1. What’s your favorite TYPE?
Fire. Most of my favourite Pokemon are fire-types - Charmander, Growlithe, Houndour, Victini, etc. One reason I didn't like DPPt that much was because of a serious lack of Fire-types.

2. What's your favorite STAT?
Speed. I like striking first.

3. What’s your favorite ATTACK?
Giga Impact. It's the best I could think of.

4. What’s your favorite SPECIAL ABILITY?
Intimidate. Lowers attack right off the bat.

5. What’s your favorite POKEBALL?
Pokeball. The idea of catching legendaries in a Pokeball is too cool.

6. What’s your favorite BERRY?
Lum. It heals all status effects.

7. What's your favorite ITEM?
EXP Share. My most used item

8. What's your favorite STATUS AILMENT?
Freeze. Makes it easier to catch Pokemon.

9. What's your favorite piece of GAME MUSIC?
Lavender Town. Use to creep me out as a kid.

1. What’s your favorite TYPE?
It's honestly a toss-up between Psychic and Dragon.

2. What's your favorite STAT?
Special Attack. Hardly anyone in Gen V has good special defense. Great for OHKO.

3. What’s your favorite ATTACK?
I'm partial to Psycho Cut. Probably because of Gallade.

4. What’s your favorite SPECIAL ABILITY?
Simple. Simple + Swords Dancing Gallade = PWNAGE.

5. What’s your favorite POKEBALL?
Great Ball. If I could catch every Pokemon in a Great Ball I'd be happy for life.

6. What’s your favorite BERRY?
Hondew. It just sounds tasty.

7. What's your favorite ITEM?
Scope Lense. Give it to a Pokemon with two moves that hit in the second tier critical hit range and you've got good odds.

8. What's your favorite STATUS AILMENT?
Badly Poisoned. Toxic ftw.

9. What's your favorite piece of GAME MUSIC?
Victory Road from Gen III was probably the most hard-core I've ever heard. Undella Town in Autumn/Winter/Spring has a weird thing of nostalgia to me.

9. What's your favorite piece of GAME MUSIC?

I'm a fan of the in-battle idle animations in B/W. Makes it seem more battle-y.
