I always play each game straight through, can't get enough - but more often than not it's only a one-time playthrough (because of dex completion and poke collection primarily - I never transfer my entire collection forward from each one, only the strong ones).

Only one I played through multiple times was Emerald, Blue, and Leaf Green. Each of those times were for slightly different reasons.

What are some Pokemon names you were wrong about before hearing them in the anime?

Milotic, I thought "My-law-tic" instead of "My-low-tic".
Rayquaza, I thought "Ray-cua-zah" instead of "Ray-kway-zah".

I still pronounce Rayquaza wrong. Also, Arceus should be 'ar-see-uhs', not 'ar-kee-uhs'. Battle Revolution announcer > anime characters.

I hate Genesect. So difficult to counter without resorting to heavy-duty special walls. It's like Nidoking, but it can actually outspeed stuff.

I see.

I'm still deciding what team I'll use on B&W2.
~ Water Starter
~ Scrafty
~ Flareon (COME AT ME HATERS)

Man, Chikorita shoulda been in this game.

Yes, but an ideal Samurott moveset (even in-game) is all physical (i.e. Waterfall, Megahorn, Superpower, Swords Dance) as it offers more coverage.

Isn't Samurott's special attack better than its physical attack? Without EV training, you might as well go for a mixed set with Ice Beam.

Swords Dance makes all the difference. If Samurott got Nasty Plot, then a Special set would be fine. However, due to the lack of strong Special moves available to Samurott until lategame, a Physical set will make quick work of pretty much every trainer in the game.

I guess I am going to go with Oshawott this time as I really like Samurott. I originally didn't like Oshawott, but it's grown on me a lot.

All I know is, if I am not using a water starter (it still happens sometimes if I do), and Gyarados is in the game, it'll be in my party. Possibly the most story picked Pokemon that isn't a starter besides Bird Pokemon and Pikachu.

I have him on my team every single time.

I plan on ditching Oshawatt for him when I get to Magikarp Salesman.

Hehe, we have pretty similar teams in Leaf Green/Fire Red. I remember using a good percentage of those Pokemon in that game. I did have a Haunter and was eternally saddened I didn't have a way to evolve him.

Same.

But I have imported my Haunter to my Platinum now, with hopes that one day, I can import that Haunter to my White and have Gengar in White.

Anything can make quick work of every trainer in the game.
Pokemon games are made for children so you can pick pretty much any Pokemon you want and as long as you don't give them stupid moves you will never have a problem until maybe the boss of the evil team/elite four/gyms if your whole team has a massive weakness to one.
