This was a fun first round of secrets, everyone! Gym leader and trainer alike, it was very fun reading all of your submissions and we would like to thank you on behalf of the entire EV News Staff! The love, the heartbreak, the friendship, the deep, dark, secrets!

   - EV Editors


This was a fun first round! We'd like to issue a reminder that for whenever we choose to do this again, please submit your secrets in image form, as we will not be turning text secrets into images ourselves. We did a few this time, but next time they will be omitted.

The secrets will be broadcast via Pokégear as a slideshow, which one can pause and skip as wished. Questions, comments, etc. go here. Thank you for participating! Sorry about the short notice; next time, we'll think ahead of time.

You're free to use this post for IC reactions if you'd like, and if you put "Anonymous" in the header of your comment it will ICly show up as such. It'll count for AC!

Looks as though someone has a crush on you.

Obito, I had no idea you were so popular with the ladies. [YOU ARE GOING TO BE TEASED TO HELL AND BACK JUST SO YOU KNOW]

15 thats pretty rude! :o

21 eggs are a big responsibility yes

24 i hope to read your stories someday then

26 thats adorable :)

36 i am sure that is not the case at all!

37 no i remember it

40 relationships can be hard

48 hi john

response to 15

He's downright angelic, isn't he? Pure as freshly tainted snow, passionate as his tears. It's quite beautiful.

[wontturntostone]

You Are Welcome

And I Am Quite Glad This Opportunity Arose

[ortion]

[Someone is sticking up for him and calling him nice. HOW DOES DIST HANDLE THIS, THIS NEVER HAPPENS...]

Thank you, Aradia. It truly is very rude. That secret maker has a lot of nerve.

hahahaha very funny sis
april fools day was weeks ago

[tentacletrainer]

Thank you for informing me of the date, but I'm not sure what that has to do with the secret you're referring to, brother dear.

[islandshore]

1. This is how I feel all the time. Great as it is to have a whole world to explore, grouping up can be a real pain.

3. I don't know. They've always looked pretty tacky to me.

5. It's the Pokédex entry, isn't it?

6. ...Man, you're from John's world, aren't you?

7. Pretty sure that goes for everybody.

9. Sheesh. Are Karrablasts really that bad?

12. Try telling that to the Rockets.

13. What does this even mean?

25. Dart does the same thing. You try waking up with a creepy frog staring into your soul... It's not exactly pretty.

31. Wait, you can't control your body?

32. So now the question is, who's more insane? Whitney's kind of a tough act to beat.

33, 34. Why the rabbits?

Still, the best way to become stronger is to just keep pushing. That's how I feel, anyway.

35. Even male ones?

37. Well, given how tough they were, I can't really blame you. I wonder if anyone's actually stood up to a Legendary and won.

50. Gee, that's nice.

[anonymous text]

[pianosongs]

In Response to 9: It may depend on how hyper they get, but... I sympathize with the secret-maker.

[Blake scrolls through]

Stupid, stupid, the hell is a bunch of footprints supposed to mean, stupid, who cares, we're all too old for this, stupid, a foxmonster isn't anybody's mom no matter how many tails it has, stupid, damn right nobody gives a...

[His voice trails off. There's a look on his face like he's been punched in the stomach.]

[video]

[icansolvethemtoo]

[Flora actually looks a little saddened by it. BRB giving herself away.]

I'm sure the secret maker knows it's not a mother, but... You can't blame them for feeling that way if the pokémon is caring like one, can you?

1/2 video reaction

[teablossom]

[There's a few moments of just staring surprised... And then she thinks to just turn off her gear.

There's little to coherently say in words.]

texts (separately posted)

[teablossom]

01. Completely agree, anon.

07. Doesn't crying just say she's taking you and what's happening seriously?

09. I've had similar concerns about poison-types. I hope you find a solution soon.

[[deleted reply to 16.]]

22. ...if you're wondering, why not bring it up yourself? Nothing will change if no one does.

24. I wonder if there's a publisher here in this world. Maybe you could use the gear?

25. Perhaps it's clear by now that it's just looking out for you?

[[deleted reply to 31.]]

37. What "End of the World" thing?

43. Delicious, aren't they?

52. Don't we all?

video;

[fonic_sight]

[Jade's just chuckling.]

It would behoove anyone to follow the advice in secret 39. I am truly as despicable and sneaky as an ekans in the grass. Honestly, it's a marvel that I haven't been recruited by Team Rocket, isn't it?

But that would create many more momoments, wouldn't it, Saphir?

