"The person below me..."

It's been so long since I've played the TCG and I don't remember how many cards we start out with. I'll have to say false for not remembering.

The next person caught a duplicate Pokemon.

True,

Tpbm has used Pokemon as an escape from the harsh realities of life.

Kind of. It does make some days a bit more bearable. When I was younger I copied some mannerisms of Ash because I thought he was so cool and being a pokemon trainer is way cooler than being some loser at school

TPBM has beaten the Emerald Battle Frontier

False, I can complete the Battle Frontier in HGSS and Platinum, but not Emerald because of 1 symbol I did not collect, the one from the Battle Pyramid. I HATED that facility and am glad it did not return in other games. It was just glorified dungeon exploring. I did it once, took me 49 years to get like 3 bp, that one time was enough-- would not go back for 50 gold nuggets.

Tpbm got an evolutionary stone by super training?

Nope, don't recall getting any

TPBM likes serpentine pokemon?

True, there are some serpentine Pokemon I like.

The next person has mispronounced a name of a Pokemon.

True. I always think Gible is pronounced 'Guy-ble' not 'Gibble' for one.

The person below knows what a Shiny Gible looks like.

Maybe...

Tpbm actually knows who Giselle is and would agree that she and Gary Oak would probably have been happy together.

True. She had an adorable Cubone.

The person below remembers who was in their first ever Pokemon team.

True, man that was a nice walk back down memory lane.

Pikachu, Dragonite, Haunter, Vileplume, Gyarados, Flareon. I even remember most of the names.

Tpbm knows how this relates to Pokemon... P for Pretty, E for Elegant, R for Radiant, F for Fun, U for Urbane, M for Mysterious, E for Energy!

False, I like both. Gen 5's animated sprites do look cute, you do have a lot of energy and detail doing things like picking up a dropped item. But the gen 6 sprites are appeaing to me too because they are attractively designed and beautifully-dressed.

Tpbm has watched a Pokemon movie with their Pokemon-themed plush/action figure/ nendoroid/ some form of Pokemon companion.

True when I was younger I watched the first movie with a Pikachu action figure.

The person below prefers Pikachu's Gen 1 design to his current design.

True, at least the Pokemon Yellow Pikachu sprite still looks delightful. GSC I think overall are more solid, but the point is conceded Pikachu has seen better days, not just with the most recent game sprite but the art style of the SM anime as well.

Tpbm doesn't have many if any friends in their day to day life who still play Pokemon, if you battle or trade it is usually with someone you met online.

True although I know a few people who play Pokemon Go.

The person below has took an unevolved starter (Yellow Pikachu does not count) to the Hall of Fame.

False.

The person below has got a Ribbon for clearing 50 Battles in the Battle Tree.

False, I don't participate in end games anymore and I only play for the story mode.

The next person has taught their starter Pokemon Surf.

Yes, I always teach it to my water starters

The person below me's favorite Pokemon is legendary

nooope

TPBM's favorite pokemon is from Hoenn
