While we're on the subject of the new starters, what do you think of them? I wasn't too fond of Rowlett at first, but now I'm really starting to fall in love with him. I loved Litten from the start, the name is perfect and it's adorable. And just like everyone else I don't like Popplio. Although I have a specific, um, hatred for clowns. It's more of fear, since they just creep me out, and it seems Popplio's evolutionary line is heading in that direction. After they reveal the full evolutions I'll choose, although I think I'm gonna end up choosing Rowlett only because of it's tiny cute design.

You're totally right about the Kanto starters. Squirtle is my personal favorite of that bunch. Yeah, I know Journey to the West, mostly because of Dragon Ball Z. I think my favorite and least favorite starters for each gen would be Cyndaquil and Totodile from Gen 2 (because I love my Typhlosion and Feraligatr looks kinda awkward), Torchic and Treecko from Gen 3 (because idk), Turtwig and Piplup from Gen 4 (I have a soft spot for Turtwig and I don't like Empoleon), Snivy and Tepig from Gen 5 (you already know how much I like Snivy and not Tepig), and Fennekin and Chespin from Gen 6 (nothing against Chespin, just like the others more). Yours? Well yeah, I spent a lot of time on that site and made a lot of friends who have sadly left the site. I bet you can relate though. Wow don't even get me started on the GameFAQs Pokemon boards. They're HELL. Everyone is so jerkish and trolly all the time, basically the opposite of how relaxed and sane things are here. I hate going on those boards if I'm not in a troll mood (yes I know, I get troll moods and people suffer). I spent a good year or so on the Fire Emblem Awakening board (and then another board where a bunch of the FE:A people gathered) and the community is very toxic.

I didn't catch Eevee, I traded an egg over from another game (Black). Then I put the starter in the PC and continued to play as if Eevee is my starter. A lot of people love the nickname feature but I can't get into it unless the nickname just comes naturally. Like, my brother pronounces Dragalge "Dragalarge" and I thought that was pretty cute of him, so I nicknamed my Dragalge that. I sometimes bother with the Pokedex, and sometimes I don't. I filled it up in Soulsilver and in Y, but I just really wanted to play the game again in X so I didn't mind. But the Pokedex has legit gotten way too big to fill the National Pokedex now. I do trade over the Pokemon I like, but some of the Pokemon I don't care for (like those random Bunnelby) I just leave in the game.

Yep, that's exactly what I'm talking about! I try not to have type overlaps in my team, and because a lot of my teams don't use Flying types, I end up having to teach my legendary Fly, which is a real pain. Also, agree on the Gyarados thing. If anything, the Flying type is a hinderance to it. 4x weakness to Electric, and the only advantage I see is that it gives it a ground immunity, which is good against Earthquake users, but Water is already super-effective against it, so, again, not very helpful. It's Mega is pretty badass though.

Yeah, Gen 5 didn't have anything to do with older gens (I don't think they wanted to after Gen 4 added onto so many existing Pokemon), which I really enjoyed since it gave me the chance to test out all the new Pokemon without an older good Pokemon rearing it's head my way. It's how Mienshao, Haxorus and Hydreigon became my favorites. I hated the Mega Evolution at first, but after my brother started destroying my team with his Mega Aggron I had to fight back, and I started using Mega Mawile. The problem is that all the psuedo legendaries (bar Dragonite and Hydreigon) got Megas. Metagross, Salamence, and Garchomp all got Megas, when they clearly didn't need any. Weaker Pokemon like Delcatty, Bellossom, Luvdisc, these are the ones that should be getting Megas. It'd increase their usage and make the game more fair. Mega Kangaskhan is pretty good, even if Parental Bond is totally broken. Any Pokemon you want to see with Megas? And yeah Mega and normal Mawile is horrific but also has a certain cool factor to him.

By the way, I noticed you're editing the List of TD injuries prototype. Thanks for that, can you do Beth as well, when you have the time? I'd do it but I'm on screenshot duty for the existing tables.
