Fire is my favorite, but I always have a mix of types in my Pokemon team.

I didn't used to give my Pokemon nicknames, but since I read the Pokemon manga, I have this compulsion to nickname them now. I usually take a small piece of their name, type, or appearance, and put -chan after it. For example, this is my team in SS:

Pidgeot: Pi-chan

Swampert: Mud-chan

Typhlosion: Ty-chan

Jynx: Icy-chan

Sceptile: Leaf-chan

Ampharos: Light-chan

The only real complaint I have about the newer Pokemon games is the repetitive Fire starters, and the outright laziness on the art of some of the Pokemon. 3rd gen, 4th Gen, and 5th Gen all have fire starters that are Fire-Fighting. Fire is my favorite type, so having three fire starters in a row of the same type is obnoxious and lazy. Also, a few of the Pokemon in 5th gen (e.g. Garbador) are very lazily drawn and are almost an insult to bad*** looking Pokemon like Charizard and Swampert.

Other than those couple of things, I think 4th and 5th gen made several great improvements, like making all TMs last forever and making the Elite Four improve after you beat them the first time.

This isn't really a contest. Ash is an imbecile who captures and raises these awesome Pokemon and then lets them go. He's never completed the Pokemon league, and he has difficulty keeping 2 idiotic team rocket members at bay. Whereas Red captured the entire Safari Zone by himself, kicked the crap out of the elite four, and took out all of team rocket single-handedly. If they came face to face, Red would curb stomp Ash.

I've played them all except diamond, pearl, platinum, and the blacks and whites. I think Soul Silver/Heart Gold are my favorites. When Gold, Silver, and Crystal came out, I felt they were severely lacking in extra optional activities. You also couldn't capture any of the legendaries from R/B/Y. SS/HG, improved on, and fixed all of the problems G/S/C had. Second Gen has always been my favorite Generation, so I was extremely happy with the improvements.

I've always been torn between Espeon and Umbreon. Espeon has extremely high special attack, so it can easily one-shot several opponents. Umbreon, however, is a tank with ultra high defense and special defense, so it's really hard to faint it. My level 100 Swampert can't one shot Karen's Umbreon, so the thing is pretty tough.

"Dan Green" because that's the name of the guy who voices him in the anime. XD

Fire is my favorite Pokemon type, and since Cyndaquil, Quilava, and Typhlosion are pure fire, they are my favorite.

Well I'd like for them to boot Lucario and Ike and bring back Roy and Mewtwo. Also, since they've used Solid Snake, who is a Konami character, they could possibly bring in one of the main characters from Castlevania or maybe Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2. I'd love to see what Pyramid Head's final smash would be.

I've always thought the Hammer Bros were obnoxious little butt holes. Their spammy hammers were enough to drive me nuts.

I like all of the Legend of Zelda games, but my favorite is Skyward Sword. The style of game play and the story are both really great. However, the best part about the game is the artwork. Instead of using only CGI, the game's backgrounds and such were beautifully painted with water colors. Pretty gutsy move on Nintendo's part, and it came out amazing.

This is my friend Jayme. She started out at 190 lbs and a size 14, now she's 135 and a size 2. Sorry, but I don't know the UK measurements to put them on here. The point I'm trying to make with this is she is a wonderful inspiration and she is trying really hard to help out as many people as she can with their weight loss. She has several videos on Youtube under her full name Jayme Bales in which she does some excellent workout videos that a few of my friends use. So you may ask, why are you telling me all this? Well, I was really inspired by Jayme and I lost a lot of my weight because I was trying to look like her. I haven't been successful yet, but I don't think I could have made it this far if it weren't for her. Jayme is trying really hard to get her name out there because her dream is to become a fitness instructor. So, if you could, please check her out. Tell your friends about her. She is really a fabulous person who worked really hard for what she has. Here are links/usernames to her youtube channel, her twitter, her facebook, her tumbler, and her instagram. I will also include the weight loss site that I met Jayme on in case anyone is interested. Thanks vizzed!

I moved out of my parents' house about half-way through my freshman year of college. I was still 18 at that point. My fiance, luckily, has a good job so I was able to move out of my parents' house early.

I'm 5'8". I'm told that I'm tall for a girl, but my little sisters have either caught up to me in height or are almost as tall as me. They still have a lot more years of growing to do, too. I'm going to be a midget compared to them once they grow up.

My University has a weight room, but I won't go because the guys in there laugh at any unpopular or not athletic girls who try to lift weights.

I'm about 5'8" and, last I checked, I weigh 169. I'm on a weight loss kick right now and I'm hoping with enough healthy food and exercise I can make it down to 135.

CC23 : There is already a thread just like this one in the Video Game Franchise section of vizzed. If you are truly curious as to which is the most popular, you can look at that thread to find out. I'm afraid I'll have to call a mod to close this since it's a copy thread.

thenumberone : Dupe thread here.

I really like what you were trying to do with this poem, but may I offer a bit of constructive criticism? I won't be mean I promise.

I see that you are releasing your dark side in poem form and that's awesome because I do that too. However, there are a few things I'd like to suggest for this piece. First of all, don't try so hard to rhyme. A poem doesn't have to rhyme for it to be good. In fact, most of the really famous poetry doesn't rhyme at all. I typically avoid rhyming when I write because often times when I try to rhyme I will wind up using words that don't work well with the flow of the poem. I see a lot of that in this poem. For example:

It's gotten to the point he dreads the most
Fate and destiny, both as real as ghosts.

Ghosts feels like it's thrown in there simply to satisfy the rhyme. In poetry, you try to get across as much as possible with as few words as possible, so having extra words that serve no purpose other than to rhyme defeats the purpose of a poem.

Sorry if I sounded too critical. I've been taking several creative writing classes at my college and I've learned a lot from them, so I wanted to share the knowledge.

I'm a sucker for tragic love stories so I'm going to go with Claire Redfield and Steve Burnside from Resident Evil: Code Veronica. That's one love story that made me cry a little.
