POKEMON 20TH ANN. CHALLENGE -MANIACAL LAUGHTER- (UPDATED)
Cacnea's Pokémon 20th Anniversary 27-Day Challenge!

Update: It's been brought to my attention that I've missed an entry on here and I noticed I want to update some of my answers, just expand on them.

I AM SO LATE TO THIS. That's not going to stop me, though! I had a lot of stuff going on but LET'S IGNORE ALL THAT s**t FOR A MY MASTER POST POKEMON HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahaha......
Why, yes, I am ******** insane.

Feb 1st. — What is your earliest Pokémon memory? Describe whatever comes to mind, and go into detail about your first initial feelings regarding it.
I've mentioned this before in my journal. My first memory is my sister playing blue. My brother had Red first but I was closer to my sister, so when my sister was sitting in the living room playing the Brick Gameboy with intense focus. I joined her on the couch and saw her using Wartortle. (She had played it a significant bit before I actually had the guts to go up to her ask what she was playing) This was my first exposure to pokemon. I was 6 years old. I think. Either way I was hooked. I begged my sister to let me play and she explained that I could play, but I couldn't save (And if I did save, she would kill me, we were a loving family) Hell, I was six I had no goddamn idea what the hell saving was. So the batteries I had were all I got, I had to get as far as I could on my own. And my life was forever in shambles.

Feb 2nd. — Talk about your current favorite Pokémon game. Maybe the one that has the most hours clocked in on it… and why it's significant to you.
Pokemon Y! I love, love, love, love, LOVE gen VI. I don't know what it is about the Y that I love so much. The visuals are beautiful. The music is some of my favorite on a game soundtrack. Greninja is one of my favorite starters. Seeing all the pokemon for the first time in 3D. Seeing my babies for the first time in 3D and interacting with them was my dream. It really felt like they were WITH me. Oddly enough, I have another game that has more hours on it. That is Pokemon Diamond. I have 411 hours clocked in. While Pokemon Y only has 369 hours. Yay? I mixed up my games! The game with 369 hours is Pokemon White. Pokemon Diamond has 411 hours, so that was right. but Pokemon Y has, get ready for it, 549 HOURS. FIVE HUNDRED. How did I mix that s**t up?

Feb 3rd. — Describe your Pokémon gameplay. How do you play the Pokémon games? How do you choose your Pokémon team? Have you ever done a nuzlocke? Do you play through it quickly? Do you use EXP Share or train your team? Do you nickname your Pokémon, etc.
Let's go in ORDER.
I play the pokemon games by ******** wrecking the main story line with my one starter pokemon. My team is chosen by my favorites at the time. I spend little time actually going for stats in the beginning. I also like to catch every pokemon I come across. I did a nuzlocke once when I played Pokemon White. I did fairly, but I lost a lot of my favorite pokemon. I blaze through the games and I SHOULDN'T. I've been wanting to play pokemon Y again but I REFUSE to restart the file I have now. I use the s**t out of EXP Share to a certain extent. I train my favorite pokemon myself. EVERY POKEMON I HAVE IS NICKNAMED. IF THEY ARE NOT NICKNAMED. I GET UPSET.

Feb. 4th — Music can be powerful, but Pokémon music can be even more powerful! Let's take this day to let our followers know what your favorite Pokémon tunes are. It could be from the anime, the games, and/or the movies. Maybe even include links in this post!
All the links go to Youtube!
Battle! (R/G/B)
Pallet Town (4 Generations)
Pokemon Center (Pokemon X & Y)
Jubilife City
Route 209 (Diamond and Pearl)
Goldenrod City
Battle! Mewtwo
Battle! Yveltal/Xerneas
Snowbelle City
Anistar City
Professor Sycamore's Theme
The last two are pretty much my all time favorite. I could listen to the Anistar City theme all day and never get tired. The professors theme I find almost doesn't belong in a pokemon game. It's so fantastically composed and happy and genuine. It's so good it makes me upset.

Feb. 5th — Not to create "gen wars" but out of the 6 current regions, please rank your regions from most favorite to least favorite. Why is that region your #1?
#1 - Gen 1 Kanto
#2 - Gen 6 Kalos
#3 - Gen 4 Sinnoh
#4 - Gen 2 Johto
#5 - Gen 3 Hoenn
#6 - Gen 5 Unova
I really like Gen 1. It's what started it all! Also there's Blastoise and Arcanine and I mean like they're my faves. There's also Sandshrew, Rapidash, The Legendary Birds and Mew and they're my original team... Well, not mew. On the other hand, I think Kalos has some of my favorites just by virtue. I love the designs of Hawlucha and Goodra. I also will kill for a Shiny Froakie.

