[Here's something that's got to be totally helpful and not annoying at all: a shrug.]

The society? I mean...nobody outright tells us it's what we have to do, but it's what most people tend to do, and life here is centered around Pokemon. If it's a long-running line of activities that's readily available, why not try it out, right?

As for that...I don't know. Sometimes people aren't here longer than a month, while others have been here for years. Our length of stay is incredibly random.
