[The camerawork in this video is... actually fairly professional, because it's being held in place by a Psychic Pokemon who will levitate whatever he pleases. It's outside the department store in Goldenrod, and Micchy is wearing a coat that... doesn't quite go with his shoes but you know what, he's trying.]

[But the focus is less on the coat and more on the Mareep that Micchy is... doing his best to wrestle into a sweater. It's not exactly cut for something with four legs but he's doing his damndest to get it into the thing.]

Come on, it'll keep you warm!

Maaa!

Don't give me that, your wool is going to get wet and then you'll be really unhappy and the static will get everywhere.

Maaa maareep!

Come on, please?

Reep!

[A laugh of Kaa kaadabraaa! can be heard behind the camera, and Micchy looks up to see Yoshiro filming them, his eyes wide.]

H-hey! Turn that off now!

[He reaches for the Pokegear and snatches it out of the Psychic-type's clutches, turning the video off.]

Maybe she doesn't like it because that sweater is ugly.

_{[wRATH THAT'S NOT POLITE]}

[grapeeater]

[NO WRATH THAT'S REALLY NOT.]

It looks a lot like a sweater my brother got for me. It's not ugly.

[Wrath do we need to have another fashion lesson?]

[garbagechild]

Are you sure? It doesn't have enough colors to be pretty.

_{[HE MIGHT NEED ANOTHER FASHION LESSON. And maybe one in color theory.]}

[grapeeater]

If you have too many colors it just looks kind of messy.

[garbagechild]

What?

There's such a thing as too many colors?

_{[Says the kid who's spent most of his life dressed like a Hot Topic reject. OKAY, WRATH.]}

[grapeeater]

Sort of? It's a little hard to define. Fashion is weird.

[garbagechild]

_{[... Well, Micchy, now he's just blinking expectantly at you SO YOU'D BETTER START DEFINING.]}

[grapeeater]

... Basically you don't really want more than a few colors on you at a time. Two is more normal, but three is all right. Otherwise it's kind of hard to look at since it's a mess.

[garbagechild]

What if you like the way messes look?

[grapeeater]

Well... I mean... I guess it's fine if you like it. It's not really considered 'fashionable' but... you can wear whatever you want.

[garbagechild]

Good!

I LIKE colors.

So do my Pokemon!

Maybe your soft yellow one does too.

[grapeeater]

Maybe they do. Maybe I should get my Pachirisu to try to translate since... this one doesn't seem to want to respond very much?

[garbagechild]

Really?

Maybe she's shy.

[grapeeater]

Maybe. I don't really know that much about... uh. Sheep.
