Explain why you chose your two Pokémon
THESE WERE REALLY HARD CHOICES HOW DARE YOU EXPECT ME TO MAKE SUCH DIFFICULT DECISIONS. /pouts

*ahem* With the starter I was torn completely between Treecko and Snivy. I absolutely adore them both; they're everything that Grass types should be imo. They're agile, tricky, dexterous, sneaky and most of all they can take a punch. These are all qualities I associate largely with Grass type Pokémon and I feel that these two starters summarize them very well; as for how I decided between the two, Luke chose Treecko for me :p

Choosing a second Pokémon was also incredibly difficult, but easier :D I was stuck between Sewaddle (my favourite Grass type), Foongus (my second favourite), and Snover (it's just really cool and interesting xD), but I chose Foongus because it's just utterly adorable. Look up at it's sprite and tell me I'm wrong! The way it moves it's little arms around n'awwww <333 I've always loved Foongus from the start partially because it's freaking adorable, but also because I love Poison types (Grass/Poison in particular), so there wasn't much chance of me disliking the little mushroom Pokémon. I also love it's evolution because despite being a huge derp face, it's actually pretty cute and can make for an incredibly interesting team member in a battle (seriously, if you've never tried using an Amoonguss I definitely recommend it). The reason I chose it over the other two is simply because Snover's evolution is horrific and I fear that Sewaddle would be chosen by everyone and I'm vain like that. xD

Partner Pokemon: Snivy & Roserade

Topic Answer: I picked these two Pokemon cos Roserade is my fave Grass-type in general which hits hard and Snivy is my fave Grass-type starter.

I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THAT CHOOSING A GRASS-TYPE STARTER IS DIFFICULT. I APOLOGIZE FOR MAKING THIS HARD. I mean, welcome aboard, you two! <3

Let's see. I chose Chikorita and Leavanny. Everytime I begin a playthrough on Silver or Soulsilver, I always choose Chikorita. Not Totodile, not Cyndaquil. I know that choosing a starter would not do much help in the 1st gym *sometimes*, but you can always train them. My Chikorita is easy to train, and always cooperates when in battle. :D

There's a different reason on why I chose Leavanny. When I first saw Sewaddle on the anime, I completely fell for it. Like...I wanted one for my game. So I went ahead and caught one at Pinwheel Forest. Trained it, and it evolved into a Swadloon. Back then, I wasn't fully aware of the whole new set of Pokemon, so I was sure that Swadloon was Sewaddle's final form. As Swadloon reached L26 in one battle, it evolved again. I was like "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE WHAT." And it evolved into a Leavanny. Alongside another Pokemon I had, it was my powerhouse Pokemon. :D Since then, it is considered as my second favorite grass-type Pokemon alongside Meganium. <3

Topic Answer: Why? I had always been a fan of tortoise/turtle shaped Pokemon so Turtwig suits me just fine. I chose Simisage based of design, it looks rather......unique, I guess.

I just love Grass types, I'll choose the Grass type starter every time I play a new game , except for my Pokemon White, lol!!!

Topic Answer: Chikorita is just cool imo. Not because it looks cool but she's very underrated and I've smoked Falkner with just Chikorita in SS before. I picked Exeggutor because he's also Psychic type and a very reliable Grass Pokemon.

Paha, that's the exact same reason I love Sewaddle. xD It's so freaking cute in the anime! The way it playfully swings from tree to tree and the nuzzling thing it does to communicate and sdljgd so cute! It's impossible not to fall in love with it x] One thing I am curious about though; how could you not have seen Leavanny if you'd watched that episode? They were in the same episode and it says Leavanny evolves from Sewaddle xD But yeah I agree, that episode does a lot for Sewaddle's appeal and really turned it into a lovable Pokémon indeed <3

Topic Answer: Turtwig is the only grass pokemon that is also part ground, which I love (cuz ground types rule). I love Torterra's name, design, moveset. (physical grass starter, what'll they think up next?! :P) and turtwig is adorable. As for Parasect, I love that pokemon! I LOVE spamming spore, and while not the best grass type (at least not in third gen which is where I used it) it's still an awesome pokemon with the grass typing so there!

As for sewaddle, aw man I love those guys! My leavanny was awesome (before she died in my nuzlocke) and was really strong. And sewaddle is so cute! :D

Welcome you three. <3 Great to see ya here in this serene forest. :D

I see we have another Chikorita fan here! Kudos to ShinyUmbreon. :D I adore the Chikorita family as well! I know it's a bit underrated when used during game, but you can contain its adorableness! :D

I wasn't fully aware of it until after my Swadloon evolved. I wasn't paying attention!

