Title: Pokemon Quiz!
Description: AKA Steve is bored and fills out a thing
Steve - April 10, 2006 10:44 PM (GMT)
Found a Pokemon quiz, felt nostalgic, filled it out.
1) What was your first Pokemon game?
Pokemon red. Red is my favourite colour.
2) Can you remember who your starter was?
Charmander. Always charmander. It's the only one that doesn't suck! :D And it makes the game more challenging. Only kitties start off with Squirtle and Bulbasaur.
3) Did you ever complete the Pokedex in any games?
Ummm... yeah, once, in red. Almost did in Silver as well but my gameshark asploded my file. D:
4) Did you watch the Pokemon anime? Who was your favourite character?
Yeah, I watched the Pokemon anime. Can't say I have a favourite character, they're all lame. Although Team Rocket is vaguely amusing.
5) Do you still watch the anime?
Occasionally, when I'm in a masochistic mood. I stopped watching it during the Johto series, when it first occured to me "Heyyyyyyyyy. This show is running around in circles!"
6) What's your favourite Pokemon type? Explain.
Not sure. Fire and Rock, I guess. A lot of the ones I like are rock and fire type.
7) Who's your favourite Pokemon? Explain.
Lessee... I like Mewtwo, because it kicks ass, and it's the only psychic type that doesn't look incredibly stupid. Charizard is nifty (dragonthing!), as is Scyther (Mantisthing!), Tyranitar and Rhydon, (Dinothings!) Kabutops (Mantisshrimp thing!), Aerodactyl (Pterosaurthing!)... to be honest, there aren't too many Pokemon that I like enough to fanboy over.
8) Which Pokemon do you dislike the most? Explain.
Ummm... a good 80% of 'em? Too many random things, too many hideously cutsey things, too many immobile looking things... although Mr. Mime is definately near the bottom somewhere. Ugh.
9) Which is your favourite region? Explain.
Kanto, 'cause it's Old School.
10) Which is your favourite Pokemon series (ie, Kanto 1-151, Johto 152-251, Hoenn 252-358, others)?
Once again, Kanto.
11) Can you say a series Pokedex, without a reference, in order?
Pfft. Hell no. I remember all 151 of the originals and most of the second gen, although I don't think I could *list* them off the top of my head.
12) Do you know all the type advantages, disadvantages and all the super-effective moves for each type?
Most of 'em.
13) Did you prefer Pokemon before the new ones, or after?
Depends on what you mean by "New". If you mean the third and fourth gen? I ducking hate them. Awful, awful designs. Too detailed, too weird, not at all distinctive or memorable or even likeable. I think it's obvious they've exhausted their idea pool. First and second gen were okay, as there's a select few I like.
14) Have you got an Original Character who is a trainer?
Nope.
15) Have you ever wrote a fanfiction story about Pokemon?
No... I don't need to, I've created my own monster fighting comic thingy. xp
6) Was the OC based on yourself?
""
17) Who is your favourite gym leader?
Hrm... I dunno. All the girls are too young/boring looking, and the guys aren't interesting either.
18) What about Elite Four trainer?
Lorelei. She r0xx0rz my |30xx0rz. :D
19) If you lived in the Pokemon world, who would your starter be?
Charmander, of course. See the earlier comment on it being the only non-sucky one.
20) Which city would you live in before you started your journey? Why?
Pallet town, I s'pose, 'cause that's where *everybody* comes from.
21) Would you travel just in the one region, or spread to other places?
I'd go where My PoKeyMan tRaiNiNg jOUrNeY takes me.
22) Would you train just one type, or different ones?
Different ones. What kind of ducking moron trains only one type? Other then Gym leaders?
23) What kind of Poke-Person would you be? Trainer? Breeder? Gym leader? Other?
I WOULD BE TEH POKEYMAN MASTER!!!11lol!!!12
24) Would you collect gym badges? Or keep Pokemon as pets?
I would build an ARMY of Pokemon and RULE THE WORLD!!!1 Srsly. Who's gonna stop me? Officer Jenny and her Growlithes? xp The Pokemon world is a freaking law enforcement vaccuum.
25) Who is your ultimate two-on-two team? Explain.
