Team Rocket TRio, of course, but if we’re talking just the games I’ve always been a Team Magma person. Team Skull I have sympathy for and I love their look aesthetically.

The criteria for where I’d live have to be a) near water, b) near forest or mountain, c) a region with Pokemon I love, d) either easy travel or good shopping. I seriously cannot imagine living in a landlocked town without any water nearby so it resulted in the following list of top ten places I would live in Pokemon: Mossdeep, Hoenn (space nerd, plus ocean, plus favorite region) Canalave, Sinnoh (coastal, favorite Pokemon nearby (Lucario), great library) Lilycove, Hoenn (coastal city with good shopping and great pokemon nearby) Anistar, Kalos (coastal, gorgeous city) Fortree, Hoenn (treehouse. Need I say more?) Levincia, Paldea (coastal, good shopping, decent Pokemon, but too loud) Laverre, Kalos (the autumn halloween vibes override my usual preferences) Slateport, Hoenn (coastal, good shopping, lowkey) Sunyshore, Sinnoh (coastal, high tech city, though closed off most of the game) Blackthorn, Johto (the place I, a dragon type trainer, decided I would live when I was a child, so had to make the list despite not meeting most of my requirements)

I played Pokemon Go near daily for nine years…but I’ve dropped off since March. Now I get my Pokemon mobile fix from Pokemon Sleep (which has bullied me into a healthy sleep schedule regardless of what day it is) and Pokemon Pocket.

While personally I’m fine with the current level of difficulty; after all one can always have self imposed rules like nuzlockes if one wants more of a challenge, if they keep open worlds I do wish they would have level scaling depending on badge numbers.

Rookidee has a special place in my heart for many reasons, including that I found a shiny one early game in the first day I played Shield on release day and it kickstarted my becoming a shiny hunter. I also love corvids so it was really fitting that this line became my favorite early catch.

I think it would be fun and interesting to have an in depth aura game with Lucario. An aura guardian game set before Hisui era (like the movie with Sir Aaron)?

I played FireRed as a kid, so now I’m going to give LeafGreen a go. Beyond picking Bulbasaur I’m not sure what team I’m going to go with…I’ve picked Char and my OG was Squirt so I’m going with something new.

My favorite is the duskball because when it was first introduced it helped me catch some of my favorite pokemon (who often spawned in caves & at night) then of course the luxury ball! Hard to go wrong with black and gold. I’m also fond of the moon ball, but don’t use it as often as I’m always nervous to use ones I can’t just buy more of…

I have many favorite humans in Pokemon, but top five are: Cynthia Lillie Corbeau Cheren Ruby (manga) Honorable mention: Team Rocket

Pokemon is part of all my holidays! This year thanks to the Pokemon Center selling wrapping paper, all the gifts I’m giving are wrapped in Pokemon paper. And my friends who have small children are getting Pokemon themed gifts (various plush and books for them) and my older friends who also love Pokemon are getting Pokemon sweaters and mugs! I’m also planning on baking Pokemon sweets from the cookbooks; mainly Rockruff chow & Appletun hand pies

I’ve always been super fond of the Orange Island series and their unique Pokemon before regional variants were a thing. So Crystal Onix would have to be my absolute favorite (one day may we get it in game with perhaps a new typing?) but despite the fact I’m not fond of the color pink, the Pinken Island Pokemon are so iconic! Food changing Pokemon colors is soooo fascinating!

Started hunting for shiny pumpkaboo while I waited for trick or treaters, and amazingly got one in less than half an hour!

Pokemon Colosseum & XD Gale of Darkness will always have a very special place in my heart.

Five hours attempting to hunt in the Savannah Biome, gave up and started breeding for it, 219 eggs later and I got it!

Flygon, but I’ve all but resigned we’re never gonna get one. Also Zoroark! I feel like they could have a great mega!
