[Okay, the chaos at the base has finally settled down and the network is back to normal. Time to make a post he's been meaning to make...
The video begins with a shot of the evereye-searing flashy Dist from across a table in some nondescript location. Those seem to be pretty common, don't they? On that table rests various evolutionary items: a Razor Claw, Dubious Disc, Dusk Stone, and a Metal Coat which Dist is rolling in his free hand.]
Network, let's talk about evolutionary items. Not how they work, because I am sure that has been speculated to death. I'd like to ask why. Specifically, why do they only work on certain Pokemon? Some make sense, such as the Magmarizer which is obviously geared toward a Magmar. And of course, a Thunderstone would only apply to an Electric type Pokemon.
But what about the Razor Claw? [He sets the Metal Coat down and picks up the claw, examining it in front of the 'Gear's camera.] There are plenty of clawed Pokemon this could apply to, and yet apparently only Sneasel actually make use of it. I'm sure you saw my Metal Coat just now; that is another intriguing one. Currently, only two noted Pokemon have adapted and taken on a metal coating to achieve extra defense.
[Now that he's given enough examples, he sets the Razor Claw down and leans back a bit, propping his chin up with his hand.]
Do you ever wonder if there may be more Pokemon out there ready to use these items to their advantage? Perhaps some Pokemon already have the capability but have yet to be introduced to these items. [A small smile spreads across his lips.] Wouldn't it be absolutely thrilling to be the first to discover a brand new evolution unknown to the masses?
[After letting those words sink in, he ends the video.]
[private video to fellow Rocket scientists]
Speaking of evolution, is anyone in the Goldenrod base available at the moment? [He reaches for that Metal Coat again.] I am about to begin the initial testing for my current project, and a second person is necessary for it.
[Insincerely,] Many thanks.

[video - private] ugh I'm sorry for delays, I've been sick
Is that so? Some seem convinced this place has a bit of a sick sense of humor when it comes to passing out their starting companions; I say it tends to give people exactly what they deserve, more often than not.
[SAYS HE WHO STARTED WITH THE GIANT STEEL/PSYCHIC PSEUDOLEGENDARY...]
[video - private] Not a problem! I saw your Plurks. Hope you're feeling better.
And what did you end up with, Descole?
[video - private] I am, yes! Thanks ♥
[video - private] Good to hear. C:
As a matter of fact, I am. I happen to have a Metang of my own. I must say, that is quite a good Pokemon to begin with.

[HE KIND OF WANTED TO KICK IT FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE FIRST TWO STAGES BECAUSE IT DID A WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING FOR THE FIRST AND THE SECOND JUST MADE HIM LINEFACE
but it is awesome now
and that is what matters]

That's certainly good to know. When I initially looked into it, I had a feeling it would be very useful. It's nice to have some confirmation.
