I always pick the character of the same sex as myself, although I have to say that Dawn's design (at least in Platinum, since I haven't seen the DP design) is certainly my favourite player character design to date. Both of the player characters introduced in this generation were absoutely...

BW2 certainly had the easiest league of the two sets, I had next to no trouble at all. I can't remember my exact team, but I remember having an issue with Caitlin. Other than that the whole league was pretty easy (only had to heal twice: before Caitlin and before Iris as a safety measure). BW...

I have yet to actually find a shiny myself, although a friend of mine had a shiny Absol, but would rather have had a Milotic - so I'm now in possession of this Absol.

There's so much to love about generation five. Seasons revive my love for the game after a long break - the new look is so refreshing, and the Pokémon based upon seasons also add a nice little something to the game. I feel like they could have done more with it, though. The seasonal events just...

On my first playthrough, in which I had next-to-no knowledge of the Pokémon of Unova, I picked the cover fossil. This was the right choice: Titouga is a cutie! I've got nothing against the design of Archeops, but it just can't measure up. I've never used that Plume line either, after discovering...

Firefox, OneNote, Pushbullet - in that order. These are the only things I actually use everyday, and so they're the only thing that I need shortcuts for. Useful little trick involving the taskbar: pressing the super (Windows) key and a number key that corresponds to a pinned application's...

1366x768. I do have a spare monitor lying about of 1440x900 lying about, but I didn't realise until I got my laptop that it only has a VGA port. Photo editing and web development are so much harder at this resolution. On the plus side, this laptop does everything that I want it do (as opposed to...

I've always been a fan of Deoxys - it's versatile as hell, what with all those additional forms, and looks brilliant (well, maybe not where the Defence form is concerned, but I'm just going to ignore that). If we're going to go purely on cosmetics, I'm going to say Deerling/Sawsbuck. It was...

Ghost Opera - Kamelot I've never understood why I love this over and above all of their other stuff, when there's other stuff that is undeniably better (Snow being a good example). I guess I'll just put it down to first-time-I've-heard-of-these-guys bias.

Learning things without realising that I have, bringing it up in a conversation many years later that doesn't affect my life in any way. That's about it, really.

Brendan and May get my vote - they're just so much more interesting, design-wise. Lead and Red are just so...plain. The Hoenn duo stand out, their characters are somewhat elaborated on (being related to Normal/Birch and having a common quest between them) and they have the more interesting...

I'm personally most fond of Singles and Triples. Singles keep things pure and basic, which is always nice. Triples are interesting, with the ability to only hit those adjacent to yourself. It's frustrating in some ways, but I think that's the fun of it. I don't dislike doubles, but I don't...

How do I go about making friendships? With difficulty. I never initiate conversation or, well, anything, really. It's not for being antisocial but more because I fear making people uncomfortable, so I kind of leave people to their own devices - if they want to talk to me, then they'll likely do...

Hoenn's starters are the better group. Whilst their second forms (Grovyle exempt) are absolutely disgusting, the first and final stages are infinitely better than what we were offered in Kanto. Sure, Charizard looks great but consider the other two. Squirtle and Charmander might be totally...

The Doctor Who soundtrack. Seriously, if I were able to do it without fearing that somebody would realise what I'm listening to by catching a glimpse of the album art I'd likely listen to it on the bus. Series 2 (Post-'96, obviously) gets my vote for favourite (and some day I shall get through...
