22 days till Halloween [video]

[Hey there, Johto! It’s been a while since we’ve seen the old Pumpkin King. His mun is a sickly weenie forgive her. He’s holding the ‘gear up so that we get a good look at a very…surprised looking Jack.

If one looks a little longer, they may notice he’s not actually that surprised.

It’s just that both his eyebrows are missing.]

Hello! How is everyone? I have a question for anyone who keeps fire pokemon since One is my first.

[The camera is angled down to a chipper little Houndour. He’s wagging his nubby little tail and standing in a scorched circle. Edgar perches behind him on a town bench. Her tail is gone and she is not impress.]

I want him to be proud of himself but…how do I explain that catching everything on fire is not okay outside of battle? It's his new favorite game.

H-haha.. I wish I could help. I never had a problem with that with Typhlosion, even when he was still a Cyndaquil.
Maybe he'll just grow out of it?

... If you get a decent answer to this, tell me.

_{[Because while neither Cujo NOR Carousel did this on a regular basis... Heather was kind of worried that they'd start.]}

[Oh hey, it's that little hell dog Lancer showed her.]

Have you tried to explain it to him verbally?

I believe it's all about stimuli.

You should reward a well behaved pokémon for their behavior, and punish the badly behaved. For example, you can praise your pokémon when they use their fire in a battle, but reprimand them when they do it outside.

Maybe a little pinch here and there, it has worked fine so far with all my pokémon.

Um, maybe you could give him a treat when he DOESN'T set things on fire like you tell him to...!

Yours does that too?

[He laughed at that, honestly amused.]

I wonder if every one of this species is like that.

Perhaps you could keep a water type on hand for a good dousing when it misbehaves.

...uh.

Sirius never does anything like that, so...you're on your own on this one, Jack.

Hmm...

Perhaps try teaching him how to light fire... in a useful way?

Oh, Karen does the same thing. I've just tried letting her know that it makes me sad when she lights things on fire, and she doesn't want to make me upset, so she's been trying to control things.
