I have nicknamed a lot of mine. It's gotten to the point where I would sit for a while and think before I give them a name. Aggron's probably the best example as far as good names go because I really think it suits him.
Casual battling is just as good. I'll be fair and just make a team that hasn't been EV trained ^_^ I'm not missing a lot of Pokemon on my Dex, just less than 100 to go. Event Pokemon won't count so once you get all non-event Pokemon I believe Professor Juniper awards you something. Forgot what it was.
If you want, I could explain EV training one day just in case you struggle with the PWT. You can also look it up online, in fact I think they could explain it better than me. Though I just EV train because there's not a lot for me to do so I just do it to pass the time.
I honesty don't like having glasses, but I can't see we without them, so I lose out no matter what. I'm always afraid I'm going to lose them or break them by accident (though I've been lucky most of the time), but it's better than putting something in your eye and taking it out.
Yeah, I always get scared whenever I think about them. My brother wears contacts though, and he thinks I'm a wuss (and a terrible role model of a big sister). He says you don't even fee anything. >.<
Do you plan on playing BW2 once X & Y comes out tomorrow? I'd really like to battle/trade with you sometime :3
So what kind of Pokemon do you like, besides the ones listed? I like Aggron a lot simply because its strong and heavy. Nicknamed him Ox King and I think it suits him :D
Speaking of nicknames, the only FFIX name I nicknamed my Pokemon is my Swanna, and I use her for flying. Thus that's why I named her Freya.
I bet that's going to look great. I always get squeamish with contacts >.> I sometimes wish I had them because I have heterochromia but I'm afraid I'll accidentally damage my eye.
I've heard a bunch of crazy ideas on it over the years. Someone once said that studying black magic transforms them into a creature like that. But I've also heard that it's just an artistic exaggeration of how the hat would cast a shadow over the person's face. We'll probably never get an official answe. XD. What are you doing for your cosplay?
Oh, that sounds pretty interesting. C: do you care to share any of your writing? I'd be very interested in read some if you'd let me. And, yeah, I know it gets better with time in practice, as all things. Doesn't make it that great night now though. XD
The are. xD I always get curious about the (especially older ones) that just have glowing eyes under their hats. They're implied to be ordinary humans except in FFIX. It gets even weirder in the Tactics games (especially Advance and A2) where their faces suddenly turn into black with big glowing eyes if you change them over from another class. Yet for some reason it's only humans that it happens to. xD
