Quickies: Meowth for Pay Day

I'm a fan of cats in real life to a good extent. Since I am also a fan of Pokémon, I'm also attracted to the cats of this world - one of them being Meowth. This cat species, though, already has its own repute as the sidekick of the Team Rocket trio from the anime, and it's not necessarily a good one. Yet it does have another repute, one that seems to be less popular and almost forgotten: that would be its ability to learn the move of Pay Day. It's a move with unique effects, just as unique as and befitting the Pokémon that can learn this move.

As a brief review, the Pay Day move isn't too powerful and its Normal type may not lend it much attractiveness, let alone much use. Its claim to fame, however, lies in the move being able to grant extra money from winning Trainer battles - hence the move being called Pay Day. It becomes obvious that the move is primarily an aid to the main story rather than something to help competitive play, and even then it may or may not get much use. Its novelty power is regardless somewhat significant beyond its actual use.

Even with the move, a Trainer will still have to work somewhat in order to win a battle and earn the money, much like certain situations in real life, one of which is something that I'm presently involved in. But at the least if a Trainer has a capable Meowth or even its evolved form Persian, the Trainer can stand to utilize the Pay Day move and earn a little extra for keeps. The move also highlights a unique capability that these two cat Pokémon species have, in particular the first one with its slightly more well-known repute. I certainly would be happy with either one - more on the former - especially if capable of using the move above. I can't hope for real life cats using the move, but maybe Pay Day can work itself out in other ways, with or without cats.

Now, it seems that a payday will be at hand soon, and I've got to make Pay Day work for it...