Pfft. I dunno. Mewtwo and Tyranitar could likely smite near anything that comes their way, but I never did the two on two thing.

Zelos - April 11, 2006 01:21 AM (GMT)
Well, someone has to be different from the rest, so I guess that person is me
1) What was your first Pokémon game?
The original Blue version. It was Ruby that got me back into Pokémon, though.
2) Can you remember who your starter was?
I want to say Charmander, however I can't be sure of that. It may have been Squirtle butI have no way to find out which it was :(
3) Did you ever complete the Pokédex in any games?
Not legally, however back in my red/blue days I managed to get all 150 with minimal cheating. Ever since then I quite frankly haven't cared about it.
4) Did you watch the Pokémon anime? Who was your favorite character?
Yes, I watched the original season; then I skipped Orange Islands and Johto, and started watching again while the Dub was halfway through Advanced Generation and the Raw about halfway through Battle Frontier. Ever since around Novemeber or so I've been downloading every new episode :D
I don't really have a definite favorite character. Ash has admittedly grown better over the years and his current team in the Raw (Sceptile, Donphan, Swellow, Corphish, and Pikachu of course. He also used Tauros in the first of the Battle Tower episodes, however I haven’t watched the second yet so I don’t know if he returns it to Oak’s or not) is awesome. Some of his battles are quite impressive as well. May, despite her cheapness sometimes, also has the cuteness factor going, especially with her new Eevee. Brock is probably my all around favorite since he’s just plain hilarious, however. I never really did like Misty...
5) Do you still watch the anime?
As I said above, yes.
6) What's your favorite Pokémon type? Explain.
Fire all the way. To bad there’s so few fire Pokémon compared to some other types like Water.
7) Who's your favorite Pokémon? Explain.
My absolute two favorites are Quilava and Absol. I love Quilava because of how cute it is and Absol because of its sheer coolness, along with its cuteness :) Cyndaquil is cute as well but not as cute as Quilava, while Typhlosion is neat, though I prefer Quilava to it. Lugia and Mew are my two favorite legendaries; Mew because of, well, how cute it is (see a pattern here?) and Lugia because of its power, gracefulness, and underlying evilness *cough* Flygon is neat as well, along with Poochyena, Mightyena, and Linoone.
8) Which Pokémon do you dislike the most? Explain.
I don’t really ever give it much thought, however it would probably be pretty much all rock types; they’re just strange... And not cute in the least...
9) Which is your favorite region? Explain.
Pretty much Hoenn. It’s big (Kanto is fairly small...) plus actually has variety in the landscape other then just forests, plains which all look the same, and oceans. I mean, it actually has a volcano and desert, something which Pokémon desperately needed. Now they just need a snowing place...
10) Which is your favorite Pokémon series (ie, Kanto 1-151, Johto 152-251, Hoenn 252-358, others)?
Some people will probably heavily disagree with me on this, but I have to say Hoenn. Oh sure, some people may go “OMG! Look at Linoone! It’s a Furret rip-off!” But I just go, “OMG! Look at Furret! It’s a ferret rip-off!”
Just because the designs are similar, does not mean they are rip-offs.
11) Can you say a series Pokédex, without a reference, in order?
No. I used to be able to with the original 150, however I can’t anymore. I am able to pretty much identify any Pokémon thrown at me, however.
12) Do you know all the type advantages, disadvantages and all the super-effective moves for each type?
The major ones, I do have trouble with some of the less common type combinations.
13) Did you prefer Pokémon before the new ones, or after?
I’m really starting to see the differences between me and Steve here :D *Raises flame shield* I prefer the newer Pokémon.
How is detail bad? And the same with weirdness, do you want every single Pokémon to look just like it might belong in the real world? And, considering that five of my favorites are from the third gen with a new favorite rapidly approaching from the fourth gen (Buizeru, an otter at last! With an inner tube around its neck, no less!) I have to say that the new Pokémon sure are memorable to me. Hell, they’re what kicked me back into Pokémon.
14) Have you got an Original Character who is a trainer?
Yes, two in fact; Shrike Flamestar and Rayne Jarxis. I also have several other characters in the Pokémon world, but they’re not really trainers.
