Two Truths and a Lie!

[ReKoil]

Before: Well I hope 3 is the lie, but I kind of have a feeling it isn't... 1 Perhaps..?

After: Nope. Oh well.

Three statements related to Exploration, I suppose.
1. I will run back to the PC as often as I can to avoid using Medicine unnecessarily.
2. I always stock up on Escape Ropes to make sure I can leave a cave fast.
3. I will explore all over the region to find items and fight every trainer I find.

Spoiler:

2 is the lie. If I have any I'll have found them as items on the ground. I almost never use these things xD

 

[Orion☆]

Before: There's no way #1 is true, the PC doesn't heal your Mons automatically anymo--- Oh my God, PC is the abbreviation for Pokémon Center! Well then... maybe that could still be a lie, because it can get old after a while.

After: Ah, well. Can't blame you, though - I never use Escape Ropes myself.

Three dumb things I have done in the games:
1. I lost a PokéRadar-ed Shiny Ralts in Platinum because I forgot to bring a Pokémon to prevent it from *~Teleporting~*.
2. I bought the TMs for the Elemental Punches in Crystal so I could teach them to my Haunter, only to discover that Haunter could only learn those moves in Gen III onwards.
3. I left an Electabuzz with an Electrizer in the GTS from my Ultra Sun save file so I could pick it up from my Sun save file, but I got distracted and had it stolen as a result.

Spoiler:

#3 is the lie - the trade was risky and not at all sensible, but in the end it was successful. The other ones are absolutely true and I'm still embarrassed at both of them.

 

[Zeostar]

1 and 2 both sound exactly like something I would do. Going to guess 3.

Annnnd correct.

1. I like Gigalith more than Golem.
2. I slightly prefer Mismagius over Gengar.
3. I like Beedrill more Butterfree.

Spoiler:

Should be easy. 3 is the lie. Butterfree is my current avatar, beedrill is not.

 

[Orion☆]

Before: #3 is almost certainly the lie. Look at your avatar! Although, I don't discard #2 simply because I have been seeing a lot of Gengar hate/dislike recently.

After: Correctomundo!

Three Scarlet/Violet-related statements in light of today's trailer:
1. I don't care much for any of the human characters presented so far.
2. I changed my allegiance from Team Fuecoco back to Team Sprigatito.
3. I don't like any of the new mons much, but Miraidon is growing on me.

Spoiler:

#2 is the lie! Sprigatito looks better in 3D no doubt, but Fuecoco is still my favourite. :D

 

[Fact Checking Gardevoir]

Before : I tend to think you don't especially like Miraidon.
After : I was wrong.

1. I caught Zapdos on Red just by burning it.
2. I caught Regice with a Luxeball on Ruby.
3. I caught Politoed on Black 2 with an Ultraball.

Spoiler:

#3 is the lie. After hours of searching ripples in the water, I finally found a Politoed... who prevented capture with Bounce, then KOed itself with Requiem. So, I caught the next one, first turn, with the Masterball.

 

[ReKoil]

Before: Well Politoed is the only non-legendary here which makes it a bit sus. That said I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.
Same with 2. Possible too. 1 sounds riskier since you might faint it over time if it has a Burn. I'll just guess 1.

After: Should've just gone with the sus one huh.... I was highly tempted to as well xD

1. I caught a shiny Pheromosa in Dynamax Adventures.
2. I've shiny bred all the eeveelutions.
3. I randomly hatched a shiny Charmander while I was rebreeding one.

Spoiler:

2 is the lie atm, I still need to breed for a shiny Leafeon and Umbreon, but am too preoccupied with other stuff xD

 

[Orion☆]

Before: #2 is almost certainly the lie. No one has that much patience to get all Shiny Eeveelutions only by breeding. Hunting Pheromosa seems like something you'd do, and I believe you on Charmander as well.

After: Bingo! That said, good luck breeding the last two Eeveelutions!

Three Mimikyu-related statements:
1. I started out not liking Mimikyu at all, but one of my friends convinced me otherwise.
2. I have designed a regional form for Mimikyu.
3. I have used Mimikyu in my team in every game where it has been available so far.

Spoiler:

#1 is the lie! I never disliked Mimikyu at all; at worst, I was sort of distracted away from it until I actually got to use one in my Sun playthrough. Also, in the end, I think I ended up loving Mimikyu far more than my (now former) friend ever did. 🤣

 

[Zeostar]

I'll guess 3. Wasn't it already excluded out of the dex in the new games?