DON'T EVEN START. IT WAS A MISTAKE, FOR YULIA'S SAKE! I DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL--

To the writer of 42:
Why.

[usedlaserbeam]

I'd like to know the same thing, admittedly.

[digital_bingo]

It's okay, Falkner! I care! All of us bird-trainers do!

[Text]

[babel_hacker]

1. It's pretty great to get together, but it can be a lot of work to plan it.

9. Whoa, that bad huh?

12. Aw, that's so nice to hear! Everyone, right?

13. ...What?

22. Just try and start talking. If you don't, you might never get a chance again.

36. That's not the case of it. They're your friends, so why would they push you away?

44. Good luck! If your dad ever comes, I'm sure he'll be proud of you. [...Man, when's the last time he talk to his own parents outside of emails and IMs?]

46. Take a chance and ask for a battle! They'd most likely agree to one with you.

50. Nice.

re: 44; anonymous text

[neededlassie]

I really hope so.
I love my friends, but I'd really like to see him again.

1/2 [NOT HERE (for now)]

[dreamsofahero]

*was just letting the images scroll by, pausing to read the more interesting-looking ones or puzzle over the more vague ones, but nearly let the 13th slide by before something about one of the footprints caught his eye...

an Absol, a print he's quite familiar with, clear and distinct by the "drawing" in the corner, and while he's certainly not the only trainer with an absol, curiosity and not a little suspicion means the image warrants a second look, carefully examining and counting all the various footprints......*

[VIDEO]

[dreamsofahero]

Ah... I think I know who might have made number 13.

[text]

[ragnarok_strike]

1. It would be nice to see more of my buddies, but at least we can see them on our phones. It'd be worse if we didn't have that, you know?

4. You too? I kind of wish I had less, but they're all like my kids. I love them all the same! Even when they attack me - which some of them do, mind you! Maybe I should have asked about that secretly...

12. I'm glad you're here too! I'm sure it's the same way for everybody - I mean, unless you've been harrasing people.

...Have you?

13. ...Wonder if any of my Pokemon can read footprints.

16. I'm sure she will one day.
[Laguna, though, is worried. What if somebody he knows vanishes, and keeps on appearing?

Not that this comes though in text, of course.]
You've just gotta keep on hoping - and I will too!

24. Really? Those actually sound pretty interesting - being an author and all that! If you want a guy to check them out, I'd be willing to. I wouldn't judge - I would critique, but I wouldn't judge.

31. ...Hey, I'm sure you'll be yourself. But it's normal to feel homesick - I feel it too, even though I wouldn't be trapped away - I can't help but think about home, and my family, while I'm around my friends. Maybe all of us homesick people should get together and talk about our homes - it might make us feel better.

44. Hey - I'm sure your dad misses you too. Don't worry - I'm sure he'll be proud. I'd be proud of you, if I knew who you were! :)

[neededlassie]

[Here Laguna just have a very sad little boy scrubbing at his eyes and trying really hard not to cry over your response to 44. Hi OP.]

You mean it?

[anon text]

[aburame]

5. Why is that? Do you find them "creepy"?

text reaction;

[ghostytrainer]

4. are you me?

6 and 20. rose, you are sleeping on the couch tonight. dave was the target, you weren't supposed to drag me into this!!! >:(

16. :(

44. i'm sure he's proud of you. dads are good at that. and hopefully one day he will make it here for you.

text reaction;

[moveslikestrider]

oh so youre in on this too
you should know better man
you involve lalonde and we all go down with the ship

[text]

[failures]

1. Totally agreed! It was cool to see my friends again at the prom though.

7. You should try to get to know her anyway! She's nice when she's done crying.

16. Man, I could've written this in my sleep. Just keep trucking, anon! Maybe she'll come back and stay one day.

18. She really is cool, huh?

25. ... That's really creepy, dude.

30. This has got to be the deepest secret here.

35. If you were raised by animals, I guess.

37. I could say the same thing about certain other Pokemon too, but I prefer to not talk about them and bring back bad memories.

42. Oh my god, I'm going to use this the next time I get the chance.

50. I stand corrected. This is the deepest secret.

37 OP Anon

[ragnarok_strike]

So, this isn't the first time that creatures like that have attacked? Well, if you ever feel like talking about it, I would be interested! I've only been around long enough to see those three.
[how will larry contact you if you're anon, laguna.]

[text]

[hopeboy]

4. I suppose you can spend equal time with them? I have lots of Pokemon too, but I try hard to devise a schedule.

18. Ah, I'd have to agree. Clair-san is amazing!

27. .... I really should have done the same thing.
