Ramos/Quotes

These are Ramos's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon X and Y

Coumarine Gym

• Before battle

"Ho! So yeh've made it clear up here! I'm the Gym Leader. Ramos's the name. So what'd yeh think, whippersnapper? Did yeh enjoy the garden playground I made with all these sturdy plants o' mine? Their strength is a sign o' my strength as a gardener and a Gym Leader! Yeh sure yer up to facing all that?"

• Upon being defeated

"Yeh can't take things too quickly when it comes to forming a friendship with yer Pokémon, sprout!"

• After being defeated

"Yeh believe in yer Pokémon... And they believe in yeh, too... Mighty oaks from acorns grow. Go on, then. Yeh've earned it. Here's yer own Plant Badge, sprout."

"If yeh've got yerself a Plant Badge, then yeh can use the HM Fly even when not battling. It's a real boon. Pokémon up to Lv. 60 will listen to yeh, too, easy as falling off a log. Even if yeh got 'em from a trade. Here--have this, too. Might as well make hay while the sun shines, I reckon."

"That TM there is for Grass Knot. Yeh can use it to trip yer opponent up in the grass. The heavier the opponent, the harder it'll fall--and the more it'll hurt. Ain't it a marvel? Frail little blades o' grass can break through concrete, even. I can't help admirin' that strength."

• Post-game

"When yeh know for certain sure yeh ain't never gonna meet again... Well, yeh can give in and accept it. But if yeh think there might be a chance, and yeh wander the world for 3,000 years tortured by that flicker of hope... I tell yeh, sprout, I couldn't have stood it."

Battle Chateau

• Before battle

"So yer back for more, whippersnapper! I know I'll enjoy another Pokémon battle with yeh, sprout, sure as trees grow up!"

• Upon being defeated

"A true friendship with Pokémon takes time. Yeh can't force it, yeh little whippersnapper!"

• After being defeated

If giving the player an item: "Go on, then. Take it. Yeh've earned it."

"Yeh believe in yer Pokémon... And they believe in yeh, too... It was a fine battle, sprout."

• If the player is defeated

"Hohoho... Indeed. Frail little blades o' grass'll break through even concrete."

Story Event - Champion Time

• Taught by the Best

"Heheheh. Flattery will only make me blush, sonny!"

"You did a fine job, too! It's not often a Trainer becomes that strong at your age!"

"You were like a magnificent tree with its roots firmly planted into the ground. It was an excellent battle."

"Is that so? If that's the case, I'd love to battle them someday."

Story Event - Trials on the Isle

• An Irresistible Aroma

• When spoken to

"Lookin' for some ingredients, eh? Why don't you take these?"

"Enjoy those, young'n. They're a blessing from the woods."

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Ramos

• Off-screen, as "???"

"I'm not there! Look closer, saplin'!"

"The plants here may look similar and different at the same time. I'm sure you can tell the differences between them, though."

• As Ramos

"Good job, child! Yeh found my Weepinbell!"

• After appearing

"<player>, yer as good as I expected! Yeh got somethin' other Trainers don't!"

Why were you hiding?/Whew, that was frightening!: "Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to spook yeh."

"Weepinbell live in the forests and wait for prey."

"An' that's because both forests and Weepinbell have their own individual quirks."

Quirks?/In what ways?: "Fer example, the trees in this here spot have thicker trunks than others."

"That would be because each of these trees is gettin' plenty of sunlight."

"But look at them trees over there."

"They grow thin and tall, as if reaching high for more sunlight."

"All of us are shaped by our environment. That's why we develop individual quirks."

"That's the same for the forest, Pokémon, and people alike."

Oh, I get it!: "I like how modest yeh are, saplin'. You humor an old man's ramblin's, and I'm grateful for that."

That really is interesting!: "I think so, too."

"I've been around for a while now, but I'm always dumbstruck by interesting quirks."

"Not all quirks are handed to yeh, though, sprout. Some of 'em yeh gotta take for yerself."

"Get out of yer comfort zone. Talk to different people, and think new thoughts."

"Pasio's a great place to do that. At least, that's what I think."

"Weepinbell might evolve soon. Or he might not. That, too, is just one of his quirks."

"I wonder which he wants to do."

Probably evolve.: "To find one's limits and become stronger, eh? That's certainly one way."

Maybe stay as he is.: "Acceptin' oneself as yeh are and seekin' stability is one answer."

"But in the end, it don't matter much."

