I can type this.
My 3rd choice would be Squitle because he's the 1st pokemon I ever had in games, no he's the 1st I actualy ever had because I didn't start collecting cards until I was 7 and stated playin pokemon blue when I was 5.

More saving. More doing.™
My favorite Pokeymanz would probably have to be Psyduck, Keldeo (obviously), Bidoof, and Yanmega.
Psyduck- It's a mental platypus, how can't you like Psyduck?
Keldeo- Keldeo's a beast. Nothin' like a legendary that looks like a My Little Pony.
Bidoof- 96% of people hate Bidoof, I wanna be in the minority
Yanmega- because I feel liek it.

ShinyFeraligatr
Cipher Destroyer
Feraligatr is my favorite because that was the first pokemon I trained to Lvl 100.
pokemon player
Sylveon, tho.
Pikachu and Dewott.
Pikachu because it's so cute and always had a special place in my heart.
Dewott because it looks amazing and the second I saw it I thought that Oshawott wasn't all bad ^_^

Hikari Paradise
Forever Alone
Mewtwo because he is such a vicious pokemon. I also enjoyed his backstory in the movie as it really helped me to sympathize with the character.
Would a Live-Action "Pokemon" Serial Work?
Computer-generated animation seems to have evolved to the point where it doesn't cost the moon to produce it and there's no shortage of people who know how to do it. These improvements can only continue with time. So I've been wondering if, when children who grew up on the games and anime back in the 90s are adults in the media, we'll ever see the games re-adapted into a live action series with CGI pokemon? And what's more, do you think the format would work. Assuming the animation was strong enough to make the pokemon look organic and the budget was high enough to allow for fluid animation and a respectable cast of competent (if not necessarily famous) actors, do you think it would work?
I think that in 24 or so 44-minute episodes, provided the battles are kept fairly brief, you could show a complete journey from starting trainer across the eight gyms, the villain subplot and the championship without it feeling too rushed or having to drop anything too substantial from the games. Then do a different region with each season, adapting each series of games. There's five years worth of storylines already right there!
One thing I think would have to change: having 10-year-old protagonists. This wouldn't work in live action at all. I say it would be better to have leads who are 15 or so at least.
Also, while I don't think they should be gratuitous about it, they should at least make the show somewhat darker than the anime (more akin to the Manga in tone) with more mature subject matter.
Do you think a live-action serial would attract new fans and more respect to the franchise? Or do you think it would wind up trying to do too much and not satisfying anybody?

I think they should make it a little darker, but still appropriate for kids. It would get new fans, and kids would still be happy.

Pose as a team
nope, itd end up like the last air bender, completely rushing to get to the next area and compressed as hell to the point its just "we did this, then that
plus theyd never know what to do with the pokemon.

Why so much emphasis on CGI?
You could implement all of these "darker" changes in normal animation. The thing with CGI is that it's constantly being overwritten with newer and better graphics where as traditional animation has staying power. Nobody says, "Wow! The first season of pokemon was good, but it had terrible graphics compared to today!"
It just doesn't makes sense to take a medium that has existed so well within its form for so long and move it to a relatively new, and IMO, inferior form of entertainment.

Mine would have to be Hydreigon, despite the fact that you misspelled it. Oh well.
Anyway, it has an awesome unique typing, a good movepool, and a great design overall.

It might work, but it probably wouldn't. They HAVE to make it darker, and more mature. While the anime is good, it's definitely aimed at younger audiences. They need to make the story better, make the episodes tie into each other. Look at Doctor Who. They have more than two seasons follow the same basic storylines, introducing new mysteries each episode, and keeping the suspense perfectly.
Traveling Trainers: A Survey
Not by Passerby Analytics though I wouldn't put it past them.
As you may or may not know, there are two MAJOR fanboy hotspots ready to get started! They are ANIME EXPO and SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON.
For those who own a 3DS there is a question I'd put out for all of you:
C-GEAR (Black and White) or STREET PASS (3D Pokedex and various 3DS minigames)?
You can't use both at the same time so which do you wish to try the majority of the time? Or do you think you'd have success with both?
Me? I can't wait to get into the Dealers Hall with Streetpass myself. I wanna finish my pokedex!
Sidenote: The Dragon Quest 9 maps event was a total success!.
So tell me which you would prefer if you go to conventions and such?

SpotPass, but only b/c I can do more things w/ that than C-Gear. I see the advantages of both though.