15) Have you ever written a fanfiction story about Pokémon?
Yes, and proud of it. My current one isn’t finished yet (and probably never will be, considering it’s an open ended OT fic) however what I have written has received very good reviews. I really need to work on it some more, however.
16) Was the OC based on yourself?
Yes. All my characters are parts of my personality.
17) Who is your favorite gym leader?
Flannery from Ruby/Sapphire.
18) What about Elite Four trainer?
Drake, also from Ruby/Sapphire.
19) If you lived in the Pokémon world, who would your starter be?
Cyndaquil, then once it evolved to Quilava I’d slap an Everstone on it :D
20) Which city would you live in before you started your journey? Why?
Either Goldenrod (Johto) or Rustboro (Hoenn). Probably Rustboro, seeing as that is where my fanfic starts out.
21) Would you travel just in the one region, or spread to other places?
Not quite sure on that, this is probably one of the few things Steve and I agree on, I’d just go where the wind takes me.
22) Would you train just one type, or different ones?
Different types, obviously. My favorites aren’t all one type :D
23) What kind of Poke-Person would you be? Trainer? Breeder? Gym leader? Other?
Probably just a normal, roaming trainer with no desire to be anyone special.
24) Would you collect gym badges? Or keep Pokémon as pets?
When I pass by a Pokémon Gym and feel I’m prepared I would challenge the leader for a badge, however I wouldn’t actively seek out gyms.
25) Who is your ultimate two-on-two team? Explain.
Don’t care for anything competitive, however if this was the “real” Pokémon world where things such as EVs and stats don’t matter it’d either be Quilava/Absol or Quilava/Flygon.

I would, and pray tell me, just how is it lame to actually think up your own original story in the Pokémon universe? Can you think of no plotline other then "Gary Stu slept in, so he goes to the Pokémon Lab and is forced to take a Mew from Professor Oak since that’s the only Pokémon they have left. Gary and his new Mew develop a relationship full of love, friendship, and all around goodness! Because he’s the main character of the story and thus ultra-powerful, Team Rocket chase after him wherever he goes so as to forever put an end to his goodness! Oh no! Fortunately Gary owns them at every stop, since they are pitifully weak and have no purpose other then to be Gary’s personal stalkers. Of course he manages to get his eight badges, mostly through helping the Gym leader without any actual battling to be spoken of, and enters the Pokémon League where he is actually beaten by some random person you will never hear of again! Because of his loss Gary goes emo before deciding to venture to a whole different continent since no one there will know of his failure."
If so, get an imagination and try to think of what being a trainer would REALLY be like, certainly nothing like the Anime or Generic Trainer Fic Starring Gary/Mary Stu #56839 portrays it. That is the whole reason I, and several other people write Pokémon fanfiction, to portray the hidden reality that the Pokémon world isn’t all peaches and cream.
If you find writing about a subject you enjoy lame, then what do you find amusing?
Drk-X - April 11, 2006 04:02 AM (GMT)
Typical that the ubers are favorites among the non Pokemon Pros :]

That's what I was meant to say, I think you did get that point. Ahh well, my bad for dissing the Pokemon fanfic writers (or fanfic writers in general if they misinterpret). Haha, I wasn't thinking straight and I only have myself to blame. I'll take the comments back. I guess for future's sake that you'll just have to live with it that not everybody finds Pokemon fics all that interesting if the plot doesn't hook them at all. Its only an opinion, really. Nothing to get worked up about. If your willing to change my opinion, then give me a couple of Pokemon fanfics that you find good and I'll give it a shot.
By the way, I only play the games for nostalgia's sake.
Edit: Oh, I haven't this question so I'm going to do it now.

| ... then what do you find amusing? |
On the similar scale of things, that'll be Fate/stay night. Have you heard of it? In a nutshell, this boy finds himself into the "Holy Grail" War where seven magi and their seven servants (these servants are summoned of mythological/historical reference. People like Joan of Arc, and Hercules) fight each other to gain a wish when ordinary magic and sorcery cannot.

Arcanine and Vaporeon. The former is a big firedogkittything, the latter...well, it's just plain cool, dangit. It's saved me so many times...