Feb. 6th — Legendary day! What are your top 3 Legendary Pokémon designs and concepts? And ultimately, which one is your favorite legendary? Why?
TOP LEGENDARIES? HELL YEAH!
Mew
Xerneas
Yveltal

Yveltal is number one. I love something about his design and that red and black and that he's supposed to bring this great apocalypse and is a murder machine and you go into pokemon amie and he's a wittle baby bird. Also his shiny form is phenomenal. That red and white scheme is just all up in my alley. I would also kill shiny yveltal because homg.

Feb. 7th — Let's talk about Pokémon types. What is your favorite type? Top 5 Pokémon from that typing? What is that one type of Pokémon you can't stand (least favorite) and why?
******** Yeah! Fire Types!
Arcanine!
Rapidash!
Moltres!
Entei!
Houndoom! (Almost doesn't count)
I...I love them all....
SO MY SECOND FAV IS WATER TYPES. YEAH.
Okay, on the one side, not a huge of ground types. I dunno why I'm just impartial to them.

Feb. 8th — You've automatically been transported to the Kanto region on this day! Talk about what city/town you'd live in Kanto, and what are some of the first things you'd do in the Kanto region?
Vermillion City! I REALLY like port towns. I'd probably rob a fishing rod from someone and go fishing hahahaha. Alternatively, straight to ******** Celadon and dat game corner. ******** y'all.
I've noticed my aggression and will hopefully calm the ******** down.

Feb. 9th —What is one NEW Pokémon type you'd like to see in the future? Describe a Fakemon of that type you'd also create for the future to include into the World of Pokémon.
I always thought it was strange that there were no Light Types since there was a Dark type. Though it seems that Fairy type has filled that spot in a different way. Though I wish that there was Fossil type, I mean there are enough for the category.
Also, I'm not that original.
An Energy type pokemon came up on my radar and I think that would be pretty neat.

Feb. 10th — What was your FIRST ever starter Pokémon? Why did you choose that one? Do you still have them? Which region do you think has the best starter Pokémon, and what is your overall favorite starter?
Squirtle! He was my favorite little turtle and became a very big turtle. hahaha.The best I feel are gen 4, Piplup, Chimchar and Turwing. I've used them all and they're pretty powerful. So I feel that Sinnoh has the best pokemon starters. And I LOVE EMPOLEON.
As for my favorite. Greninja GODDAMMIT GEN VI HAS TAKEN OVER MY LIFE.

Feb. 11th — Boost your ego as a Pokémon Trainer day! Take this day to name (and maybe post pics?) of all shiny Pokémon you've ever caught. Talk about the most difficult shiny you had trouble finding. Also, what Pokémon did you first raise to lvl. 100? How many Pokémon have you raised to lvl. 100? What's the closest you've come to completing your Pokédex?
OKAY. YAS. THIS STUFF. I have my tumblr full of pics but I have 2 Shiny Poliwhirls, 2 Shiny Relicanth's, 1 Shiny Shelmet, 2 Shiny Gabites, 2 Shiny Pansear's, 1 Shiny Charmeleon, 1 Shiny Noivern and a Shiny Ninetails! I have been busy. xD
NINETAILS. WAS. THE. HARDEST.
The first pokemon I raised to level 100 was my Blastoise from FireRed on the GBA. I have 6 level 100. Greninja, Pidgeot, Butterfree, A ditto I've left in the daycare (hahahaha oops), Luxray, Arcanine, Ninetails, and a Regigigas that was a gift. I've got 710 out 719. Planning on picking up the rest of the legendaries throughout this year.

Feb. 12th — What is your saddest Pokémon moment and memory? Did it make you cry? It could be something that happened in real life, or something about games, anime, and storyline.
Ah. Hmm. I mostly have happy memories of pokemon. Even when my old cartridges were corrupted I was cool with it. I think... When I finished everything with Pokemon Y story. I was pretty sad.
A friend reminded me of a time long past when we were using the link cable together. We're talking like... 2001-2002. I was at her house (Isabelle, if your wondering) and we were link battling. It was pretty ******** grand. Only thing is, her grandmother was super christian and was convinced that Pokemon was the devil. She took both our gameboys and scolded us until Isabelle's mom came in and set granny straight. I have very faint memory's of this. It wasn't until she mentioned the few times we used her cousins link cable and I had spent ALL DAY at her place. I do remember crying and screaming at her grandmother that I was more Christian than her (HAHAOOPS AGAIN) but I forgot it was about pokemon. Of all things! We're chill now granny and I, in case you cared.

Feb. 13th — Happy Eeveelution Day! Eevee is "#133" and Eevee is a huge part of the Pokémon World. Please rank the Eeveelutions (including Eevee) from your most favorite to least favorite! What new Eevee typing are you hoping for next? Give a name to that future Eeveelution, too!
#1 - Eevee
#2 - Sylveon
#3 - Flareon
#4 - Umbreon
#5 - Jolteon
#6 - Leafeon
#7 - Vaporean
#8 - Glaceon
#9 - Espeon
I would love a Dragon or Ghost type! Hell, even a steel type would be badass. As for a name. Drackeon would be a cool name. xD Ethpeon for ghost. (STEALTH PUNS) I don't have one for steel. (Flying would be ******** hilarious who's with me.)

