That's the result of viewing the media in general. You don't even have to search it out. Bad news sells, and the world isn't a cheery place so there's an unlimited amount of doom news to pump out.
What's your favorite kind of donut? |
Donuts are not that popular in my country so I've not eaten many kinds of them.
But now that I'm in Canada I should try donuts? But I don't want to sacrifice my weekly cheat meal for a donut, I prefer to save it for pizza. Would you try this pizza? |
Quote:
Now that I'm here I guess I'll answer again. Yes, I would try the pizza. It doesn't look too bad. I wouldn't go out of my way to order it, but if offered I would try it. Do you prefer Espeon over Umbreon? |
Yes. I tried out Umbreon first when I played gen 2 for the first time. But I did end up disappointed that it didn't really got great moved. I still like its design but nowadays I just prefer Espeon more.
What do you remember from your very first Pokemon playthrough? |
That I didn't understand anything at all lol. I didn't know Pokemon boxes existed and I barely used any other pokemon other than my starter. My cousin helped me a lot with many things from the gym to the League which was impossible to beat for me. I only used Empoleon for my whole run and he was also my HM slave lol. He had: cut, strength, surf and waterfall. I used to always overuse Surf lol. The rest of the team was: bibarel, abra, staraptor and some random others but they were all under level 40. I remember I didn't like using items and also I didn't save before the battles, so I lost many many times and I attempted the League idek how many times, like 40 maybe lol. My Empoleon eventually arrived to level 100 doing that, but without items there was no way he could make it past Lucian. So my cousin helped me and traded me a level 100 Charizard and a level 100 Meganium and he easily beat the League.
Bonus things: as soon I got to know what Day Care was, I left my zubat there and I forgot it there for my whole adventure and when I got it back it was up of like 40/50 levels lol. I also remember that Uxie didn't spawn in the cavern for no reason or maybe someone killed it not telling me. Once, I notice a PC in the pokemon center, after the League, and I find out about boxes. And I could finally get Dialga lol. Then well, I loved the game and i lost so much time playing with friends, exploring the Underground and the contests. I have like over 300 hours on my old Pokemon Diamond file lol. Is there a pokemon you particularly became attached to? |
Charizard, my starter from generation 1 and my number 1 favourite since!
What is your favourite Pokémon game so far ? |
ORAS, I think.
X/Y is sort of tied with it, but it doesn't have soaring in the sky so.... then again I'll probably change my mind and answer the opposite in like a couple of weeks xD What's your favorite type of Pizza? |
Stuffed Crust. I actually don't mind sausage as a toping either and much prefer it over pepperoni.
Do you prefer answering serious or silly questions? |
Both suit me, unless I have to think too much :P
I'd probably give a longer answer to a serious question though. So it's up to who asks :) What games do you like more than Pokémon? Quote:
|
Some jRPGs that I liked playing in the past and kinda introduced me into the world of more complicated RPGs (Golden Sun, Final Fantasy 6, Chrono Trigger come to mind) and Xenogears and Xenoblade when it comes to more modern titles. Some western RPGs like Morrowind and Gothic, as well. I wouldn't necessarily say I like them more than Pokemon completely. It's more a matter of "they give me something different when I need it".
What's a game you played despite not liking it? (And if you have no such thing: what's your least liked game in general?) |
'Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series'
Was on a Telltale games binge more or less. Played this despite not giving a dang about Game of Boredom. Completed it, but didn't like it. What's a game you were expecting not to like, but pleasantly surprised you while playing it? |
Can I just say Pokémon here? When I started out and found out it was nothing like the anime fights, nine years old me was super disappointed! Same applied for nearly all of my first playthrough of platinum, to the point that I barely understood what levels were up until late game. But then I grew some neurons ;)
What's the longest journey/trip you've had in your life? |
When I was younger we spent a month in India, we travelled through the whole country, from North to South, visiting one town per day or two days. Very exhausting ^^"
Is there a videogame that you've played for less than one hour, total? |
Not yet, I usually play for 4 or more hours. If it sucks, I drop it- which always seems to be after an hour.
