These are Thorton's quotes in the Pokémon games.
In the core series games
Pokémon Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver
- 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 between 10 and 99] 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 between 10 and 99] 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!"

- Battle Villa
- Before battle
- "Bzweeeeep! Hmm... How very interesting..."
- "According to my data-interpreting machine... Yes. Very interesting indeed. Looks like...90 percent?"
- "Oh, don't let the beeping concern you. It's time to begin!"
- After being defeated
- "Whoa! You sure showed me!"
- "I, on the other hand, appear to have had suboptimal results this time. That 90 percent figure must have been your odds, not mine."
- Story Event - The Girl in Black and White
- Thorton's Proposal
- Off-screen, as "???"
- "Bzweeeeep!"
- After appearing, as Thorton
- "Oh, don't mind me."
- "I just thought I'd take this opportunity to perform an analysis on your Pokémon. Your battle earlier has me quite intrigued."
- "Oh, these? I bought them for an experiment. I plan to feed them to Pokémon and observe their responses."
- "Why, do you want them? I guess I could let them go if you agree to battle me instead."
- "Collecting data from your Pokémon is worth more to me than a few ice cream cones."
- "This will be fun. I look forward to analyzing all of the data later."
- Synergy beyond Analysis?!
- "Whoa! Whoa! You're even more impressive than I thought!"
- "Hmm, this can't be right... My data-interpreting machine was just reading at 78% a moment ago."
- "Oh, don't mind me! Just mumbling to myself... You can just ignore that number."
- "It seems my data analysis was insufficient to keep up with the movements and commands of you three and your Pokémon."
- "A sub-optimal performance indeed... I stand defeated."
- "I'd have to collect a lot more data to be sure. I think there's something else at work here... something that can't be expressed in numbers."
- "Ah, that reminds me. Four Casteliacones in exchange for a battle, as promised."
- "Oh. Well, that's unfortunate. Though that is to be expected with ice cream."
- Story Event - All Aboard the Victory Train
- Full Speed Ahead
- "Bzweeeeep! Hmm... How very interesting..."
- "According to my data-interpreting machine... Yes. Very interesting, indeed. Looks like..."
- "Th...thirty-two percent?!"
- "Oh, don't let it concern you. I'm sure you'll figure it out once we start our battle!"
- "It's time to begin!"
- "Wow! You Subway Bosses sure are strong!"
- "*sigh* I guess my machine's analysis was accurate after all..."
- Story Event - Melancholy Wally
- Two Gardevoir Trainers
- "Bzweeeeep!"
- "Hmm...let's see. Looks like...50%?"
- Special Event - Metronome Day
- "Whoa! Rental Pokémon!"
- "Apparently, Togepi will share good luck..."
- "It's also said that happiness will come to those who see a gathering of Clefairy dancing!"
- If spoken to
- "Bzweeeeep! Hmm... Interesting..."
- "Oh? Are you curious about my data-interpreting machine? I think we'll get along!"
- Trainer Files - Two Factory Heads
- Rowdy Rental Pokémon
- ""Rowdy rental Pokémon"?"
- "Fine with me!"
- "Rental Pokémon that are hard to handle? Sounds like fun!"
- "Wow! They're just like you said!"
- Off-screen
- "Bzweeeeep! Hmm... I see..."
- On-screen
- "I rather like this Magnezone."
- The Results of Training
- "Bzweeeeep!"
- "Hmm... I'd say they've improved by about, say, one percent?"
- "Sorry we weren't able to live up to your expectations."
- "Huh? You wouldn't mind?"
- "Hmm... I'd say our affinity is around, say, one hundred percent?"
- Sync Pair Story - A Day with Thorton
- "Hmm. According to my data-interpreting machine, this should be the correct path..."
- Are you OK?: "Whoa! <player>! Are we in your way?"
- You're blocking the way.: "Whoa! <player>! Sorry. Are we in your way?"
- "My Bronzong and I were just analyzing our battle from yesterday."
- Analyzing?/What for?: "After a battle, I like to use my data-interpreting machine to learn everything I can about my opponent's Pokémon."
- "There's a vast number of Trainers here on Pasio right now."
- "Being able to gather so much diverse data all in one place is incredibly useful."
