Despite still kind of playing some, I think I'm kind of burnt out on most of them. I would say the closest to still enjoying would just be Pokemon TCG Pocket and even then, there are still many things that frustrate me with it (most involving the battle-related stuff since it was heavily advertised on the Collection focus and the pity points are so low). I really loved Magikarp Jump, but lost all my data when my phone suddenly died out of nowhere... I didn't have the heart to try again nor was I able to really restore anything. Despite that, I still have it downloaded. I technically do still play Pokemon GO, but I somehow am in the one part of my city that is a total deadzone. With my health issues, I can't go out often so I rarely manage to make much progress in anything (and it gets all the worse with my OCD-- I've always hated needing to catch the same Pokemon over and over again to progress) for it or Pikmin Bloom. I pretty much poke in just to mega evolve my Audino and check some things, but with so many Pokemon already paired with the region-locking and event costumes and the low limit unless you pay, it's very frustrating. If it wasn't for all the item and box limits, I'd likely still try to play more, but I just got too tired of needing to constantly sort and release or deposit Pokemon (not to mention after I accidentally released some I was trying to send to Home... Still upset about that). I always liked to try and have a living dex in every Pokemon game, but GO has really killed it for me. I love Pokemon Friends with all my heart, but I've still been heavily burnt out from it. Short version is the timer sucks and, especially with the finnicky-ness of touch screens, too often did I fall a second short just due to mechanical issues even if I knew the answer. Add on the awful RNG and I've been too frustrated to pick it back up. I'll likely at least pop in for my birthday I suppose. I was never good at Pokemon Duel, but I was interested enough in the story and the figures that I'm still annoyed it's just gone. I'm especially annoyed as apparently there was data for a planned Mega Audino figure and we'll never know what that would have looked like :( I feel like they absolutely could've just made it a cute gachapon figure collection thing. Pokemon Quest - I'm not entirely sure why I stopped playing it. I think it may have just been a bit too slow-paced? Maybe I'll try it again. Pokemon Rumble Rush - I love Pokemon Rumble very much, but it's not a game I want to play on a mobile device. Pokemon Shuffle - I do not like match-threes. But at least I got a Mega Audino right away. Pokemon Smile - Cute in theory, but not playable for me. Ignoring that I literally have no set-up in the bathroom for a way to place my phone and not worry about it getting wet, the last thing I want to do is look inside my mouth while I brush my teeth. If it was possible for it to not be AR-esque and just be like "yes, I am brushing my teeth" and I get a Pokemon, I'd probably have kept playing it. I've mentioned previously that I love everything about Pokemon Cafe ReMix except for the actual gameplay and that's still true. I do not like these types of games. I find them very boring. I wish it was an actual cafe sim instead of what we got. Pokemon Masters EX I actually still have downloaded, but rarely play. Short version is I was never particularly good at it, but as they continued to add more mechanics and upgrade systems, it just got too convoluted for me to even try. I really want to go through the story because I like the character stuff we get from the game, but once again the actual mechanics just didn't mesh well for me. Maybe I'll try again when Audino is in the game (but there is a 99% chance I'll just get the Audino, mega evolve it after leveling it up as much as I can with the little I have and immediately back out because I still don't know what I am doing). Pokemon Unite and Pokemon Champions both fall under "there are some neat things here (costumes and story and stuff plus character customization) but I hate PVP". This is also why Pokemon Trading Card Game Live is just a Collection thing for me. I liked the PVE Story the old version had. Honestly, Pokemon Playhouse was cute even though I am very much not in the age range for it :P But I want more games just hanging out with Pokemon. I really wanted to try out Pokemon Sleep, but I could not get it to work for me. I never got passed the tutorial. No matter what I did, it would not recognize anything, even with the peripheral device. I ended up just giving up because honestly, I move too much in my sleep and there is a reason I do not bring my phone to bed under any circumstances (it stays in the office). Anyway, tl;dr version is I only really play Pokemon TCG Pocket fully actively with Pokemon GO in second. I also still check in to Pokemon Friends and Pokemon Masters EX, but the rest are just there to be there, if I even still have them installed.

I'll always have a soft spot for Caterpie due to helping me in Pokemon Blue as I struggled against Brock (Plus I love Butterfree). Vivillon is one of my favorite bug types so I can't help but like Scatterbug as well. Appearance-wise in general, Sentret, Zigzagoon, Wingull, and Starly are probably the cutest to me despite never really using them in the long run. Bidoof is another that has a special place for me because of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Going to ones that are technically early-route but I don't really associate them with it are Lillipup, Wooloo, Fidough, and Pawmi.

