1. No of course not! Because ketchup is a sauce we don't put our salads in a blender and dip our fries in it. I'd say ketchup is more like a tomato smoothie if anything...
2. Uhhh idk about deepest darkest secret but there was this time in first grade where I was CONVINCED that my teacher wasn't teaching how to tell time correctly and it bothered me so much that I insisted for like 10 minutes straight that my teacher and entire class were wrong and I was right and the teacher ended up getting so mad that she yelled in my face that she was going to send me to the principal's office if I didn't apologize in front of the class and say I was wrong. Despite my stubbornness, I was a fairly timid shy kid so that scarred me for years of my childhood
3. I don't drink much sorry :[
4. 1. Rin Tohsaka 2. Kurisu Makise 3. Yukino Yukinoshita honorable mentions include Shouko Nishimiya, Isuzu Sento, and Holo (NO THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME A FURRY)
5. He doesn't look real to me! Actually, i'm looking at pictures of him on Google images right now and he's really creepy ngl... Not sure why I enjoyed him so much as a kid
6. This upcoming spring season is gonna be fantastic. I'm excited for Re:Zero season 2, Kaguya season 2, Tower of God, the Made in Abyss movie, and Attack on Titan final season. But if i had to choose it would be Oregairu season 3 because I really enjoyed the first two seasons and this is going to be the conclusion to the story. A sleeper pick i'm excited about is Komi san Can't Communicate because the manga is fun and cute
7. Um... I can't say i'm that knowledgable on the subject i'm going to pretend pot is a performance enhancing drug for mons because I have seen several people play tournament games while high and make some fire plays
8. Castle On The Hill I like nostalgic ballads like that and it wasn't overplayed on the pop radio stations around here. My roommate really enjoyed constantly playing Ed Sheeran and soulfully singing along so three years of that was enough to almost completely destroy my love for Ed's stuff but thankfully I still really enjoy that song
9. If we're speaking practically here Joel Embiid is over 7 feet and is 250 pounds. Viv is tall but not that big so I trust my chances against Viv more than the giant that is Joel. I also know that Viv smells like hotdog water so he probably tastes similar which isn't necessarily a bad flavor so I would munch on Viv first while talking to my basketball idol about the sport... Sorry Viv but I bet he would do the same if he could talk to Westbrook while eating me
10. It's been a bit probably sometime last fall when I was driving home from Ohio I couldn't even tell you what I got
11. My favorite is 1. Deoxys-S it's simple and cute and the background doesn't distract. Second fav is 3. Shuckle the title makes me laugh and the the horrific bright red Comic Sans font works here even though it bothers me immensely. Third fav is 2. Lando-T I think the art shows all that needs to be seen regarding why we were suspecting the mon but there is so much going on in the background that I can't focus on the Lando's very well and I wanted to see the mega stones in there as well. Fourth is 4. Eternatus I still think it's nice and the caption is great but from a design perspective, you have a real photograph as the background, a gen 8 in-game Wooloo sprite, and then a pixelated gen 8 Etern sprite it's just too much variance. I like them all because they do what they're meant to do and are genuinely fun to interact with but since you asked me for critiques I feel obliged to mention what I feel is working the best and the worst. In terms of improvements for solid design, I think sticking to simple backgrounds and then having fun with the caption and drawing out the mon or material you're working with. Either that or combining images of similar styles and such. Honestly have fun with it the last thing I want people thinking of me is that i'm some snobby designer pointing out all of the flaws in other people's stuff if it isn't perfect
12. Gengar I think smoking with Gengar would look sick and I like Gengar simple as that
13. Is this English?
14. I'm not sure one theory I have is that he is a very light person who doesn't break the water's surface similar to a Water Strider. But sometimes if he eats too much he gets a bit too fat to skate on the water's surface so he breaks through and swims. Then the loss of calories from swimming makes him shed the weight he picked up and he's able to walk on water again!
