Under no circumstances do you have to hand it to them etc but fr sometimes you need the 7 year old to shut up about Pikachu
unlimited 7 year olds talking about pikachu on the first world
Pokémon go to your room
in my experience if you let the 7-year-old infodump about Pikachu for as long as they want at least once, you will be immediately become their favorite uncle and possibly favorite person
the percentage of adults that treat children like people is sadly very low
Once listened to my nephew talk about some Mario game for a hour straight.
My son woke me up at 7 today to tell me he unlocked bowsers castle
congrats to him
I'm proud ngl we just beat it together
damn good job
Pass on our congratulations then
I bet he felt real good about it
It was very funny when his younger brother tried chiming into the screed and was immediately shushed because he still had much to say.
There’s lots of healthy and affirming ways to get a 7 year old to shut up about Pikachu. Redirection is just a skill that parents need to practice. And apparently Vance has a major skill issue.
Yeah there are way cooler Pokémon, like 10% Zygarde, or Corvisquire, or Lombre, or Lumineon, or Alomomola, or Simisage, or Wugtrio
Imagining that Trump on the other end just discovered Pokémon and is also infodumping about Pikachu to Vance

I just had a perfect phone call with Pikachu! Great guy. Some people are saying he likes ketchup very strongly, possibly even more than me. And we like that! We like that. Great work ethic though. They're doing thunderbolt! People say, "oh but what about volt tackle?" and I tell them it's a pretty good move too, but you just can't beat the classic thunderbolt. Who knows, Pikachu might be our next Secretary of Energy. Frankly, he has as good qualifications as Rick Scott did, and nobody knows electricity like Pikachu, I will say that. But Raichu has been treated very unfairly for many years, and it's sad. They went to Aloha or whatever and taught him how to surf, but I said "well what the hell, Pikachu does surfing since the little minigame in the Yellow! Just give Pikachu the light ball, who needs the new Raichu!" But we are doing great things with electric, I will say that.
one more Trump talking about Pikachu shitpost I feel compelled to get out

I went to Galar to meet with the great Boris Johnson for a tremendous meeting and he showed me this incredible thing, they're calling it gigantamaxing. You know what this is? They go bing bing bong on the dynamax band and then, wow, let me tell you! I saw Pikachu do the gigantimax, I turned to Boris, I said WOW, what a big guy! But they were very unfair to Boris over Galarexit, very unfair.
funny but there's no way donald trump hasn't known about pokemon since 1996
Either he's known about it since the absolute beginning or he was completely unaware of it until Barron was 5yo. No in-between.
They changed it in the west from Green to Blue! They took the money color and made it the Democrat color! Not good! I'll stick with Red.
I'm imagining Trump explain how to breed pikachus
For someone obsessed with people having kids, he sure seems like a bad dad
Which might be connected, idk
Why would you not want to have kids? It’s not like it’s hard!!!!!
many such cases 
who the fuck is scraeming "STFU about Pikachu" at my house. show yourself, coward. i will never STFU about Pikachu
Literally me as a kid when I beat pokemon Gold on 9/11
US imperialism comes home to roost: I sleep
My child becomes a pokemon master: real shit!?!
You'll remember this important phone call even when your son dumps you in the cheapest retirement home legally possible
Justice for Little Vance
He's gonna Pokemon Go to the left
Hey son, why don't you Pokemon Go to hell
spoiler
this is not my joke I stole it from somewhere
Family values conservative hates his family, many such cases
The most important phone call of our lifetime.
that childs villain origin story
