Pokemon and you

[scorptatious]

1. For me it's raising my own team of Pokemon to become champions. There's just something about bringing a lowly Spearow up from the wild all the way to the champion fight against my rival that strikes a chord within me.

2. If I were to choose, I'd pick Snivy as my starter and we'd be kicking ass in Kanto.

3. As a starter? I'd pick Grass. I feel that it's somewhat under-appreciated compared to the Fire and Water types. So I usually like to pick it.

As a type overall? Probably Electric. So much raw power within that type class.

4. Hmm, that's a tough one. I guess I don't really have a favorite move.

5. Protagonist: Probably Ash. Yes, I said Ash. I don't care what they called him in Gold and Silver, to me he's Ash.
Gym Leader: Probably Brock from Red and Blue.
Rival: N from Black and White.
Team Enemies: It's a tie between Rocket and Plasma. The former I have nostalgic attachment to, and the latter actually has a goal that isn't completely black and white.
Elite Member: I haven't got through Ruby yet, so this might change. But currently my favorite would probably be Lance. He put up a real good fight in Silver.

6. I always was into the design of Dialga and Palkia.

7. I've heard really bad things about Farfetch'd. At least Magicarp can evolve into a Gyarados.

8. Can't really think of any Pokemon that deserve an evolution. Maybe Torkoal should have a pre-evolution? I don't know.

I never actually played a Pokemon game. It came out when I was finishing up high school, and it was kind of a kids' thing.

3 Psychic
4 Blaze Kick

Everyone seems to forget Colosseum, that was an amazing game.

1. Probably the catching/team-building part of the game. I'm partial to getting 100% in game pokemon, but I'm to lazy to trade for the complete pokedex. I also like perfectly balancing my team to find the right pokemon to complement each other.

2. Torchic starting in Hoenn

3. I'm not sure what my absolute favorite type is, but my top 3 are Dark, Electric, and Steel.

4. I'm not sure. If put on the spot Thunderbolt, but I remember there is a dark/ghost type move that I had on a play-through of B/W a while back that I loved. I just can't remember what it was.

5. A)What's his name from Pokemon Colosseum.
B)I'm a fan of the trio from the first gym in B/W, largely because I thought that the gym changing based on your starter was a cool idea.
C)N if he counts, otherwise Silver
D)Team Plasma, mainly because their plans seem very well thought out, particularly considering that they very nearly probably come closer to actually achieving their goals than any other organization. If you ignore the obvious "kick-the-dog moment" that goes on early in the game which exists solely to clarify the morality of the organization, they become much more complex, and you begin to ask yourself "wait, is what I'm doing even right, considering that I'm basically participating in a cross-country dog-fighting tour?". Ghetis is also a particularly cunning b@$%@^& considering that he succeeds in manipulating pretty much everybody, and only loses because he did his job brainwashing N to well.
E)Cynthia

6. Say what you like about Lugia, but I always thought that Ho-Oh was better. STAB Sacred Fire was always awesome.

7. Tropious. It wasn't even that it was bad, but that it didn't really seem to serve a purpose. Bad pokemon at least act as a point of comparison for good pokemon, and some are pokemon are there to satisfy collector types, and some are there just to be cool. Tropious doesn't do any of those things in Gen 3.

8. We need to finish off the Eeveelutions. I'd also like to add that I prefer fewer alternative evolutions to more, as the more you have, the less special they become.

Bonus: Favourite Pokemon from each gen
1. Rhydon
2. Scizor
3. Gardevoir
4. Hippowdon
5. Blitzle

I liked the fact that it required no effort and I could just drone the weeks by without much interaction with reality. That and it worked well on a 166MhZ pc. I got a cart from a market, very surprising since consoles, let alone handhelds, are rare in these parts.

Don't really care, usually take whatever would be difficult to come by in terms of quality.
[/li]
[li]
Originally ghosts, then I began to care less as the base of mechanics was expanded.
[/li]
[li]
There are two types of moves: Mandatory HMs and everything else.

[li]
Pokemon has characters?
[/li]
[li]
Don't care about any of them.
[/li]
[li]
There are so many.

Deserves? a lot of them. Should get, none of them.

Pokemon is not a 'world' game, the world is largely irrelevant other than plot and the pokemans you can find. While I still see the appeal of the gametype/play, I find it to be incredibly flawed in every other aspect. I do applaud any pathetic efforts made to advance the genre.

Because it's been forever since the last time I played any of my Pokemon games and I'm fairly board out of my mind, most of my answers are going to be a bit half-assed.
1. Don't remember at all.
2. I almost always choose the fire type and don't have any preference to region.
3. Fire.
4. Too many moves for me to remember and it's been too long to remember which is my favorite.
5. Don't know. Don't really care that much either.
6. Probably Mewtwo.
7. Any Pokemon that I didn't use.
8. Are there any who don't have at least one at this point?(not counting legendary Pokemon)
And just for shits and giggles, these.

Spoiler: warning, this is a large one

1: My favourite thing about Pokemon is that it remains deep and strategic while also being "family friendly".

2: Squirtle in Johto

3: Dark and Ghost

4: Shadow Force

5:
protagonist: Gold, easily.
gym leader: Morty, the "mystic seer of the future"
rival: Silver, because all the rivals after him were really just friends, besides maybe N
team enemies: Team Magma because, unlike Team Galactic, they had a fashion sense of some kind
elite member: Koga because he's a ninja. That's all the justification I need.

6: Giratina

Spoiler: I mean just look at it!

7: Magikarp, I guess

8: Tauros

My favourite pokemon is Umbreon

Can't think of anything else to say, so...

 

[Arakasi]

8. Most Usless Pokemon: Magicarp. Duh.

Pfft. I will not listen to thy Magicarp propaganda.