I wouldn't see a problem in starting a new topic. Were here to talk about Grass Pokemon in general right?

I don't use them all the time but during gameplay's I try to get ahold of one. In HG/SS I liked using Bellossom. Shes actually really good and I also like using Vileplume and Victrebell as well for FR/LG. In Platinum I liked using Roserade and in R/S/E I would try to use Shiftry or Ludicolo.

Topic Answer: I usually use a grass type Pokemon in every game, they're honestly great battlers. Since I'm kind of a status-condition user, they're also something I treasure in my team xD.So far I've used :Victreebel, Vileplume,Roserade,Breloom,Sceptile and Serperior xD. I might have a go with Sunflora or Parasect some time soon.

bulbasuar is gen 1 pokemon :P :P and Bulbasaur is the only one I really, really like. I also love bulbasaur because of its fast growth rate. It is very easy to raise and levels of up quickly.
lilligant bcuz it is cute.

Guys just a note, the rules state "5. Any member here is more than welcome to start a topic. However, don't start a new topic if the current one hasn't died down for more than 1 day." so bare that in mind in future as the current topic was certainly not dead and shouldn't have been replaced yet, so it's up to Megan which topic she'd prefer to stay for now. :)

Woo, finally another Parasect fan! :D I love that over-grown mushroom, it's so much fun to use in-game and it's moves are really interesting for competitive battle :D Shame it dies incredibly easily to anything that's super effective against it because Parasect could be a proper tank if used against the right enemies :3 It's an adorable Pokémon and in my opinion it's very underrated, but I suppose based on it's stats not too many people would be open to trying it out xD Understandable tbh! But who wouldn't want a giant mushroom on their team? B)

Um... thanks for that, OzCake xD Originally, I have plans to start "topic-discussing" until tomorrow. So MidnightShine, I'll keep your suggestion for tomorrow's first official topic. Right now, we are still discussing about our partner Pokemon. :D

With that, welcome aboard for those who just joined. Avishka, can you expand a bit on exactly why Lilligant is cute? Have you seen it in an anime episode? It is good @ battling? Anything like that? I'm really interested to see that.

All right, I really want to get back into clubbing again, so here I am~!

Name: Cirno
Partner Pokemon: Snivy (oh my godd how I wish I could choose Chikorita too) and Whimsicott
Password: Go, Snivy, use Leaf Storm!
Topic Answer: I didn't start loving Snivy until a little while after B/W's release. Its line was all right to me at first, but eventually later down the line, something just "clicked" with me and Snivy. <3 Plus it can get pretty strong with Swords Dance + Leaf Blade, which is one of my favorite comboes.

Whimsicott is reallyyyy cute (like Snivy) and fluffy, plus really fun to play with! I love the moves it learns and can't seem to keep it off my team no matter what now. :DD

But yeah, I also adore Chikorita because it is really cute (yep, I love cute). It's rather weak and doesn't learn many good moves, but does make a decent wall in the game when evolved.

Lilligant can focus on Quiver Dancing, etc. And its artwork are my favorites from all the grass pokemon and it is stunningly beautiful!~ <3
the sprites are also cute <3

YAY CIRNY! Welcome aboard to the leafy forest <3. I did knew that you'd be choosing Whimsicott for some reason, because it's been your favorite! :3 I have a Cottonee in my game but I have yet to evolve it, I need a Sun Stone for that. D:

I actually adore Celebi! One of my favorite grass-type legendaries alongside Virizion. Also, expand a bit on why Snivy is cute. I know it's cute but...any reason why? xD

Ahh, okay! I actually like the Shiny sprite a lot more than the regular. It's going to take some time to find/RNG a shiny Petilil to evolve it to shiny Lilligant. I do agree, it is "stunningly beautifuuuul :D"

Kay, now I'm starting a new topic! MidnightShine brought this topic before so now I'm finally approving it as first official group topic: Grass-Types, how often do you use them in the games?

Partner Pokemon: Treecko and Nuzleaf

Topic Answer: I don't force myself to use grass-types, but if I happen to stumble upon one, I'll use it :3

But if I have a choice between treecko and another starter, or can get a nuzleaf I'll always take Treecko <3 that's my only conscious thoughts about grass types :D
