insaneladybugI took this some time ago and decided it would be fun to take it again now that I've actually had a chance to play several of the games.
Day 01: Favorite Pokémon: Eevee. She's so cute! Sweet and innocent and very cat-like, licking and rubbing people. I just love using her as Radley's Pokemon in various storylines.
Day 02: Least favorite Pokémon: Aerodactyl. After terrible experiences with them in both Crystal and X, it is tempting to believe this Pokemon is downright sadistic or evil. In Crystal especially, it's absolutely maddening! It will claim it needs to recharge, but then when you try to attack, it attacks anyway and doesn't let you attack! What a liar.
Day 03: Favorite starter Pokémon: Aside from the two Let's Go starters, it's a hard choice between Bulbasaur and Chikorita.
Day 04: Favorite Eeveelution: I believe ultimately it's still Umbreon. I'm still enchanted as I was years ago when I first saw one in season 4. But I also love the other Friendship evolutions and Glaceon a lot too. And Vaporeon is growing on me a lot.
Day 05: Favorite legendary Pokémon: Articuno is still gorgeous. I'm also quite fond of Xerneas.
Day 06: Most terrifying Pokémon: That one that looks cute but has a second, deadly head with sharp teeth at the back ... that is pretty terrifying. Mawhile.
Day 07: Most adorable Pokémon: Eevee!
Day 08: Most amusing Pokémon: Still 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: I'm not sure. Ice, perhaps, or still Water.
Day 10: Least favorite Pokémon type: In thinking of what they are and where they hang out, still Sludge. In thinking of how frustrating they are to fight against, Steel.
Day 11: Do you nickname your Pokémon? Why/Why not? I definitely do. It seems lazy not to. In real-life, people that use Cat or Dog as names are not considered good with names.
Day 12: Favorite Pokémon attack or move: I like Swift in Crystal, but Return in X. A move that gets more powerful the more you're loved is just so squeeable.
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? Probably Normal and have a team of Eevees.
Day 15: Favorite region in the Pokémon world: Kanto and the Orange Islands, still, but also Johto and Kalos. For gaming, I am especially enchanted by Kalos. It's so lush and varied, and unlike some other areas, there are many interesting Pokemon right away instead of mostly bugs! I really can't fathom why the older games mostly have bugs to catch when you first start out. I can't imagine those would be terribly exciting to most players overall.
Day 16: If you could live anywhere in the Pokémon world, where would it be? I lean towards Kalos, but I'm not sure. I love things about all regions.
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 like Misty a lot more than I did as a kid. Brock is always cool too. I enjoy seeing those familiar characters while traveling! The Snowbelle Gym Leader in X is really cool too. And I actually like Sabrina in Crystal. I wish the anime hadn't made her so messed-up.
Day 19: Favorite Elite 4 member/Champion: Probably Lance.
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. For organizations overall, Team Rocket is iconic and classic and I think they could probably beat up most, if not all, of these other odd organizations that have popped up. Team Flare is really WTH in the game except for Lysandre (although they're better in the anime, I think), and Team Skull is just ... what.
Day 22: Favorite Rival: Probably still Gary. Although the X rival is nice. It's enjoyable to have a rival who isn't a complete jerk to you for most of the time. Still irritating to have him suddenly appear and demand a battle when I'm not expecting it or prepared for it, though. In fact, in some ways it's more annoying for a nice character to do that.
Day 23: A Pokémon which reminds you of a friend: Raichu
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: X
Day 28: What did you nickname your rival? When I played Crystal, I didn't bother looking up the rival's name and completely and totally randomly named him Carl. Lol. In playing SoulSilver, I've just allowed him to keep his real name.
Day 29: Favorite Pokémon tune or song: Lavender Town theme and Pokemon Tower theme. It's interesting that most towns didn't seem to have anything very stand-out for theme music, or several would use the same one, and then suddenly there's Lavender Town. Haunting, sad, and sweet all at once.
Day 30: Most nostalgic element of Pokémon: Favorite anime episodes like Holy Matrimony!, which I have very fond memories of from the past.
Day 01: Favorite Pokémon: Eevee. She's so cute! Sweet and innocent and very cat-like, licking and rubbing people. I just love using her as Radley's Pokemon in various storylines.
