You have recently taken in a swinub, it was a gift from one of your younger assistants.

Despite being an expert on Pokémon behavior and phisiology you have never owned a pokemon yourself, but now that you officially own one you just can't help but love the little thing, keeping Swinub around you all the time.

Afterall, you reason, this is a great chance to observe and document the bonding and evultuonary expirience of the pokemon!
