Hyzenthlay May 6th, 2018 1:40 AM

Let everything sit; I'm very sentimental. I'd rather keep my old games, and I can't imagine getting much money for them anyway, so it's not worth it.

Every Gym Leader has a full team of fairly strong Pokémon, or a team of 2 - 3 really strong Pokémon?

PageEmp May 6th, 2018 8:42 PM

A full team of mons.

Piplup or Bellsprout?

Adam Levine May 7th, 2018 3:27 AM

Piplup.

Fury Swipes or Fury Attack?

Hyzenthlay May 8th, 2018 8:35 AM

Probably Fury Swipes, even though it has lower accuracy.

Candice or Brycen?

Enpatsu Shakugan May 8th, 2018 10:48 AM

Candice, because she still wears a skirt in freezing weather.

Team Aqua or Team Magma coming out on top in the end?

Hyzenthlay May 8th, 2018 11:47 AM

Team Aqua, because pirates.

Team Flare or Team Skull?

Enpatsu Shakugan May 8th, 2018 9:24 PM

Flare, if only because red.

Courtney or Shiela?

Hyzenthlay May 9th, 2018 5:50 AM

Courtney, I hardly know anything about Shiela.

Koga and Janine or Tate and Liza?

Janp May 9th, 2018 12:29 PM

Koga and Janine. I never really liked Tate and Liza, but I always liked the development Koga gets in Gen I and II. Also Janine is one of my childhood crushes.

Motor Drive or Sap Sipper?

Hyzenthlay May 9th, 2018 1:13 PM

Sap Sipper; Grass-types are more common and the Pokémon that learn Motor Drive are fast anyway.

Become any Pokémon for a day or visit the Pokémon world for three days?

PageEmp May 11th, 2018 7:27 PM

Become any Pokémon for a day.

Komala or Minior?

strangerhypno May 11th, 2018 9:16 PM

Komala, been a fan of it since its reveal back in 2016.

Amoonguss or Shiinotic?

Hyzenthlay May 13th, 2018 5:13 AM

Amoonguss or Shiinotic?

Glad I'm not the only one!

Anyway, Shiinotic, because I was never much of an Amoonguss fan.

Braviary or Mandibuzz?

Janp May 13th, 2018 11:01 PM

Mandibuzz. It was badass design.

Let 1000 Electrodes explode into your face or get caught in Destiny Bond with Gengar that faints after that.

Hyzenthlay May 14th, 2018 3:26 AM

You mean in a real life situation? Whichever is least painful!

You're a Bug Pokémon and you have to choose between two marriage candidates, the gawky Shuckle or the enigmatic Accelgor?

PageEmp May 14th, 2018 4:16 AM

Accelgor.

Moon or UltraMoon?

Hyzenthlay May 14th, 2018 4:38 AM

Ultra Moon, it adds more to the game.

Pokémon Platinum or Pokémon Emerald?

Janp May 14th, 2018 9:36 AM

Emerald, just because I like Hoenn more that Sinnoh.

Having all of your Pokémon in one type of Ball or have each of them in different Ball?

Hyzenthlay May 14th, 2018 9:48 AM

One type, I catch every Pokémon with a default Poké Ball, no exceptions! This includes Legendaries, which... can take a long time, haha. If I could have a full team using Luxury Balls, I would.

Customise your PC Boxes and sort your Pokémon accordingly, or just leave things as they are?

PageEmp May 14th, 2018 7:17 PM

I’m probably too lazy to organise my box and I can just search for my mons so the second option.

Quilava or Charmeleon?

Meadow May 14th, 2018 7:27 PM

Quilava, because it's cuter! :D

Play Pokkén Tournament or play as a Pokémon in Super Smash Bros.?

Hyzenthlay May 15th, 2018 7:48 AM

Playing as Pokémon in SSB is fun, but I'd like to give Pokkén Tournament a try!

Main series or spin-offs?

Resolve May 15th, 2018 8:23 AM

Tough choice. I have a really soft spot for the first two games of the PMD series, but I'll go with the main series.

Nuzlocke your next game or just play through it regularly?

Hyzenthlay May 15th, 2018 9:20 AM

Play through regularly; chances are my next game will be Gen 8.

In Pokémon Stadium, do you prefer the Sushi-Go-Round mini game, or the Run, Rattata, Run mini game?

PageEmp May 16th, 2018 4:54 PM

Never played that game so neither

Gyarados or Staraptor?

VisionofMilotic May 16th, 2018 6:19 PM

Gyarados. I like Staraptor, great Pokemon but Gyarados has always been there for me. I raised one in literally every single gen.

Milotic with the ability marvel scale or Milotic with the ability competitive?

