I'll probably answer newer ones later, but there are two I want to do now.

What Pokemon game have you replayed the most?

I don't even know. Maybe DP back in 2007/2008, or RS in 2003/2004. But I know i've played through B2W2 and XY so many times.

Which gym leader or Elite Four member did you find the most difficult?

I'm not gonna go through the generic answers like Whitney, so I have to give mention to Fantina in Platinum. That Mismagius is just awful. (Yet in my Wedlocke, I managed to get extremely lucky against it.)

What is your favorite stat-boosting move?

I think Swords Dance or Dragon Dance. They allow Pokémon to get some good power going for them. Maybe Cotton Guard, as defense boosting moves tend to be overlooked.

Gonna go with Shell Smash too! Let Cloyster set it up, and nothing stops it. It does lower stats too though, so if strictly speaking I had to choose a move that boosts with no negative side effects, it's Tail Glow, for sure. Special attack boosted by 3 stages in just one turn? It's amazing. It makes Manaphy an absolute beast, but sadly it doesn't do the same for Volbeat :c

So! Here's something that actually came up in the Volcanion announcement thread and opinions were varied, so this will make a good question for today!

Question of the Day

Considering its counterparts (or seemingly so) have gotten some kind of other forme, it would make sense for it to get one as well.

I'm not a huge fan of alternate formes in general. It feels gimmicky and usually forces your Pokemon to have certain moves or equip certain items, taking diversity away.

It should have different form like Hoopa, but not mega evolve like Diancie

I would think it will get something along those lines to make it different, but i'm just not sure how it would be pictured.

I'm more inclined to think it'll get an alternate forme, because the other Mythical Pokemon got them. But at the same time, I don't think it necessarily needs one, since the basic forme seems like it'll be pretty powerful as it is!

Yes, so much this. :D Quiver Dance is super useful. I also really like Swords Dance for lethal attackers like Sandshrew and Leafeon.
A Chlorophyll Leafeon with Swords Dance is deadly under the sun!

What is your favorite stat-boosting move?
Dragon Dance, definitely, as it could be pretty useful for physical attackers that are able to learn this move. A good example of this would be Gyarados. As for second, it's Outrage.
I was expecting you to write Salamence, a Moxie Salamence in particular, for no real reason, haha.

Gonna go with Shell Smash too! Let Cloyster set it up, and nothing stops it. It does lower stats too though, so if strictly speaking I had to choose a move that boosts with no negative side effects, it's Tail Glow, for sure.

Maybe a Special offensive move with priority is able to save the firefly for a bit?

The answer for the Volcanion topic is a hell yes, it would be odd to left out Volcanion without an alternative form. The real question is, how creative can they get when it comes to its forme changing method? Let's not forget the important things -- the improvement of its stats, as well as the aesthetic of its alternative form!

I'm more inclined to think it'll get an alternate forme, because the other Mythical Pokemon got them. But at the same time, I don't think it necessarily needs one, since the basic forme seems like it'll be pretty powerful as it is!

Question of the Day

Which generation do you feel had the most difficult Victory Road?
XY and B2W2 have the most difficult Victory Road to date, due to the diversity options of the NPC Trainers, as well as the amount of the strong trainers! It's a bit ironic that XY has the weakest Elite Four to date though.

Welp, since I missed a question I will do 2.

Do you think Volcanion should get a Mega/alternate forme?
I don't know, maybe he will, maybe not. Only time can tell.

Which generation do you feel had the most difficult Victory Road?
I have no clue sadly :P Normally the hardest would be BW2 and XY(ironically, as said above) though if memeory serves halfway there will be someone who heals your mons. But I think I will go with BW2.

A bit off topic, but I think the HGSS victory road is my least favourite VR. There are like no trainers!
I… might put something interesting here eventually.

I had hard time on Y due to Cool Trainers are more diverse than the other trainer type I encountered also BW2 seems diverse as well.

Probably the ones in Hoenn and Sinnoh, likely because you needed so many HM slaves to get through them and I hate having to use them.

In terms of puzzle I think i'll go with RSE, for reasons others have said. HMs are abundant there and it's not exactly easy to get around without Flash.

But in terms of trainers? Black 2 and White 2, bar none. The trainers there are really high level - almost as much as the league, in fact, and use a lot of strong Pokémon that can hit for big damage. And on Challenge Mode they're even higher level (58/59) which can prove to be extremely intimidating! It doesn't help at all that you have to fight Hugh at the very end, especially with his evil Bouffalant that hits insanely hard. And spoilers, some of you will probably see just how bad it can be when I post to that point in my Nuzlocke on Azurilland. XY is a close second, though, for similar reasons - trainers are high level and have really strong movesets, and the wild Pokémon are extremely strong too.

I've always found the Hoenn Victory Road to be a huge pain in the butt. They literally throw everything into it--waterfalls, rocks you have to move, darkness, and a ton of trainers to top it off. Like geez, what a pain.

By all honesty, I say Kalos Starters and Sinnoh Starters their starters final form have most unique typing (this exludes Chimchar) because we do get Grass-Ground Type and Water-Steel Type it add some flavor. While Kalos is also unique our Fennekin becomes Fire-Psychic, Chespin becomes full fledge tanky physical Grass-Fighting Type as well Froakie who is swift and expert swiper become swift ninja like pokemon who is Water-Dark.

Possibly Gen4. I do not have a least favourite from that gen, I like all eaqually, and feel that they all can do well in battle. Second is Gen3 for similar reasons, I don't feel negatively towards any of the starters.

Unova for me, since they all start out really adorable. Kalos and Sinnoh come a close second.

The Kanto starters are my favorites. My favorite Pokemon line (Squirtle-Wartortle-Blastoise) is among them, and I like the other Kanto starters a lot too. Johto would be my runner-up (I like the Cyndaquil and Totodile lines a lot, but I'm only so-so about Chikorita).

Kalos. All three of them look great in all their forms and have cool typings. I also really like Froakie's puzzled face.

I too have to go with Kalos. I really do love all three of them, there's normally at least one that I don't like at all. Though I didn't like Froakie that much at first, that quickly changed when I learned how awesome-sauce amazing its evolved for is :D And in addition to that, Fennekin is adorable and Chesnaught has an awesome signature move and ability.

Now imagine if Cut and Dive are used within the Hoenn Victory Road. >:)

Hoenn has my favorite starters. The colors, the design, the stats, they are awesome! (:
