21, X, love it pokemon Silver.. when it came out I've enjoyed all of them really, inclined to say Emerald, Silver, or X. But all of them actually, even PMD made me cry quite a lot. On my birthday (Monday), a friend I added here asked me for trade and I accepted, he traded me a 4IV Jolly Charmander with egg moves called "Cake(:Candle(:" and it was holding a Lumiosette or whatever the cookie's called. that was amazing

19, Y and loving it, but busy life keeps me at 4 badges and I got it on midnight launch. Blue, 4 years old? Can't choose a favorite, all have amazing memories. Blue: Attempted Missingno glitch, decided to alter steps, encountered a lvl 154 Rapidash, knocked out my lvl 80 Blastoise. Silver: Fighting Red. Best day Ever. Gen 3, only Emerald interested me. First time getting into competitive battling, entered the Pokemon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America tournament. Level 70-90 pokemon, no scaling. Made it to round 2 because the guy I was against used action replay and got disqualified. Won a pikachu pillow. They wrote my name down in the wrong place and somehow got a letter in the mail saying I was a runner up and would take the spot of the kid who got first place if he dropped his spot at the nationals. Got a medal and t-shirt. Diamond/Platinum: Attempted to complete pokedex, 80% done. SS: Revival of memory from Silver Black: Back to competative, didn't get far. Own B2 but never played.

Got that fucker to a pixel of health with paralysis and went through literally every Ball I had trying to catch it, including over 15 Ultra Balls and over 20 Great Balls, around 5 Pokeballs, and a handful of the gimmick balls Gen II introduced. I had to reset. After I did, I entered that battle and decided to just instantly throw a regular Pokeball on the Lugia with full health no status ailment, and I caught it first try.

>Current age 20, grinding through Y right now. Actually the second longest I've spent on a game already behind Diamond, which I plugged a total of something like 300 hours in.>First game and age Blue when I was 6 or so? I think it was already out for a while though because I definitely remember playing G/S when I was 7.>Favorite game Definitely the Gen 2 games. I actually had all 3 games of the generation and I played through them all because childish autism and whatnot. Got HG as soon as it came out and had a crazy nostalgiafest. X/Y is still crazy fun because of dressup though. Lots of stories about missed chances really. I ended up killing Ho-Oh in Gold without catching it because I didn't think of saving and resetting before the battle. Also ran into a bunch of shiny Rattatas and Raticates which I never realized were shiny and ran away from. In Ruby I actually found one of the 6 random Feebas tiles but then I changed the stylish phrase whatever thing and I lost it. There was this one time after my Blue's internal battery seemed to have died and I just marathoned through the entire game in a day. This is when I was about eight. I gave that Blue version away to a friend because it couldn't save anyways but for some reason it started working again after he got it. Didn't really bother me though.

Current Age: 21 First Game Played: Red Favorite Game: Black. Close call, but I really like N. I also like Yellow, Gold, Emerald, and X. Childhood stories: In Pokemon Gold I got stuck after Whitney because I couldn't figure out where to get the damned spray bottle. I didn't want to fall behind my friends though, so I leveled by battle low level Pokemon and was in the 40s by the time my older brother showed me how to progress. When I played Sapphire for the first time, I spent an entire week combing the continent looking for a way to get to Johto. I'll never forget that disappointment. My firsty shiny was a Caterpie I instant-boxed in Gold and the sprite is so similar that I didn't know it was shiny until I loaded up the game five years later on a nostalgia trip.
