4th Gen What's he doing?

[Milke]

When you save the game, your character bends over and faces the screen. What is he/she doing? Saving it with a poketch app? Ducking? What do you think?

 

[Sketchies]

He's down on one knee. It's not that crazy, it's like he's resting or something.

 

[Cyndahog]

I also used to wonder why too, it looks kinda awkward, but like Sketchies said, he is resting.

Now I think differently of Pokémon players. Though we still don't eat or use the toilets. Is there any? =S

 

[Psyburn]

I thought he was using his watch

 

[kissing. raindrops]

I think he's doing that to think about what all happened since the last time you saved. =D

 

[msdmario]

My guess is he is recording everything you did in the journal that your mom gives you at the beginning of the game.

 

[Vie]

he is writing down the stuff that u read when you haven't been playing for a while.

 

[Serene Grace]

I thought he was writing in his journal. The way he's positioned, he looks like he's almost writing something.

 

[RedDialga]

He's down on one knee. It's not that crazy, it's like he's resting or something.

Hm... now that I remember, I kinda seem to recall him rasing the arm he has the poketch on, or maybe it's just me. But still, when you load the game, he doesn't appear like that.​

 

[zerwey]

I've figured it out: He is sitting with legs crossed, with his head resting on his hand, like he's bored and waiting for the saving to end. All humans do that.

 

[Zelda]

Well when you tap the poketch screen the character moves into a position where it looks like he/she is touching the poketch.

When you save the game he/she sits down like if he/she is taking a rest by 'saving'.

 

[The Red Chain]

I think he is getting on one knee to take a rest while you save..
I mean it's gotta be tiring standing 24-7. [/literally]

 

[Melody]

To me, the pose the sprite takes when you save, and the pose the sprite takes when you use the poketch are the same, so I assume he's interacting with the poketch in some way.

 

[Gymnotide]

He's writing in the Journal.
edit or she.

 

[-Leaf]

Writing things in the journal. i clearly see that. and i'm supposed to be lacking an eye (i can see only using one. the other one sees everything blurry as x8798 motion blur)

 

[Beelzebub]

I always thought he was just leaning down doing something to wait for that long save to end. I never though about what, though.

 

[zerwey]

Oh, then he's writing in the Journal...I see...that makes sense. Ok.

 

[El Diabeetus]

In the Japanese version "Save" is called "Report" and the Japanese version says something like "Writing the report..." if that answers your question.

 

[Speed]

I always thought he/she was just taking a rest. But I guess we'll never know. xD

 

[s0nido]

I always thought he was writing something in his Poketch, or using it to save or something. It seems like it, as he's holding up his hand.
