I think the pokedex should be a Gadget and not a phone, let alone a phone that's a creature

yesssss that rules!!!

confirmed, confirmed

look at how max drew her...

I have spent a non-zero amount of time considering his food preferences and sensitivities

his loves in life are bugs, learning illegal magic, being alone in the woods (quiet), trespassing (it's ok because I am doing it in a very cautious and non-disruptive way driven by pure curiosity), and managing household finances

like I'm not going to go down the checklist but the fact that he's found his life's calling as an assistant to a necromancer who is also on the spectrum says most of what I would say

Job hunting is so fucking soulcrushing, I am so sorry

Oh no, seriously? :(
