Indeed, re-usable TMs was one of the awesome things about Gen V. And in XY they made them even more convenient in the sense that they fully restore PP over the move you replace them with. Like, who needs Ethers and Elixirs anymore? x)

Did anyone else but me think that the brains at Pokémon were running out of ideas when I saw Rotom for the first time?
If you’ve got a problem, take it out on a drum.

I'm more familiar with Rotom, personally, as I've used it more often while battling. It's got a variety of forms, and of them all, Wash has probably got to be my most favorite; it's able to learn Hydro Pump, I believe, which is an extremely powerful attack. Second favorite is most likely Mow.

Castform is okay (its appearance is extremely adorable, if you ask me), but it's just not that viable competitively, sadly, so I've never had it on my team aside from that one time when I was initially introduced to it in Pokémon Ruby, which was years ago.

While it wasn't that great in battle, Castform is probably my favorite Pokemon that I've used for contests back in Hoenn. A large portion of its learnset are Beauty moves, with many of them being good combo moves (Hail + Powder Snow, Sunny Day + Ember/Flamethrower, etc.). To this day, Castform's still one of just 2 Pokemon I've managed to beat all 4 ranks of contests with.

As for Rotom, I always thought that it was a cool Pokemon, being able to change between a multitue of secondary types. Sure, appliances might seem like a silly idea, but with Rotom acting as the motor of those things, I think it was a pretty cool idea overall.

Castform is amazing in roleplaying, just saying :D In-game or competitively, maybe not so much. But it's still adorable like not much else.

but with Rotom acting as the motor of those things
oh my god. I only realized NOW that they're pulling an Ekans here. Rotom is "motor" backwards, like Ekans is snake and Arbok is kobra. Auuugh.

Man, I thought that was pretty cool looking, until I saw a side view of it with the nose sticking out a fair bit. If I had the money and they were available commercially, I'd probably drive one though. No better way to show you're a Pokemon fan, and the chances of it getting stolen are basically slim to none, haha.

I haven't laughed that hard all day. Perfection. The nose does totally turn it for the worse.

I wouldn't even drive a Poochyena car or something otherwise black and less obvious.

Question is: the day I finally succumb and wear a pokemon accessory in public, is that the day I fall from grace or the day I grow up? Something like pokeball earrings, I'd love it. Bags or t-shirts with cartoon characters on just isn't my thing in general so that'll likely never happen.

I wear pokemon jewelry, but that's kinda as fast as I'll go. It's enough that I know it's there and people may notice without it being as flashy as s a shirt or something

I have a whole bunch of old Pokémon cards that I got who knows when. I did had a Hitmontop toy at one point, but I do not even know where it went.
Ask a question, or make a suggestion of what I can do on http://thefattestsnorlax.tumblr.com/

I have an old binder full of Pokémon cards from Jungle and Fossil, which were way back in the day, and I do remember some of the old figurines and toys I had from way long ago, but i'd be lucky to find any of them today. Ah, things are distant.

I used to collect Pokémon cards religiously back when I was a kid, but stopped once I had realized how much money I've been putting, which, in total, I'm sure would be more than five-hundred dollars (nearly a thousand, maybe). Still have these cards, but wound up losing some as days went by, sadly.

Now, I'm back into collecting again, but am not as addicted as I used to be; I'd find myself buying about five to six booster packs every year or so.
