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.

If you manage to do that, I will be very envious :P I unfortunately struggle following video tutorials which is part of why I still haven't managed </3

Yellow is always my favorite third version as I liked the anime twist on it. I also enjoyed Black 2/White 2 for being a story continuation instead of just a replay.

There are honestly several, but if I had to narrow it down to one, I absolutely adore Shiny Ribombee. If I had any sewing skills, I'd love to modify a Ribombee Sitting Cutie/Fit Plush to be shiny instead.

Considering my favorite Pokemon is Mega Audino, it may not be much of a surprise to say mega evolution :P Removing some biases, I actually don't really like any-- I prefer battles being simple and I don't really enjoy mechanics that it feels you're forced to use. But in that sense, I enjoyed megas because while they did add some things, it was still that Pokemon with a new form and maybe some other new things and it's something I could see working even outside a battle gimmick and I really wish they WOULD find a way to make it a permanent thing. Everything else felt a lot more of a forced gimmick because of how specific their use is. In the same sense, I feel all of them could be combined with mega evolution, but not with the others. I did like some of the cutscenes for the Z-Moves, but I also feel like there were other ways to incorporate that (like stronger bonds with your Pokemon = twists on certain moves). Gigantimax did have some neat forms, but I just... did not care for the giant versions of them in any way and of all of them, felt like the most forced to be used to make like... a giant kaiju battle. I actually do like the tera crystals (I love rocks, again, biases), but not over actual form changes kind of like with Z-Moves, it's something I'd rather see combined in another way.

For a long time, I generally said Water even though if I thought about it, a lot of my favorite's types varied with many in normal (I just tend to lean towards Water starters), but Fairy has absolutely stolen the crown since it became a type. I feel like this is entirely unsurprising if you know my aesthetic :P

My first team from Pokemon Blue:

Shiny Ribombee (followed by Shiny Celebi) is probably my favorite shiny. As for least favorite... I honestly don't know. There are some where I did wish they were more my cup of tea (like Shiny Mega Audino is pretty disappointing to me), but I don't know if there is one in particular I super dislike. If I had to try and pick, I would guess one of the ones that are like neon green/yellow or the like brownish green-yellow. If I try really hard to pick one off-hand that bothers me, I guess maybe Shiny Primarina? The yellow "hair" doesn't match anything at all, even compared to its previous evolutions and I wish they went with a more complementary color of it (I think coral or seafoam could have been nice or even some mix): Like you had this Indigo, Violet, and light pink, and you added yellow. (As an aside, I don't personally have any grievances towards the ones that are super close in color. At least you know you'll like it and you get something similar with a special effect.)

I mean, I already do this frequently in most games. Whether it's a one stage only Pokemon that doesn't get tons of love (like Audino/Mega Audino) or just keeping them unevolved, it's absolutely something I do frequently. Even three stage evolutions-- sometimes I only get them to the second if I evolve them past the first. But yeah, just some of the Pokemon I've never fully evolved and used fully in a party: Pikachu, Frillish, Pumpkaboo, Lillipup, Rockruff, Wooloo, Galarian Ponyta, Piplup, Oshawott, Fidough, Flittle, Pawmo, Floette, Stufful, Teddiursa, Cleffa, Minccino... I could go for a while :P I always go with a party of favorites. I've never changed that.
