[Well, Joey will have at least one duelist that is on board for some card game shenanigans]

Where do I sign up for Duel Links instead?

[There was only a hint of bitterness in his tone. It wasn't directed at his current companion, just the Pokémon world in general]

I guess it's not like I really have a choice.

[The last thing he wants to become is the local chump, so lay the details on him sensei Joey.]

Only six? That's not a lot for variety.. [That must be part of the strategy. By limiting the number, a trainer has to be more selective with their monsters] ... Or like my Armed Dragon! [Which also levels up, tyvm. Chazz brightens up a little when he can connect something to his own monsters. Somewhat ironically his Druddigon does not evolve.]

Sounds like I have a lot to learn about this place and how it functions..

[It's going to be like starting school all over again- but not entirely]

Hey, whatever- it's cool.. and at least I'm not sitting in a lecture hall while you're telling me all this.