Hyzenthlay May 17th, 2018 7:52 AM

If I was battling competitively, I'd go with Marvel Scale, but on a standard playthrough Competitive is fine (and stat-reducing moves are far more frequent).

Rayquaza or Giratina?

Resolve May 17th, 2018 8:35 AM

Definitely Rayquaza although it probably can't compete with Giratina in the latter's tier without escalating into Anything Goes.

Pressure or Static on Zapdos?

Hyzenthlay May 17th, 2018 10:59 AM

I never found Pressure really useful (though it's annoying in PMD!), so I'll go with Static.

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/pokemon/images/1/16/MiloticSprite2.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/185?cb=20180108123725 OR https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/pokemon/images/7/7d/ShinyMiloticSprite2.png/revision/latest?cb=20180108123839

PageEmp May 18th, 2018 1:03 AM

The shiny one.

Gen3 or Gen6?

Resolve May 18th, 2018 2:38 AM

Gen 4 and the succeeding Gens all had a similar feel to them to be honest, I'll go with Gen 3 since there's nothing quite like it. :)

Magic Guard or Unaware on Clefable? :o

Hyzenthlay May 18th, 2018 8:06 AM

Magic Guard! Clefable is already tough to beat, and with this ability you can't wear down its HP with poison or burn!

Nidorina or Nidorino?

LadyJirachu May 18th, 2018 3:10 PM

Nidorina :) She's so sweet looking^^

Clefable or Clefairy? :3

Hyzenthlay May 21st, 2018 4:34 AM

Clefairy, it's just so cute!

Porygon-Z or Porygon2?

VisionofMilotic May 22nd, 2018 5:29 PM

I have been harmed less by Porygon 2 so that one I guess.

Kingdra with swift swim or Kingdra with sniper?

Resolve May 22nd, 2018 8:06 PM

I prefer Swift Swim.

Offensive or defensive Heatran?

Hyzenthlay May 23rd, 2018 1:13 PM

I almost always go offensive!

Serperior with Contrary or Greninja with Protean?

Meadow May 23rd, 2018 4:29 PM

Ash-Greninja is where it's at, but I still like Greninja with Protean a lot! :D

Team Flare or Team Skull?

ZeoStar May 23rd, 2018 4:59 PM

Team Skull. The little I know about Team Flare is from the post game in Ultra Sun.

Mega Steelix or Mega Aggron?

Resolve May 23rd, 2018 8:41 PM

Mega Aggron because it has a better typing and is somewhat more useful.

Kanto or Johto?

Meadow May 23rd, 2018 9:11 PM

I prefer Kanto's Pokémon over Johto's, but in terms of the region itself, I like Johto a whole lot more.

Poké Balls or Premier Balls?

Resolve May 24th, 2018 8:53 AM

I'd go out of my way to get non-generic Poké Balls.

Defeat Koga or Sabrina first?

Janp May 24th, 2018 11:32 AM

I always beat Sabrina first. Who would like to return back to Saffron anyway?

Moss Rock or Ice Rock?

Resolve May 26th, 2018 8:45 AM

Moss Rock due to having a more interesting feel to it.

Alola or Hoenn?

Hyzenthlay May 26th, 2018 10:40 AM

Admittedly I haven't play much of Hoenn. D: So I have to say Alola. Besides, it's based off the Hawaiian Islands. ^_^

If you were a trainer, would you want your Pokémon to follow you (like Ash's Pikachu) or carry them in their Poké Balls?

Enpatsu Shakugan May 26th, 2018 10:52 AM

Pokeballs. They exist for a reason.

Hats seem to be mandatory in the Pokemon universe. Would you abide or say "Yeah, I'll pass" and be a rebel?

Resolve May 26th, 2018 11:01 AM

...I'd rather be a rebel because I want my hair to be seen by the world.

Say yes or no to Team Rocket?

blue May 26th, 2018 11:34 AM

Say yes, it would be cool to give it a try!

Become a Flying-type Gym Leader or Dark-type Gym Leader?

Janp May 26th, 2018 12:14 PM

Flying-Type. Skyla is my favourite Gym Leader so I would fit with her.

Trying to catch teleporting Abra or Mareanie through SOS battle?

ZeoStar May 26th, 2018 5:41 PM

Mareanie, because I'd rather of Toxapex more than Alakazam

Shuppet or Duskull?

PageEmp May 26th, 2018 7:20 PM

Duskull.

Poochyena or Pidgey

Resolve May 26th, 2018 9:17 PM

Pidgey can at least use Fly.

Black or White Version?

blue May 27th, 2018 8:38 AM

White Version.

Join Team Galactic or Team Plasma?

