Also, type advantages work differently in this round. While having the same type will earn you positive rapport (which isn't racist...it's having something in common with someone xD), not very effective or super effective will have a level of intimidation/modesty. From the rules:

These Interviews are subject to a Rapport check, which is based on the type chart and evolution stage. Shared types generate positive reactions, not very effective relations generate a more modest reaction to the NPC, super effective relations generate a more intimidating reaction to the NPC, and having an evolution stage that's closer to the stage of the interviewee creates a more positive reaction, while having very different evolution stages generations a more negative reaction. Being the same species as part of the same evolution line (like a Raichu talking to a Pichu) automatically creates a very positive reaction.

So not sharing a type won't have as big of an impact as last time. The catch? You don't know who's going to react better to modesty or to intimidation until you try.
._. It all sounds so complicated. How do you remember it all?
