Which item do you find yourself using the most during battles and why? Also, do you prefer items or no items at all?
I do prefer using items, as they add more fun to matches than straightforward punching, kicking, jumping, and hitting finishing-attacks. Though, if opponents wish not to use any items at all, I don't always mind. As for which ones I prefer, that would likely have to be hammer. Although it makes your player harder to control and you're unable to use the item very long in general, hammer is still quite powerful, and it could deal some major amount of damage. Second favorite is likely Poké Ball; as soon as you get a hold of one, it gives you some feeling of mystery as to which Pokémon it might be sending out, which, I believe, is one thing that makes this particular item so fun to use. We're also able to throw it towards opponents as some rock of sorts, causing damage. As for third, I would say light-saber (I'm not sure if this is what most of us call it, but you know).