Resolve May 27th, 2018 8:43 AM

I much prefer shit outfits over bowl cuts thank you very much.

Would you copy teams from Smogon or create your own? Assuming you play on Showdown of course.

Hyzenthlay May 27th, 2018 9:03 AM

I consult Smogon usually, since I'm not very knowledgeable on team-building, haha. Then again, most my battles are Randbats. ^_^;

Would you be okay with the next Pokémon game being a Kanto remake, or are you hoping those speculations are wrong?

blue May 27th, 2018 10:16 AM

I'd be okay with it. Even though we've visted Kanto a few times now, it has been almost 10 years since we've seen it in a mainseries game and so it'll be interesting to see how it compares!

Travel through Hoenn or Alola?

Resolve May 27th, 2018 10:55 AM

I'm not a fan of anything from Gen 7 to be perfectly honest, but as a region, Alola never fails to catch my attention. I've seen enough from Hoenn already, so I'll go with Alola.

Psychic- or Ghost-type?

Hyzenthlay May 28th, 2018 3:31 AM

I've always found Ghost-types a lot of fun to battle with!

Ice or Rock?

Resolve May 28th, 2018 5:14 AM

Ice even though it sucks more defensively.

Do you prefer double or triple battles?

blue May 28th, 2018 10:37 AM

Double battles by a mile.

Mauville City in RSE or ORAS?

Resolve May 28th, 2018 10:46 AM

I think the ORAS version fits the theme of the city better, Wattson and all.

Battle Frontier in Emerald or Gen 4?

VisionofMilotic May 28th, 2018 1:04 PM

4th gen because I liked the inclusion of Lady Caitlin's challenge + more new items you can get.

Be sentenced to drinking lethal quantities of muk's poison or beheading by Aegislash?

ZeoStar May 28th, 2018 3:24 PM

Beheaded, at least it would be instant.

Live in Dewford town or live in Sootopolis city

VisionofMilotic May 28th, 2018 5:07 PM

Sootopolis please! That's where I have always wanted to live, the architecture and landscape is so unique and you can dive and explore underwater caverns underneath your city!

Work at the looker bureau as a detective or work at the poke center as a doctor?

Resolve May 29th, 2018 1:20 AM

Detective. I'm not even gonna try to look the other way.

FRLG's or HGSS's rendition of Johto themes?

Janp May 30th, 2018 9:59 PM

HGSS

Catching legendaries with soaring or in Ultra Wormholes?

blue May 31st, 2018 3:44 AM

I prefer the Ultra Wormholes.

Kanto Gym Leaders or Hoenn Gym Leaders?

Hyzenthlay May 31st, 2018 5:04 AM

I love Winona and Wallace, but prefer most of Kanto's Gym Leaders!

Insect Badge https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/8/8a/Insect_Badge.png/75px-Insect_Badge.png or Jet Badge? https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/9/9c/Jet_Badge.png/75px-Jet_Badge.png

Resolve May 31st, 2018 5:57 AM

I prefer Jet. Not a fan of that green.

Johto Gym puzzles or Sinnoh Gym puzzles?

Hyzenthlay May 31st, 2018 6:08 AM

I haven't played enough of the Johto games to answer properly, but still, anything Sinnoh is a win for me! Although Snowpoint Gym was a nightmare. xD

Battle Tree or Battle Subway?

Resolve May 31st, 2018 9:58 AM

I like battling on a train, but I heard that the Battle Tree is less boring as a battle facility so I'll go with that.

Kanto or Johto Elite Four?

ZeoStar May 31st, 2018 7:00 PM

Kanto. Johto shares some of the same members, but they have weaker levels.

Rayquaza or Dialga?

VisionofMilotic May 31st, 2018 9:47 PM

Ray, my mega Ray.

Work at the Cerulean City gym with Misty and the sensational sisters or work at the Sootopolis City gym with Wallace and Juan.

Enpatsu Shakugan May 31st, 2018 9:53 PM

Gee... three stunning babes or two possibly homosexual guys? Hmm. Tough choice.


Porygon seizure scene on endless loop or gif of James' inflating breasts on the same loop?

Hyzenthlay June 1st, 2018 6:02 AM

The second one because that Porygon scene kills my eyes (even though the James one would too xD).

Jessie or James? Or Meowth?

VisionofMilotic June 1st, 2018 7:04 PM

You didn't say which, but I read you. Wallace and Juan both seem nice and polite so I'm sure you will be happy working there. You also have a beautiful city to live in at Sootopolis. Good luck my friend as a water pokemon trainer. I'll try to come up with a tougher choice next time!


If the crossed out answer is still viable than I pick Meowth!

I think I asked this one before in off-topic but not here.

