Pfft I don't plan on dying anytime soon. ;D Especially due to something as stupid as being burned by really hot water. I didn't want to figure out a better way to drain the pan, though, so I just pulled my sleeve over that hand and tried again. {X
Night, Roc [:
My first lvl100 was a female Staraptor w/ brave nature. I was oblivious to stuff like IV/EV/etc. at the time, though. I still have "her" now, mostly used for transportation or just as backup when I'm EV training.
My favorite of the Kanto starters is Squirtle. Johto is Totodile. I don't much like any Hoenn starter, so I picked Mudkip just for the high stats. Not a big fan of Sinnoh's starters, either. For Unova, probably Tepig.
