Blue for me is the second place (idk about B2W2's one. BW's follow Blue, and RSE's are the worst set imo with rivals sadly, despite good battle music).
Yeah, I heard some of them. It's neat that each gym got a different take on the theme and it really adds something to the gym, imo. I quite like Clay's myself.
I play LoZ (ones I have played fully are Twillight Princess, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, Minish Cap, OoT (3DS) and Skyward Sword). And I've beated Kid Icarus as well; that's quite the fun and amusing game. Only played limited amounts of Final Fantasy (the one game from that series I beat fully thus far is Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time!) and the other two I have played naught of.
