Day 18: If you could erase one Pokémon from existence, which one would you choose?
Probably Honchkrow, though I have grown to like it and there are plenty of Pokémon I actually dislike. But Murkrow has been one of my favourites/top favourite for years and I was always hoping it would get an amazing evolution so to see Honchkrow for the first time was a bit disappointing. Just not what I had in mind at all, so if erasing Honchkrow would give Murkrow another chance for evolution, I'd take it.
Day 19: What is the most unfortunate thing that has happened to you while playing Pokemon?
Ran into a shiny Girafarig in Silver while training my Donphan. I had about three Ultra Balls on me, no status user or anything that could weaken it easily. I knew from previous battles that if Donphan's Fury Attack (don't ask) only hit twice then it should live. Needless to say, it hit three times, I raged, turned the game off and lost some of my levelling progress.
Day 20: How much did you spoil yourself before launch in previous generations?
Always knew all of the Pokémon before the international releases, which are all I really care about. I knew most of the story/game details in DP and BW due to following the discovery threads over on SPP, though.
Day 21: What are your plans for release day (October 12)?
I'm not working that day, so it'll be gaming for as long as I feel like it. I haven't pre-ordered from anywhere and was planning on picking it up at GAME as soon as the shop opened, but realised a couple of days ago that Tesco will be open earlier. I have two within walking distance; one opens at 6am, not sure what time the closer one opens at. Definitely not getting there for 6am regardless, but sometime before 7 to 8 sounds reasonable.
Day 22: Who is the coolest NPC in the Pokémon games?
I loved Lance when I was younger before I liked his hair and his cape and I found him the most satisfying character to beat.
Day 23: Which Pokémon was the biggest disappointment when you used it in-game?
I agree with the other people who said Zebstrika. Died to anything and just wasn't fun to use. I replaced mine with Galvantula as soon as I could.
However, I'd say my biggest disappointment to me was Floatzel in Diamond. It worked decently, maybe not hitting as hard as I'd have liked, but decent enough, but I just hated using it. This was before I started switching my team about though, so I kept it through the whole game and eventually got it to L100 but I was grinding my teeth the whole time.
Day 24: What is the cutest Pokémon?
Rufflet! It loses a lot of its cuteness in the Sugimori and Pokécentre/Dream World art, but the sprite is adorable as is some of the TCG illustrations. I find the shiny cuter than the normal version for some reason.
Day 25: Are you going to buy Pokémon X, Pokémon Y, or both?
I was certain for ages I'd be getting X becauce Xerneas is just beautiful but Yveltal has grown on me a lot the past month or so. When I ordered the special 3DS I opted for the red version so I'll be getting Y to match it. The cover legendaries are usually the main factor in my decision although after deciding on Y I was looking forward to getting Spritzee without trading until I saw its evolution.
