#I do not love him as much as my shiny flygon from emerald but he is still my good son.

bAE. IN CELEBRATION OF VALENTINE'S DAY, I'M REQUESTING THAT YOU DO THE THING THAT BROUGHT US CLOSER TOGETHER. DO ALL THE ASKS IN THE POKEMON ASK MEME. O3O

favorite type: Normal type no fucking doubt.

least favorite type: Ghost types seem to appeal to me the least.

favorite dual type: You pair anything up with Normal and you’ve got a winner in my books, though I’ll give this one to Normal/Dragon just because it goes from a mundane typing to god-dammed Dragon.

least favorite dual type: Fairy/Psychic but only because the two values of pink just sorta blur together and it doesn’t look all to appealing to me (I still love Mr Mime though).

favorite trainer: Like favorite trainer class? I will admit I have a small crush on the redheaded Furisode Girl because her appearance reminds me of @crazygingerlady​

least favorite trainer: Imma take this spot to ask why Game Freak didn’t have female Triathletes in ORAS. Seriously, their design was fine and lovely and you screwed it up.

favorite gym leader: Lenora is a Normal-type gym leader I can proud of.

least favorite gym leader: It feels like more effort went into Olympia’s gym than her personality.

favorite elite four member: Aaron because I like Bug-types

least favorite elite four member: Malva

favorite trial (sun & moon): Is it bad I want to say I enjoyed Mina’s lack of a trial just because of how jarring it was?

least favorite trial (sun & moon): I feel like Sophocles’s original trial was just sort of average and I’m glad they changed it up for USUM.

favorite antagonist team: Team Plasma from the original Black and White. I haven’t played B2W2 yet so I don’t know how they hold up there.

least favorite antagonist team: I feel like had they fleshed out the “classist Nazi” aspect more, Team Flare would’ve been a truly horrifying successor to Ghetsis. 

favorite shiny pokemon: 

(Her name is Princess and I love her.)

Okay this is gonna definitely get super long so I’m just gonna put one of these down…

16. least favorite shiny pokemon

(For me Garchomp is the pinnacle in lazy shiny designs.)

17. 3 favorite pokemon

I can’t fully explain why, but I just love Dunsparce’s design so god-damned much. He is a perfect boy. 

Shuckle is one of the earliest instances of a lethal joke character in Pokemon, only beating out Wobbuffet on this list because I just love his strange design so much.

This sunny lizard basically replaced my starter in Gen 6 and I have no regrets.

18. 3 least favorite pokemon

I’m putting coffin boy here because he’s Ghost type, but also one I dread facing. Who though giving a mummy box a cursed ability was a good idea?

Fighting types are one of my top three but sadly Crabominable’s design just turns me me away. It’s not even “ugly-cute” like Snubull. It really is a shame because it’s a cool type combination.

Pachirisu is an unfortunate victim of Game Freak’s attempts to make lightning strike twice with the marketability of Pikachu. I really do love their design but they won’t get any cool evolution because they wouldn’t be cool and marketable forever. I’m sorry Pachirisu, you deserve better.

19. favorite pokemon game: Emerald fills me to the brim with so much nostalgia and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

 20. least favorite pokemon game: No Pokemon game has been terrible to me, but Diamond and Pearl’s pokemon are sorta just “Eh” to me while X and Y’s story invokes the same emotion.

21. favorite legendary/mythical pokemon

A music-based normal type? Sign me the fuck up.

22. least favorite legendary/mythical pokemon

It’s unfortunate but he came in around a time when it felt like less effort was being put into Mythical Pokemons’ events. Sure he gets a whole movie but he’s just handed to us in the game.

23. favorite music track from a pokemon game

The Ultra Recon Squad is some of the best shit I’ve heard.

24. your favorite team of pokemon you’ve ever had 

I can’t really remember my older teams all to well so I’ll have to give it to my latest squad.

25. favorite design of a pokemon: I feel like this goes back around to questions 17 and 18

26. least favorite design of a pokemon: See question 25

27. overall favorite generation of pokemon: Just from Pokemon alone, Gen 5 hands down.

28. overall least favorite generation of pokemon: By the same criteria, gen 4 gets a shrug from me.

29. favorite normal type: 

Golly I wonder who it could be.

30. least favorite normal type:

Fuck you they’re all great.

31.favorite fire type: The Turtonator featured in question 24!

32. least favorite fire type: 

Oddly enough, Ninetails never struck me as something I’d be inclined to raise.

33. favorite fighting type:

I couldn’t pick between the Hitmons so I chose the baby they come from instead.

34. least favorite fighting type: Still Crabominable.

35. favorite water type: 

Do I need to explain why Qwilfish is so cool? The answer is no, he just radiates awesome. And also poison if his quills are leaking. Deadly, deadly poison.

36. least favorite water type:

I mean I understand why you aren’t, but I still wish you were Luvdisc’s evolution.

37. favorite flying type: 

HE IS DOING HIS BEST AND I LOVE HIM.

38. least favorite flying type:

Santabird sits here as a victim of wasted potential. He has access to a lot of moves through breeding and tutoring and honestly that would be a cool concept for a Pokemon. The problem is that he dosen’t have the stats to make use of them. Poor Santabird.

39. favorite grass type:

You are forever one of my favorite starters, even if the physical/special split screwed you over.

40. least favorite grass type

You kinda bore me, though.

41. favorite poison type:

Who’s a colorful, gooey girl? You are! Who eats trash with their rock teef? You do! Who’s the bane of my wife’s fairy/psychic types? You are!!!

42. least favorite poison type

You have really cool sprites but no reason to be poison type.