Ah, that's okay then, Hetman. I can understand that some people may not personally like fanfiction, I just felt that I must defend my honor as a fanfic writer, and seemingly the only one of Pokémon fanfiction on this board... I'm all alone ;_;
I would go and get some links, however I am to tired right now and can't think very well myself. Perhaps when I've finished part 1 of my fanfic I can post a link on here. Not much great to it right now though, it’s what I have planned for it in the future that excites me *cackles evilly and drums fingers together* My lack of any remorse or pity when it comes to fantasy situations will help greatly in some parts of this story of mine...
Hmm, I've never heard of that before, but it sounds interesting. I may have to look it up sometime...
Aardwulf - April 11, 2006 05:55 AM (GMT)
1) What was your first Pokemon game?
I played the card game with my sister. Once.
2) Can you remember who your starter was?
I dunno, I think I had some Eevees. Or maybe that was my sister. One of us killed the other's Eevee with a farting gaseous Pokemon, I remember that much.
3) Did you ever complete the Pokedex in any games?
I imagine not.
4) Did you watch the Pokemon anime? Who was your favourite character?
I watched a few episodes when it first came on in syndication, found it mildly entertaining in small doses. Then once WB got hold of it and turned it into an unstoppable merchandising juggernaut, and you couldn't swing a dead cat without knocking over displays of Pikachu dolls and Charmander action figures and Squirtle vibrators, I got fed up with it and wanted nothing more to do with it.
5) Do you still watch the anime?
I still can't really take it for more than a few minutes at a time, no.
6) What's your favourite Pokemon type? Explain.
I guess water ones? Most of the magical freaky battle monster things I end up liking are water-based.
7) Who's your favourite Pokemon? Explain.
I don't know enough about any of them to have a favourite. I think Growlithe and its evolution (Arcanine or something?) are sort of cute. Meowth is amusing, just because he's such a snarky bastard.
8) Which Pokemon do you dislike the most? Explain.
The one that looks like a mime. It's hideous.
9) Which is your favourite region? Explain.
Region 1, for domestic DVDs are cheapest.
10) Which is your favourite Pokemon series (ie, Kanto 1-151, Johto 152-251, Hoenn 252-358, others)?

Drk-X - April 11, 2006 04:49 PM (GMT)
1) What was your first Pokemon game?
Pokemon Blue
2) Can you remember who your starter was?
Squirtle, because Charmander is REALLY HORRIBLE in the first games if you plan on battling others. Why? Because Bellyzard is NOT in this game. Thus, Charizard is nothing more than a fragile fighter who won't last very long in a VS match whereas Venusaur serves as an annoyer and Blastoise is pretty much the best tank in RBGY.
3) Did you ever complete the Pokedex in any games?
Only in Blue, Red, Yellow, Silver, and Crystal. I never had Gold and I didn't bother for the new versions.
4) Did you watch the Pokemon anime? Who was your favourite character?
Up until Johto. I liked Kasumi, she was interesting...then she left >.<
5) Do you still watch the anime?
No
6) What's your favourite Pokemon type? Explain.
Ice and Ground. Nothing is resistant to both. Any retard knows that :]
7) Who's your favourite Pokemon? Explain.
Vaporeon. It's my star fighter after all of my other Pokemon Baton Pass maximum speed and attack to it. Double Team and Return away :]
8) Which Pokemon do you dislike the most? Explain.
Ubers, because all the n00bs on Netbattle use them, like Pokefan Silver, the bane of all n00bs :]
9) Which is your favourite region? Explain.
Don't care
10) Which is your favourite Pokemon series (ie, Kanto 1-151, Johto 152-251, Hoenn 252-358, others)?
Don't care
11) Can you say a series Pokedex, without a reference, in order?
Don't care
12) Do you know all the type advantages, disadvantages and all the super-effective moves for each type?
You're talking to a Netbattler...of course I know how to kick ass >.<
13) Did you prefer Pokemon before the new ones, or after?
Don't care
14) Have you got an Original Character who is a trainer?
Don't care
15) Have you ever wrote a fanfiction story about Pokemon?
No
6) Was the OC based on yourself?
No
17) Who is your favourite gym leader?
