Information about these creatures in general. Where they come from, why they hide like they do, ways to befriend them--things of that nature. Anything that could help me make friends with this little one.
Re: Video (he's gonna just LOVE this place, wont he?)
*... Sion don't be a troll*
Whatever their origins though, they're creatures native to this world and found all throughout it. Hundreds of species have been identified, inhabiting places from the seas to the mountains, forests to cities, and volcanos to frozen caverns.
As for hiding, probably in part for the same reasons any wild creature does. Pokemon are generally more intelligent than the animals found in most worlds, but they have similar behaviors and instincts in many cases. They also often like to battle each other, so I imagine some deliberately lie in wait to challenge strong-looking opponents.
*he's sure that raises more questions, but one thing at a time*
There isn't just any one way to befriend them, however. Capturing them as a trainer is the most common start, of course, and many pokemon respect a partner who they can rely on to train them and direct them well in battle. Beyond that it's often a matter of individual temperament. Some may be shy and require a gentle approach; others bold and strong-willed who respect a strong hand to challenge and lead them. Different species often have certain traits they're commonly known for, but those aren't necessarily universally the case.
*and now to wait for the inevitable follow-up questions*

[And by read a bit he means he spent a few hours in a library recently.]
Yes, yes, I read that as well.
That's not quite what I meant by hiding. Mimikyu here seems to hide behind that disguise and I'm curious to know why. It's a shame for any creature to have to hide and if the information I got from the Pokedex is any indication, it seems to use a disguise because others find it hideous. It's a shame, if you ask me, that any creature should have to feel that way.
[He genuinely feels bad for the little thing.]
So what you are suggesting is that I need to figure out what works best for this particular little creature.
Re: Video (So many wonderful creatures to meet and learn about!)
*only a few hours? Psh, that's nothing...*
Ah, so you mean in specific cases? That's hard to say. It's possible the accounts in the pokedex are more or less accurate, but then again, they could be merely exaggerations or rumor. For example, cubone is said to wear the skull of its deceased mother, however, all cubone hatch with said skulls, which suggests it may be an inherent part of them.

So most of what's held in the index is probably just tales of sorts that have been passed down to explain the oddities with the Pokemon.
[How interesting. It makes him wonder if there's a proper guide in the works or if everyone simply relies on the Pokedex.]
I suppose that means I just have to see what I can figure out myself.

*really, the moral here is just take everything with a grain of salt*

Certain circumstances? Such as?
