Day 1: What is your first memory of Pokémon?
I honestly doesn't have any fully accurate first memory of Pokémon. It could be either the anime or Pokémon Stadium, one of the N64 games I had as a child.
Day 2: What was your first experience with a shiny Pokémon?
My first Shiny I ever found was a Litwick when I learned about EV training, a few time after I learned about Shiny Pokémon and how rare they are. I learned how Volcarona was good in competitive playing and I tried to EV train a Larvesta, the one obtained from the man on Route 18, but I was a noob and I didn't care about natures, IVs, and abilities. I given the Exp. Share to Larvesta because I was unable to beat any Litwick with my Larvesta.
A Litwick with a light blue flame appeared and, even if I didn't know Litwick's Shiny form at this time, I recognised it immediatly as a Shiny. I used an Ultra Ball without weakening it and it was caught. I EV trained it and I evolved it into Chandelure. I now regret it to having evolved it because I actually prefer Litwick's Shiny form over Chandelure's and because it has somewhat poor IVs.
Day 3: How close have you come to "catching 'em all"?
That was in my Ruby version. My cousin had a Sapphire version and together we tried to complete Hoenn Pokédex with trades. I missed a few mons (maybe 5 of them) but my cousin completed Hoenn Pokédex. Now I don't care about "catching 'em all" when playing my games.
Day 4: What was your first level 100 Pokémon?
That was a Sceptile in my Ruby version when I was a child. It was my starter and the leader of my team that also included Groudon, Altaria, Seviper (traded from Sapphire), Ludicolo (also traded), and one other I can't remerber, maybe Magneton. Obviously at this time I didn't care about natures (I didn't evew knew their influence on stats) and I didn't knew IVs and EVs. None of the other membres in my team reached level 100, and this Sceptile currently doesn't exist because I deleted this save file.
Now when I want to rase a Pokémon to level 100 I just use Join Avenue, it's fast but It's very costly.
Day 5: What is your favorite Pokémon and why?
Maybe it will change in gen 6 but for now it is Terrakion. I loved him since I discovered gen V and I love his design and concept, even his name sounds awesome. He looks like an african buffalo and looks inspired by rhinoceros with his corpulency and rocky-looking skin. This is an awesome way to represent Prothos from The Three Musketeers, a perfect design for a Rock/Fighting typing, and he looks freaking manly. That may be odd, but he also reminds me Ganondorf from The Legend of Zelda (while Cobalion reminds me Link and Virizion reminds me Zelda). I love using him in competitive battling, the Sash Stealth Rock being my personnal favourite set, and finally his Shiny form looks amazing.
Honorable mention to Magnemite for its sheer cuteness :)
Day 6: Which Pokémon rumors did you believe when you were younger?
At first I believed Legendary Pokémon where absolutely impossible to catch even with a Master Ball, but I discovered my cousin's Sapphire version where he had several Kyogre in a PC box (he traded them to his sister's FireRed Version, and restarted the game to get another Kyogre, etc.). All of them where caught with an Ultra Ball, except one of them caught with a Great Ball. I was shocked.
After that, I tried to catch Groudon and the legendary Golems. I believed the rumor saying than pressing A and down buttons at the same time increased the capture probability and I believed legendary Pokémon where impossible to catch without using this trick.
I also wondered how to get Deoxys, the missing Pokémon to complete Hoenn Pokédex (I didn't know Jirachi at this time), and I believed the rumor saying that it is available after completely beating the game and having four stars on Trainer Card. I was shocked when I discovered later than the only way to get it legitimately is an official Nintendo event.
Day 7: Which aspect of XY are you looking forward to the most?
Probably seing Pokémon into 3D models and new battle animations. Finally we will have really dynamic battles with good graphics, battles and animations will not be as bad-looking as gen V, where a lot of sprites has stupid animations (a lot of them actually look like they dance) and battles are ugly (pixelized Pokémon sprites and move animations). I have a lot of Shiny Pokémon in my gen V games and I want to see them in 3D. I am excited about 3D visual effets and it is the reason why I'll try to get an actual 3DS and not a 2DS even if the later is cheaper.
Even if I didn't liked the concept when it was at first revealed, I'm really excited about Mega Evolutions. I'm finally fine with all Mega Evolutions designs revealed so far (except Mega Blastoise, these shells on its arms suck, and Mewtwo X whose toes look very ugly), because they give new strategic options for competitive playing and I think it is better than regular evolutions (like a lot of them we got in gen IV) to make old Pokémon stronger. I'm also excited about starting a fresh new competitive metagame, I'll try to really go to competitive Pokémo gaming this gen and I'm really curious to see new strategies in a emerging metagame. Finally, I'm also excited by new Gen VI Pokémon because none of the currently revealed gen VI Pokémon look terrible IMO, I really want to see new concepts and type combinations. But if I had ONE aspect to choose, it would be the new battle graphic style, as described in the previous paragraph.
Day 8: What are your Pokémon "quirks"?
I avoid rustling grass as many as possible and I hide my screen each time an Audino appears because I hate Audino so much. I hate when this thing appears on my screen, it looks disgusting for me.
I also avoid as many as possible international breeding because I don't like when I get a Shiny Pokémon that doesn't come from a 1/8192 probability. If I absolutely want to breed a Pokémon got on the GTS (for species or egg moves, for example), I first try to get a compatible partner on the GTS that comes from the same country.
Day 9: What is your favorite region and why?
I didn't played gen II and IV games and I barely played GS remakes so I cannot choose Johto or Sinnoh. Between Kanto, Hoenn and Unova, I would choose Hoenn for the sheer diversity of landscapes and places, whit some of them impossible to see in any official game other than RSE like a route covered of ashes, a village above trees or an icy cave with regular tides.