43. favorite electric type: Yup, still Helioisk.

44. least favorite electric type: Pachirisu for the tragic reasons mentioned above.

45. favorite ground type:

His stats are perfect compromise between Politoed and Poliwrath, he has some of my favorite moves, and an awesome design to boot. I love you wart-man.

46. least favorite ground type:

Flygon is cooler.

47. favorite rock type:

I MEAN JUST LOOK AT HIM

48. least favorite rock type:

Your stall tactics have given me so mush hell I think I deserve to be petty.

49. favorite ice type:

This boy was a Beauty Contest champion and I’m just proud of him. He did so amazing… Excuse me I need a moment.

50. least favorite ice type

I’ll be honest, I don’t have much reason to put you here other than your crap shiny. Also you should evolve with the new Ice Stone.

51. favorite bug type:

Remember when you could catch him down in ruins? That was really cool, especially since this guy has become a part of my Black and White team without me even noticing. It was a really cool even and Game Freak should do more.

52. least favorite bug type:

All bug types are perfect. Fuck you this space is staying blank.

53. favorite dragon type:

54. least favorite dragon type

Still the Garchomp line sadly. This isn’t even over the shiny now, they’re just one of the last dragon types I’d consider raising.

55. favorite ghost type

Okay Shedinja has Wonder Guard and we all know what that entails. So instead Imma blab about it’s other aspects. First and foremost, Shedinja is re-animated remains of Nincada’s old shell, technically making him the first zombie Pokemon. On top of that he has a cool design that combines cicada shell and guardian angel, which happens to be emphasized in Wonder Guard’s Japanese name: Mysterious Protection. And to top it all off, he’s the evolved form of a Pokemon that can evolve into two Pokemon at once! That’s fucking cool.

56. least favorite ghost type:

GET THE FUCK OUT OF THAT TOWER YOU ETHEREAL BASTARD.

57. favorite dark type

BOOF

58. least favorite dark type

HE’S STILL NOT OUT OF THE GOD DAMNED TOWER

59. favorite psychic:

I brought that baby Wynaut all the way to the ORAS Pokeleague and I’m so proud of him. My punching bag has punched back! ;3;

60. least favorite psychic type:

I’m sorry Oranguru, as a Normal type you’re beautiful. But as a Psychic type, well your design just doesn’t appeal to me. Please forgive me…

61. favorite steel type:

love the cronch

62. least favorite steel type

It’s a bit controversial, but I feel kinda apathetic about Lucario. There’s just something about it’s design and the way it’s marketed that makes me feel like it’s design was focus-tested to be the most marketable “cool” Pokemon in Gen 4. I mean hot-damn he’s great in battles, but I get the sense that originality might have been quashed in favor of sales.

63. favorite fairy type:

This tiny motherfucker is one of the deadliest dust-mites I’ve ever had the pleasure of raising. Under that adorable exterior lies a deadly secret; that they are a fucking Bug/Fairy sweeper, type you would’ve thought you’d see in Gen 6 comes wreak havoc on those who who dare oppose him. 

FEAR THE POLLEN BEE

64. least favorite fairy type

You’re only here because the cross of plague-doctor and flamenco dancer is just something that doesn’t appeal to me. Which is my only major nag because as we’ve gathered from the other entries, I’m quite vain. You do have a great shiny and an excellent supportive moveset, though.

65. favorite pokemon movie:

I had the Pokemon 2000 movie on VHS when I was a kid. I had no idea what was going on when I watched it though. Probably didn’t help that I only knew Gen 1 back then.

66. least favorite pokemon movie

I can’t say there’s any Pokemon movie I outright hate. Though I’ve watched like the older ones so maybe there’s something bad later down the line. I dunno.

67. favorite animated adaptation

Honestly I enjoy watching the Sun and Moon episodes with @crazygingerlady. This series actually sparked my interest in the anime again. (Give us more focus on Team Rocket though, thank you.)

68. least favorite animated adaptation

As a kid I watched a lot of the Hoenn stuff and I think I complained a lot. Thinking I could do both Ash’s and Team Rocket’s job way better. When I think back on it I realized two things: One. I was being really silly. Two. The Hoenn stuff kinda bores me.

69. favorite pokemon card

Yes.

70. least favorite pokemon card

DON’T MAKE CHOSE BETWEEN MY BABIES. ;M;

71. favorite pokemon tumblr blog(s): Look I just follow anyone with “Dunsparce” in the name.

72. favorite pokemon plushie

These precious babies I got from @crazygingerlady

73. favorite pokemon merchandise: The games. o3o

74. favorite alolan version of a first gen pokemon

The bearded cannon.

75. a pokemon that you feel is overrated:

It’s the same sad deal I was talking about earlier. I’m sorry Lucario, you’re a great fighter but I won’t go out of my way to raise you.

76. a pokemon that you feel is underrated

You know, I don’t see much love given to my walkin, talkin boombox.

77. favorite eeveelution

sploosh

78. least favorite eeveelution

The only reason Umbreon is here is because they’re the only one Syncronoise is useless on. That’s it. All the Eeveelutions are pretty great and it was hard to pick between them.

BONUS QUESTIONS (that Jayde and I came up with):

79. Favorite Pokestar opponent?

I’m not sure why I chose this question seeing as I haven’t played B2W2, but this dude is creepy as hell.

80. Favorite Mega Evolution?

I am so glad Beedrill got a Mega evolution, I ran with vanilla Beedrill all the way through Pokemon X and now my boy has a upgrade! I am so proud of him and his new badass form.

Now all we need is a Mega Butterfree!
