>What gender do you play as?
Always play as the girl.
I'm a dude.
It's consistent across games, except for once in B2 I tried going as the dude but I couldn't do it, reset the game.
>How did you name your trainer?
Always after the version I'm play, but for the remakes I drop the Fire/Leaf/Heart/Soul bit. For Y, I chose an actual name that began with the letter, and had my friends call me Y. Felt weird, won't do it again.
>How do you pick which pokemon to raise?
I usually don't go in with a plan, apart from maybe a general direction such as only using Pokemon new to the gen, but I generally don't stick with it. Around the 6th Gym my team is usually final. Also, from 2nd gen on, I always drop my starter as soon as I get something of it's type, but I always pick the Water starter anyway.
I always take at least one Electric and one Steel, though. Magnezone counted as both in my Y run.
No Legendaries.
>Misc play style questions?
Sometimes I nickname my Pokemon, but I usually don't.
Not very often, but I usually take large breaks from Pokemon. When I was a kid I'd restart RBY as soon as I finished them, and then I didn't play again until I was 14, with B again, and from then I've yet to play any Pokemon game more than once. Remakes excluded, I've played FRLG a number of times.
I don't tend to Nuzlocke as I don't tend to replay games, but I did it once and it was pretty fun.
I don't focus on competitive at all, but a good number of my friends are interested in SM, so I may attempt at making a team, but I won't decide until I beat the game and then see how much I still want to play. On that, I also never care about post-game content, after beating the E4 I might go through it again once or twice but I usually just put down the game.