Do you think prom is a waste of time? |
Is that the party you get after finishing school? If it is then I can't say too much about it because it seems more like a US kind of thing. We did have a party similar to these but not nearly as pompous (and no pairup and stuff). It was very much a disappointment. <_<
Do you still have contact with old school friends? Or if you're still at school: do you still have friends from very early school years? |
Kinda. Well, one of my best friends came to middle schools with me so yeah. And also some of the people from high school. But like really rarely. Luckily lol
What was your fav subject at school? |
Surprisingly, in order: Biology, then Physics, then Mathematics in my first year after school :)
But then I discovered I was more interested in things that don't exist (mathematics). What was your dream job when you were younger? Spoiler:
|
Fire fighter. I liked the idea of saving people.
What is your least favorite color? |
Red. Gosh, I HATE red. Idk why, maybe because it's often considered the opposite of blue, my fav colour.
What's the bravest thing you've ever done? |
I don't remember anything, tbh. Being passive makes me kinda not a brave person. ^^"
Do you like buying new clothes? Quote:
|
Not really ^^" But I'll have to soon, I don't have shorts and some of my jeans are ripped at unwanted places :(
How much do you play videogames currently? Quote:
|
Most of my day is spent in Legends on my days off, but only a couple hours a day the rest of the week due to work being busy as heck atm.
Do you read any comics or manga? |
Not at all, unfortunately. I wouldn't be opposed though.
Do you lean towards being photogenic or camera shy? |
I don't like photos of myself. May just be because of who I am not necessarily being reflected on what I look like. ^^"
I kinda hate this question, ngl... Do you like doing things with the family? Quote:
|
Due to all the young nephews and nieces... not really no.
After being around kids for a while I just get a headache that gets worse and worse and I better duck out before it becomes too bad. Do you prefer being outdoors or indoors? |
Indoors. Safe space and there are many things to do! Most of those are even better than the things you'd do outside.
Have you ever been outside of your Continent? |
Yes. North America and Asia.
Which do you prefer: anime or western cartoons? |
Western cartoons. Not a fan of the "manga" aesthetics (big eyes, same face on everyone, except for the fancy hairstyle / clothes).
Do you give nicknames to your Pokémons? |
Always. (as long as i'm not boxing it right away)
Do you pay attention to natures when playing story mode in Pokemon? |
Originally I didn't. Then there was a phase where I semi-cared for good natures ("good enough natures") but I'm now slowly shifting away from that. Much like I don't care all too much for shinies anymore. Yes, they are sparkly, but they are still just as much of a Pokemon as the rest.
How do you spend your money in games? |
I really like shooters, and roguelikes, so I spend money on those, also a few open worlds too! Most importantly, a game which keeps surprising me is the one I would love to have!
Favourite food? |
Chocolate biscuits!
Favourite drink ? |
Chocolate milk! 🤤
Favorite vegetable? |
It's between broccolis and green peas ^^
Top 5 favourite Pokémons? |
Crobat
Slaking Tyranitar Lanturn Haxorus How long do you think you could run without getting tired? |
Maximum was like 2 hours but I wasn't particularly fast. I wouldn't last very long if I actually sped up a little. But I can't say how long because it's been a while...maybe 10 minutes?
Are there any cartoon shows that you still remember watching a lot? |
When I was a child I really watched several and even random ones, but then growing up, around 10/111 years maybe I started watching Spongebob at a ridiculous rate lol. I was obsessed I really liked Spongebob ^_^''
Tbh, I still watch it sometimes even if I have watched almost all the episodes lol. It never fails to put a smile on my face. What's your favorite book? |
Idk. The Witcher books are good, I'll just go with that.
Have you ever sent a package to someone? |
I returned a couple things, if that counts. Some stuff on Amazon as well as a router I had to return when I switched my ISP. Otherwise I haven't. I don't have any friends and stuff. xD
What's some exotic food you like? |
What's exotic will vary from person to person and place to place! I like food from all round the world so I'm not sure what to answer... I'll go with the tropical meaning of the word and say that yes, I do like piña coladas - and coconut in general ;)
What was the last tv show you watched? |
The last one I fully watched that I hadn't seen before is The Witcher on my sis' Netflix.
What's the most recent music album you bought? (be it physical or digital) |
I think I haven't bought music at all, because I've had an account on a rival of Spotify for like 15 years.
Have you ever replayed a videogame entirely? |
Yep. Not much these days however
What do you consider yourself 'above average' at? |
Cynicism, depression and a bunch of other things like that. ^^"
I guess I'm better at guessing problems and solutions (a more "intuitive" mind) in my job than other people. Not that guessing is considered a good trait in the world of programming. xD Do you identify yourself by the job you do? |
My job is prestigious so I often do, and to be honest that's the only thing that I'm proud of in my life lol.