Kasumi (outfit) :]
18) What about Elite Four trainer?
rolfmao Lance because all the fanboys do~!!! :] :] :]
...yeah right...
19) If you lived in the Pokemon world, who would your starter be?
Skarmory. Skarmory with Spikes, Toxic, and Whirlwind pwns everything.
20) Which city would you live in before you started your journey? Why?
Tokyo :]
21) Would you travel just in the one region, or spread to other places?
I don't care
22) Would you train just one type, or different ones?
Not the same but not that different either. I only use Baton Passers, Sweepers, and at least one annoyer. I don't have a need for tanks (unless it's RBGY, in that case Blastoise or Dragonite, for GSC I'll occassionally use Blissey or Kingdra) I don't have room for psuedo-hazers, and attackers are plain pointless.
23) What kind of Poke-Person would you be? Trainer? Breeder? Gym leader? Other?
Netbattler. Stay at home :]
24) Would you collect gym badges? Or keep Pokemon as pets?
I don't care
25) Who is your ultimate two-on-two team? Explain.
Before I answer...
| QUOTE (Steeeeve) |
| Pfft. I dunno. Mewtwo and Tyranitar could likely smite near anything that comes their way, but I never did the two on two thing. |
Typical that one would use an all uber team instead of strategy :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Ninjask and Kingdra/Dragonite. Tank + Baton Passing without fear of attack. Bring out Marowak afterwards and you'll have a super fast sweeper and a wall to shield it.

Blade Liger Mirage - April 16, 2006 01:58 PM (GMT)
1) What was your first Pokemon game?Pokemon Red and Blue, I got them both at the same time. But I played Red first.
2) Can you remember who your starter was?Charmander, duh. =D
3) Did you ever complete the Pokedex in any games?In Red, I did. Then I deleted it.
4) Did you watch the Pokemon anime? Who was your favourite character?I use to. I enjoyed the first season, then the anime kinda lost it's touch. The battles were boring, the same thing happened every episode. Ash and Co. meet some trainer/Pokemon then Team Rocket tries to steal it just to fail. As for vharacter, I liked Jessie some, how she bossed James around.
5) Do you still watch the anime? No, it's pointless and has no plot.
6) What's your favourite Pokemon type? Explain. Fire, because it's burny and reminds me of Axel. Blah, BURN STUFF! Psychic, because it's just cool, and Electric since it's zappah.
7) Who's your favourite Pokemon? Explain.Charizard, the most kickass thing I know. Closely followed is Espeon, cute but with a "better then you" attitude. Finally, Raichu who is just a blob of fuzz. I also love Mightyena, the first Pokemon to star in my Pokemon fanfic. My fav 00bers are Articuno, Groudon, and Lugia. Arty is just amazingly beautiful, Groudon is like the Death Saurer of Pokemon, all "RAWR I EAT YOU BRAINS!" and Lugia because of her power and evil outlook.
8) Which Pokemon do you dislike the most? Explain.I dislike the babies and other annoying, cute-looking things. But I really hate Wynaut. It annoys the crap outta me.
9) Which is your favourite region? Explain.Kanto, has the best Pokemon, cities, everything.
10) Which is your favourite Pokemon series (ie, Kanto 1-151, Johto 152-251, Hoenn 252-358, others)?Again, Kanto. Johto is a close second however.
11) Can you say a series Pokedex, without a reference, in order?Few years ago I could remember all 151 Pokemon. Now I can't.
12) Do you know all the type advantages, disadvantages and all the super-effective moves for each type?Yus, for the most part. I have some trouble with ghost and dark though.
13) Did you prefer Pokemon before the new ones, or after?Before the new ones. The old Pokemon are just that much better.
14) Have you got an Original Character who is a trainer?Not a trainer, not yet. I'm poking it though.
15) Have you ever wrote a fanfiction story about Pokemon?The Secret of the Wolf Pack. I haven't updated it in forever. I'll be writing more, but this one is my "big fic".
6) Was the OC based on yourself?Somewhat. The main character, Storm, is headstrong, pokey, and bites things, like me. ^_^
17) Who is your favourite gym leader?I kinda hate them all. but Blaine is ok. Fire dude.
18) What about Elite Four trainer?Drake, I guess.
