Koroc!!! MACKIE HAS OVERALLS OMG!!!! It's true his Epic Shovel of Awesome is missing, but the overalls are SWEET.
I wish I knew how to fashion cards on my own--I'd use that sprite. I'll have to settle with putting him in my sig, if that's okay? Hmm, I wonder if I could save the blank card image and past the sprite... maybe I CAN make my own card.
(Also, I am so with you on Raichu.)
As for legendaries, I don't care about them. Never use them in battle, and find it very strange that a kid or any trainer ever would be able to capture one. In the game cartridge I like to have one of each for pure catch-em-all purposes, but legendaries are supposed to be legendary. They do not belong on a human trainer's team, or, even worse, jammed in their PC. (That is totally my own playstyle, btw, and I don't look down on people who love catching them and using them!! Just bugs me to do it, so I don't.) I prefer to imagine them off being legendary and element-dominating in the great wide world.
Doesn't mean I don't have favourites, though. Kyogre is really cool, and Lugia as well.
All this talk of challenges is making me want to do one of the monotypes challenges even more than before. However I lost my Pearl cartridge (ARRRRRRGH) that had my completed game plus Pal Park on it (not to mention the collection I was trying to complete, my rare berries, my perfect-natured pokemon, and my beloved first D/P team... oh man, so much lost) so I have to finish playing through Diamond to get the Pal Park again, so I can move pokemon from my FR cart and free it up.
My FR team totally had a Rattata on it, too, though he became a Raticate eventually. He was rather fragile, but FAST, and did pack a good bite. Also had a Primape, first time ever I used a fighting pokemon, and now I like them a lot!