Feb. 14th — Happy Valentine's Day! Who is your favorite Pokémon Ship? It could be from the games, manga, or anime! If you don't ship… here's another - if your partner had to propose to you using the tools of Pokémon, how would you want to be proposed to?
Game Serena and Prof Sycamore. Seriously. Not anime Serena because the anime is a piece of s**t and she's like 12. Game protag is canonically 17 SO IT'S LEGAL. This is my ONLY pokemon ship. I fell out of all the other ones. I also ship Lysandre x Serena and Sycamore x Lysandre and Sycamore x Serena x Lysandre. YAAAAY SHIIIPS.

Feb. 15th — Merchandise Day! Post pics of your Pokémon merchandise… how much do you own? What is your most prized Pokémon merch? What's the story behind it? If you don't have any, what Pokémon merchandise would you most want?
I have no real pokemon merch besides a Piplup plushie that I got from a crane game. It sounds pathetic but I LOVE THAT LITTLE PLUSH. SCREW YOU.
My brother pointed out to me that I still have the electronic PokeDex from Tiger Electronics from 1998. And a small talking squirtle that's somewhere in the house.

Feb. 16th — Villain day. You've been captured by a Pokémon villain team; they will force you to join their squad. When you awake, which villainous team are you hoping is staring down at you? Rocket, Magma, Aqua, Galactic, Plasma, or Flare? Why? Also, Prepare for Trouble! Who is your favorite Team Rocket TRio member? Jessie, James, or Meowth? Why are they your favorite?
Team Galactic. I don't know why, they were the only group I took seriously. Everyone else was kind of a joke? Like I felt Cyrus was a real villain. Archie and Maxie were adorable and Ghetsis/N were a confusing can of crazy. Giovanni was pretty OP and Lysandre was just, well, FASHIONABLE.
I've always liked Jessie from Team Rocket. She was so cool in her crop top.

Feb. 17th — If you could go back and live one specific Pokémon-related memory… which moment would go back to and why?
The moment my dad bought me a Red Gameboy Advance SP with FireRed. It was a pretty magical moment. I mean. My father never really spoke with me when I was in my preteens. So this was special in that he had made an active decision to get me these items. I still get warm and fuzzy when I remember that.
Also recently my dad tried to get me Pikachu plush when we were at Hyannis mall in Cape Cod. Said it would go great with all the junk in my room and made stupid squeak noises. He meant well.

Feb. 18th — Pokémon Anime Day! "The Lost Lapras" aired this day in Japan 17 years ago! Talk about your favorite Pokémon anime series, and why it's your favorite. Also tell us about your overall favorite Pokémon episode!
The first season! There was a lot to like at the time. It was new and fun. I can't remember the episode, but the episode when Ash had to crossdress to fight a gym leader with the help of team rocket. It still makes me laugh. I can't remember anything else really significant.
The first 3 movies were cool. Got them all on VHS, baby!

Feb. 19th — Creepy Day! The Pokémon World offers many spooky aspects. What is the creepiest Pokémon you can think of? Have you ever had a creepy Pokémon experience in real life or playing the games? What is your favorite creepy Pokémon landmark throughout the regions? (Pokémon Tower, Lavender Town, Kanto | Mt. Pyre, Hoenn | Old Chateau, Sinnoh and Hallowed Tower, Sinnoh | Celestial Tower, Unova | Scary House, Kalos and Lost Hotel, Kalos)
COFAGRIGUS. Dude is creepy as hell. Even Yamask is a creepy. Driflloon's description in the dex is nothing short of nightmare fuel. Nothing significantly creepy ever happened when I played Pokemon. (that happened during other games) and I've always loved Pokemon Tower. It made pokemon feel real with the use of mortality. And I loved the Lavender Town too. It felt like such a great divide from the rest of the game.
Besides all of the creepy s**t in the Chateau's, I kind of wish an event like the one from the original game would come back. From when you fought the ghost. I have a feeling that most people will be experiencing it for the first time in ages.

Feb. 20th — Talk about one of the most difficult moments in the Pokémon games for you. It could be getting through a landmark, a certain gym leader, or a certain part of the plotline. Name as many as you like!
Only one. DEOXYS. THAT ******** WON'T LET ME CATCH HIM. I WILL CATCH HIM ONE DAY. TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY.
Also Primal Kyogre that ******** piece of s**t made me waste a masterball on him because i tried so many times that if he wasn't shiny locked I'd probs have a shiny kyogre. bah.
Oh. THE GODDAMN BATTLE MANSION/CHATEAU/TOWER HATE THAT s**t. ******** I COULD LIVE 100 YEARS AND BE HAPPY IF I NEVER SEE THAT s**t AGAIN.

