This is a really interesting article detailing the animation processes of the current Pokemon Anime and reflection on their past animation styles. <3

I started playing Pokemon when I was like 3 so I have a love for it, there was a time I stopped playing it for a few years(after first black and white) I just started playing them again.
My favorite Pokemon has to be Zekrom (I just love his design and typing) or Dragonite (a cute little dragon capable of annihilating all in it’s path.)
I can’t choose a favorite game because Pokemon Crystal and Pokemon White are both amazing.
My favorite generation is 5th (Pokemon white)
My favorite starter is either Cyndiquil or Snivy.
My dream team would consist of Dragonite, Aracanine, Tyranitar, Lapras, Raichu, and probably Metagross for what I think would be an amazing team.
Since I’ve been out of everything Pokemon and don’t have a 3DS I don’t know what showdown is, nor could I play it.
I’m in the middle of a play through in Pokemon Glazed which is actually a really fun fan project.
I probably would be hyped for Sun & Moon if I had a 3DS so I’ll probably just watch a play through on youtube.
I’ve just started a Nuzlock for the first time on Crystal and I’m loving it so far.
It’s november which meansssss
Sun&Moon hype!
I already got my Litten plushie from GameStop for my birthday on Friday!

I beat the main story of Moon the other day!
I clocked in about 40ish hours give or take attempts for SOS battles. They’re a pain. x-x
I really liked it~ Though I never did change my clothes, I was just fine the way my avatar was and also the clothes didn’t really appeal to me OOPS.
Ash-Greninja really saved my butt a lot, I love my frog and gosh my Wrestler Bara Cat <33 It was fun using the Z-moves especially Pikachu’s and Incineroar’s.
I’ll be taking it slow now also participating in that Global Link mission thing. Slowly catching all the Pokemon… slowly…
Hey, Rika,
I’ve heard that they’re supposedly making a third game for SuMo called Pokemon Stars that seems to be along the lines of being a different storyline. Do you know if that’s true or not?
Yo!
I’ve heard that as well, that it also might be for the Switch, but nothing is in stone yet soo who knows right now.

Ooh, a Pokémon topic! So first, all those questions:
What is your favorite Pokémon and why?
I usually answer ‘Pikachu’ to this question but to be honest, that’s kinda just to have an answer nowadays. And thinking about it again is a daunting task, what with 801 Pokémon now existing.
What is your favorite main series or spin-off game?
For main series, Pokémon Sun and Moon, the story blew me away.
For spin-off, I actually quite enjoyed watching TV with Pikachu, also known as Pokémon Channel, but that’s not my favorite. My favorite would be Pokémon XD, with Coliseum being the close second. Also, Mirror B (and his themes) from those games is the best character. Another spin-off game I like to come back to is the Pokémon Trading Card game for the GBC.
What is your favorite generation and why?
I don’t really favor one gen’s Pokémon over the other, I can only say it’s not gen 5, but only because I didn’t play Pokémon during that generation and thus have not a huge connection to it.
What is your favorite starter?
Greninja, because Ninjas are cool. Maybe we get a pirate starter at some point for the ultimate showdown 
dream team and Pokémon Showdown
I’m not really a competitive player. Only thing I did was copy one team in gen 6 from a video introducing people into the competitive scene, and all that time spend breeding is just too much time investment and too dull gameplay for my liking.
Have you played any fan games?
I read Let’s Plays of both moemon leafgreen and touhoumon, does that count? And I also played other monster collect type of games.
Are you hyped for gen 7?
Well, I liked gen 7, but there’s also a few things I don’t like about it, mainly that grinding to level 100 is very tedious and that there isn’t (yet?) a national dex.
Do you nickname your Pokémon?
I started to nickname every Legendary I caught myself and planned on keeping starting from gen 6 and am usually trying to come up with general themes for legendaries of the same group (i.e. naming the lake trio after another trio, in this case the three goddesses from Zelda lore). Thanks to that, I often ask my mom if she can nickname spare Legendaries only she can get and can give away to me. Otherwise, I’m a purist and don’t really nickname any other Pokémon most of the time.
Pokémon Go?
I’m way too lazy to actually go out to collect Pokémon if I can do the same thing with the main games, so I’m not playing Pokémon Go.
EDIT:
So I’m finally continuing my Pokémon Platin playthrough, mainly to get some legendaries over to the most recent generation (gen 4 to gen 5 is still possible, right?) and I ventured into this game’s game corner/casino/arcade. Which was censored in the German version because it would otherwise go against child safety (because it would promote gambling). Coins are still a thing in that game, you just find some randomly by checking the slot machines. Or buying them outright.
That got me to thinking: In which countries was that stuff censored as well and when did Nintendo start to just get rid of game corners and casinos and the like in general? I mean, I faintly remember that Heartgold/Soulsilver had Voltorb Flip as an alternative, but what did the gen 5 games do? As I stopped playing Pokémon during that generation, I don’t know myself.

