VisionofMilotic January 19th, 2018 3:09 PM

Articuno, don't care what people say about it. There will always be a special place for it in my heart because it is so ridiculously beautiful. The sound it makes is the first time I really paid attention to a pokemon's cry, it's like a song.

Misty's Psyduck or Dawn's Piplup?

noa January 19th, 2018 5:00 PM

Misty's Psyduck, so cute lol

Zapdos or Raikou?

VisionofMilotic January 19th, 2018 5:38 PM

Man, tough questions today, these are all mons I like. I think I have to go with Zapados though. He's more familiar to me from the Power of One movie. I also got more acquainted with using it from my last run of Soul Silver. He's really good post game, and helped me get through the battle frontier. I also like how his plotline is tied to Lt Surge. Both Raikou and Zapdos are extremely good Pokemon, both are well-designed.

Flygon or Garchomp?

XNaut January 19th, 2018 5:39 PM

Garchomp

Azumarill or Lopunny?

VisionofMilotic January 19th, 2018 6:35 PM

Azumarill

Boss fight with Evice from Coloseum or Greevil from XD: Gale of Darkness?

PageEmp January 20th, 2018 1:51 AM

The Coloseum thing. Don’t understand what this is but I think Coloseum is better as a game so yeah

Donphan or Gliscor?

XNaut January 20th, 2018 12:37 PM

Donphan

Incineroar or Arcanine?

Janp January 20th, 2018 1:23 PM

Arcanine! Litten line is my least favourite out of Alola starters.

Steven or Wallace?

正真正銘 January 20th, 2018 6:23 PM

This is a hard choice, but I will pick Steven.

Deoxys Attack forme or Deoxys Defense forme?

VisionofMilotic January 20th, 2018 6:29 PM

Steven.

Wallace is fun in his own way, he's artsy and glamorous. But Steven is the character that had the most thought put into it and develops a real friendship with the player. This alone makes me prefer Steven, especially in Oras. He is so involved in gen 6 from giving you the eon flute to going through the delta episode by your side.

Also Steven is always introduced at a higher difficultly level than Wallace. In Ruby and Sapphire he is the league champion, and Wallace is a gym leader. In Emerald Wallace rises in the ranks with help of Steven, but Steven is still clearly the final boss with Pokemon more than 20 levels higher than Wallace, closer to Mt Silver Red.


EDIT: Sorry! You answered the question before me, I missed you. Let me answet YOUR question now 正真正銘

Deoxys defense. I like the speed form best of all, but between attack and defense I would pick defense because powerful as Attack form is it's more intimidating for me to use. It just takes one aqua jet to die.

Red as a character and trainer or Blue?

noa January 20th, 2018 9:24 PM

Blue. I love Blue!

Moltres or Entei?

strangerhypno January 20th, 2018 9:53 PM

Entei, Moltres's design is too basic. Maybe it's a good thing but Entei looks a lot more distinct, like a powerful force of nature, and it was made the focus of the third Pokemon movie. Moltres was relegated to a plot device to evolve Ash's Fletchinder in the anime and a pokemon weapon in the 2000 movie.

Politoed or Poliwrath

Damien.aspiring.fandev January 20th, 2018 11:20 PM

The Go-Rock Squad grunt with the politoed was a gag back in the first Ranger,
however I'm going to type poliwrath because that evolution doesn't require
trading...

"In the sky"(PR:GS) or "Soaring the sky"(ORAS)?

正真正銘 January 21st, 2018 12:38 AM

There are all such good music themes! I think i liked Soaring the Sky better though.

Inverse battle or Rotation battle?

Janp January 21st, 2018 12:40 AM

Rotation all the way.

Battle Maison or Battle Tree?

VisionofMilotic January 21st, 2018 4:20 AM

Battle Tree

The rewards are better, shiny gible or dratini and you actually get experience.

Zinnia or Lance?

XNaut January 21st, 2018 11:00 AM

Lance

Gen 1 battle music or gen 5 battle music?

Just only the battle music for gen 1 and gen 5.

Do you mean the core games from said periods?
If so, gen 5 : the OSTs have a more instrument-like soundfont.

D,P&Pt soundfont or HG&SS soundfont?

正真正銘 January 21st, 2018 1:16 PM

I like both soundfonts, but I like the D,P&Pt soundfont better.

The original Ruby/Sapphire or Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire?

Janp January 21st, 2018 1:42 PM

Ruby/Sapphire. Their remakes changed the story in pretty boring way, changed some locations to worse and were easy. On the other hand, they had great post-game and were still good remakes. But not that good as originals.

Male or Female Meowstic?

VisionofMilotic January 22nd, 2018 6:26 AM

Both look cute. I think I will pick female because at a glance I like its movepool better, even though I would give the edge to the male on design. He reminds me of Luna from Sailor Moon.

