I’m sure that in the Pokémon universe there’s probably weird little kids who carry around Banette like plushies, like hugging them and dragging them around behind them and stuff. It’s probably a really positive relationship for the kid and the Banette, but it must be the absolute freakiest shit for everyone else.
Imagine being lost and alone in like a dark hotel or hospital hallway or something at 2AM, only to turn a corner and come across a weird little kid who doesn’t talk to you and just sort of stands there looking at you. And then you notice that the plushie they have with them is slowly turning to look at you, twitching and making quiet but still scary noises. Neither of them are blinking, and when the toy finally makes eye contact with you, you feel a shiver run down your spine, you begin to cold sweat as your stomach ties in knots.
It’s gotta be the most unnerving shit. Again, probably great for the kid and the Banette (pre-evaluation mon Shuppet is drawn to negative emotions, so to have come into contact with a Banette the kid’s home life probably isn’t great. Banette is also a malice filled abandoned toy who can be fixed if it is loved and cared for, and probably greatly enjoys being used as a kids toy again), but it has to be so fucking scary to encounter these kids just waking around at the middle of the night because their best friend is a haunted doll.