Spoiler:
Do you eat healthy? |
Quote:
Spoiler:
Yes, I do eat healthy and I like that. I eat junk food sometimes,but when I am back home a lot more rarely. Have you ever been to the stadium to follow any sport? |
I know it's not a 'legitimate sport', but I've been to a couple pro wrestling shows, including a WWE show in Madisen Square Garden. I plan on attending a live Monday Night Raw soon too.
What's your favorite musical? |
I have so many favourites in various styles, that I can't pick a number one favourite. But I will pick one of them, a celtic song called The sky and the dawn and the sun. (Edit : Fixed!)
Do you read books / watch movies in other languages ? |
I'm in a social circle where it's usually considered better to watch movies in English, while I've never had any problem with the dubbing in my language. Basically any ressource I use, see or read at work is in English also. I usually play videogames in English, and I remember playing some videogames in Spanish back when I was fluent. I also remember playing a videogame in Russian with Spanish subtitles lol, while I don't speak Russian XD
You meet a real astronaut. What do you ask them? Quote:
|
I don't know. I guess I could ask them if the moon exists? Like, most of science stuff about space is already freely available and unless I experience something myself I don't think I'd get anything out of it. Then again, I'm known for not enjoying things, including meeting "celebrities" and stuff.
What's a place you would like to visit that is forbidden for the public eye? |
Can't say I'm nosy enough to actually care about visiting off limits places, but Pluto’s Gate in Turkey sounds like something I'd consider visiting if it were safe.
Spoiler:
Where do you like to go for vacation? |
I usually don't like to go anywhere, for me holidays are for rest and not for the added stress of planning a trip and hotel and such. Let me sleep D:
But this summer I'll go see my family in Europe :D Is there a big company you'd like to work for? |
No, unless "company" means "surrounded by people that I can have fun with" and "work" means "doing something that is meaningful to me". That's me not wanting to build my life around moder society's work culture where everything is built around the premise that work plays the most important part in one's life.
Do you donate money to a cause? |
If by cause you mean a charity, yes: Doctors Without Borders.
Do you skip the tutorial in videogames? |
Depends on how complex the games seems. Most of the time I prefer menu tutorials that I can look for on my own when I don't understand something.
What kind of tooth paste brand do you use? |
Sensodyne!
Do you use coasters? |
Nope haha!
What would the best day of your life be like? |
I can't even imagine what such a day would look like. Like, I can tell you tons and tons of ways what the best day wouldn't be like. But no idea the other way around. May just be because I don't really have anything I enjoy. So, if there's none of that I just can't really imagine anything...
When do you usually do house cleaning? |
Usually either Sunday or Monday.
What's the last thing you remember watching on YouTube? |
This! https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=10521615#post10521615
Can you juggle three or more items? |
I probably couldn't even juggle two.
Have you ever experienced an earthquake? |
yes, but not a very strong one.
what was your dream job as a child? |
Never had one. Even now the things I like the most I never want to turn into a job. Because jobs suck. They rob you of your time and only barely give you enough money to survive. And I'm just very sick of how our society is one that very much identifies itself by the work people do. <_<
Have you ever written an essay about a topic you really like? |
I've written plenty of essays in high school, but I can't remember any topics I actually cared about and liked.
So probably not. What videogame are currently playing? |
I'm gonna pick ACNH back up when I get a chance I think.
Do you own a wired controller? |
I do. I like a controller for videogames, even on PC. If I want something wireless, I need it rechargeable (in particular without AA or AAA batteries), and I have not found a rechargeable wireless controller.
Did you back up your data recently? |
I don't have much data to back up. So I don't need to actively back them up as often.
Do you prefer home consoles or handhelds? Quote:
|
Consoles. This answer has changed. I would have once said Handheld.
What did you order the last time you ate at a restaurant? |
I don't remember the name of the dish. I usually just order by menu number when I'm at the Chinese restaurant... =p
It was a dish with Prawns and cashew nuts at any rate, don't remember the rest of the ingredients. Do you eat any vegetarian food? |
I have animal products in all my meals of the day. It's too hard to get good proteins without carbohydrates in a vegetarian diet.
What have you planned for this summer holidays? Quote:
|
Quote:
Quote:
Have you ever been skiing? |
Answer is a simple nope.