Oh. Never mind, I checked and apparently it was in Galar. I didn't encounter it despite two playthroughs. The first statement makes sense though.

1. I'm currently playing through the original Pokemon White. I started with Snivy.
2. In my last playthrough of Platinum, I used a Gastrodon on my main team.
3. I only played Pokemon X once. I had an Aegislash on my main team.

Spoiler:

2 is the lie. I have a tendency to start Platinum and leave it unfinished. Regardless, I did not have a Gastrodon.

 

[ReKoil]

Before: No idea. I'll just randomly go with 2.

After: Maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket =o

1. Nessa is my favorite Galarian Gym leader.
2. Steven is my favorite champion.
3. May is my favorite rival.

Spoiler:

1 is the lie.
Obviously I'm gonna go with my icy gal Melony!

Hunting Pheromosa seems like something you'd do, and I believe you on Charmander as well.

I didn't hunt Pheromosa btw. I was just catching all the DA legendaries and UB's. The game literally just gave it to me with the very first one I caught =D

 

[Orion☆]

Before: Hey, I think I know this one. I remember you saying that Steven was your favourite Champion and that you liked May a lot as well, so obviously #1 is the lie.

After: Correctomundo!

Three character opinions - figure out which one is false!
1. Cynthia is my favourite Champion.
2. Hugh is my favourite rival.
3. Jasmine is my favourite Johto Gym Leader.

Spoiler:

#1 is the lie. I don't like her that much and PLA tanked her further in my list thanks to both her ancestors.

My actual favourite Champion is either Alder or Diantha due to their unusual teams, although I do like Lance as a character better than both of them

 

[Zeostar]

I was able to guess 1 correctly. I don't remember you ever mentioning that or talking about Cynthia much.

1. I liked Swalot a lot as a kid, but got older and feelings became neutral.
2. I never cared much for the Charmander line, but consider Charmeleon pretty cool.
3. Palpitoad is cute, quickly became one of my favorite pokemon of Gen 5.

Spoiler:

3 is the lie. no way. probably one of my least favorite designs.

 

[ReKoil]

Before: 1 seems the most plausible to be true. Swalot is pretty forgettable sadly.
2 and 3 could both be the lie, I think. Could Palpitoad really rise to a favorite position though? I'll go with 3.

After: Yay, correct.
I'm still in the negative in terms of correct-incorrect guesses though rofl

1. The Fennekin line is my favorite Fire starter.
2. The Piplup line is my favorite Water starter.
3. The Snivy line is my favorite Grass starter.

Spoiler:

#3 is the lie.
My favorite Grass starter is Chikorita, no other Grass starter line even comes close, though the Snivy line is still in second at a considerable distance =p
Though the Gen 9 Grass kitty might overtake it depending on the evolutions.

 

[Zeostar]

I'm having trouble recalling any mentions of this, so it'll be a heavy guess. I'll take one as the lie.

It's wrong, but I'm happy to see another person who likes Chikorita.

1. I'm a big fan of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series but haven't gotten the chance to play Gates to Infinity.
2. I finished New Pokemon Snap this morning. I started in June last year, meaning it almost took a full year.
3. Pokemon Dash for Nintendo DS was a very early gateway into the franchise for me.

Spoiler:

3 is the lie. I have played it though...it wasn't anything amazing or memorable.

 

[Orion☆]

Before: It's either #2 or #3. #2 is too specific, and #3 is... a little too far-fetched considering how unpopular the game is.

After: Aaaand #3 it was, though I was taking a 50/50 chance shot. Congratulations on finishing New Snap though!

Three more fan game-related statements:
1. Pokémon Reborn made me hate Mr. Mime even more than I already did.
2. I completed a no-Fakemon run in Pokémon Xenoverse.
3. My starter bird Pokémon in Pokémon Birdcall was Shiny.

Spoiler:

#2 is the lie. It's impossible to do a full no-Fakemon run in this game; you have to keep your Starter Pokémon in your party to progress in the plot. My first run of this game was 5/6 canon Pokémon though, and my second one was 5/7, because I made my Shiny Scovile a part of my team.

As for the others...
#1: Without spoiling too much in case you're planning to play the game (or watch a playthrough like I did), please, bring a well-trained Fairy-type and some brain bleach for the PULSE Mr. Mime battle. (I needed tissues to cope with the fact I waited in vain too, but you probably won't need those.)
#3: Indeed, it was a Pidgey/Pidgeotto/Pidgeot named Goldie! I don't remember how I pulled off the trick, but I felt very lucky to have her in my team. I didn't hunt for a Shiny of this Mon in the canon games though, since it looks... meh in 3D.

