>>27823344>What gender do you play as?It varies, depends on which gender's character design I like the most.
>How did you name your trainer?I just pick a random name depending on the gender of my character, if I can't think of any, then I just default to which ever version I'm playing as as the name.
For example, I set my latest White playthrough to female and named her "White".
>How do you pick which pokemon to raise?I just pick Pokemon I like, but I usually plan my team out beforehand.
>Misc play style questionsYes; if I'm planning to use that Pokemon at some point, then I nickname it, usually after some obscure Gods or characters from a TV show. I've never done challenges, I just play through the game normally. Though, I guess I lately have been trying to use different/obscure Pokemon, from the earlier routes for example, or mon that aren't discussed as often. I suck at competitive, so I don't do battle online. The closest I've gotten is the Battle Maison, and even then, I've never gotten to the Battle Chatelaines and beat them.
