In Darkness, I took it three times also and answered truthfully each time.
The first try, i got a skitty. I didn't want no skitty. lol
The second time, I got a Munchlax. Munchlax? Seriously?
The third time, I got a Charmander. I'm not too fond of playing as a Charmander but I thought, whatever and went ahead and started the game.
