I thought that too. They'll eat the food I give them and stick close enough that I can keep an eye on them, but otherwise I can't seem to get much closer. They won't get close to my Cubone either. But my Budew seems to have befriended them.

I've never heard of anything like this happening before so I wanted to see if anyone else might've known. Thank you.

I'm glad those are still going on! I don't know what I'd do if it turned out that they didn't happen anymore and I was stuck with a comatose partner. [And now Tifa's a bit serious]

I'd like to hear any concerns you might have, though.
