that much time has passed since...literally any point in my life. So that might have influenced me, and likely others here...

//Fully get that. Once gotten to an "18+"-border and thinking about oh, do I really wanna trick my way through, before realizing...I was actually already...quite a bit older.

From what I know, a side effect from ADHD is not having a grasp of time, be it forward or backward, so...it never feels like

He wondered, if he maybe needed to follow Marys advice and start carrying autographs...

//Happy to provide both, btw, if you're interested^^

//Understood. I'm still making my Pinned later, but let it be known that I am above 21, at least.

Not a fan of giving away too much private information, but I understand needing to know that, at least.

//I think a good brain needs both...the challenge of a very intricate RP, and the simplicity of quick, short bursts.

//They are not excluding each other, and can both be valid depending on mood, muse and the partner.

"...you do know, it is for Pokémon, right?"

He looked at him, a bit concerned.

//I hate disappointing people.

Will be back later, sorry, mood dipped a bit.

"Oh? Still my classic model, I see. I thought nowadays everyone switched to Rotom Phones..."

He smiled and opened the Pokédex, looking at the general data, before skipping through the individual Pokémon seen and caught...what would he find out?

(Not deciding your numbers for you^^)

He chuckled a bit.

"How may I help you, young lady?"

"I believe I hear my name!"

//Personally, I did not expect that my random post about Rare Candies would be the first Icebreaker for the Account.

Personally, I'd advice to general caution, as with everything, but not too much worry. The signs we do have show no additional harm through the consumption itself..."

just don't have a sample size large enough for a full study. Rare Candies...are in limited supply, and as such too expensive for any researcher. Additionally, there is little reason to approve funding, if it would be for knowledge, that won't be applicable, as the Rare Candies continue to dwindle in

But the majority of those who use Rare Candies in high amounts are also the ones who gathered their teams through means of Trading...meaning the amount of behavioral problems are already higher, as it is.

This doesn't mean the Rare Candies could not have an additional effect...but the truth is, we

"The problems the Pokémon face from too many rare candies are consistent to problems they would have, if they grew too strong by other means as well...usually, the only problem people would have will be the inability of the Pokémon to know their own strength, or a certain amount of arrogance.

He folded his arms and nodded, as he started on this lecture.

can command a power stronger than it in battle.

As a result, Pokémon have an innate trust in the trainer that managed to capture it.

This means, however, that a trainer who gained the Pokémon through a trade, needs to prove it's capabilities in other ways...and if they don't, the Pokémon will be

"Pokémon follow a trainer out of trust. This trust can come from various sources, but the most basic one is it's trust in their trainers capabilities to raise it in fights. They fight against a trainer, not because they don't want to join a trainer, but because they need the trainer to prove, they

//I wish I could talk to the person and find out, what is wrong, but...well, that's the very nature of the problem, I can't.

"That's good. There is nothing wrong with using them", he said, smiling at him.

"Just know that they are a rare commodity and not to be wasted."

//It's sad, yeah. Though there is one person who seems to do so especially excessively, deleting his Accounts after a day or two...he kinda brings the average up for me in particular lately...

He shook his head. "That aside, we couldn't find any side-effects so far."

He sighed.

"The consumption is...not a problem. At least according to our knowledge...there is a reason it has rarely been studied. Observation from usage shows, that some Pokémon show behavioral problems after too much consumption, but those also correlate with their sudden rise in power..."