- "Or at least it should be..."
- It's not going well?: "Not really... It's my machine. I keep getting really strange results."
- Are your opponents not very good?: "No, they were all really strong! I should have been able to gather some brilliant data from them, but...something's off."
- "I've had many battles where my machine refuses to analyze my opponents properly or its calculations are way off."
- "Perhaps my data-interpreting machine is in need of repair..."
- Pokémon are more than just data, you know.: "Not just data...? You mean they can't be fully expressed with just numbers?"
- Surprise is what makes a battle.: "You make a good point. Sometimes battles simply can't be analyzed—it's impossible to codify and predict everything."
- "That reminds me—I haven't been able to express you and your Pokémon in numerical values yet, <player>."
- "And my Bronzong here..."
- "I chose to pair up with it because of the protective, metal nature of its body..."
- "but also because it has an air of mystery about it—something that can't be quantified. It just seemed really interesting."
- "It surprised me, in a way, to discover such a huge pool of strength that couldn't be measured by machine analysis alone."
- You mean like sync strength?: "Precisely! Sometimes the strength of a sync pair—the strength of their bond—can overcome even the strongest opponents!"
- Like the strength of determination?: "Certainly! With enough determination, one can overcome even the strongest opponents!"
- "Wait a minute. That means..."
- "If I can somehow figure out how to enhance my data-interpreting machine so that it can measure things like trust and determination..."
- "perhaps I can become even stronger in Pokémon battles."
- "Whoa! Whoa! The lightbulb just went off in my brain!"
- "There's so much to do but so little time to do it! I'm going to be a very, very busy man!"
- "I should thank you, <player>! For giving me the brilliant hint that sparked this whole idea!"
- "Come, Bronzong! Let's go!"
- "First things first! Bronzong and I are going to have to perform some deep self-analysis!"
- Sync Pair Story - Chikorita's Evolution
- Before battle
- "Bzweeeep! My data-interpreting machine is telling me that your Chikorita is ready to evolve!"
- "I'm curious about her Evolution, and I'm wondering how strong you'll become, Lyra. OK, continuing analysis!"
- "I've already used my data-interpreting machine on you. I have a good idea of how strong you are."
- "Well then, let's get this battle started!"
- After being defeated
- "Wow! You guys are as strong as the rumors say!"
- "My data-interpreting machine is good to go! I'm ready to analyze Chikorita once she evolves!"
- Pokémon Center
- During sync background preview (Variety)
- "Bzweeeeep! Let's see what I can see about you through my data-interpreting machine."
- 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."
- Random conversation
- "Grrr... Still at 47 percent? Slower than I expected."
- "Whoa! I was so focused, I didn't even see you there! "
- "I was trying to perform an update on my data-interpreting machine, see..."
- "But it's taking forever! The update's already been going for a hundred hours or so!"
- If spoken to again
- "This is just the mobile version of my data-interpreting machine, but it's got amazing functionality!"
- "I'll tell you all about what this baby can do next time."
- "If we open that can of worms now, it'll be midnight before I can explain all of its awesome features."
- 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!"
- Special log-in conversation (generic)
- "Whoa! Hi, <player>! You're here, just as I predicted!"
- "I'm so ecstatic you came, I'm crackling with energy! Come on—time to start the day!"
- Special log-in conversation (morning)
- "Morning! According to my analysis, we're in for a fine day!"
- Special log-in conversation (morning)
- "I always make excellent progress when I study Pokémon in the morning."
- Special log-in conversation (afternoon)
- "Greetings. My calculations tell me that the current air temperature and humidity are optimal for battle."
- Special log-in conversation (afternoon)
- "Creating a plan and then executing it is the most efficient way to spend the day."
- Special log-in conversation (evening)
- "Good evening. How much do you know about nocturnal Pokémon?"
- Special log-in conversation (evening)
- "Each night, I like to review my accomplishments of the day and evaluate my efficiency."
- Special gift conversation
- "My invention the Detect-O-Matic picked this up out in the forest."
- "I did a round of analysis on it, and it seemed right up your alley!"
- After giving out item
- "Collecting data and performing analyses are important for all things in life."
- "They are the key to obtaining greater knowledge and experience."
- "I don't really have a preference as long as I can collect my data."
