Ecruteak City in HeartGold.

[Colt45]

1. What’s your favorite TYPE?

Electric. I've gone over this many times before, but I suppose I can explain yet again why the Electric Type is my favorite. You gotta love speed, something the Electric type, and electricity in general, is notorious for. Why is speed so important you may ask? The ability to hit first is a truly invaluable trait, one that can make or break the game for you countless times. Electric types truly have some of the best, most unique designs out there, including: Pikachu (the freaking mascot of the franchise is on our side), Electroll, Jolteon, the Elekid line, Raikou, the Luxray line, Zapdos, Rotom, Thundurus, the Joltik line, and Zekrom, just to name a few. Come one, in the real world, how can you not like electricity? It powers pretty much everything technology-wise, including whatever you are using to read this right now. Truly, electricity is one of the greatest thing about the real world. Without it, no AC, no Computers, no TV, no electric lights, no microwaves, you get the picture. Also, thunder-storms can be pretty damn awesome to watch, sometimes even beautiful. It only has one weakness. That pretty much speaks for itself. Fact is, the Electric type is the only type with only one weakness (besides normal, which doesn't have nay resistances). The Electric type has a great move pool. For one thing, it includes a status: Paralysis. Paralysis is a very useful status ailment: cutting in half the opponents speed, and causing a 30% chance at immobility every turn, rendering a fast sweeper nearly useless. To back up this status ailment is Thunder-Wave, a reliable move that has 100% accuracy. Also, many regular Electric attacking moves grant a chance a paralyzing the opponent. Speaking of attacks, Electric boasts some of the most powerful, visually-pleasing attacks out there; including, but not limited to: Thunderbolt, Thunder, Electro Ball, Thunder Punch, Zap Cannon, Wild Carge, Volt Switch, Volt Tackle, and Bolt Strike.

2. What's your favorite STAT?

As stated above, you can't beat Speed.

3. What’s your favorite MOVE?

I have no idea, so many.

4. What’s your favorite SPECIAL ABILITY?

Once again, there's too many.

5. What’s your favorite POKEBALL?

I've always really loved the Great Ball's design for some reason.

6. What’s your favorite BERRY?

Perhaps the Persim Berry, great for an Outrage user like me, and I like it's name.

7. What's your favorite ITEM?

I don't know.

8. What's your favorite STATUS AILMENT?

Toxic is very useful, and so is paralysis, but putting your opponent to sleep whilst attacking them seems very satisfying to me, so I'll say that it's that one.

9. What's your favorite piece of GAME MUSIC?

Perhaps the Johto gym leader music, but I'm also quite fond of the creepiness of Lavender Town's.

10. What's your favorite example of GRAPHICS in a Pokemon game?

I was blown away the first time I saw Diamond as a kid.

I will probably edit some of the ones I left unfilled later, to contain real answers.

[Ampy]

Fact is, the Electric type is the only type with only one weakness.

Normal would like a word with you :P

1. What’s your favorite TYPE?

Hmm, that's a tough one, but in the end I'd probably have to say Dark. Just so many great Pokemon; Houndoom, Umbreon, Absol, Honchkrow, Tyranitar, Scrafty, Hydreigon, Bisharp, and of course, my personal favourite, Weavile. Ice is a close second though.

2. What's your favorite STAT?

Special Attack due to having the coolest looking moves.

3. What’s your favorite MOVE?

I used to be able to answer this one but can't anymore ufortunately

4. What’s your favorite SPECIAL ABILITY?

Don't have one.

5. What’s your favorite POKEBALL?

Well, I'll have to say the good ol' Pokeball. I don't know why but I'm so OCD with this that it feels off when one of my Pokemon is in a different type of Pokeball.

6. What’s your favorite BERRY?

I don't use berries.

7. What's your favorite ITEM?

Choice Specs.

8. What's your favorite STATUS AILMENT?

Sleep.

9. What's your favorite piece of GAME MUSIC?

Regi Battle Theme.

10. What's your favorite example of GRAPHICS in a Pokemon game?

I'm going to have to go with how amazed I was at seeing LeafGreen and FireRed for the first time; reliving my childhood in 32-bit bliss was amazing.
