So I was talking with a few people and I was wondering - what sort of music does everyone like listening to? I listened to a lot of pop music at home, since I was on a dance team, but I'm just curious as to what everyone else's musical tastes are like.

I'm also wondering something about Riolu evolutions. Mine hasn't evolved yet. I've heard that it's based on 'friendship', but how is that exactly counted? I think I've been pretty nice to mine, but I don't know how it's really counted. Am I missing something?

You'll likely just have to wait. He may evolve soon, in a few months, or not at all.

I've had him since December. I guess he just needs more time.

From:

One of my Pokemon took more than a few months to finally evolve, so.

[It was his Espeon, of course.]

And as I said, not all Pokemon evolve. If he doesn't want to, he may never will.

From:

I see. Maybe he's just happier being how he is.

From:

I'm assuming you do want a Lucario, though, yes? I would try not to settle for just letting him stay the way he is, unless you're willing to just get another Riolu in the future.

From:

I do, but forcing him to be something he doesn't want to be is just going to end badly. He knows I'm his trainer and he knows he should listen to me, but if I force him to evolve and he doesn't want to he probably won't like me very much and it will make it difficult to train him in the future.

From:

unkinder

Still. It sounds like that you don't know yet for sure what he wants.

From:

It's a little bit difficult to ask them. Maybe I can get one of my psychic types to talk to him and translate.

From:

unkinder

That is the first thing I would have done.

[Yet you're the one stuck with a forever Abra, aren't you, Nagi.]

From:

Most of mine don't like talking to me. I don't think I have very good luck with them.

From:

unkinder

Some of them just may not. Anyone who says that all Pokemon are interested in cooperation hasn't trained one who clearly isn't.

From:

grapeeater

I think psychic types in particular are the worst for that. At least that I've found so far.

From:

unkinder

They do have a tendency to be far more...stubborn than most other types. It may have to do with the way they can communicate more easily with us and other Pokemon, as well as sense emotions.
