Other facts:
I will try and catch every pokemon I can on the way - adds more variety.
I build my team around different types, but if I find an old favourite (Gardevoir) I will change my team for it.
Sidequests are fun - pre e4.
I give my pokemon actual names, because it makes them more friendly. Certain pokemon will always a have a nickname, due to famaliarity.
Trading is harrrrrrrrd
I like having HMs on pokemon. Don't judge me.
It's easier to catch than evolve.
I will always, ALWAYS, try to get a Flygon in the Hall of Fame. That or the regional Flying-type.
I rarely find competitive battling fun. Kinda makes the post-game boring though...
I do not know how to breed for the life of me send help
I want to make friends with my pokemon.
