Bad Habits?

I have a habit of continuosly fapping to a few of the female gym leaders.

No, in all seriousness, I blankly stare, without blinking, and while holding "A" in order to catch anything.

I tend to Revive and Potion (Hyper, Max, Full Restore) stall powerful enemies so I don't have to go back and grind more to defeat them. Then afterI beat the game I train well enough to beat any opponent easily.

-I always rearrange moves in order of power on every Pokémon, with the strongest to the weakest.
-I'll use the bike even if I'm 3 spaces away from where I need to go. I'm that lazy.
-I always walk towards important events slowly, to make it seem more dramatic. Be it GYM Leaders, Elite 4, Legendaries etc.
-If I'm bored I'll try to synchronise the cries of the Pokémon in my PC with the Pokémon Center Music in any game.
-I'll always hold down A/try to press A with the throwing/shakes/clicks when using a Pokéball, even a Master Ball.

I always give my pokemon the most powerful attack moves that I can give them. I usually never use moves that don't do and damage.

I don't really have bad habits. Maybe just for cloning items.
I never clone pokemon, RNG nor use cheating device.

Before I fight the Elite 4 I must WALK across the region starting from my house at noon. Exactly noon. It wasn't any trouble in HG but it was a bit of a pain in Platinum. I can't wait for Black and White though. All gym cities, a desert and three long caves to get through. Then I've got to challenge the Elite 4 after all that walking. And then there's two more fights after that even. With theoretically lvl 45/46 pokemon. Why do I even bother?

- I tilt my DS to match the rhythm of the Pokeball in hopes of capturing a Pokemon
- I don't buy healing items before a Gym battle
- I use weaker attacks whenever my opponent's Pokemon is in the red zone

I never use TM's that i dont have more than one of because i fear i will need it later on, and so i always send massive amounts over when i trade pokemon over to my Diamond or HeartGold. So im happy i wont loose them in Black and White.
I never train a starter or Legendary more than once (and i only have trained to Legendaries because i dont like to use them, and i will redo a starter but only use the new one).
I always try to use pokemon that i dont see use often such as Dunsparce, Jynx, and Bellossom.
I am OCD about keeping my pokemon the same level.
I dont check stats and natures i just keep them the way i get them.
And most of all i give my pokemon weird moves that are effective but not normally used on them.(Swagger Milotic, Special Sweeper Claydol, ect.)

I do that, except without holding "A." If I blink it escapes ~87% of the time.

I try to keep all my pokemon the same level, although I DO sometimes tend to save up items... repeatedly and never use them. I also only use moves that hurt the opponent and never any others. I only keep with me the pokemon I caught first in the game; HG is Maganium (Yes I will trade you a Chicorita if you want one), Fearow, Golem, Mamoswine(Here is an acception to my rule, I needan an Ice type! I switched ot out for Arbok), Slowking, and Ledian.

I kind of do the tilt thing, I push the arrow pad buttons in the direction it wiggles and yell "gotcha!" into the mike lol
I also ruch into gym battles without any stocked items. I always seem to win, though.
I can't use weaker attatcks when the other pokemon is in the red zome because I don't ususlly have weaker attacks XD

I know what moves to do when facing the people in the Top Trainer Cafe in Platinum. Also know what they will send out and which pokemon I should use first. Same thing for the Elite 4 now.
I also do that thing with the pokeball hoping it will get caught.

I have a bad habit of never visiting the marts to buy items because it seems like wasted time... then of course I have to do all this crazy switching to make it out of caves alive because I have no items...

Marts would be much quicker but I never seem to learn...

Aside from that, I have this other habit of trying to imitate Brendan/May (your rival from RSE) where I don't catch any pokemon unless I'm absolutely sure it's going to be on my final team. Usually this involves me training 2 or 3 pokemon to obscenely high levels because I can't find the ones I want.

I always over rely on one Pokémon from the start, usually my starter and only teach offensive attacks usually.