"What's important is to actually think about the answer yeh want and become the person or Pokémon yeh can be satisfied with."

"Yeh continue making decision after decision like that."

"And at the end of that road, yeh might see ye've grown up to be a unique flower all yer own, an' there's nothin' more beautiful than that."

Sync Pair Story - Weepinbell's Evolution

• Before battle

"Heh heh heh, yer makin' me blush, young lady. I'm nothin' but an old tree tryin' its darndest to keep bloomin'."

"In fact, I admire the verdant youthful energy yeh have!"

"Well, how 'bout it? Why don't we have ourselves a battle?"

"I'll show you that this old growth is still in bloom!"

• After defeating Gardenia

"Ho ho! Thank yeh, child! You were battlin' with the power of a blossoming spring flower!"

"I can tell how strong your friendship with your Pokémon is."

"Weepinbell! What're yeh... Are yeh about to evolve?!"

"Well, it looks like that last Pokémon battle was just the fertilizer yeh needed!"

Pokémon Center

• Random conversation

"What I got here with me are my trusty gardening shears. They slice through even the thickest of branches with ease."

"I've been usin' these for over 30 years, and the only things I trust more are my Pokémon."

• If spoken to again

"One time, I was using them at night and I was mistaken for a Pinsir, the Stag Beetle Pokémon."

"My neighbors thought these were a Pinsir's pincers and went into a bit of a tizzy."

"Thank goodness nobody threw a Poké Ball at me."

"Those things hurt if they hit yeh in the noggin."

• Random conversation

"Reading is fertilizer for yer mind."

"Just like plants need water and nutrients, people need excitement and surprise."

"That'll bud yer heart and cover it in beautiful flowers."

• If spoken to again

"As people age, their hearts are more accepting. Very much like the grass that accepts everything."

"And it's this acceptance that makes our land nice and green."

"So that you don't go skinnin' yer knee after a little fall."

• Random conversation*

"My Weepinbell has acid that can melt anything down to goop."

"His razor-sharp leaves will slice anything in half."

"I think I would have been able to be of help had they called me to make the PML stadium."

• If spoken to again

"I'm sure Weepinbell would be a huge help at construction sites, too."

"He's a big softy, but he's as strong as any Machamp or Conkeldurr!"

• Random conversation

"A lot of the local sprouts come to play at the Coumarine City Gym."

"They use the ropes and nets the challengers climb as a playground."

"This one time, though, a tyke's Totodile chewed through the ropes and made the gym impossible to beat."

• If spoken to again

"The Coumarine City Gym is made to be an obstacle course."

"I myself exercise at my Gym by hangin' on the ropes, too."

• Random conversation

"Say, <player>, why are yeh in the PML?"

"Me? Well, I'm in it for a nice hot cup of tea after a well-fought Pokémon battle."

"Reminiscing on the battle makes that one cup of tea exceptional."

• If spoken to again

"I don't know why yeh fight."

"But I know that these matches are something that both yeh and yer Pokémon need."

• Random conversation

"There are four things to remember when yer raisin' plants, child..."

"sunlight, water, temperature, and ventilation. Can't give too much, can't give too little."

"Overeatin's bad for people, too, right? The same can be said for plants and Pokémon."

"Just the right amount. That's the secret to a long life."

• If spoken to again

"Takin' a walk is very much like life. If yeh think about it that way, makes yeh reconsider how yeh walk, don't it?"

"Light don't always last. Parts of that path are covered in shadows, too."

"Same can be said for life. There'll be good that happens to yeh, and there'll be bad."

"What's important is how yeh pick yerself up. Yeh have to be resilient like a weed."

• Random conversation

"There are lots of types of plants. People and Pokémon have their individual traits, too."

"Now, yeh ain't gonna get along with everyone. But just remember that yeh shouldn't ever deny 'em, either."

"But if yeh accept 'em, they might change, too. Just like a rose can lose its thorns."

"Let yer heart be like the swaying willow. That's the secret technique to an easy life."

• If spoken to again

"Interactin' with Grass-type Pokémon is the same as raisin' plants."

"Don't think of being slow as a disadvantage. Instead, use yer Attack and Defense to yer advantage."

"Yeh give water to strong saplin's, and yeh reinforce the weak ones."

"I learned how to raise my Pokémon from raisin' plants. I'm sure there'll be something the plants can teach yeh, too."

"Ah, so yeh've come back today, too, eh, <player>?"
