[PokeTimmy]

Topics include:

1. What’s your favorite TYPE?
I've always liked the look of the dragon type, but they just seem so fragile to ice attacks - and it seems like every water type has a strong ice move these days. So I'm going to say Ground or Dark.

2. What's your favorite STAT?
HP and the Defenses. I absolutely love a pokemon that can take a lot of hits.

3. What’s your favorite MOVE?
Hmmmm...Earthquake is one of my favorites for battling. Also, I've recently played through Platinum and Giratina's Shadow Force is really really cool in my opinion.

4. What’s your favorite SPECIAL ABILITY?
I've always been a fan of abilities that cause burning/paralysis/poisoning if the foe touches your pokemon (Flame Body, Poison Point, etc.)

Natural Cure is also pretty cool.

5. What’s your favorite POKEBALL?
Pokeballs will always be my favorite, even though their usefulness usually runs its course once your a day or two into the game.

6. What’s your favorite BERRY?
I still haven't gotten into the whole "Berry" thing - I just can't figure it out.

7. What's your favorite ITEM?
The Bicycle - up until you get the bicycle, the gameplay feels soooo slooooow

8. What's your favorite STATUS AILMENT?
I enjoy freezing opponents since they are basically helpless.

9. What's your favorite piece of GAME MUSIC?
Recently, I enjoyed the music from B/W when you are walking up the badge-check route, unlocking the gates on the way to the elite four. The music on that route gets you pumped up.

10. What's your favorite example of GRAPHICS in a Pokemon game?
I really like the graphics in the Dreamworld - I feel like they nailed the depictions of pokemon more than any game has yet.
