Diglett!~
Added 2020-11-16 23:48:49 +0000 UTCFor Diglett, we faced our most unique challenge yet. As many may notice, our archived image is a drawing, rather than an actual photographic record. This is because pulling a Diglett out of the ground would actually leave it in incredible pain, due to the sudden exposure to any sort of light or heat not found underground.
Some studied Diglett by removing it from the Earth and keeping a solid chunk of ground with it, however, our research specifically requires exposure of the lower area, eliminating that option. Our only choice was to effectively leave the Diglett themselves with the tools necessary. The more brave of our researchers had buried themselves up to the chest in dirt, leaving their naked bodies exposed underneath the surface, with a fresh coating of pheromones to help the process along.
It wasn't long before we saw the outlines of freshly tilled dirt approaching, and when the act began, it was a pleasant surprise to everyone. The constricting feeling of the loose Earth pressing around their lower body, reacting to every movement with more pressure to hold them still, while the Diglett effectively have their way with our researcher in any way they please. It was overwhelming to a few, but they knew what they signed up for, and with a lack of pain, it wasn't hard to keep going.
What we have now are effectively artist's recreations of the descriptions received afterwards. Normally for the sake of accuracy we would simply leave it blank as we have no solid proof, but this is to give trainers and breeders an idea of what to expect, and therefore our best efforts should be given regardless.
It cannot be stated enough, do not ever attempt to forcefully remove a Diglett from the ground, you can and will cause serious damage to them, and if they aren't completely docile, you may end up taking damage yourself.
Simply dig a hole, let yourself be exposed in their natural environment, not yours, and the experience will be worth the while.
