I looked at the date today, and I thought it would be fitting to bring up something I've been wondering for a while.
[It's been a while since Elsa got contemplative over the network. Thankfully, Elsa doesn't look all that upset or nervous, so it's nothing serious!]
Years pass here, and we all age. This is my second birthday in Johto; according to the calendar, I should be twenty-three today.
But that's only compared to how time passes here. What about back home? If we return home after spending years here, do we return as we were when we were first brought here? Or do we just... return to our land older, as we are now? I can't imagine how that might change things in our worlds, even if we have no memories of this place when we go home.
[... Okay yeah it did get kind of deep.]
It's curious, isn't it? Especially when one's taken from a date that doesn't match the date here when they first arrive.

[That's probably a whole different conversation though. Oh, the oddities of the PokeWorld!
Oh whoops, looks like he lost her with that one...though honestly, he very likely lost himself with that explanation.]
That's true, I guess. But the hard part is...it's kinda hard to imagine turning twenty-three= [He pauses for a split second. Wow, he really said his age aloud.] Then going back to twenty-two...then back to almost twenty-four? It's like I have a have separate, older body frozen in time here while I'm back home!
[He's really not making this any easier to wrap ones head around, is he.]
[video]
[A shudder. She still doesn't understand that, and she's not sure she wants to.]
Separate... bodies. Do you think that's possible?
[video]
[No one will ever understand- Seriously, Skitty and Wailord?
As for Elsa's question, he just shrugs.]
It's not like Doppelgangers are a totally crazy concept. This wouldn't be that exactly, though...but it wouldn't be a clone situation either. I guess you'd just think of it as being in two places at once, but you can only control one body at a time.

[She's not sure if that makes things better or worse, but it certainly makes thinking too hard about it a bit impossible.]