What could your favorite video game improve on? |
It could get another sequel. They tried to revive the series but then left on a cliffhanger and it's already been over ten years since then.
What's the last movie you watched? Quote:
|
The Chronicles of Riddick.
one of those movies I occasionally re-watch, alongside it's prequel Pitch Black, just cause I like them. What would you improve in your country? |
My country is dying so I'd need to improve too many things, but let's avoid political discussions :)
What do you do to relieve your stress? |
I like finding an isolated place that I can sit alone, often with headphones and sometimes without.
What video game do you think Megan is referring to? |
I was complaining that we didn't get Golden Sun 4. That series is what brought me into the jRPG genre and the two first games are still very special to me. The third one was alright but felt very rushed as if they knew that they weren't going to make a sequel. That makes it even worse that it still ended with a cliffhanger.
Is there a game that you consider "genre defining"? Like, when you think of this genre that invariably this game comes to your mind? |
RTS = Command & Conquer immediately comes to mind.
But that's probably more because I just played a lot of it =p https://perchance.org/random-video-game-character Who did you get? I got 'The Trickster - Dead By Daylight'. I never played this game lol |
Quote:
Spoiler:
Are you going to the cinema soon? If so, what do you plan on seeing? |
I went on July 3rd and saw the Elvis Biopic. If I were to see another, it would be Thor. Likely will not go again so soon though.
What's a forum game on this section you typically don't post in? |
"Guess how old the user above you is!"
What is your favourite forum game in this section ? |
This one
If you could explore another planet, which would you pick? |
Any that is habitable and completely devoid of humans.
Have you ever ordered something off of one of these teleshopping shows on TV? |
I haven't and I don't even watch TV. But I do know people who have done so. It's something that especially older people do.
Have you ever learnt how to calculate the squareroot of a number manually without calculator? |
I used to be pretty good with numbers, so yes! But now the only square roots I deal with are fabulous carrots.
Do you have hope in humanity? |
I wouldn't describe it as "hope", but I'm curious to how the world will end up as the older generation goes out and the new enters into prominent positions.
Do you like making plans or doing things on impulse? |
Why not plan on impulse? :coolcat:
Eh... I don't really plan much tbh. I do sometimes do things on impulse, but not that much either. Whatever suits the situation I guess, some things need to be planned way in advance after all. Do you cook fresh food for yourself often? |
Most of my food is either frozen or fresh (except the pizza and the few treats I grant myself).
Do you use other search engines than Google? Whether it's a yes or not, why? Quote:
Spoiler:
Quote:
Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors I have never heard of that game lol. |
I've started using Duckduckgo a couple years ago. I mostly use it at home (Google at work). Idk, it just kinda stuck with me. I know there are a lot of different ones but I can't be bothered to change to something else. ^^"
Do you sometimes throw any sort of problem into Google because you don't want to think of a solution for yourself? (I do) |
All the time
Do you normally get more or less than 6 hours of sleep? |
Usually it's around 6 hours.
But more often under than over. Do you collect anything? |
On my computer ? Maps of various video games. I think I have other 1,500. ^^
Do you, sometimes, watch or listen to, a video or a music repeatedly, 5 times, or more in a row ? |
If it's short and I think it's amusing, I might watch 50 times in a row.
If your post count equaled the amount of years Earth has left, do you think humanity can inhabit another planet in time? |
People would probably not see the end of Earth and instead kick the bucket long before that day comes. No, I don't think they could run off to another planet, not without regretting it immediately.
Can you see the starry sky at night or is it all just light pollution? |
I can, provided there's no clouds.
Do you listen to different types of music depending on your mood? |
Always the same genre (Metal + few others) but not the same bands. When I feel tired/want to chill I would listen to Drudkh or similar bands, when I feel sad/melancholic I would listen to Anorexia Nervosa (warning: loud), and otherwise I would listen to the usual stuff.
Would you live in a country whose languages you don't speak? Considering the idea right now... |
It would be interesting, but I think I would need to consider many other factors first.
Do you have any pets? |
I don't have any pets. And other than not having any time for them, I also don't see myself able to treat them properly if I had any. I can't even deal with my own problems let alone add pets to that. ^^"
Have you ever played a piano? |
Nope.
Have you ever played any rhythm games, such as for example Guitar Hero or Beat Saber? |
Not in many years.
Do you log onto pokecommunity at any specific time or is it more sporadic? |
| All times are GMT -8. The time now is 6:47 AM. |