Mega Mewtwo X or Y?

ZeoStar January 26th, 2018 5:48 PM

Mega Mewtwo X

Truant or Slow Start?

VisionofMilotic January 27th, 2018 5:43 AM

Either would be a nightmare, but I think Truant is truly the worst possible ability in the game so I will pick Slow Start. Moving slower with reduced attack is better than not being able to move at all. With Regigigas you might be able to stall your opponent out with status, protect etc. With Slaking the reverse is going to happen-- you will be stalled out, and never ever move. I've defeated Slakings this way myself. Also with Slow Start it goes on a long time but can eventually end. Truant never ends!

Crystal or HGSS?

正真正銘 January 27th, 2018 10:00 AM

I would have to say HG/SS. I didn't grow up playing Crystal, but I do like the 8bit design and feel of those games. But HG/SS added so many features which is why I prefer them.

Zigzagoon or Bidoof?

Damien.aspiring.fandev January 27th, 2018 10:18 AM

A bidoof was an apprentice back in Wigglytuff's exploration guild,
and evolved into bibarel they'd be capable of learning most HM moves,
which makes bidoof stand out. Zigzagoon however, aside being reverred
by rider Willie in Colosseum, reminds me of someone I miss, so...
Zigzagoon...

Hmmmm...
Advanced Generation anime gym OST or Super Smash Bros 4 gym OST?
(I'm surprised nobody made a mashup of those two... or a mashup of the XY gym and the ORAS gym... or all of these together...)

EDIT: Also, are we allowed to give three choices?

正真正銘 January 27th, 2018 10:26 AM

I will have to pick the Advance Generation OST. The Smash 4 version transitions into the evolution theme and that kinda of ruined it for me.

Battle Tower or Battle Factory?

XNaut January 27th, 2018 12:47 PM

I'll pick Battle Tower for now and I've never played in the Battle Factory before.

The old basic Ditto trading card or the new basic Ditto trading card?

VisionofMilotic January 28th, 2018 5:25 AM

I never collected any of the trading cards, but I'll try to answer your question best I can. I hope I'm googling the right cards.

Based on what I have in front of me I prefer the newer one. The Ditto's coloration is much softer than before and the background is also more attractive with the dimmer lights and hint of shimmer.

Is Kris the cuter sprite or is Lyra the loveliest?

Janp January 28th, 2018 8:48 AM

Kris all the way. I was never fond of Lyra.

Fusion Flare or Fusion Bolt?

XNaut January 28th, 2018 1:15 PM

Fusion Flare

Dedenne or Emolga?

Janp January 29th, 2018 1:22 PM

Dedenne, that Fairy-Type do it for me.

N or Dennis Ghetsis?

ZeoStar January 29th, 2018 4:36 PM

Ghetsis

Ice Beam or Blizzard?

XNaut January 29th, 2018 5:25 PM

Blizzard

Incineroar or Delphox?

VisionofMilotic January 29th, 2018 9:01 PM

Delphox, definitely. A lot of folks don't like Fennekin's final form, but I think its really cool- a fire witch!

Grab a honedge by the hilt or sleep in the desert next to a circle of hungry Cacturne?

ZeoStar February 8th, 2018 5:43 PM

Grab a honedge

Espeon or Umbreon?

XNaut February 8th, 2018 6:13 PM

They're both helpful in their own way. I'll pick Espeon.

Rotom or Bergmite?

strangerhypno February 8th, 2018 6:19 PM

Bergmite, because a certain Rotom in Alola is annoying, sorry Rotoms.

Gorebyss or Lumineon

VisionofMilotic February 8th, 2018 7:40 PM

Lemme try the Gorebyss,

Wake up and find a Drowzee sitting on your chest, opening its mouth to devour your dreams or wake up and see the person you love asleep beside you...with the face of a Zoroark.

strangerhypno February 8th, 2018 9:19 PM

That Drowzee scenarios sounds nightmarish. I'd go with the Zoroark, at least it won't devour me.

Dive with a Mantine or ride Skarmory in the sky

XNaut February 8th, 2018 9:30 PM

Ride Skarmory in the sky.

The episode Go West, Young Meowth or the episode Holy Matrimony?

VisionofMilotic February 9th, 2018 3:44 AM

Holy Matrimony definitely! Oh the antics of Jessebelle, and Growly aww... I wanted to see more of him :)

Try to outsing a Jigglypuff to save your life or try to win a fist fight with a Primeape to save your life?

Damien.aspiring.fandev February 10th, 2018 5:54 AM

My muscular building isn't much developed, and I can't hold breathe long either,
but I can still get some air whilst singing, so trying to outsing a jigglypuff might be
the best choice(and probably the least painful)...

