    Do you believe in cryptids/urban legends, or do you feel the majority of them are just hoaxes?

    Not really. Especially when you look at certain internet videos, and you can clearly tell they're fake/staged. Though despite my dismissal on these things, I do hope to visit somewhere that's believed to be 'haunted'. But that's mainly just out of sheer curiosity.

    1). It's going fine I guess.
    2). I mostly use a laptop.
    3). Yes, but any specifics I'd rather keep private.

    What's your least favourite starter Pokémon?

    Are you a procrastinator?

    Do you have any pets?

    Definitely Mudkip. What a lazily designed pokémon, it just rips off Wooper!

    While I don't hate the pokémon, I'd probably say Quiladin (you meant starter as in any member of the evolution line, right?), its design is the least appealing to me.

    I try not to be.

    Yes.

    Being that I'm not a mobile gamer, I haven't came across any truly bad mobile games... BUT, if you consider 'Pokémon Rumble World' a mobile game (it has the typical elements of one) then I'll say that's the worst.

    Here's why:

    For one, some of the problems I had with 'Super Pokémon Rumble' (which I thought was okay) were still there, like how you can't make your pokémon stronger. Since their base power is capped, you always have to get replacements for that pokémon whenever you progress through the game/level up (this is especially annoying when you recruit a rare/legendary pokémon and/or have one that has good moves).

    And there's the problems in the actual game:

    NUMBER ONE: Rare currency that is primarily obtained through paying real money. 'Nuff said.

    NUMBER TWO: Strong pokémon can get recruited WAY too early in the game (I recruited Kyogre before the maximum base power for my pokémon reached 1,000), this renders the weaker pokémon useless and defeats the purpose of working your way up and getting rewarded for doing so.

    NUMBER THREE: A bit of a nitpick, but to raise the base power of the pokémon you recruit, you have to recruit more pokémon, (once again defeating the purpose and satisfaction of making actual progress to an extent).

    NUMBER FOUR: You only have one life per level (in 'Super Rumble', you got three), and the only way to get an extra one when you faint, is use the rare currency.

    NUMBER FIVE: You can't choose which levels you can explore, so if you want to recruit pokémon in the fire world, you better hope the roulette picks it! Also...

    NUMBER SIX: After using up energy, you have to wait in real time to regain it. I hate mechanics like this. This is especially annoying when you put reason number five in the equation.

    Please note I haven't played this game in years. I deleted it quite early in, considering how bored I was of it.

    To put it as short as I can, I think they are a greedy business practice that take the 'free' out of "free" games (heck, sometimes micro-transactions can be in games you pay for). What I hate most about them, is that some games with micro-transactions have items, characters and e.t.c that you can't get anywhere else, meaning if you want it you HAVE to pay money for it.

    However, there are some games that have done this right. 'Sonic Dash' alongside the two 'Temple Run' games did this right, because everything in the game is obtainable, thus making the micro-transactions feel more optional.

    If you became a gym leader, which type would you specialize in? What team would you use? What kinds of puzzles would trainers need to solve in order to reach you?

    I would have a team of the following (in single format)

    Swampert (with swampertite)
    Greninja (with battle bond and icium z)
    Azumarill (with huge power and sitrus berry)
    Empoleon (with defiant and salac berry)
    Toxapex (with regenerator and leftovers)
    Araquanid (with water bubble and focus sash)

    In terms of layout and puzzles, I'd model it after waterfalls, streams, and dams. The trainer would have to change the tide using switches and valves, and use the ride pager to surf on the tides and climb up waterfalls. Water themed trainers would block your path unless you beat them in battle (like any standard gym).

    And the badge that would be given would be the stream badge. It's design? Just use your imagination.

    Does Nutella count as enjoying hazelnut?

    Why would I? Flies are the dunces of nature! Not to mention their diet primarily consists of fecal matter and corpses. No thanks

    Yes. And out of all the comics I've read so far, 'Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe' would be my favourite.

    Aqua (oddly enough, that's a shade of both blue AND green).

    By a bee? Yes. And I can confirm it'll hurt more than any splinter ever would (BEE it, said splinter would be on the same place you'd have been stung).

    Don't often get put in a situation where you would shuffle cards, but I'd say I'm okay(?) at shuffling them at best.

    What's your favorite number?

    Favorite type of Pokémon?

    Do you prefer the cold or the heat as far as weather is concerned?

    8; Why, you may ask yourself? For one, if you flip it 90 degrees, it becomes infinite (albeit a lopsided one), also because of this:



    Type as in elemental type? Or type as in species? If it's the former then it's water types.

    I prefer mild weathers; not too cold, not too hot. Perfectly balanced, like everything should be.

    (in all seriousness I prefer colder seasons/weather.)
