    Your First Pokémon Game

    Yellow for me, in 2000. Age 13. My best friend repeatedly gave me updates on hers (i.e "I caught a Zubat") and then one day actually showed it to me. That was it. I had to have it. When my mom picked me up from her place that day, I asked her for it and she agreed. Until this point, I...

    Your Shinies and Shiny Hunting in LGP/E

    In my experience, hunts take at least 24 hours after completion of a minimum chain of 31 to spawn a shiny with or without a lure. Anything less is tremendous luck. Most of my hunts took at least a week and like the individual above, most of the time I as well had to hold out longer than one...

    What are some ridiculous nicknames you gotten from wonder trade?

    I not long ago received a Metapod, I believe it was, or perhaps it was a Wurmple, called FREEBUTTS. I released it. XD

    What was your biggest pokemon fail?

    I don't consider that a fail. I used to keep Ivysaur unevolved as well for the same reason, finding it Venusaur less attractive.

    What was your biggest pokemon fail?

    1.) Silver: I named my rival ??? Something possessed me to actually think that was supposed to be his name. Granted it was only my second game, my first having been Yellow and in GSC unlike in RBY it wasn't as straightforward as "Here is your rival...what's his name?" 2.) Ruby: I encountered an...

    What is your 1st Pokemon you trained to Level 100?

    Windy the Pigeot in Silver, traded from Yellow. The first Pokemon I ever caught. Followed briefly by Norbert the Dragonite and Muffin the Furret. To this day they were the only level 100 Pokemon I've ever owned that I'd trained there myself.

    Do you keep your starter?

    I've only ever boxed my starter once, it was a Feraligatr in Silver which I chose in the first place on a whim not because I liked it. Once I boxed it I never used it again. Generally, my starter does permanently remain on my team.

    Guess what I've been doing this evening? Playing my inexplicably still working Yellow, in my GBC. Ah the nostalgic feels.

    Are you referencing my starter in my first Pokemon game? Pikachu, my first game was Yellow.

    Pokerus

    My entire team somehow contracted it in Alpha Sapphire while I was training a Lunatone at Jagged Pass for the Lavaridge Gym (which ended up not being needed because my Seaking did the whole job with one move per Pokemon haha).

    Lies For Pokemon

    Actually, there is a trick which allows you to sneak back into the S.S Anne port after it's left, so you don't need to hack yourself a finished game to access the truck you just need to be able to surf. I can't remember the steps exactly but it involves you talking to the usher out front, then...

    Mega Mewtwo Y

    If I had to pick a preference I'd disagree, I'd say the X form is cooler and more fitting to the character.

    Do you watch the Pokemon anime?

    Cyndaquil wasn't abandoned per say but there is still a similarity to how he obtained Charmander in that he did save it from the covet of an abusive, asshole trainer. Something I actually did not pick up on when I finally saw the Cyndaquil episode. Ash never gets Torchic. While I didn't watch...

    Who was the hardest gym leader for you to beat?

    Probably Whitney in the original Silver. (This not counting any gym battles in my previous and first game Yellow because I can't remember any of them). Her and that damn rollout attack. Three tries at least it took me and finally was able to take her down by using a ditto to rollout her ass...
