I was a stupid kid back then.
And I still am now.
But anyways, the story begins with me starting the game. I chose Male, because I ain't no goil. For my starter, I had chosen Treeko, because 1. I like Green and 2. The other 2 didn't look appealing to me at the time. Yeah, young me actually thought Mudkip looked a little ugly. I don't think it's ugly now, but younger me thought it just looked weird. Anyways, I actually caught pretty much every Pokémon I saw once I got Pokeballs. I wanted to, y'know, catch 'em all. Fast forwarding a bit later, when I first saw Latias, I though they were male, so I called them Red. Even though there was a big Female symbol there, for quite a while I though Latias was male. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I nicknamed my Treeko Buddy, because I knew that over the course of the game, he would be my buddy. I did the thing in my playthrough that almost all of you probably did too: only have your Pokémon learn attacking moves. In addition, instead of having a dedicated HM Slave, basically ALL of my Pokémon were HM Slaves. I actually basically only had a team of 4: Buddy the Sceptile, Red the Latias, Ziggyzag the Linenoone, and Pika the Pikachu. Sceptile had Strength and Rock Smash, Latias had Fly, Waterfall, AND Dive, and Linenoone had Cut and Surf. So basically, my Pokémon had less than 4 moves each. If you're wondering what the remaining 2 slots were for, I mainly used them for breeding and egg hatching. I actually ended up beating the Elite 4 while I was running around trying to hatch a Pidgey egg, so I have a random Pidgeot in the Hall of Fame. Oh yeah, speaking of that, I had overleveled myself to the moon and back before I took on the Elite 4. How much overleveling? Well, my Sceptile was Level 100. Enough said. Speaking of Sceptile, the 2 moves that it had other than HM moves were Leaf Storm...and Grass Knot. I thought the moves was really good back then, because it 1-4 shot every Pokémon I used it on. ...however, that was probably just because 1.I was overleveled and 2. all the late-game Pokémon were really heavy. The 1 Non-HM Move my Latias had was Dragon Pulse. Why not Draco Meteor? Well, 1. Lower Accuracy and 2.  it lowered Special Attack, so as Latias's only move, I think Dragon Pulse is better  in that situation. My Linenoone had Ice Beam and Retaliate, which isn't too bad, and my Pikachu had literally all Electric type moves. Moving on to more of my stupidity, I had killed every legendary I found on those Islands you can get to with the Eon Flute, thinking they would respawn. Poor, poor me. I did manage to catch Lugia in the Post-Game, and I named it "WOOOOOOOOOOO", quoting myself from after catching the dang thing. Now it's pretty much the 6th party member. Now, you may be asking, "Who's the 5th?". Well, the answer it Growlithe. Now you may be saying, "But Growlithe isn't in Hoenn!", and to that I say: Yes and No. There are hidden Pokémon in ORAS that you can find that aren't normally in Hoenn. For example, you can find Zorua on the first Route. The reason I didn't get Growlithe before was because to spawn him, for heck knows why, you have to open up the Poke-Searcher thing in the cave where you find Kyogre/Groudon, then go to the top of Mount Pyre, and then Growlithe can be found there.

That's about all I wanted to say about me sucking at Pokémon. What was your first Pokémon playthrough like?

Holy Frosslass that's longer than I thought

I think the game's alright, but it's honestly one of the worst Mario games.

Favorite Game: ORAS. It was the game that got me into Pokemon. Plus, I actually like Water.

Favorite Pokemon: Growlithe. He's a dog, and I love dogs.

Favorite Music: Probably Nimbasa City. I'm a sucker for Jazz, which is probably why I like it so much. The Gen 1 Champion Battle Theme and Zinnia's Battle Theme come close, though.

Alakazam?

Correct!

Clue 3: The Pokémon is a Fighting type.

That's not what I'm thinking of.


Clue 2: It's a gen 5 Pokémon.

no

Alright, I got a good one.





Clue 1:
This Pokémon's name sounds like the name of something you wear.

IT'S PIKACHU!

Darn it. That's correct.

Wrong.

Clue 2: It is the first stage of a two-stage evolution line.

I'll make one you have to guess, now.





Clue 1: It's mainly Orange, but its Shiny form is Yellow.

Are you sure this isn't Lugia? The legendary Pokémon that is Blue and White, not a Dragon, and big?

Because if it's not Lugia, I'm honestly kinda stumped.

Oh, is it Snorlax?

Ok...Shiny Voltorb?

Lugia isn't a dragon. Lugia is a Psychic/Flying type.

Anyways, my next guess is Froakie.

Is it Lugia?

My favorite Pokemon is definitely, without doubt, absolutely, 100% guaranteed,
Growlithe.
What can I say? He's a dog.
And I like dogs.

Luigi Mario

I've asked this on multiple "Ask me anything" topics, but I might as well get everyone's opinion.

My personal picks would be:

Linebeck
The Zelda series need more representatives that aren't Link, Zelda, or Ganondorf. Plus, Phantom Hourglass needs more love.

Either Paper Mario or Henry Stickmin
They would make for a fun moveset. Glass Cannons are always fun.

Crash Bandicoot
With all the big games recently for the Orange Marsupial, Crash is bound to be in Smash. He deserves it, too.

Waluigi
Do I even need to explain?
