Thorton/Quotes

These are Thorton's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Initial battle

• Before battle

"Bzweeeeep! Sorry, don't mind me. What I'm using is an invention of mine. It's my data-analyzing machine It's telling me what you've rented for this match. I see! You've rented <Pokémon> , <Pokémon>, and <Pokémon>. I have to say, that's a good setup. Like, say, [random number] percent? Oh, don't let that number concern you! All righty, let's get going!"

• Defeating the player

"See? Just as analyzed."

• Being defeated

"Whoa! You sure showed me!"

• After being defeated

"Hmm... I got handed the loss here. It's not making me happy at all, losing. Even though I'm not happy, I did glean some useful data, I suppose. That makes me glad I battled you. So, did you get to like those Pokémon you rented? As a Factory Head, it would sure make me happy if you did. Next time, come back with different rental Pokémon."

Rematch

• Before battle

"Bzweeeeep! Let's see what I can see about you through my data-analyzing machine. So, what have you rented for this match...? I see! You've rented <Pokémon> , <Pokémon>, and <Pokémon>. I have to say, that's a good setup. It's a combination of friendship with cooperation all around. I'd say it's like [random number] percent? Oh, don't let that number concern you! All righty, let's get going! No losing for me this time!"

• Being defeated

"Whoa! You sure showed me!"

• After being defeated

"Hmm... I got handed another loss. It's not making me happy at all, this. In fact, I'm stewing here. I thought I learned a lot about Pokémon since I lost to you. But that's all right. Some things you learn from winning. But some things you learn by losing. I hope you'll keep renting our Pokémon and give me a chance to redeem myself!"

• Random conversation

"Electivire is a fierce, robust Pokémon that can harness the power of electricity!"

"If you touch Electivire while it's charged up with crackling electricity..."

"you can actually lose consciousness for several moments. So make sure you don't EVER do that, OK?"

• If spoken to again

"Electivire are incredibly rare to find in the wild, you know."

"If you ever manage to team up with one, you can be sure it will be a dependable partner."

"This is just the mobile version of my data-interpreting machine, but it's got amazing functionality!"

• Random conversation

"Bronzong can call down the rain, so people in ancient times used to think they were deities."

"In fact, some people still worship them as rain bringers today, if you can believe that."

"I don't really buy into that, though. The only results I believe in are the ones I can prove numerically."

"Besides, if it suddenly started raining indoors, all of my machines would break."

• If spoken to again

"Did you know that many Pokémon feel naturally energized by the rain?"

"For that reason, a lot of Pokémon feel thankful toward Bronzong, too."

• Random conversation

"You look like you're itching to know more about me!"

"In other words, you'd like to interpret my data. Is that correct? If so, feel free!"

"Let's see. Um... Male, teenager... No, that's not the sort of data you want, is it?"

"If you want to learn more about me, you'll need to collect some data. Spending time with me is the best way to do that."

"It just so happens that I'm interested in collecting some data on you as well. Nice timing!"

• If spoken to again

"There are plenty of things out there that you can't understand with just a calculator."

"The more you learn about the world, the more you'll find things about it that interest you."

• Random conversation

"Do you think my hairstyle is weird?"

"I'm really specific about how I do it, but it doesn't take long at all."

"That could be because I use my invention the Auto-Hairstyle-O-Matic to analyze my hair type."

"Want to try it out, <player>? My invention can turn any hairstyle into one that's just like mine."

• If spoken to again

"My Auto-Hairstyle-O-Matic doesn't work on bald people."

"Just keep that in mind."

• Random conversation

"Whoa! Hey, you! You came at just the right time!"

"I’ve been wanting to do some analysis on you. Give me your data!"

"Don’t worry—I don't need you to do anything super specific. I just need to look at you through my machine!"

• If spoken to again

"Bzweeeeep! Oh, don't let the beeping concern you. I'm just interpreting some of your data."

"You and your Pokémon continue to exceed my calculations. What's the secret to your strength?"

"Hmm... I've just gotta know! I'm going to solve this mystery through my analysis. I promise!"

• Random conversation

"If you collect lots of data and analyze your Pokémon battles, you can utilize that data moving forward!"

"It's true! It's part of my job description as Factory Head!"

"Pokémon get disappointed when they lose battles, too. That's why you've got to formulate new strategies!"

"So that you can learn from your mistakes! And so next time, you can win! And things will go exactly as planned!"

• If spoken to again

"I always get tons of great data when I battle against you."

"It'll all be put to good use when I go back to the Battle Factory!"

"Although I might as well collect as much data as I can while I'm here..."

"The more knowledge I can amass, the more helpful I can be to you in a battle."

"AND I can keep getting stronger in the meantime! Perfect logic, just as I calculated!"