It could be-- could also be mystery-esque of trying to figure out what's wrong with a Pokemon and doing other helpful things around the Pokemon Center/helping out around the town as well. While Pokemon Center is mostly to heal your Pokemon, we've seen ones with Pokemarts integrated in them and the Anime frequently used them as a lodge for traveling trainers as well so I feel like there is a lot they can do with it. We know sometimes they traveled to get to patients as well (whether helping them remotely or bringing them back).

Give me a Pokemon Center-based game with all the Pokemon Center Pokemon that I am absolutely not biased for of course :P I think taking the vibes of Pokemon Cafe Mix and making it into a simulation game with various Dessert/food-related Pokemon and fitting helpful ones would also be super cute.

So, I actually went through all the Digimon a couple of years ago because while with Pokemon, I've quickly had a favorite Pokemon and character, but with Digimon I tended to like the actual human characters over the Digimon themselves. Of the ones that got shown pretty closely in the show, Lilimon was probably my favorite, but in addition to her after going through the list, I also really like these ones: (From left to right: Cutemon, Paomon, Sistermon Blanc)

I feel like this is actually really hard because there are too many factors to think about like what kind of job it is in the first place, what the place you work looks like, etc. So many may be terrible in one category but amazing in another. I guess the closest if I really had to pick would be Slowpoke and I mean, he wishes you a Happy New Year for Valentine's Day, it's kind of obvious why. Would be fun to befriend, but definitely not super dependable with a workload.

Gen 2 - Technically Cleffa but that's a pre-evolution so for an actual evolution, Bellossom. I also like Blissey, but I prefer both pre-evolutions of the three. (Bonus shout-outs to Espeon and Umbreon and Porygon 2) Gen 4 - I actually really like Lickilicky. Togekiss is cute too. Gen 7 - Alolan Raichu Gen 8 - Mr. Rime. Most others, if any, are just new pre-evolutions I really liked.

I would say it's a tie between Vaporeon and Corsola for my favorite of the Sparkly Friends line. The Lil' Friends are also super cute. I'd love a plush of my favorites like this because of all the cute little gachapon carrying cases Japan tends to have for plush around this size. Togepi and Pikachu are probably my favorites of the ones made so far followed by Ditto and Swablu.

I actually made these Mega Audino ones as kind of a throwback to ones I made ten years ago.

This is actually what I was going to say. I really want a full Pokemon Center or more environmental sets with smaller Pokemon. If I picked an object, it'd be nice to have Mega Stones as I continue being biased forever, but it also bugs me that there has been barely any actual mega stone merch in the first place (just the glittery toy ones and the promotional Raichu one that was sent in some Influencer boxes I believe alongside ones they had for display only at the Mega Experience). For Pokemon, obviously Mega Audino would be my top pick. That said, I feel like it'd have to be a top favorite for me or look REALLY amazing for me to consider a big dedicated lego set of a Pokemon as I really would prefer something more diorama-esque.

Neither :P For the original, I want to say I went with Fire Red (though, I went with Blue initially despite picking Charmander as my starter). No real reason beyond because I was going to pick Charmander again. One thing I always do when playing a remake or third version is I pick the same starter, so I just picked the one that matched along with it being the one familiar to me in a way due to it being Leaf Green and not like... Water Blue :P Regardless of the reasons it is that way. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon pretty much killed my interest in remasters, remakes, and third versions for Pokemon for a whole slew of reasons so it'd take me a lot to ever consider one again. I think the only way I would is if it was a whole new story with all returning Pokemon. If I did play, I'd probably either try to get something close to my very first Pokemon team (Charizard, Articuno, Clefable, Snorlax, Mew, and Pikachu) or go with my six top Kanto favorites (which do have some overlap with that list). But at least for now, I don't really have any interest in replaying a game I already have essentially played through twice ^^;

If they add Mega Audino, which I don't expect to happen because Mega Audino is the mega that is the most shafted of all time, I may finally change my icon from my Mii... maybe.

Love Balls and Dive Balls have always had my favorite design (which is why I gave my Pokemon Trainer OC a custom Pokeball that is a combination of the two design-wise). I also find the Dream Ball cute. The Heal Ball is also kind of nice, but I always found the blue color for the center to not fit as nicely. (Though, I do wonder if it's what inspired Audino's color scheme)

Misty has always been a top favorite of mine, largely due to the anime. After her, I've always really liked Jasmine and Volkner.

