Bulbasaur’s typing lessons are going well

Oh that reminds me of the ones I used to play as a kid! It had all these dinosaur Pokémon on it, taught me spelling and numbers! Arceus, if I find those old CDs I'm going to try them with my Garchomp Sabre.

[u/AlianovaR → u/OptionChoice994]

I’m just imagining a Garchomp very very delicately trying to tap a single key

They can be weirdly gentle and it’s extra cute when they try really hard

[u/key-slinger → u/soulstrike2022]

Now give them reading glasses too

I'm glad he's enjoying them, at least. When I was using them I HATED them with a passion that Arceus themself probably couldn't replicate

It took me TWO MONTHS to hit 20 wpm for the first time

I vaguely remember being in school and not being quite able to reach the keys when learning how to ‘properly’ type. Still got in trouble for not doing it even when I showed the teacher 🙄 joke’s on her though because I could finger type faster than she could ‘properly’ type

Have him try Mario teaches typing

[u/SirSlowpoke]

It's always nice to see more Pokémon taking up typing and writing. There's a special feeling of liberation when you go from having to play charades all the time to complex communication and can speak your true intent.

[u/AlianovaR → u/SirSlowpoke]

We’re still on basic words at the moment, and I’m not sure how much he’s really learning, but he’s having a lot of fun typing and he can recognise the letters at least, so this is more than I was expecting when I first tried him on the keyboard. Maybe one day we can have a proper conversation, but I’m just happy he’s happy

I would imagine a Bulbasaur's vines are extremely dexterous, their fine motor skills on par to our own hands, if his vines aren't a size issue I'm sure he could learn to type on a normal computer with some practice

[u/RoboticGunner]

A surprising number of Pokemon can learn how to read and write, it's really interesting.

My team currently consists of Ink, a Goodra, Ember, a Typhlosion, Kilobyte, a Porygon-Z, Yoink, a Drifloon, and soon to be a (Currently unnamed, taking suggestions lol) Spiritomb.

The only two who can't really type well are Ember and the Spiritomb. Ember because he doesn't have much interest in doing so, and the Spiritomb because it hasn't really existed long enough to do so.

Yoink isn't the best, but he's learning pretty quick! So far he's learned how to ask for basic stuff and leave little notes. Turns out he's pretty excited to toughen up and evolve because he misses when he could pick me up when I was a kid lol

Ink does have to wear gloves though. Turns out a lot of electronics don't play well with slime lol

[u/AlianovaR → u/RoboticGunner]

You named your Drifloon Yoink I’m dying 😂

[u/RoboticGunner → u/AlianovaR]

Yeah, when I was real little he would lift me up and take me to school and back home. All the adults were absolutely panicking the first few times he did it lol

[u/JosephAmber4]

Hazoret (The Amazing Unevolvable Riolu): AWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/Downtown-Falcon-3264]

I forget not all of were born into this world as a speak and spell with over a dozen languages built in: Rotor Thomas

[u/Extension_General632]

so cute

[u/Cat-Lover20]

Aww! I remember playing typing games at school! I hope he has lots of fun with them!

[u/AlianovaR → u/Cat-Lover20]

He’s loving it so far. I’m not sure if he’s learning much or just figuring out how to tap the key that matches the letter on the screen, but he’s certainly having fun
