-Pick Gender/OT based off the lead singers name of whatever band I'm currently listening to
-Nickname Pokemon in same fashion, but include bands or other members names -Use pre-made team from other version including random Pokemon I haven't used previously. -Only finish replaying if I need to RNG events/legendaries, otherwise get bored and give up |
-I always try to have a move of each type
-Use every HM needed for the game -Use female playable character, if that is available -I also always start with a male starter, unless I had a Chikorita -Pick my favorite starter on the first version of the generational trio I buy, and so on -Always use my starter on my team |
- Every time I play FR/LG, I train my Pokemon to level 50 before battling Kogga. It takes a long time, but it pays off later :)
- I always pick a male starter (If I get a female, I restart the game). - I tend to always have an Electric and a Ghost Pokemon in my team. Well.... that's about it. |
1. I always play as a girl.
2. Always go with my real name. 3. Always nickname the Pokemon I know I'm going to keep. |
Ever since Crystal finally gave the option to play the girl, I play her even if I prefer the boy's design.
I always use the starter. I use the "main" legendary(Mewtwo, Lugia, Rayquaza etc.) since the story pretty much gives it to you(especially in Black/White). I try to have team that's as elemental as possible: water(including ice), fire, grass(to represent the nature aspect of earth), electric, rock/ground/steel(one of these 3 to represent earth) and flying(to represent wind). I've always loved the ideas of combining the elements; it just feels so natural. If I get a hybrid that gives me an extra slot, I squeeze in a non traditional element. |
I still press down + B when catching a Pokemon.
And up until recently, whenever starting a new game, I would always get the potion from the PC |

Other traditions I do: - Keep my starter in my party at all times, except when the situation requires that I use a different team of Pokemon. - My team usually has a Fire-type, a Water-type, an Electric-type, a Grass-type, and two other types. (usually a Ground-/Rock-type and a Psychic-type, but that can change; I think the TCG influenced me somehow. =P) - I never nickname my Pokemon. - I typically save my game in a Pokemon Center. - I save my Rare Candies for IV checking. (Yes, I'm that kind of person =P) - I fight every trainer on a route before going to the next route. - I fight every trainer in a gym; if a gym allows me to skip a trainer if I get a quiz question right, I purposely get it wrong. - I visit every building and talk to every NPC when I first visit an area. - If I want a certain Pokemon on my team, I try to aim for one with a gender that fits it best. - My Water Pokemon typically knows Surf and Ice Beam. - My Fire Pokemon typically knows Flamethrower. - My Electric Pokemon typically knows Thunderbolt. (Galvantula was the rare case where it knew Thunder instead) - My team usually has a regional bird Pokemon for flight purposes. - If there's a legendary or event Pokemon that I can't seem to catch, I keep resetting the game until I catch it. (I wonder if there are people out there who don't reset the game when they fail to catch a legendary...) - I save my Master Ball for the hardest legendaries. - Since Gen IV, I've saved my Nuggets as trade fodder for GTS as an extra incentive to trade for my Pokemon. - I never ask for unreasonable trades in GTS; I've never requested anything above Level 50, and I try to make fair trade requests (i.e. your starter for my starter, your legendary for my legendary + my held item, etc.). |
Always play as male
Always choose a water starter Always hatch pokemon in the prettiest place :3 |
Play as a female
Use my real name Always choose a water starter (Except in Pokemon Heartgold. I have Typhlosion.) Save my rare candys All male team Capture legendaries after beating the game. |
I always plan out my team to make sure I have a type advantage against every type lol :)
|
My traditions consist of the following:
Grab the Fire Starter. Talk to everyone in the town or village for valuable info and awesome freebies. Have a ghost in my team (I love me ghosties). Have a cat in my team. Give my Pokemons strange and vulgar names. That about rounds it out for my traditions. |