I feel like I'd enjoy it more if I could just turn the timer off. A lot I get super close and fall just short, often due to the controls, but I'd like to be able to just do them at my own pace.

I'm still just hoping we'll get Mega Evolution ones now that all these other megas game out... But yeah, there are definitely some from Galar I'm super excited for such as Hatterene (I might also want Hattrem), Alcremie (Normal and Ruby Cream versions... Milcery may also tempt me depending on how it comes out), and Indeedee (female). Probably Polteageist as well, honestly, though I prefer the shiny color. Depending on how they look, Yamper, Wooloo, and Snom will also be very tempting.

I've always really liked the 5th movie-- Pokemon Heroes. I absolutely adore the setting and find it really cute.

I've been enjoying it, but the RNG on getting new plushies is rough. Also since they added new ones, I've been having trouble keeping track of which I still need (since when I made my list, I just removed ones I got...) I'm glad the newer update makes it more likely, but still annoying when trying to get an extra for quests, especially when legendaries are exclusive to the gachapon :/

As much as I'd love one, I find it less and less likely. I feel like there are a lot of ways to do it too. Some ideas I've had: Starting location for simplicity could be Kanto and people could travel to each region either in order or pick themselves with gym levels raising based off how many badges they have. More complicated option would be to let people Could be a good way to bring in Anime-exclusive locations Different servers-- PVE or PVP. PVE could essentially have it so areas are instanced to parties (so you could travel with friends) and the option to request battles. PVP could be on the level of the Battle Royale in Z-A. Could do an option of turn-based or real time-- if the latter, give control of the Pokemon when sent out. Customization in various ways with your trainer, hidden bases, and a place to customize (plus even your tent while traveling). Different "jobs" you could do-- trainer/master, option to own your own gym to be a gym leader/elite 4 member, be a Pokemon Breeder, run a cafe, etc. Lots of things you could do to experience the Pokemon World even outside of being a trainer. Could also bring in some of the like... Pokemon Stadium minigames and stuff. Imagine a Mystery Dungeon themed event. In general though, I think there is SO much they could use and work with to make a really amazing Pokemon MMO. I just can't see them bothering to do so anymore, especially with the mess of split timelines and other messy story stuff in the main games at this point.

So, I still keep thinking about this randomly (in which I clearly can't narrow it down to one), but I also think Porygon-2 having Porygon Z be a split evolution where maybe it could have a proper Porygon 3 would be neat too.

In the sense that I get very excited if I get a Pokemon-related gift and sometimes give some, yes :P But in the sense of having any kind of specific Pokemon decor, not so much. It's not for lack of wanting-- I LOVE the Holiday dioramas they've started doing. I just don't have the money for them right now and honestly, things are still so messy and unpacked for various reasons, I can't justify getting many things lately. That said, I love the Christmas merch a lot and still wish Mega Audino would be included because I think their design lends so well to the Christmas season. The Christmas Pikachu from last year still has to be one of my favorite Pikachu plushies or all-time.

Audino, but one that looks just like Mega Audino so maybe there would be more actual merchandise :P More seriously, I do think I'd like to see evolutions for most one-stage Pokemon. I also think having a second Paras evolution where it is either more bug focused or more of a sharing sort of thing over it being fully taken over by the mushroom would be nice. Similarly, I still find Dragonair -> Dragonite odd and while they tried to make it a bit more merged with Dragonite's mega evolution, I think it could be another neat split evolution. I think Fidough could also be cute with another evolution or like different breads like how Furfrou has different cuts and Alcremie has other flavors.

In a sense, I hate when they do happen because I really dislike the one-time only ones. I'd love to see them show up more. Pink Butterfree has a special place in my heart so I think I'd have to say it's my favorite as well, but I'd love to bring all of them together because it makes me so sad that they're always one off and gone X-x

It's more or less my permanent team at this point, but: Mega Audino Slurpuff Vivillon (Meadow) Dedenne Dragonair Meganium There is maybe a chance I may switch Meganium out for Aurorus depending on if I feel I could use Aurorus more to help cover certain weaknesses as other Pokemon in my party can learn some grass moves, but we shall see. I feel bad when I switch out my starter, but ignoring that it's a mix of old starters anyway, coincidentally X/Y is the only game outside of like remakes/third versions where I didn't keep my Starter in the party.

Much to my surprise (I could probably count shinies I've found randomly across every single game on one hand), I actually found a Shiny Swirlix in Z-A! While I prefer normal Slurpuff colors overall, I always liked the shiny one too because it makes me think of an ice cream sundae.