19) If you lived in the Pokemon world, who would your starter be?Charmander, simply the best. Besides, Charizard can fly! Whee!
20) Which city would you live in before you started your journey? Why?Pallet Town, beciase it's "The" Town.
21) Would you travel just in the one region, or spread to other places?Spread to other places so everyone will know my gloru.
22) Would you train just one type, or different ones?Different types. Fire, Psychic, Electric, Dragon, Dark, Water,
23) What kind of Poke-Person would you be? Trainer? Breeder? Gym leader? Other?I would be an evil girl bent on destroying the world and drinking all the steak sauce. Yush.
24) Would you collect gym badges? Or keep Pokemon as pets?Read the above answer.
25) Who is your ultimate two-on-two team? Explain.Hm, usually a flier and someone with earthquake. Salamence and Skarmory works good. But my fav combo is Charizard and Espeon. Those two are killer.
26)Do you nickname your Pokemon?Yus! I have a Charizard named Axel, Raichu named Larxene, Absol named Demyx, uhhh, I think there's an Espeon named Marluxia, then there's the Lugia who's Xemnas, Articuno is Riku, and leaving the KH stage, I have a Pikachu named Jack Shock, a Sceptile named ForestFire, Godzilla the Groudon, Kobra the Arbok, Cloud the Zangoose, and there's hundreds more.
(Added the last one to see if anyone would copy it. =P)
Zelos - April 16, 2006 05:48 PM (GMT)
Good to see there’s someone else around here who at least has written Pokémon fanfiction. I’m still alone on preferring the third generation, however ;_; That additional question is a good one, though, so here's my answer for it.
26) Do you nickname your Pokémon?
Yes. In my story (as well as any future game) I’ve created a whole list of nicknames for the main characters’ Pokémon. It’s not complete yet, but what I do have is as follows,
Shrike Flamestar’s Pokémon:
Cyndaquil/Quilava- Zethro (Means “Fierce Flame” in my own made up “language” of sorts)
Typhlosion, evolved from Zethro- Uriel (The Angel of Flame & God, Zethro is renamed after its final evolution because of plot reasons which would take to long to explain)
Zigzagoon/Linoone- Jehiel (Angel of Wild Beasts, named so because of his wild personality and how he attacks anyone and everyone but Shrike)
Poochyena/Mightyena- Behemiel (Angel of Tame Beasts, named because she is pretty much the antithesis of Jehiel. Instead of being crazy, she is calm and level-headed)
Flygon- Tabris (Angel of Free Will, named so because of how he loves to fly and do whatever he likes)
Rayne Jarxis’ Pokémon:
Absol- Matariel (Angel of Rain, named because she was Rayne’s first Pokémon, plus also means “Premonition of God” which really fits an Absol)
Espeon- Oriel (Angel of Destiny, not much to explain except that there really needs to be an “Angel of Egos” as that’d be her name in a heartbeat)
Electrike/Manectric- Ramiel (Angel of Thunder, named because of the type, duh. I may change it if I can find an “Angel of Fighting” as he craves battles)
Shrike also has a Poochyena/Mightyena, but I haven’t decided on a name for it yet, and Rayne also has an Espeon whose name also isn’t finalized. If you can’t tell, I love angelic names and was partially inspired by Neon Genesis Evangelion to name the Pokémon after angels (In fact, three of the names ARE from NGE angels)
EDIT: Figured out names for the final two major Pokémon.
Steve - April 17, 2006 12:04 AM (GMT)
I don't write Pokemon fanfic, but I've created my own series of comics using the basic "magical battling animals" concept/genre, so I guess that comes close-ish. xp
As for nicknames... I don't usually give my Pokemon nicknames, although I've created a team based on various Kaiju.
Tyranitar = Godzilla
Aerodactyl = Rodan
Rhydon = Baragon
Muk = Hedorah
Venomoth = Mothra
Blastoise = Gamera
Blade Liger Mirage - April 17, 2006 01:27 AM (GMT)
I've tried Pokemon fics quite a few times, but I'm not good at using people. It's much easier for me to use a Pokemon's point of view. And since I think Dark type Pokemon are the most unique and afar from the other types, there came my strong point in Pokemon fics. I'm thinking of starting another, tho. Maybe try my luck at a Pokemon trainer fic. Pick a plot, start a few chapters, and see what happens.
