Third Flake [video]

[One day, Elsa will make a post to the network that doesn't involve questioning everyone. Today? not really one of those days.]

I'm sorry I've asked so many questions every time I post messages here. After being here for over a month, one would think that I knew enough to not need to ask so many questions. But this is just... something I haven't seen before. So I have to ask.

[The camera shifts from Elsa's face down to her lap. Wriggling happily upon it, nose pushing against her palm as it snuffles curiously, is a Dratini. But there's something a little.... odd about it.]

Do pokemon come in different colors? From what I've been able to tell with others of the species I've seen, it hasn't been the case, but this little one hatched today, and she's.... different, from the pictures I've seen of this species. Is this normal?

It certainly seems a narrow-minded way of looking at it, yes. But it's also quite true that people will often assign more value to something because it's rarer or more difficult to obtain. Precious stones and metals, for example; while any of them can be considered beautiful, people will pay far more for those that are the most rare than those that are the most common...