Hi. I’m new here of course but this seems like a good topic for me to post in,. I’ve been a fan of this franchise for quite some time.
I can’t answer most of the questions, but I might edit some of my favorite pokemon in later.
I would be willing to play showdown with people. I have not played any fangames.
I was incredibly hyped for Gen VII. The air’s out of the balloon now but I had a very good time with Sun for the most part.

ULTRA SUN AND MOON THIS MONTH 
Though the real reason I’m posting is because I went to see movie 20 in theatres today!
It was pretty good though my only gripe was the OST. The dub replaced all but one of the original for the movie. Now the opening and ending themes are automatically replaced no matter what, but welp. It was really jarring and obvious when said track was transitioned into. Doesn’t help that I own the OST which is filled with remixes of iconic early anime themes.
Even so, I still highly recommend people to see this movie.
Definitely preordering the bluray that’s coming out next month.

What is your favorite Pokemon and why? Aegislash. Not only does it satisfy my fascination and appreciation with all manner of blades, Aegislash is simply an extremely godly Pokemon with King’s Shield. I remember soloing Pokemon X with it, and I want to try that with other games as well. Kartana is my next favorite for the same reasons, but it’s not as broken.
What is your favorite main series or spin-off game? Pokemon Sun, easily. Bright, shining colors in a tropical region and a heavy emphasis on plot make it a great game for me. It’s made even better by the steep but fair level curve, making every fight tense and thrilling as I try to formulate strategies instead of relying on super effective moves as I have since I was a child.
What is your favorite generation and why? Generation 7 by a long shot, mostly for the removal of HMs.
What is your favorite starter? Feraligatr. It has access to Ice Punch and Earthquake, immediately nullifying it’s weaknesses while also looking like a monstrous beast, which I can’t get enough of in Pokemon.
What is your dream team? I solo games as much as possible, but if forced to make a team it’d be Aegislash, Gardevoir, Salazzle, Lapras, Skarmory, and Garchomp.
Would you like to play with others on pokemon showdown? Maybe, though I’m far from a competitive battler.
Have you played any fan games? Right now I’m playing through Pokemon Insurgence, my only fan game so far.
Are you hyped for gen 7? Ultra Sun and Moon, yes. 
What is your favorite Pokemon and why?
Gengar, since I played gen 1. Despite being a spooky ghost pokemon, the shadow beast also has a playful side, always laughing with the other ghosts.
What is your favorite main series or spin-off game?
G/S/C. Gen 2 is my absolute favorite and the one I played the most. My best team when I was a kid was on crystal, and my friends and I made huge battle competitions at school.
What is your favorite generation and why?
Gen I. Nostalgia at its best
What is your favorite starter?
Its a tough competition between Charizard and Delphox, but the giant lizard wins out.
What is your dream team?
This is tough. Just going for personal preference and not competitive stats: Gengar, Kingdra, Gardevoir, Lucario, Altaria, Houndoom.
Would you like to play with others on pokemon showdown?
Not interested in competitive.
Have you played any fan games?
Not yet.
Are you hyped for gen 7?
For USUM, very much!