Where do you post your fics Zelos? At serebii?
Tilly - April 17, 2006 01:30 AM (GMT)
My Pokemon have nicknames a lot of the time. I blame Bonnie for the weirder ones, like BEQUIET! the Scyther, meatloaf (all in lowercase) the Furret, or WOOOOOO the Ariados...

Yeah, it's also on Fanfiction.net and thepokemontower.com, although Serebii is where I always update first. My name on all of those is Shrike Flamestar (or just plain Shrike in the case of TPT), however I haven't posted anything new in a while. I'm finalizing my proofreading of my newest (and long overdue, curse you Oblivion!) chapter now, so hopefully I will be able to bump the thread back up within the next couple of days. Maybe even tonight if I hurry!
Don't expect much yet, however. The chapter I'm finishing right now is the one where Shrike truly receives possession of Zethro, there hasn't really been much Pokémon action so far, mostly just character setup. The first chapter does have a different kind of fight that I am very pleased with, though... Be warned though that I’m not holding anything back in the way of blood, cursing, etc. Jehiel and Ramiel’s fights will surely be fun to describe...
Blade Liger Mirage - April 17, 2006 01:55 AM (GMT)
Ooo, coolies. I'm going to read it right now. n.n I haven't updated my fics in a long time, mainly because I think my fics are kinda Mary Sue-ish(according to DeadBorder in my poor "When Times Turn" Fic) and that I don't have much time as of late. But with Spring Vacation, I'm atleast getting 2 chapters up.
Zelos - April 17, 2006 02:07 AM (GMT)
Heh, I'm not worrying to much about clichés in mine. In my personal opinion clichés are fine as long as they aren’t over done and you put your own spin on them to make it exciting to read. I shouldn’t have to worry about Shrike becoming a Gary Stu or Rayne a Mary Stu, though since by the end of the series (if I ever reach there, it may take years at this rate...) the plot is going to be completely different then your average OT fic.
If you’re really interested in reading it, it’s called “The Flamestar Chronicles.” I also have another fic on Serebii called “IMPULSE” that I only wrote one chapter for, but that was more of an experimental story to try out some ideas I had and try to find the genre I liked. Just do a member search for “Shrike Flamestar” (be sure to include the “Flamestar,” there’s also a plain Shrike who is NOT me) and I have links in my sig to the threads if you want to read them right now. Feel free to leave reviews for TFC, but not IMPULSE (I don’t want a dead story to be bumped up).
Momonga - April 17, 2006 07:53 AM (GMT)
I nickname my pokemon all the time.. currently there's nothing, because my brother saved over my game, and then I saved back over his, and I haven't gotten around to playing it.
But in my last game all my pokemon were named after Zoids.. at least, all the ones I could think of Zoids that were similar to them. Pikachu was a Soul Tiger! I was Seijuu and my rival was Zairin~... which now brings up another possible question.. what do you name yourself when you're playing?
Tilly - April 17, 2006 08:15 AM (GMT)
I go by Tilly, and my rival is Rival!, except on Yellow where I'm BOB! and I think my rival is WHEE!. Um...I must have been tired.
I want to name an Arcanine Wolff and give it Extremespeed. I should, next I play Crystal.
...dude, what was I thinking with this save file? My Pikachu is "Wibble", Charmeleon "Slashy", Nidoking "Bricky", Raticate "Lunp", Bellsprout "Wine" (I HAVE NO IDEA.), and the Clefairy I have along for Flash "Squish".

Yus, I did a search and started reading. I'm about halfway, and I like it so far. Zelos reminds me of Axel from Kingdom Hearts, since he has the hair, clothes, and steals a fire-type Pokemon. Chances are I'll leave a review once I finish both chapters. I usually worry alot over my characters becoming Mary Sues, so I kinda skipped out on writing for a bit until I can think of someway to turn half of my fics around. >_> But I got a new Pokemon fic idea. I'm going to try and create an explanation to why Zangoose and Seviper hate each so much. What fun. =D
Let's see....in one Fire Red my name is "Dragon" and my rival is "Hydra". On the other fire red I'm "Homer" and my rival is "Flanders".