15. owo is fun I think it's a cute way for people to connect that avoids some of the annoying formalities of the whole "hi," "how are you" drill
16. I didn't watch much tv as a super young child but I remember my cousins introducing me to Avatar when I was in my early to mid teens and absolutely loving it
17. I can't tell if this is a serious or sarcastic question but in America everyone who goes by Andy or Drew is named Andrew they just prefer the nickname. I'm used to being called Andrew by people I know irl but my showdown username was "Andyboy500" so people just naturally transitioned to calling me Andy when speaking to me on discord and such so I just never felt it was important to mention my full name. A lot of people have the name as well so it's less confusing this way

Hey
1. I got into MnM because I was an Ubers player in gen 6 and some of gen 7 so it appealed to me as an Ubers-based metagame. I took a break from Pokemon for a while and when I decided to pick it back up my buddy
M'joe'ra said he was playing MnM and I should play that with him instead of Ubers so he passed me a Z-Splash Solagleo webs team, I spammed ladder with it, met Stresh and Chazm, and the rest is history. MnM is a meta with a ton of possibilities per turn. The ability to change a mon's typing, ability, and base stats at the beginning of any turn is extremely volatile. A ton of games revolve around your ability to set up your resources and lure your opponent with your tools while maneuvering around their resources and tools. It shares a lot of elements with other OMs like AAA and BH but no other core OM combines all of the possibilities and implications of a single turn like MnM does that's what I feel it has to offer
2. Because it's busted!! God that mon is horrible to prepare for and face... In Gen 7 Lunala was the sole offensive Ghost in the meta. Dark-types are trash because of how amazing Altarianite and Magearna were and there are no Normal-types besides Blissey and E-Killer. This boils down to Lunala was super hard to prepare for because a lot of its checks and counters were ONLY on there to check Lunala which is really problematic in a meta that has super limited slots to cover a massive range of threats. To make matters worse, the very best Lunala checks Blissey and Gyaradosite Toxapex are super passive so people would pair Lunala with something like Terrakion so Lunala is the anvil that forces in passive bois and Terrak is the hammer that punishes those guys coming in. Same story this Gen only there isn't pursuit anymore, checks are even more limited, and even though Lunala misses its Z move, items like Metronome and Rocky Helmet have given it the ability to easily break checks like Mandibuzz so it's honestly just as bad in Gen 8 if not worse.
3. Probably Xurkitree its design is hilarious and I like how it blows through teams on MnM webs and in AAA when it's been used. Naganadel is cool too though
4. Depends what you like! A game I recommend to everyone with a 3DS is Kid Icarus Uprising. It's made by the creator of Smash Bros and even though the control system is weird it's a really unique and enjoyable portable game. I'm assuming everyone that has a switch has already played it, but if you haven't, play Breath of the Wild and stick with it even if it seems boring at some points. If you're mildly interested in Zelda games but don't know where to start, dive in anywhere! Seriously, i've had nothing but good experiences with the series Wind Waker for Wii U was my first Zelda title that one is amazing as well
5. I read more as a kid than I do now funny how reading tons of college textbooks destroys your desire to read recreationally. I'm currently reading a fantasy novel called "The Way of Kings" by Brandon Sanderson i've been chugging away at it for a while now but i'll finish it sometime
6. I started watching anime because I was interested in cartoons and loved Avatar but I thought the style of a lot of popular American cartoons were ugly so I just dove into anime because I thought the art for stuff like "Your Name" and "A Silent Voice" was gorgeous. Anime has been around for a while so there's a lot of good stuff after you get past the initial stigma of "omg what if my friends and family find out and call me a weeb!!!" So eventually I just decided to stop worrying about all that, be honest about what I enjoy and just not take it too far. I've been saying Anime is like anything else, there's good anime and bad anime and if you enjoy the good in moderation then that's fine. If you take it too far and obsess over it, obviously that's bad...
7. I'm not sure i've never had airline food but during most of my flights the attendant has offered me pop and Dr. Pepper in an airplane just tastes better for some reason
8. As long as Pokemon stays relevant. Considering they're the most successful company in the world, i'd say for quite a good long time. VGC is more relevant than every right now so unless some rival game just completely takes over the fanbase I don't see it disappearing at all
9. Nah the halfhearted plan was originally to quit after my second OMPL because then I would have been around for a full year and I felt that would be a nice place to wrap it up but like I predicted, I couldn't leave my friends behind and chose to stick around. The only way someone gets out of this game is if they find something they want to obsess over more so unless I find other games I like way more or work takes over, I don't see getting out of it anytime soon especially now that MnM survived.
