Introduction

Madame Fanteria is a Misdreavus that answers many Pokémon's questions about things such as leveling up, and trainers. At first, Fanteria only answered questions for her fellow friends in the Mansion, but then, she got her own page on EM. Over here, you can view Fanteria's advice column. But due to her shyness of humans, only fellow Pokémon can ask her questions.

Featured Questions

Dear Fanteria,
I'm a young Cleffa with a really tough problem. My owner, "Jake" keeps on abusing me in Pokémon Contests. He just uses my cuteness to charm the judges, and I'm getting tired of it. He always tells the judges a fake story about how he found me in a trash can, when the truth is, he purchased me from a Pure-Bred-Pokémon-Store! What could I do to stop this pagent madness?
From Annoyed of Pagents in Lilycove

Dear Annoyed,
Well, I'm not so sure on how Pokémon Contests work, but I'm assuming it must be corrupt. My only suggestion is to evolve into a Clefairy- face it, once a baby Pokémon evolves, they're not as cute as they used to be. I know it must be hard to have a friendship with a trainer that disgusting, but please try.

Dear Fanteria,
I'm an overweight Lopunny, who belongs to a trainer who beat the Elite Four. The Pokémon Press wanted to take a picture of the winning party. Even though I'm overweight and not as pretty as I used to be(Rare Candies aren't exactly healthy as herbs), I still wanted to take the picture. Weeks later, when we were back in my trainers cottage, we recieved the picture- which was on the cover of Pokéwinners- and I was completely skinny! Fanteria, I'm embarrassed. I've told my daughter, a slightly chubby Buneary, to be herself. If she thinks I wanted to appear skinnier, then she's going to get mad at me! What could I do?
From Proud to be Plus-Sized

Dear Proud,
Ouch, this sounds like trouble. Since I'm a ghost Pokémon, though, I probably won't have to face this, which is a good thing for me. If I were you, I would probably tell your daughter the truth about what happened. Congratulations for staying true.

Dear Fanteria,
Fanteria, I have an ettiquite problem. My owner forces me to use Headbutt on trees to find other Pokémon. However, we always encounter the wrong Pokémon, like Hoothoots at morning. Should I apologize to the Pokémon for waking them up, or should I just battle them, then move along?
From Dream-Destroyer

Dear Dream-Destroyer
Well, this is certainly an interesting question. After a recent walk (Or more accurately, float) through a nearby forest, and surveying Pokémon who live in trees, they would prefer being apologized to. A Kakuna in an oak tree told me, "If you're going to wake me up in the middle of the night, at least apologize. We have feelings, too".
