[fowlblue]

Honestly all the Pokemons lol

Alrighty then!

1. Favorite Type?

A strong tie between Dragon-Types and Electric-Types! As a general rule I think all the Dragon-Types are near-perfect, but I love a lot of Electric-Types too!

2. First starter you ever had?

Totodile! My first game was Soulsilver. For the life of me I can’t remember what I named him, though. Britts, I think? The name of a donut shop at the beach I loved when I was a kid.

3. If you could choose to live in any town in any region, which would it be?

Somewhere in Galar… maybe Ballonlea? The whole ‘glowing forest’ thing is really cool!

4. Name a favorite from each type!

Off the top of my head:

Normal: Purugly

Fire: Hisuan Arcanine

Water: Tatsuguri

Grass: Serperior or Sprigatito

Flying: Dartrix

Fighting: Luxray

Poison: Seviper

Electric: Luxray

Ground: Krookodile

Rock: Tyrantrum

Psychic: Espathra

Ice: Chien-Pao

Bug: Volcarona or Centiscorch

Ghost: Girantina (Altered Forme)

Steel: Corviknight

Dragon: Garchomp

Dark: Honchkrow

Fairy: Sylveon

5. Pokémon you dislike the most?

Diglett. Arena Trap is annoying as hell, LET ME LEAVE THE BATTLE.

6. Favorite legendary?

A tie between Reshiram, Miraidon, and Girantina!

7. Which generation/ region is most special to you?

I'm very fond of Soulsilver-era Johto, but I'd say Galar! That region was the first time I looked at the game I was playing and thought "Wow, I can really see how someone would want to, and could, be a Pokemon trainer." Framing it as similar to sports was a great move, and the characters were really fun!

8.Name a favorite Pokemon from each of the generations.

(of those I haven't mentioned before:) Persian, Arbok, Sceptile, Drapion, Eelektross, Pumpkaboo, Lurantis, Theivul, and Kilowattrel!

10. What future eeveelution type do you hope for?

I'd love to see how they'd pull off a Bug-Type eeveelution, tbh. Maybe based off a bee or something?

11. Favorite gym leader?

Ohh, this is hard... either Drayden or Kabu!

12. Favorite “roaming” Pokemon?

Raikou!

13. What do you think the next generation of game should be called?

I thought about this for several minutes and the only thing my brain came up with was 'Pokemon Storm' and 'Pokemon Surge', so do with that what you will!

15. If you could have any 6 Pokemon in your party, what would they be?

Purugly

Serperior

Luxray

Tyrantrum

Shinx (the obligate 'cute' one)

Theivul

16. Which game is your most favorite?

At the moment I'm gonna have to say Violet. The plot + characters are very strong in my opinion, I was very invested in the story and teared up at a few points. Also Meowscarada, Miraidon, and Tatsugiri's existence alone make it a fave.

17. Which game is your least favorite?

Moon. Never finished it and I'll probably sell it soon, so someone else can enjoy it. Legends: Arceus also quickly became stale to me, though I can see why some like it!

18. If you could create a new Pokemon type, what would it be?

Perhaps something based on sound?

19. Name your favorite thing about each game generation.

I can't say anything about the early gens, unfortunately. For Gen IV, the dual regions in SS/HG was neat, Gen V had beautiful environments in the pixel style (Chargestone Cave was really neat) + Team Plasma's battle theme, Gen VI had Professor Sycamore, Gen VII had Team Skull who I adore, and Gen VIII had Champion Leon! As for the newest gen, befriending your box legendary as you go is really fun, lol.

20. Favorite hold item and why?

Black Glasses just because its so, so funny to picture. Practicality-wise, Shell Bell!

21. Favorite TM?

Shadow Ball!

22. Favorite HM?

Surf!

24. Which professor is your favorite?

Professor Sycamore (also Professor Turo, in a way, for reasons I will not specify cause spoilers)