 

[Gravyard]

Before: No.2 because the rest is something possible to do, Xenoverse is all Fakemon.

After: I was right but also wrong, apparently there are Pokemon that are not fanmade? My only knowledge is that Pokemon Xenoverse is heavy on Fakemon.

1. My First Pokémon game was a Rom hack.
2. I caught two shiny Farfetch'd in Go.
3. Digimon made me interested in Pokemon.

Spoiler:

No.2 is a lie, my first shiny was a Caterpie.

 

[ReKoil]

Before: 1 sounds the most plausible to be true, so I'm thinking it's either 2 or 3.
Do people get interested in Pokemon because of Digimon? I honestly dunno lol
When I see the number of shinies people get in Go, 2 wouldn't surprise me to be true tbh
So I'll go with 3.

After: Guess I'm wrong.

1. I have a Fennekin plush
2. I have a Braixen plush
3. I have a Delphox plush

Spoiler:

2 is the lie =\
I can't seem to find one D=

 

[Orion☆]

Before: Oh bother, this is a really tough one. I'm gonna guess #3 is the lie, because Delphox plushies are significantly rarer than Fennekin or Braixen plushies. Yet, I still have the feeling I'm most likely wrong.

After: Wait, really!? I'd have figured out Serena not evolving her Braixen in the anime would have made plushies of that Pokémon more commonplace. Then again, X/Y is long over. I'm really sorry. ):

Three event Pokémon-related statements:
1. I have a Hoopa.
2. I have not one, but two Diancie.
3. I have a Marshadow.

Spoiler:

#3 is the lie. Sadly never got the chance to grab one, despite it being one of my favourite Mythicals.

As for how I have two Diancie: One I have thanks to a friend who sent me a code to download it in X/Y, the other I have from a 20th anniversary Wi-Fi distribution. :D

 

[Zeostar]

I'll guess 3 as the lie, but I know next to nothing about events or the exclusiveness.

I got it correct but that was 100% lucky. Almost said two but figured the specifics this time meant it wasn't a lie.

1. I think normal types are the opposite of boring because they learn all sorts of fun moves. This places them among my favorite types.
2. I completed a mono fire type run in White 2. Found it monotonous, ended up with a lower view of the type in general.
3. When I was 12 years old, I beat Pokemon Red with only a raticate.

Spoiler:

2 is the lie. I haven't even done a monotype run.

Here's the video of 3. 12 year old me uploaded it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C2leDDmgDo

 

[ReKoil]

Before: Well I've seen you list Normal as one of your favorite types before. Though I suppose the reason before it might be the lie.
3 just sounds like something you might've done. I'll gamble 2 and hope 1 isn't the lie because of the reason.

After: Apparantly I guessed correct =3

1. I've never picked Chespin as a starter.
2. I've never picked Chimchar as a starter.
3. I've never picked Oshawott as a starter.

Spoiler:

2 is the lie. Although I don't like the thing, I have picked it once for a playthrough.

The other two are simply true because I always ended up picking one of the other two starters in their games.

 

[Orion☆]

Before: Oh god, this one's difficult. Based on your previous posts, your favourite Kalos starter is Fennekin, so I doubt you would have chosen Chespin. You don't like Chimchar, but I've never seen you talk about Oshawott much either. I'm stuck between those two, but perhaps you're like me and never picked Oshawott despite liking it. I'm going with #2.

After: Hey, I was right! This wasn't easy though, and I'm surprised you still picked the Chimchar line despite not liking it.

Three starter Pokémon-related statements:
1. I have never ditched my starter Pokémon, not even for special runs.
2. I have not resetted for a female starter Pokémon since Alpha Sapphire in 2014.
3. I have tried resetting for Shiny starters multiple times, but gave up halfway through.

Spoiler:

#2 is the lie. I resetted for a female Cyndaquil in my first playthrough of Crystal in 2018. It is true, however, that I don't bother resetting for female starters much anymore, and it's unlikely I will do so in the near future (unless I get PLA or SV, and even then it's not a guarantee.)

#1 is a sacred rule for me; I just can't bring myself to even do a special run if it won't accomodate for my starter. And as for #3, my first and only Shiny starter (a Cyndaquil, now a Typhlosion) came from Masuda method, not soft-resetting.
