I have been doing a lot of thinking lately. Mainly about the newcomers arriving in New Bark Town.

After the massive snowstorm that came in before the holidays, I think we can all agree there has to be a better contingency plan to get new arrivals the proper help they need to get by. Maybe there is a way we can get information out to them better. I'm open to suggestion but here is what I'm proposing:

A basic survival guide. We already have a guide outlining the wildlife here but nothing about basic wilderness survival. Under these conditions, having a sleeping bag is not enough to get by through the night.

To be honest, besides learning it from others, I do not know the first thing about surviving the outdoors. But I know there are others out there who do. If we all pool our resources together we can make something that will save any newcomer a whole lot of grief.

Now I'm willing to compile the information together. All I need is a little help with the legwork here so to speak. Here are a few items to give everyone an idea:

1.) Weathering your campsite
2.) Building a fire from scratch
3.) Geo-navigation
4.) Notable Wild Pokémon Dangers
5.) Storm/Severe Weather Preparation

Now I may have unintentionally left some subjects out. But if this is something you're interested in then send me a message.

[For those of you who are messaging Jayden via video be prepared to see a man all scratched up in the face from his new baby shiny Torchic he got for Christmas. Who knew baby fire chickens like to play peck the shit out of Jayden's face as soon as it hatches? So far the winning nickname for this little guy is SHOO!

Frankly, I'm surprised some enterprising trainer or breeder hasn't moved to New Bark and set up a transit service or Rent-a-Pokemon outlet for new arrivals. I certainly would've used it on my first day.

You could say that. I mailed a package for you on his behalf a few weeks ago.

I don't have a clue either. Besides the obvious two occupations here there is not much to do beyond that. Having a business like that would make all of this a whole lot easier.

I guess I should thank you also. Everything inside that package was useful in more ways than one. Give him my regards.

It's rare to find that sort of initiative around here, unfortunately. Rarer than it should be.

Rest assured, he'll get them. How far along are you by now?

I arrived in Violet City not too long ago. Spent a good chunk of my time trying to get here. I wouldn't recommend welcoming the New Year this way.

[Unless you're feeling adventurous, Carmen. Then do you, b.]

Violet is a beautiful city. If you've a mind to try your hand at teaching, there's an academy there with enough willing students to fill a classroom, and they pay well. Better than the other entry-level jobs around will.

[Speaking as someone who knows firsthand.]

If you're willing to brave the snow, you're right near the Ruins of Alph, too. They're worth a visit, if you don't mind taking your chances on crossing paths with a particularly amorous Stantler.

Thanks for the suggestion. Think I will hold off doing any expeditions for a while. Not until I'm fully restocked.

[Maybe even get a Zephyr Badge but Nahman ain't sayin' nothin' about it.]

Can't see myself as a teacher though. I don't know the first thing about grabbing people's attention.

[Let alone a bunch of smartass cops in Philly :/]

Oh? You managed to grab mine.

There is a difference to it. Every lesson needs a hook to them. I'm only compiling information into a smaller package. Not exactly a seminar on Man vs. The Outdoors.
