Quotes

Pokémon Black and White

"I'm Snorlax. No, no! I'm the Planner! I don't mean to butt in, but the item Leftovers is important, isn't it?"

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

• Before battle

"I'm Snorlax. No, no! I'm the Planner! I don't mean to butt in, but the item Leftovers is important, isn't it? It's pretty useful in battle. Do you want to battle and test it?"

No: "No?! Really? My Pokémon are pretty, though..."

Yes: "I like to win using my favorite Pokémon!"

• Being defeated

"Ah... I see... That was quite well thought out."

• After being defeated

"Awww! What great Pokémon! The great number of steps seems to have increased their trust in you... I hope we can battle again tomorrow."