Lose Pokemon you have ever had in every game and be forced to start over recollecting with nothing or keep all of the Pokemon you have but never catch, breed or receive another new pokemon ever.

PageEmp June 1st, 2018 9:31 PM

Neither lol

Ride on a Rapidash or ride on a Tauros?

Enpatsu Shakugan June 1st, 2018 10:34 PM

In YOUR fantasies, haha. I choose the girls.

For this question, Rapidash. It doesn't burn those it trusts, so I'd be fine. Pretty badass too to ride a fire horse.

Modern balls or acorn balls?

Hyzenthlay June 2nd, 2018 5:17 AM

I like an equal amount on both sides.

Poké Balls that increase the catch rate of certain Pokémon (such as the Nest Ball/Dive Ball), or Poké Balls that increase friendship?

Resolve June 2nd, 2018 6:43 AM

Friendship because I can put up with tedious catching processes.

If you were to specialize in only one type, would it be Dark or Steel?

blue June 2nd, 2018 8:01 AM

Dark type since it's one of my favourites.

a new Pokemon Ranger game or a new Pokemon Conquest game?

VisionofMilotic June 2nd, 2018 10:38 AM

Quote:

Since you didn't pick one of the choices available then I will automatically assign you to the first option as, lose every pokemon you've ever had. You don't have a single Pokemon left I'm afraid. Any shiny Pokemon, event exclusives, your starters, mythicals, pokemon from your very first games, all the mons you ev-trained, your traded pokemon-- all of it goes to me now :P


Let me try Pokemon Ranger, Conquest always seemed more like Fire Emblem and I'm not good enough with strategy etc for this option.

Darkrai or Cresselia?

blue June 2nd, 2018 2:42 PM

Cresselia, but only slightly. I like both a lot as it goes.

Leaf Stone or Ice Stone?

ZeoStar June 2nd, 2018 3:00 PM

Leaf Stone

Rhyperior or Regirock

Resolve June 2nd, 2018 11:37 PM

I prefer Regirock cause it can tank things better.

BW or BW2 post-game?

blue June 3rd, 2018 4:41 AM

BW2 post-game

Misty or Lana?

Janp June 3rd, 2018 11:15 AM

Is there even a choice? Misty of course.

Letting Pikachu ride on your shoulder OR letting Eevee ride on your head?

Resolve June 3rd, 2018 11:20 AM

I'll accept the consequences Eevee brings.

Seismitoad or Gastrodon?

PageEmp June 3rd, 2018 8:14 PM

Aw nawp. (Quickly finds time machine and goes back in time and locks up the PC so that nobody gets lost or taken away)

Anyways for the above, definitely Seismitoad. I used to not care for it until I tried using one in one of my nuzruns and it proved to be a really worthy teammate.

Kabuto or Tirtouga?

HyperMorian June 3rd, 2018 9:06 PM

Tirtouga.

Would you prefer rustling grasses from Gen 5 or DexNav from Gen 6?

ZeoStar June 4th, 2018 3:32 PM

DexNav from Gen 6

Golduck or Alomomola

strangerhypno June 4th, 2018 3:46 PM

Alomomola. I used both but I like Alomomola's support moves so I pick it. Golduck has a cool design and it's decent in battle but not really a huge fan.

Leavanny or Scyther

VisionofMilotic June 4th, 2018 8:49 PM

Quote:

*a mysterious ring appears in the middle of the poke center. Hoopa's hand reaches out of the ring, picks up your PC and pulls it into the dark space, never to be seen again*

either Levanny or Scyther could be cool, but I will pick Scyther.

Scyther or Scizor?

Janp June 4th, 2018 10:21 PM

Scizor. It's typing is more interesting.

Beating Brock only with Pikachu or Eevee?

Hyzenthlay June 5th, 2018 5:59 AM

The battle would be painfully slow, but Eevee nonetheless. ;_;

For Gen 8: An entirely new, large and diverse region, or a small, unremarkable one where you can visit other regions?

blue June 6th, 2018 11:01 AM

For gen 8 specifically, I'd like an entirely new and larger region to explore with it being on a new console.

Team Aqua or Team Magma?

Hyzenthlay June 6th, 2018 11:16 AM

Aqua! I like the whole pirate theme. ^_^

Would you rather have the next fossils be based off extinct mammals, or more dinosaurs?

ZeoStar June 6th, 2018 3:41 PM

Mammals. I don't have too much preference either way.

Lugia or Ho-Oh?

blue June 7th, 2018 3:06 AM

Lugia.

A new Colosseum game or a new Snap game on the Switch?

Resolve June 7th, 2018 6:25 AM

I'd lean toward a new Colosseum game, but a Snap game would be interesting.

Raikou or Zapdos?
