Sakugarne and Quint talk to each other but the way it goes, while Sakugarne is very expressive, they don't actually ever talk--Quint just intuitively picks what they mean in a mostly one-sided conversation. Basically the same rules I usually use for a lot of Pokemon/MM fanfics.
No one asked but the Pickmen in that story (and Pumpy K whenever I use him) are sort of middlemen between the lower robots and robot masters. Like a robotic chain of command.
But while I was thinking about this AU, I made the connection between the normal Pokemon universe and the PMD one where the pokemon talk and quite literally yesterday, I thought, "wait then why doesn't Sakugarne talk?" So they talk now. A lot. And...wow, okay this autocomplete or whatever will automatically suggest Sakugarne after I wrote it in this post but will STILL refuse to put the special e in Cafe Woman no matter how many times I put iin it. Fuck off!
i froth at the mouth whenever quint is relevant im eternally grateful that he’s rather important in recut ;w; thank u. while i’m talking about him, is sakugarne (his pogo-jackhammer) going to be mentioned? (is that a thing i’m allowed to ask? lol)
hey, it's me, quint. from mega man. im looking for my brothers (the mega man killers + sakugarne) specifically, but don't be afraid to reach out if you're anyone else. I'm @rkn-000.