Would you rather be
a pokémon (in the MD world), a trainer or a styler-equipped ranger ?

(see what I did here DS era players?)

XNaut February 10th, 2018 12:18 PM

Trainer

The episode The Song of Jigglypuff or the episode Clefairy Tales?

VisionofMilotic February 10th, 2018 2:12 PM

Oooo! Either one. I guess Clefairy Tales because of the smack down.

A beautiful, graceful and mysterious Dragonair or a big, sweet and mighty Dragonite?

Miah February 11th, 2018 11:37 AM

:eyes:

Maybe the latter??

Gen 4 or Gen 5?

VisionofMilotic February 11th, 2018 12:49 PM

Gen 5 for me. I think it has the best story of the main series games and character development. I also loved the introduction of seasons. they're beautiiful games. Gen 4 has excellent pokemon perhaps the better of the two, its a well-made game as well. However, I liked Unova best of the two because it picks up the pace from Sinnoh a bit and I liked N as a rival more than Barry.

Travel by bike or by running shoes?

XNaut February 11th, 2018 1:03 PM

Bike

Pokemon Stadium graphics or Pokemon Sun/Moon game graphics?

VisionofMilotic February 11th, 2018 4:22 PM

Stadium graphics. I'm still trying to get used to the look of Sun and Moon. Since the focus of Stadium is all on the pokemon it does that one thing it sets out to do well. I don't have issues with the way the graphics for the pokemon are with Sun and Moon, but I don't like the human sprites, the characters look overly mature, kinda wooden and oversized for me.

Colress' battle theme or N's battle theme?

Janp February 12th, 2018 10:07 AM

I had to go to youtube and listen to both of the themes, because I play without music most of the time and I liked N's better.

Making ROM Hack or Fan Game?

XNaut February 12th, 2018 12:14 PM

Fan game

Riding in Mr. Briney's boat or riding the Akala Ferry?

Miah February 12th, 2018 3:09 PM

Dunno about the latter so, riding in Mr. Briney's boat.

Rain Dance or Sunny Day?

ZeoStar February 12th, 2018 4:08 PM

Rain Dance

Mega evolution or Z-moves?

noa February 12th, 2018 8:37 PM

Z-moves

Audino or Chansey?

XNaut February 12th, 2018 8:44 PM

Chansey

Chikorita or Turtwig?

strangerhypno February 12th, 2018 9:48 PM

Chikorita, 100% if there's a johto starter in the mix i'll pick it

Articuno or Moltres?

VisionofMilotic February 13th, 2018 3:11 PM

I prefer Articuno. but I like what Moltres represents though and the way its flame was used in the anime.

Norman or Whitney?

XNaut February 13th, 2018 3:15 PM

Norman

Erika or Gardenia?

VisionofMilotic February 13th, 2018 6:38 PM

Definitely Erika, she is so very classy. I admire that.

Secret base or the contests?

ZeoStar February 17th, 2018 4:31 PM

Contests

Nidoking or Nidoqueen?

VisionofMilotic February 18th, 2018 4:34 AM

I like the queen best. She looks to me the most regal and like a mother to her realm. I like both though.

Have Misty for a roommate or have Iris for a roommate?

XNaut February 18th, 2018 12:44 PM

Misty

Champion Wallace or Champion Diantha?

VisionofMilotic February 18th, 2018 2:30 PM

I think Wallace is somewhat stronger,

Take a Charizard glide or soar on Latios/Latias?

Janp February 19th, 2018 10:27 AM

I don't like either, but I'll take Charizard glide.

Choosing Bulbasaur as starter to use in Sinnoh or Chimchar as starter to use in Kanto?

VisionofMilotic February 19th, 2018 11:24 AM

Bulbasaur, I like him better than Chimchar.

Have Norman as your father or Prof Oak as your Granfather?

XNaut February 19th, 2018 12:21 PM

Norman as my father

Swords of Justice or Lake Guardians?

VisionofMilotic February 19th, 2018 12:36 PM

Lake Gaurdians. I use Cobalion sometimes, but haven't used the other Swords of Justice just yet, though I'm sure they're all good. I have a little more experience with Lake Guardians and have used each of them more than once so I'm comfortable running them. Azelf I have used a lot and formed a team around him once.

The legendary duo (Lugia and Ho-oh) or the Legendary Beasts (Suicune, Entei and Raikou)

PageEmp February 28th, 2018 6:04 PM

The duo both both options are great

Registeel or Mesprit?

ZeoStar March 1st, 2018 5:19 PM

Registeel. I like Registeel more and more and recently was happy when I found it in Ultra Sun.

Fly or Aerial Ace?

EmTheGhost March 1st, 2018 8:00 PM

Aerial Ace, now that we don't have to worry about out-of-battle applications.

