There is a topic pertinent to Pokémon affairs that I really do want to discuss, but it's a bit of a sensitive topic, and discussing it directly and blatantly may make my relationships with other Pokémon fans more difficult - if it isn't already is at present. So, after much thinking, I've decided to touch on it very, very indirectly while still providing my considerations. That topic, as suggested by the title of this post, is a situation where having two of a certain something becomes a bit of difficulty despite the utility it brings to the table. And it evidently applies across several Pokémon segments and associated fans.
Being that one of the "pillars" of Pokémon (by my consideration, at least) is friends or friendship, there are naturally some things that can only be done in twos or more. When they're had separately, that's the intended scenario, but when they're had together as one, that may be problematic for those who are involved, whether the possessor or other people in connection. Obviously, the situation is not for everyone - in more ways than one. This would be even more so in a formal setting, where it should be not evident that the situation is in fact the case for the people concerned.
At any rate, there is not much that can be done to prevent a "twos" situation from occurring, and it's pretty much a cat-and-mouse (or Meowth vs. Rattata) game for who might or might not incur or have incurred the "twos" situation. For them, it might be that wisdom is necessary to deal with the situation if it's already apparent, or not to deal with it if that isn't the case. Pokémon conditions keep evolving (ahem) and eventually someone or something would be able to discover the situation of the "twos", and it might make it more difficult for someone to keep it up.
It may be that what I've explained above may be somewhat abstract, but the concrete situation is that it happens if one looks hard enough for it; it may even occur in certain Pokémon realms that one may think it doesn't occur - and yet it does. Whether that may be as clear as day or as obscure as a Gastly in the shadows, some Pokémon affairs will always need "two" or more to deal with, but it may be that only "one" is in control. In that sense, as referred in the title of this post, when two's a crowd... it may just be that one is behind it all, and the "company" that one has in the situation is a neatly crafted illusion.