Feb. 21st — Mega Pokémon! What is your opinion on them? What are some of your current favorite Mega Pokémon and name 5 Pokémon you hope to see have a mega evolution in the future.
I like the mega system! I rarely use it but I love it all the same. There are some fantastic designs in there. Absol, Charizard (X), Lopunny, Gengar and Diancie and Garchomp are my favs.
HANDS ******** DOWN ARCANINE FOR NEW MEGA OMG NOWPLS THX.

Feb. 22nd — Now you've been transported to the Hoenn region! What trainer class are you (gym leader, elite four, bug catcher, breeder, etc.) and what city do you live in? What do you spend your day doing in this region? If you don't want to do Hoenn, you can do any other region.
I'd love to be a ranger in Sootopolis! I really, really like the town. It reminds me a lot of Santorini and I could ******** live there. Once again, I would probably fish the s**t out of my days. Though I would mostly likely be a breeder.

Feb. 23rd — Pokémon are now real. Who is your main Pokémon partner that travels beside you outside its pokéball? Out of all 700+ Pokémon, who are the other 5 that travel in your party with you on your Pokémon journey?
My brother asked me this question earlier this week. Hm.
#1 - Blastoise
#2 - Arcanine
#3 - Luxray
#4 - Honchkrow
#5 - Garchomp
#6 - Pidgeot

I could change this up. Buuut these are in my party now soooo yeah. 5 is too little, ;-;
Alternatively, I'd love:
Absol
Tyranitrum
Starmie
Noivern
Greninja
Zoroark

Feb. 24th — Talk about what Pokémon means to you personally. Elaborate on a few personal stories for your followers about Pokémon's meaning to yourself.
Whoops, I missed this one.
It's hard to talk about Pokemon without talking about my family. I mean, I've played most of them by myself but my brother and I played HeartGold and SoulSilver together, so a lot of bonding was done unintentionally. (Also lots of inappropriate jokes.) I also recently convinced my sister to play Platinum while I re-played White. Even my mom is super interested now I'm catching Shiny Pokemon. She likes to see them and compare them. My mom is a huge pikachu fan. My dad never really gave a s**t about videogames. BUT, remember the Piplup I mentioned earlier? My mom and dad were rooting me on while I played the crane game and I caught Piplup by it's tiny little feet. They like to tell people about.
Pokemon isn't a huge force in my life. I love it, yes. I've bonded over it, absolutely, but other games have made a more tremendous impact on me. Pokemon isn't like that. It's evolving constantly, it means different things to me at different times. When I was young, I hated it because my siblings would always take my gameboy and play for me and I hated that. When I played FireRed, I just wrecked everything I could and beat it that way. When Sapphire came out, not long after my grandfather passed away, I stopped playing for a few years and I never picked Sapphire up again until Alpha. I didn't want to play. I also hated the region. When I turned 17, my sister picked me up Diamond. Then I was back into pokemon again and it continued that way. Though I never picked up B2/W2 because I loved Hilda so much as a main and I hated the designs for the new protags that I put pokemon down again. THEN X AND Y CAME OUT AND JUST ******** ME RIIIIGHT UP.

Feb. 25th — Looking to the future! With Gen 7 quickly approaching the Pokémon horizon, what do you hope to see Gamefreak add or change to the Pokémon main-game series?
They can only expand on the universe and I can't wait to see what they do with Pokemon Sun and Moon! I would LOVE if they keep avatar customization and new gym types. More lore, seeing pokemon in action out of battle. Also flying segments like with Latias could totally make a comeback. Pokemon Amie should stay and maybe new game types to interact with your pokemon! ANYTHING. I DON'T CARE. I LOVE IT.

Feb. 26th — Honestly, how long do you think you'll play and like Pokémon? Talk about Pokémon and your future with it.
Whelp. I'm 25 and I don't see myself stopping so bring on the pokemon GO. (I mean i'm never stopping i'm in this for the long run, let's go ******** choo choo)

Feb. 27th — Happy #PokémonDay! Celebrate this day by playing Pokémon, listening to its music, and looking forward and backwards on your own personal Pokémon journey. Talk about some of the highlights of your Pokémon career and what you hope to accomplish in the future.
OKAY. So I love playing the games. I adore bringing my pokemon up to the recent gens from older games. I have the DSi with the dual slot and all my pokemon from FireRed and Sapphire jumped forward with me.
Recently as I mentioned, finishing the Pokedex in the game and getting the Shiny Charm. I'm ******** proud of this achievement.
Now all I want is a team of Shiny that I can use. I'm getting CLOOOOOSE. Well, I'm not. but I have to admit a shiny Ninetails is another thing I'm super proud of.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.
