insaneladybugI dug up Crystal's Pokemon 30 Day meme and took it all at once like a normal quiz.
Day 01: Favorite Pokémon: Meowth. I love cats and I love that a cat is one of the two most prominent Pokemon characters. Now, I don't always love Team Rocket's Meowth's personality, but all of the characters are pretty flawed, so I've pretty much had to learn to be forgiving of all of them, including him, to enjoy the show. I also adore Starfish Pokemon and think they don't get nearly enough love.
Day 02: Least favorite Pokémon: ... Probably the Sludge Pokemon, Grimer and Muk. Gross! Although Ash's Muk, specifically, is rather endearing. LOL. I love how much he loves Professor Oak.
Day 03: Favorite starter Pokémon: Bulbasaur.
Day 04: Favorite Eeveelution: Umbreon. I remember being enchanted by him in Johto.
Day 05: Favorite legendary Pokémon: Articuno and Mew. A beautiful blue bird with ice powers? And a cute pink mewing cat? Yes!
Day 06: Most terrifying Pokémon: Good question. But as a clean freak and OCD person, I would probably be most terrified of Sludge Pokemon. Especially if they were chasing me!
Day 07: Most adorable Pokémon: Just one? There's so many adorable ones: Pichu, Pikachu, Jigglypuff (although her looks can be deceiving; oy, I'm glad they didn't keep her being mean to Pikachu as something that kept happening), Mew, Togepi....
Day 08: Most amusing Pokémon: Clefairy. The stuff they take for their spaceship is just WTH hilarious. And the fact that they're building a spaceship at all.
Day 09: Favorite Pokémon type: Water
Day 10: Least favorite Pokémon type: Probably Sludge, although I'm not crazy about a lot of Bug Pokemon too.
Day 11: Do you nickname your Pokémon? Why/Why not? If I had access to the games, I would! That's what pet owners do in real-life. I think the only reason Pokemon usually don't have names in the series is for marketing reasons. They want you to remember the species names. It's not very realistic. Imagine people calling "Cat!" or "Dog!" and those being the most common names. LOL. In real-life, that is generally thought of as very lazy naming!
Day 12: Favorite Pokémon attack or move: ... Good question. I think I like some of the Abilities more than the Attacks, since I'm not really into the battling aspect. Water Gun is pretty cool, though, and useful for non-battle situations too!
Day 13: If you lived in the Pokémon world, what would you be? Probably a quiet person with one or two Pokemon at home that are pets or helpful beings, rather than frequent battlers. Although they'd have to be in battling condition to protect us from crooks, I suppose.
Day 14: If you were a gym leader, what would be your specialty? Water, for starfish and other fish, or Normal, for cats. Or both. Ideally both.
Day 15: Favorite region in the Pokémon world: Kanto and the Orange Islands. The first two seasons had the greatest number of awesome episodes. Kanto is really varied and fascinating, and honestly, even though I don't like heat and don't find the idea of tropical places very inviting, the Orange Islands are highly intriguing too. And my favorite Pokemon adventure takes place there.
Day 16: If you could live anywhere in the Pokémon world, where would it be? Kanto.
Day 17: If you could be any Pokémon, what would you be? I would rather be a human. But Articuno would probably be a pretty fun Pokemon to be. No more sweltering in the heat! I could create an ice palace in the middle of a heat wave and it would last!
Day 18: Favorite Gym Leader: I don't recall a lot of specific oneshot Gym leaders. I like Misty a lot more than I did as a kid.
Day 19: Favorite Elite 4 member/Champion: Probably Lance, after seeing Bruno and Prima. And I just don't remember Agatha. But I remembered Lance all through the years.
Day 20: Favorite Pokémon Professor: Professor Oak. Classic and iconic and endearing. He seems like a really fun mentor to have.
Day 21: Favorite Pokémon bad guys: Jessie, James, and Meowth, but mainly because they're really good people despite their jobs. Redeemable bad guys are the most fascinating kind.
Day 22: Favorite Rival: I'm only really familiar with Gary, and I don't even particularly like him until later in the series. He is really immature and nasty through most of season 1.
Day 23: A Pokémon which reminds you of a friend: Raichu, Crystal's favorite.
Day 24: A Pokémon you’d find useful in real-life: Any flying Pokemon big enough to carry you.
Day 25: A Pokémon based on your favorite animal: Persian.
Day 26: A Pokémon that is your favorite color: Horsea.
Day 27: Favorite Pokémon game: The only one I ever got to play was LeafGreen, which was very fun and I hated to say Goodbye to it and to my Pokemon when we left CompUSA. Even in just a few minutes, I became very attached!
Day 28: What did you nickname your rival? I don't recall if I played long enough to encounter my rival. If I did, I probably named him Gary, if he was still the rival in LeafGreen.
Day 29: Favorite Pokémon tune or song: Team Rocket's motto music. Also, the openings for seasons 1, 2, and 3. And much of the English score of the second movie. So happy to have located that, and to hear that most of my favorite parts are included!
Day 30: Most nostalgic element of Pokémon: Favorite anime episodes like Holy Matrimony!, which I have very fond memories of from the past.

And yep, as tempting as it would be to travel around looking for Pokémon, hanging out locally with a few is probably the most logical course of action (case in point, Pokémon Go, heh)
And aww, I'm glad Raichu reminds you of me! Persian reminds me of you, too. :)
