Pokémon Quiz (Stolen)

Stole it from
acidapluvia who stole it from
woogle.
( 1) What is your favorite Pokemon from Red/Blue/Yellow? Why?
Growlithe. At the time tigers had temporarily replaced raccoons as my favorite animals. And Growlithe is very similar to a tiger. Actually, before I got the games, I thought Growlithe was a feline.
( 2) What is your favorite Pokemon from Gold/Silver/Crystal? Why?
Offhand, I'd say Lugia. I'd say its my favorite likely due in part to Pokémon 2000. It made me insanely jealous when Ash got a ride on the Lugia from that movie.
( 3) What is your favorite Pokemon from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald? Why?
This one is tough, as I didn't really connect with the majority of the new Pokémon from the game. In fact I've used very few Pokémon from it. I can't really say which one I liked the most. (As a side note, I don't think I've ever owned a Lugia. :()
( 4) What is your favorite Pokemon from Diamond/Pearl? Why?
My interest dropped midway through this one, but I was keeping enough of an eye on this game to easily choose my favorite Pokémon from this. Lucario. And the movie had nothing to do with this one. I can't really say why I like it so much. I never got one. But it was the Pokémon I was most interested in collecting.
( 5) Did you ever watch the Pokemon anime? Who was your favorite character? Why?
Yes, I watched it. My favorite character is probably Sparky, Richie's Pikachu. It's the scruffy fur. :)
( 6)Have any specific favorite move in the game itself? Why?
Fire Blast. I've only trained a couple Pokémon with it. Its accuracy leaves a lot to be desired. But I was really into the Fire element and to an extent Japanese (though I never had the patience to learn that). And Fire Blast looks like it uses a Japanese (or maybe Chinese, I don't know) symbol for (I assume) fire.
( 7) Ever actually level all the way to level 100 before? How did it feel?
Yes. But I cheated. Duplicated Rare Candies. So it felt like cheating. But in a fun "nya-nya!" sort of way. I haven't ever reached L100 fairly.
( 8) Ever been one-shotted by a Pokemon much weaker than one of your own? Explain.
I'm sure I have. But I can't recall any specific instance.
( 9) Did you ever "catch 'em all?" How did it feel?
Nope.
(10) You know there are 500 Pokemon in existence now, right? Do you think they'll ever make more?
Yes, and, I'd be surprised if they didn't.
(11) How did you feel when Game Freak introduced Pokemon daycare and breeding back in G/S/C? Did you feel it was a bold move on their part considering that the "focus" of the Pokemon franchise was on children?
I found it kinda interesting, but it wasn't a big deal to me. Incidentally, does anybody else find it weird how a civilization with advanced technology like video phones, small balls that can capture creatures many times larger by turning them into light, and transfer physical real-life objects as computer data, doesn't have the slightest idea how Pokémon mate?
(12) Do you honestly feel that mammalian Pokemon should lay eggs?
Platypus lay eggs.
(13) Smeargle is renowned as the only Pokemon that can learn every single move in the game by
use of its Sketch ability. If you used a Smeargle, what dream moveset would you give it?
Tough question. Offhand, not choosing specific moves, I'd probably go with some sort of accuracy-lowering attack, paralysis attack, and a physical and a special attack of undecided types.
(14) What's your favorite evolution of Eevee? Why?
Narrowing this down... I barely know about the two new evolutions, I don't like Espeon or Jolteon... So either Flareon, Vaporeon, or Umbreon. I really can't choose. Flareon is super-fluffy, Vaporeon has those cool fins and is possibly my favorite Water Pokémon, and Umbreon has the dark element and those cool glowy markings.
(15) What's your favorite starting Pokemon? Why?
It ultimately comes down to which Pokémon I liked through all three evolutionary stages. ...Can anybody remind me what the water and grass choices in R/S were? Actually, that probably makes my decision easier. Hmm, it comes down to either Squirtle or Bulbasaur. They're two of the only Pokémon I can think of that had nice middle-stage evolutions. Although I'm not totally a fan of Venusaur or Blastoise. I'm gonna go with Bulbasaur, because I can think of more water Pokémon I'd enjoy having to make up for lack of Squirtle than I can thinking of grass Pokémon to make up for lack of Bulbasaur. Actually, I've very rarely used any grass Pokémon that weren't either Bulbasaur or Chicklita.
(16) What's your favorite legendary Pokemon? Why?
See my answer for #2.
(17) What's your favorite Pokemon type? Why?
Electric. Thunder Wave, ftw. :)
(18) Pokemon has went on to spawn several soundtrack CDs, particular from the movies. Any
particular favorite song?
I own 2BA Master, and the soundtracks for the first two movies. Can you guess the song that's my favorite? Think real carefully. Give up? The Legend Comes To Life. AKA, "Lugia's Song". Incidentally, I hear the song was changed some from the Japanese original. Unforutnately, I cannot find the original song anywhere. :(
(19) Did you like any of the Pokemon movies? Did you dislike any of the Pokemon movies?
Explain.
I used to like the first movie, despite how I heard that the critics and a lot of people thought it was lackluster. Then I watched Pokémon 2000 and later Pokémon 3, and now I'm gonna have to agree. Critics also disliked 2000 because you know from the start what Ash is going to do (collect three orbs to save the world). But I like specifics. I'm more interested in seeing how it happens than I am just the basic information. And thanks in part to Lugia (I'd like to note at this point my favorite Pokémon of all time is and will always be Growlithe), Pokémon 2000 is the best of the three movies I've seen. Though Pokémon 3 is certainly good as well.
(20) Do you feel Pokemon is childish?
Depends on where you look.
(21) If you woke up one day and you discovered that you'd been turned into a Pokemon, which
one would you be?
Okay, it's gonna come down to two choices. First, a random choice, as I likely wouldn't get to choose myself. Okay, 368, Gorebyss, evolution of Clamperl. ...Oh, wait. That's a fish. Okay, so that one is random assuming I woke up in the ocean. Let's try a different random one. One that I could wake up in my room as. 258. Mudkip. (Oh yeah, that's one of the R/S starters.) Water Pokémon again. Kinda hard to avoid. But at least this one I'd be able to head into the bathroom and fill the tub when my skin feels a little dry. Now, if I actually had some choice in my form (perhaps the entity that changed me knew what I'd like to be the most), it would definately be Growlithe, which I remind you all is my absolute favorite Pokémon.
(22) Do you feel Pokemon, now 10 years old, is starting to show its wear and tear?
Without a doubt. Come on, Nintendo, do something different with the series. I want real-time battles and an MMORPG. Or it could be less massive, like the Phantasy Star Online games. But I'm tired of the near-same battle system every game, with every quest being collecting 8 badges and becoming the Pokémon Champion whilst dealing with a ridiculous enemy "team".
(23) Could you ever see yourself not liking Pokemon? Explain.
Not likely. I won't likely be getting any more of the games if Nintendo continues reusing the current formula, but I still like the critters a lot.
(24) Did you play Pokemon with your buddies at school? How often? Weren't those the days?
Buddies?
(25) How much longer do you see yourself enjoying Pokemon?
Into the afterlife. In fact, God willing, I'm gonna be one in a fantasy life. :)
