Headscratchers / Starters

• How did Cyndaquil, Bulbasaur, and Tepig meet eachother? We clearly saw how the other trio (you know what i'm talking about) met, in the Typomaniac episode. So what about our main characters of the show? Did they just, find and befriend eachother at school one day? Was it just two Pokémon at first, then a third one was added later? More importantly, how long have they known eachother? Have they known eachother since preschool, just like the four main boys from the show this series' animation style is based off of?
• Has Chespin recovered from the shit he went through in the Rare Candy episode? Wild Oranberries and Dr. Sylveon Discord Gaming show him completely fine.^note Though he briefly says "I've definitely been through worse" in The Stinger for the former episode, which only raises more questions. Is he referring to when he got burned in Typomaniac, everything he went through during the events of Rare Candy, or offscreen events? The latter episode even features a reference to Mudkip's Disney Death, which does heavily upset Chespin but does not directly harm his mental health. Is he okay with that, knowing that Mudkip is alive yet now a cyborg, so Chespin doesn't have to worry about Mudkip actually dying anymore?
