>>27823344>What gender do you play as?Depends on the game.
Boy for the first version, girl for the second. If there's a third version, I play according to what I believe is canon
Example:
FR: Boy
Ruby: Boy
Emerald: Boy
Pearl: Girl
Platinum: Girl
B/W/B2/W2: You get the idea
>How did I name my trainer?I use canon names for the most part, except gen V where I modify the names a little bit. Starting gen VI I name them from what their region is based of.
Nate => Nathan
Rosa => Rose
Calem => Sebastién
Serena => Cécilia
>How do you pick which Pokemon to raise?Starter, Lucario(If possible), Regional Bird, HM slave, Favourite mon from that generation, box-art legendary.
>Do you nickname your pokemon?No. Their natural names are often better.
>How often do you replay/restart your games? When a new gen comes out and I have transferred all mon from that save file.
>Do you play with self imposed challenges (ie Nuzlocke)?Yes. Since I can use injection, I edit my team to always be 10-15 levels below the gym leader / champion.
>How focused are you on competitive (Showdown/Battle Maison/VGC/Battle Spot/Other)?Showdown? Kek
Maison? Waste of time. I use permanent megamons.
VGC? Spearhead strategy. Hit em fast, hit em hard.
BattleSpot? Balance between strategy and spearhead.
