    Pokémonland is much simpler than the real world lol. In Pokémonland as long as you follow the rules and are capable of solving simple puzzles everything turns out ok in the end.

    I wish the real world was so easy lol. Some how I doubt Gordon Brown is going to have a battle with some magic animals and then everything will just be ok if he wins, and if he doesnt he can just try again etc.

    In terms of battling over WiFi I just like to see my favourite Pokémon win for me.

    Haha so true. The Pokemon World is just a much simpler and cleaner place and as long as you can solve basic basic puzzles then you're pretty much good to go ;).

    It probably would just be the desire to have strong high leveled pokemon. I usually dont spend more than an hour leveling my pokemon.

    Pokemon breeding keeps me busy.

    But making more "Smeargle Monks" is an even more time consuming venture than making more "novelty" Smeargle movesets.
    The "gross" requests always make me laugh.

    As far as battling go, I only have done 6-on-6 "Smeargle Monk" fights in the Union Room.

    I hate training with a passion to be honest and the only reason I did it was for WIFI trades, but since I don't have WIFI anymore... I haven't touched my game in well lets see.... 6-7 months?

    To be a Pokémonrygon master is my, destiny!

    Someday, shiny Porygon2, you will be mine. And once that is set, I shall become the strongest trainer ever, more powerful then Ash and Red combined could ever hope to be. I shall become a legend, and no one will ever say Porygon's name in vain again.

    I grow way way way too attached to pokemon....
    I treat my Empoleon like he's my son lol
    his name is Maximilian<3

    I hate to see him lose, so I train him a lot.
    Like when we lost at the battle Hall... I hate critical hits...

    Hmm...I guess catching all Pokemon and training them to Level 100 is really good for motivation...except all you get is a Diploma from Game Freak and bragging rights in the end, all of which are easily lost if your save file somehow becomes corrupt... :\

    Otherwise, I relish the sweet satisfaction of crushing my opponents to oblivion!!! :rambo:
    Also, all enemy Blisseys, Jigglypuffs, and Snorlaxs must be KO'd for the anguish they've caused me in Hoenn's Battle Frontier and (in Jigglypuff's case) Super Smash Bros. 64/Brawl. :cer_nod:

    But in the end, I guess it's just fun and accomplishment. You've worked hard to raise your Pokemon, and now you can finally battle on-par among the throngs of Pokemon Trainers in the world, while winning battles, losing battles, and ending up in draws occasionally. The things pieces of data can do to humans... :D

    I dislike leveling up against wild Pokemon, but I can do it.
    I level up when I'm bored, unless I'm actually working up to something, say, level 40 everything for the 8th gym or something.