10. They're all bad probably snapchat if that counts. It's super obnoxious a lot of the time but you have a lot of control over who you snap and who's snaps you look at and it's less emphasis on people subjecting other people to their stupidity and more on connecting with friends and such
11. I think Gen 8 designs are pretty prime. Dragapult looks really cool but everyone likes him so i'm gonna say Frosmoth it reminds me of Luna Moths and I loved those as a kid. My least favorite is Greedent that thing is HIDEOUS
12. That's a great question I used to feel that way because of how much I played/built a lot of webs. But after Shuckle got banned I was forced out of my comfort zone a bit more and step into other styles. I actually ended up having the best and most consistent results after webs got banned so I guess it was a good thing in the end. If you want to consider using really good Pokemon being carried, then I guess i'm still carried by some of the broken mons I spammed at the end of Gen 7, I abused the hell out of Pinsirite Entei people just didn't pack good counterplay and it exploited a lot of the mons that people seemed to like bringing against me. I tended to stack multiple Extreme Speed users on teams and then build a 2-3 mon defensive pivot-based backbone so something like Pinsirite Entei, Altarinite Zygarde, and E-Killer + defensive bois it tended to be quite effective but some of my losses in circuit showed people were starting to catch on
13. I miss the good ol' days of building some trash squad in five minutes and then joint laddering with said trash squad with Stresh, Hills, QT, and anyone else who was up for it. Lots of good memories from that beginning time of Pokemon. Winning OMPL VI was also a great moment like I said earlier, I made a lot of friends in that tour. Ofc it was recently nice to win Circuit too but I enjoy winning team tours more because then you're sharing the joy with your friends
14. Nah not really. I keep up with a lot of sports news and articles on ESPN and such though
15. I enjoyed Pokemon youtube channels quite a bit when I was younger Shofu was my favorite and I still think he's pretty entertaining. I enjoyed his recent video reacting to the new mythical it backed how I felt about the Pokemon myself. Other than that, I guess I sometimes watch Cody Ko and the Sidemen. I get why some people don't like Cody Ko but I find him pretty funny and the Sidemen's videos are just impressive and entertaining in general even if they can tend to be idiots at times
16. Sure I am usually inspired by artwork based on how hard I personally believe that piece would be to create. In terms of fine art, I really like Rembrandt's work his use of light in paintings and ability to capture fine detail like individual strands of hair in portraits with a paintbrush during that time blows my mind. I also love it when artists really lay on the paint to create an actual texture jutting out of the canvas and Rembrandt was really good at employing that
I think the part of the painting that inspires me the most is the hair and the multitude of tones for the skin in his face, big Rembrandt fan always inspiring. For Pokemon-themed art, I was browsing Twitter the other day and stumbled across some neat artwork someone had made where they combined digital art of Pokemon into real landscape pictures. I really enjoy this one with Rayquaza
https://twitter.com/asteroid_ill this is the Twitter handle of the artist they make all kinds of anime and Pokemon themed stuff they recently posted more stuff with other legendaries I think it's pretty cool
17. The Joker, congrats to Joaquin Phoenix for the oscar
18. I like lots of stuff. I listen to a lot of instrumental music when doing homework or playing games i'm partial to piano music so i'll just search up a nice compilation on youtube and work. I really enjoyed Post Malone's recent album and like most generic pop as well. I've been listening to a lot of Rock and Metalcore recently as well it's super edgy and emo but I enjoy the intensity. My roommate loved playing music out loud and Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West were two of his favorites so i've grown to like them as well. My car unfortunately doesn't have an aux cord plugin so i'm stuck only listening to CDs when I would tackle the 8 hour drive home from college so my brother lent me these two Owl City albums he had gathering dust in his apartment so considering those are the only CD albums I have in my car, i've listened to an unholy amount of Owl City on those trips really takes you back to 2004 lol. The one genre I actively condemn is country I can't handle the overly cliche silliness and repetition of it all and it's WAY too popular where I've grown up.
19. Biggest bruh moment i've experienced on PS is this replay
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7mixandmega-768926489 basically Jordan and I were trying to do some sick nasty innovation in MnM for OMPL VI and unfortunately that innovation came in the form of Cameruptite Diancite, Rotom-Wash, and Perish Trap Arceus-Ground. The matchup was incredibly bad however, I accidentally put the wrong move on my Shaymin-Sky that ended up being quite clutch. Good times..
20. First step is being the avatar so I can't help you much beyond that point. However, it's kind of interesting that both of avatars featured in the series sucked at getting into the avatar state because it's so busted that I think the writers felt a need to limit it in any way possible.
