltkey]

You got to help Santa? Is he really a fat guy in a red suit and a big white beard?

[Video]

We got one Santa here in Goldenrod, you know.

[You know, the one entertaining kids at the Department Store. Totally Santa.]

[Video]

[monge]

...I don't know, I didn't actually get to meet him, zura.

[He was kinda on the other side of the world delivering presents.]

But he looked just like that in the pictures of the book we got, zura! We even had to wear the suit and beards ourselves to make it authentic, zura.

In 1897, a girl named Virginia O'Hanlon wrote a letter to the editor of the New York Sun, asking whether or not there was such a thing as Santa Claus. That was the editor's reply, among other things.

Have you ever seen an oddly-colored Pokemon? One that's differently-patterned than the typical ones of its species.

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

I saw that one! But he was huge... and kind of intimidating. All of the other ones are shorter guys who look like they use pillows to look fat.

[North as Santa.......... why.]

[Video]

[ratherbelocky]

Aw, come on, man, he's the nicest guy I know. Like a big, cuddly Christmas teddy bear.

[--who could slice a guy in half with a repeating laser rifle, but details.]

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

That's weird.

[Really weird.]

[Never heard of New York Sun. But he'll just keep quiet about that.]

You mean shiny Pokémon? I've seen some of those.

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

He is? I know a lot of good people, but the only really tall one I know is North. He looked tall on the network at least.

One year, Santa Claus saw to it that everyone in the region got one. They hatched from eggs.

text;

[seasaltkey]

I've never gotten a shiny egg before. Not the last time or this time. Do the eggs look different?

text;

[doitrockapella]

They don't, no. There's no way to tell until they hatch.

[seasaltkey]

So it's a hit or miss thing. I don't think I'm that lucky.

text;

[doitrockapella]

Lucky?

[Video]

[ratherbelocky]

Well, North and Saint Nick are essentially the same dude, as far as I'm concerned.

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

So that was North dressed as Santa?

[........... he can see that.]

text;

[seasaltkey]

With getting a shiny egg. You need luck, right?

[Video]

[ratherbelocky]

Hey now, far be it from a humble guy like me to guess at Santa's alter-ego. Let's just say they've got some good qualities in common.

text;

[doitrockapella]

It's pure chance, as far as I know, whether one will end up that way or not.

But they're living creatures, not trophies.

text;

[seasaltkey]

I know. I just think it'd be kind of neat to see one. Even if it's just a friend showing one to me. I've never seen one in person.

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

What good qualities does Santa have?

[doitrockapella]

Have you tried asking around? You might find some luck that way.
