History
Pudge Nakamoto joined the Breath Mints after the incineration of Boyfriend Monreal. Nakamoto's joining is rumored to be due to Monreal sending Nakamoto as a friend to comfort the team upon their incineration. Monreal, having become Unstable, is said to have called Nakamoto in the time between games. During Game 96, a Rogue Umpire was seen taking aim at Lenny Spruce (who was also unstable from the previous game) and Monreal dove to protect him, ending in Monreal's incineration. Some fans have claimed to have seen a friend hanging around the the open meadow on the outskirts of town before the fateful game. However, Nakamoto's ever changing appearance makes the veracity of these claims difficult to determine. All that is truly known is that a friend shaped entity commandeered a Breath Mints uniform was accepted onto the team after offering hugs, reassurance, and grief councilling to the team.
Nakamoto appears as a friend to all. This means that they are perceived differently by all entities observing them. This can lead to confusion as pitchers will often throw what appear to be strikes or balls to different observers only for the opposite to be called depending on how Nakamoto appears to the umpire. This has occasionally led to arguments between players and umpires. To date no argument has resulted in an incineration, The Commissioner has stated the odds of this happening are: "██████████"
When the fifth base suddenly appeared on the field, Breath Mints players realized that the base was actually located directly in the center of Nakamoto's house. Naturally, this caused some chaos on the field and worry from players on other teams and Mints alike that they were barging in uninvited, but Pudge assured everyone that their presence was entirely welcome, and that anyone could stay for as long as they liked. When the fifth base was retired in the following season, Pudge made sure to put a big sign in front of their house that made sure people knew that they could still visit whenever they wanted.
What Nakamoto Looks Like To Us
When 100 people were asked to describe Nakamoto, every single one of them simply said that "they look like a friend." Below are what they have appeared as to us.
- "A friend."
- "Well, I'm not fully sure what they looked like, but late one night when I was driving home, I got a flat tire, and I called Pudge up. They immediately drove out and helped me put on the spare tire, and made sure I got home safe."
- "To me, Pudge looks kind of like a Kirby. Friend shaped!"
- "You know the honey bottles that have a bear shape?"
- "Pudge looked like a Totoro from the movie My Neighbor Totoro, but mint colored."
- "Think of a fusion between a Snorlax and Big the Cat."
- "A preposterously fat ghost-like entity"
- "They were like a big, cuddly frog with huge arms made for hugging."
Other Unconfirmed Rumours
- Nakamoto has been rumoured to be non-verbal, and prefers to communicate through sign language. Since Nakamoto is known to change forms, it is hard to confirm these rumours.
- Nakamoto has been known to hug everyone who enters the open meadow on the outskirts of town. Friend or foe, they all receive a lovely warm hug from Nakamoto.
- Due to Nakamoto's moldable shape (and lack of defined arms), it becomes difficult for him to hold a bat properly. Instead his fellow hitters often jam a bat in to Nakamoto's soft body. Nakamoto then proceeds to swing by rotating his entire body. This has proven ineffective, and leads to many ground outs.
- Nakamoto's house is in between where the Fourth and Fifth Base were. Since the removal of the additional base, Nakamoto is concerned not as many people will visit. Nakamoto was known for putting out a nice fold-out table filled with too many cups of water in an effort to be polite, however this ended up just getting in the way a bit too frequently.
- Nakamoto is known for his love of sleepovers. Often having themes, and elaborate games. The entire team are known to love Nakamoto's hospitality, and thoroughly enjoy his sleepovers, despite initial reservations.
