Does anyone have any tips on how to help grieving Psychic type Pokemon? Especially when you're not exactly at your most chipper either, so they're picking up on it, and it's just making things worse.

I've tried to give them space, but I don't think it's helping. They weren't originally mine, and I think they're still upset about having lost their previous trainer.

There's not a whole lot you can do but give them your support, I'm afraid.

At least, not as far as I know.

It's tough. Have you had to deal with it before?

The first time I was here, a close friend of mine disappeared. She had a Ghost Pokemon with her...not exactly psychic, but pretty close, you know, with the weird mystical powers and all.

I think it goes without saying that Pokemon form a special bond with their trainers, but once things get into the supernatural...geez.

[ladywithnovoice]

I can imagine. How did you deal with it?

Well, I tried to keep her in my party often. Helped her socialize with my other Pokemon...I had quite a few of them that had come from other trainers, so I think they found comfort in that.

Sometimes I'd talk to her about Maya -- that was her trainer -- but I don't know if that actually HELPED, or if I'm just a good storyteller.

I'm no storyteller, unfortunately, but I'll see what I can do.

I'm sure the rest of my Pokemon will be more than glad to help them feel at home.

The company of other Pokemon is what seems to help best.

They can understand each other better than we can, after all.

[ladywithnovoice]

That's true.

Have you heard of many people who are able to understand their Pokemon? Without the help of a Psychic type.
