Yes, took several hours on two separate occasions.

Hmmm...I never bought the games, but I remember first seeing the Maiden's Peak episode at a friend's house, so I guess Gastly is the first one that stands out to me.

Because of Pokemon? No. I do very well in school, but I still waste time on random things.

They're fine. People who want to do the puzzles can do them, and many who can't can just check a walkthrough. Still, I like them because they kind of take your mind off the battling a little, which can be refreshing.

Pokemon is an on and off thing for me. I'm long past the days where I'd spend all day playing with it, but I still recognize it as an interesting concept that I can play around with when I'm bored. That said, it's never a good idea to let people at school know you like it, because there's...

Caves present a challenge, and provide a sense of accomplishment when completed. Plus, there are too many cave-only Pokemon to warrant there being fewer caves in one game.

Johto was pretty bad, but the worst part I remember was that string of episodes between the third and fourth gyms (Two Hits and a Miss to Howl of the Houndoom) where literally nothing happened - Brock gave back Vulpix, that's all.

No, never. I got into Pokemon a bit late among my friends, so all the sad moments (Butterfree leaving, Ash turned to stone) were kind of ruined for me long beforehand.

A shiny Rhyhorn in gold and a shiny Ratatta in Fire Red. Honestly, they put Shinies in because after RBY they realized people would refuse to stop playing even after catching all 150 (beating the game) so they added an extra challenge (catching shinies of all the Pokemon) for those who had a...

Clarinet and piano. Been playing the latter since I was 5.

Don't you just go to the header and change the map name in the "New Name" space?

Before I started playing, my friend told me playing as a girl was easier because the male trainers wouldn't battle as hard against you. I actually believed him, so I never played as Brendan.

Ninetales, Espeon, and Dragonair, but I do have a bit of a first and second generation bias.

I haven't played in a while, but I recall: Crystal Golem Xatu Magneton Dewgong Houndoom Hitmontop Yellow Pikachu Charizard Blastoise Dugtrio Primeape Chansey
