Huh, mildly retarded... Well, Terra's indeed giving off the image to me that he's getting along despite it, which is pretty neat to see - though I wonder for how long... I don't feel that scoring high Insight and Knowledge is directly linked to intelligence, neither in the means of IQ nor EQ, more like 'indirectly' or 'vaguely'. I still feel a little sorry for him though, so I'd happily help him widening his horizont a little or being less dense by sharing stories, experiences, train together or whatever would do the trick, regardless whether he levels-up due to that or not (your choice, really!). Shiva's definitely patient and insightful enough.

You know what I feel would be cool to see? Him joining and watching how she is trying to convince a wild Pokemon joining her without any battle, as you said that's something he neither knows nor is good at, wonder how he'd react to seeing her doing such a thing. How does that sound, would you/he be interested?

His parents and the few people that helped him learn despite his slowness made sure he'd be a well enough adjusted individual in society, and know enough not to act like a total fool or incompetent with others. Go good nurturing! Still, his lifestyle, atrocious Insight, and low intelligence makes it difficult to socialize and/or bond with others, so he'd be happy to get all the help he can in that department! He likes talking and interacting with others, even if he doesn't look like the type for such!

Its not that he ISN'T aware of Diplomacy with Pokemon, but its just something that he never though to do, since he's rather aware he's FAR more a fighter than a smooth talker. He'd be willing to join Shiva to do as you said, and he'd be pleasantly surprised + make him admire her even more, but it wouldn't be a mind blowing revelation. He'll continue catching Pokémon the 'Beating into Submission' way, since that method is almost guaranteed to work, and he usually sells off the Pokémon he catches! Duskull's an exception, since its on my wishlist, and he wasn't likely to get another one via any other way.
