Contrary to what everyone else has done, i named my rival "Oak", thinking Prof. Oak would've been arrested ( who was in the lab). I plan on not doing that again.
Oh, that is EPIC. xD I almost wish they programmed the game to have some amusing response to trying to name your rival the same as other main characters. Heh.
Anyway....My resolutions:
1. I will NOT name my rival Dameon after that guy in pokemon who abandoned his charmander...
2. I Will totally train my togepi. Metronome is fun, and Togekiss = WIN. Assuming its in the game. If its not, I will cry.
3. I Will not do a lazy game where I only raise my starter and wipe out everything in my path.
4. I can't name exactly what I'll have on my team, since I don't know what will be available in game(and I don't have wi-fi access, soooo....), but I can say it'll be thought out, but I will choose personal preferences over strength-to an extent.
I need to be able to beat the darn GAME after all.
5. I will not wander around with no pokeballs, and then run into a shiny phanphy....T_T (That is the ONLY shiny, other than the Red Garyados, I have ever seen...well, and the egg given away in Crystal. But that also doesn't count.)
6. I now have a better understanding of movesets...so my Typholosion will not have flame wheel and flamethrower both, 'in case I run out of PP'....
7. I've never EV trained before, and I don't plan to now. I don't battle with other people, so it just doesn't matter to me. Like I said, no wi-fi. xD
That's all I can think of at the moment...