Oshawott or Popplio?

Arma March 1st, 2018 10:59 PM

Popplio! I mean, it's a seal =D

Speaking of which:
Seel or Spheal?

VisionofMilotic March 2nd, 2018 7:56 AM

They're both adorable, especially spheal. I will vote for Seel though if I have to pick because it evolves into Dewgong who has those big, sweet dark eyes!

Star in a hit movie with Diantha or journey to exotic lands with Cynthia excavating relics?

ZeoStar March 9th, 2018 4:25 PM

Journey with Cynthia

Choice Scarf or Choice Band?

strangerhypno March 9th, 2018 5:40 PM

Choice scarf, most of my favorite pokemon have snail speeds

Charizard or Typhlosion

XNaut March 9th, 2018 5:53 PM

Charizard

Rowlet or Hothoot

Brendino March 10th, 2018 12:11 AM

Rowlet is the superb owl.

Malasadas or Casteliacones?

blue March 10th, 2018 4:38 AM

Casteliacones

Saffron City or Goldenrod City?

VisionofMilotic March 10th, 2018 5:09 AM

Gotta be Goldenrod, everything is there-- the huge department store, gym, the magnet train, radio station, bike shop, underground.

Kalos or Alola?

XNaut March 10th, 2018 1:40 PM

Kalos

Vulpix or Fennekin

VisionofMilotic March 10th, 2018 2:27 PM

Shoot, I like both...err, I guess Vulpix, after all you get two cool Vulpix variations Alola and Kanto.

Hilda or Rosa?

PageEmp March 10th, 2018 11:25 PM

The first one. Definitely the first one.

Finneon or Carvanha?

XNaut March 10th, 2018 11:58 PM

Finneon

Watch the anime Pokemon League or battle the Elite Four on the Pokemon games

blue March 11th, 2018 4:18 AM

Battling the Elite Four in the Pokemon games is one of my favourite moments.

Roselia or Roserade?

VisionofMilotic March 11th, 2018 4:38 AM

I love roses so I think both are really cool, but I have to go with the much stronger final evo Roserade?

Suffer James childhood with an arranged marriage to a psychotic fiance who literally has a torture chamber for you or suffer Jesse's childhood living in poverty out in the cold with nothing but snow to eat and then lose your mother.

Janp March 11th, 2018 10:19 AM

You mean choosing between my past and future? I'll go with later XD

Beating any game using only your eyebrows or ribs?

VisionofMilotic March 14th, 2018 6:49 PM

Looks like I'm screwed either way, both will be super uncomfortable. But I guess the rib because I would see worse the other way.

Volkner or Elesa?

strangerhypno March 14th, 2018 6:53 PM

Elesa, though Volkner's cool as well with his backstory and friendship with Flint

Scyther or Scizor?

VisionofMilotic March 14th, 2018 7:00 PM

Tough, but I think Scyther looks the coolest, though I like both. Scizor is more powerful, but Scyther still can be put to use with his speed and some eviolite.

Play basketball with Electrode or help Victrebel brush his fangs?

XNaut March 14th, 2018 7:31 PM

I'll help Victrebel brush his fangs. Playing basketball with Electrode will most likely use explosion on me.

Litwick or Solosis

ZeoStar March 15th, 2018 3:49 PM

Litwick

Get frozen status or hit yourself in confusion 3 times

blue March 16th, 2018 3:51 AM

Frozen status. I hate confusion so much.

X-Scissor or Giga Drain?

XNaut March 16th, 2018 11:21 AM

Giga Drain

Psyduck or Slowpoke

PageEmp March 16th, 2018 7:35 PM

The latter I guess, used it less and has a part typing.

Palkia or Darkrai

Janp March 16th, 2018 11:19 PM

I don't like any of them, but I would choose Palkia over Darkrai.

Solo FireRed with only Pidgey or play Nuzlocke in Black 2, but every Pokémon you can catch is level 1 Rattata.

Hyzenthlay March 17th, 2018 12:17 AM

Nuzlocke. My Rattata would be in the top percentage of all Rattata!

Legendaries or Ultra Beasts?

XNaut March 17th, 2018 11:47 AM

Legendaries

Gallade or Espeon

Hyzenthlay March 17th, 2018 11:56 AM

Gee, probably Gallade?

Kanto city names or Johto city names?

Janp March 17th, 2018 1:31 PM

I feel like Johto has better names. They fit overall atmosphere of the region.

Using Quick Ball at the start of the encounter or waiting few turns and using Timer Ball?

Meadow March 17th, 2018 1:38 PM

I like using Quick Balls better — they can save me quite a bit of time, and I also prefer their design!

Pokémon B/W or Pokémon B2/W2?
