Hi, everyone. My name is Arven and I'm a Pokรฉmon trainer from Paldea. Seeing as this place has a lot of Pokรฉmon, I thought I'd offer you some nutrition advice. I'll say that I'm not a qualified expert, but I have done my fair share of food research.
[For reasons he won't get into. Next to him is his trusty partner Mabosstiff who seems to be enjoying a sandwich Arven made him.]All Pokรฉmon have their own favorite type of food. Usually, they're categorized into sweet, spicy, bitter, sour and salty. Even among the same Pokรฉmon species they might enjoy different kind of food.
My Mabosstiff here enjoys more salty and savory than sweet food.
[He pets Mabosstiff gently and the Pokรฉmon barks contently.]It's worth testing different kind of food with them, as the Pokรฉmon tend to become more friendly the more food they like you give them. Some Pokรฉmon even evolve because of how friendly they are towards you.
Of course the Pokรฉmon food and treats Riki's Shop gives out is fine, but everyone deserves a little variety, right?
[Is that a hint of a smile? It's a little smile. He might take a while to actually properly open up to smile in general.]Anyway, that's all I had to say.