That's all I remember. But I think I have a wide range of naming my rival after curses. >.O
I have a Wobbuffet named "Mr. Wobbles", Steelix named "Onyx", Ludicolo is "Hooter".
That's all I can pull up now.

Bah, I don't Netbattle. I've never really been any good at the competitive battling side of Pokémon.
Glad you're enjoying TFC so far. I just posted Chapter 3, the final chapter in Part 1, after more then a month of inactivity on my part...
Blade Liger Mirage - April 17, 2006 06:15 PM (GMT)
I don't use Netbattle, kinda confusing(for me) and never downloads fully. Besides, I haven't really picked up a Pokemon game in a while, and I imagine my skills have taken a turn for the worse.
Yus, it's pretty good so far. The internet chat is fun to read. x3

Heh, I tried netbattle once, only to have my UU team (of 6 cleffas...) swept away. Oh, and I nicknamed my Rayquaza, Queasy and Latios, Rayse. Cuuute... I also named my Swampert, Swampy, but I traded him and never got him back ;_;

1) What was your first Pokemon game?
Red
2) Can you remember who your starter was?
Charmander
(it was cute)
3) Did you ever complete the Pokedex in any games?
Red
4) Did you watch the Pokemon anime? Who was your favourite character?
Brock for some reason. I also liked Team Rocket. I dressed up as James for Halloween one year (2000). Just recently I actually FOUND the nayru jacket with the giant red 'R' printed on it again. If I were to wear it along with my normal regular attire, I would be the ULTIMATE hipster...

I stopped watching when they ditched Brock though.
5) Do you still watch the anime?
No
6) What's your favourite Pokemon type? Explain.
Normal (because NO ONE ever suspects it)
7) Who's your favourite Pokemon? Explain.
Stylistically: Charizard all the way
Gameplay-wise: Raticate (simple, and effective)
8) Which Pokemon do you dislike the most? Explain.
I don't like the special super what-ever pokemon (like Ho-oh and those overly ornamental dog things) The only decent super-whatever pokemon was lugia and
that's just because the design was TOLERABLE.
9) Which is your favourite region? Explain.
Kanto, 'cause it's the original and therefore the best.
10) Which is your favourite Pokemon series (ie, Kanto 1-151, Johto 152-251, Hoenn 252-358, others)?
Um... Kanto..
11) Can you say a series Pokedex, without a reference, in order?
Hell, no. I got plenty of other more important things to use my brainspace for than remebering ~384 game critters
12) Do you know all the type advantages, disadvantages and all the super-effective moves for each type?
I don't care. I beat all of red with regular type pokemon. It's all stratagie and prioritization.
13) Did you prefer Pokemon before the new ones, or after?
Before
14) Have you got an Original Character who is a trainer?
N/A
15) Have you ever wrote a fanfiction story about Pokemon?
ONLY ONCE, many, many, many years ago. I don't even have it anymore. LEAVE ME ALONE!
6) Was the OC based on yourself?
N/A
17) Who is your favourite gym leader?
Don't know
18) What about Elite Four trainer?
Never had one.
19) If you lived in the Pokemon world, who would your starter be?
No. that's wrong. If I lived in the Pokemon world I would do something completely unrelated to pokemon JUST TO BE IRONIC. :P
20) Which city would you live in before you started your journey? Why?
Saffron: I like big cities.
21) Would you travel just in the one region, or spread to other places?
Screw other places. All the other places with Pokemon outside of Kanto SUCK.
22) Would you train just one type, or different ones?
I don't even know anymore...
23) What kind of Poke-Person would you be? Trainer? Breeder? Gym leader? Other?
The guy that does things.. with the stuff...
24) Would you collect gym badges? Or keep Pokemon as pets?
Don't know
25) Who is your ultimate two-on-two team? Explain.
Raticate + Charizard
Everyone attacks charizard first. And that's fine, cause Charizard goes down fast. But then they don't expect something as subtle as Raticate to be near as fast, or as strong with a completely non-elemental attack to attack them and actually do a lot of damage.
