[ After some mistletoe-induced spilling of truths he'd rather have kept to himself, Joshua has paused his mischief making to ask his traditional new years slash birthday question to the village. ]

Do you think you look for different qualities in the friends you have here as compared to the friends you have back in your own world?

But why not? They may be jerks but even they should have someone to support them. And sometimes they aren't jerks when y' get t' know 'em better.

[Video]

[neverplaysfair]

Because it's not their responsibility to put up with jerks.

[Video]

[friendshipfirst]

But that doesn't help 'em not be jerks.

[ Some jerks are just lonely or something ok ]

[Video]

[neverplaysfair]

It's not their responsibility to care about making them not jerks, either.

[Video]

[friendshipfirst]

[ wow. Jerk. ]

Well even if y' don't like someone when y' first meet 'em you might become friends with 'em later.

[Video]

[neverplaysfair]

On the other hand, you might not. Are you saying people are obligated to wait out the frustration before they find out which one is the case?

[Video]

[friendshipfirst]

[ What ]

People don't havta give 'em a chance. But I do.

[Video]

[neverplaysfair]

And some people don't. That's why they might have had to change how they pick their friends here.

[Video]

[friendshipfirst]

Well I'm not gonna change how I pick my friends.

[Video]

[neverplaysfair]

That's very generous of you. But don't be surprised if you find it harder to do so in this place.

[Video]

[friendshipfirst]

Yeah? Doesn't matter t' me! I'll make friends the same way I always have!

[Video]

[neverplaysfair]

And just how is that?

[Video]

[friendshipfirst]

Uh ...

[ Gee he never thought about it ]

Talkin' to people and gettin' to know 'em!

[ Yep there we go ]

[Video]

[neverplaysfair]

... Are you aware that that's also how people can make enemies?

[Video]

[friendshipfirst]

Yea but that's 'cause those people have bad ideas like stealin' or hurtin' someone!

[Video]

[neverplaysfair]

It's not always so clear-cut. Maybe two people just disagree about something they can't come to a compromise on. Maybe their perspectives are too different.

[Video]

[friendshipfirst]

I know that! But sometimes you can still make friends with someone with a different view than you! And maybe one day you can help them change their views!

[Video]

[neverplaysfair]

Are you saying you're never wrong?

[Video]

[friendshipfirst]

No. I still have a lot t' learn. But I still respect my Pokemon and treat them th' way they're suppose t' be treated!

[Video]

[neverplaysfair]

Then why do you think their view is the one that necessarily needs to be changed?

[Video]

[friendshipfirst]

Well I understand the want t' be strong. I wanna be as strong as I can be! But y' don't do that by mistreatin' your Pokemon and havin' an attitude.

[Video]

[neverplaysfair]

Who said anything about either of those? There's other things to not be compromised on as well.

[Video]

[friendshipfirst]

Like what? Stealin'? It's not nice to steal either.

[Video]

[neverplaysfair]

Like their beliefs. Their views. The way they see the world. Two people, neither right nor wrong, but looking at things from different perspectives in a way that means they don't see eye-to-eye.

[Video]

[friendshipfirst]

So? Just 'cause people don't see eye-to-eye doesn't mean they can't be friends.
