Grow, my darlings, grow~! ♥

Puri's in college now! Things are still busy busy busy and I still gotta do shopping and I'm curling up in a corner making hedgehog hisses. I don't have a lot of time to explain a lot (except two of my birthday presents are badass books: The Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams (Director of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?), which has fascinating stuff that goes into the process of animation, and Comic Book Tattoo, a giant collection of comics by over 80 well-renowned comic book artists in a variety of styles inspired by the music/lyrics of Tori Amos. The Tori geek in me is happy, and I get to look at gorgeous art~ ♥ That, and maybe it'll drive me to improve my storyboarding in my art book~ ♥

Puri made it into the Women's Choir~! ♥♥♥ Nomnomnom~!

Puri's gonna show Daddy her favorite places, like I ♥ Video and the animal shelter I had trouble finding. I shown him some neat book stores and restaurants already~! We're going to the Alamo Drafthouse when WALL-E opens there again, it's going to be lovely~! ♥♥♥♥♥

Not perfect, I came up with that on a whim. But hey, this is dream teams we're talking about. :P

15. Name your top 5 least favorite Pokémon.

Charizard. Just kidding! XD More like this:

Zubat/Golbat: DIE YOU STUPID BATS LEAVE ME ALONE *SOB* At least Crobat doesn't constantly harass you in the wild. Grrrr.
Dunsparse: Dumb and useless, die. D:
Pidgey: Annoying as hell, they make me laugh, they're so pathetic. XD
The Regis: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING
Luvdisc: I was gonna say Jynx, but then I remembered this guy. *gag*

16. What is your most favorite and least favorite regions?

Favorite: Sinnoh! All my favorite Pokemon are there~ ♥ Kanto's a close second.
Least: Johto. It felt too tiny. D: *shot!* That or Hoenn, it had blander Pokemon but the scenery and layout of the cities is sweet. Hmm.

17. Do you like anthropomorphic (human-like) Pokémon (Pokémorphs)?

Depends on their design.

18. Which kinds of Pokémorphs do you prefer and do you hate?

Fun ones true to the design while still original. Ugly boring Eeveelutions, Gardevoirs, Legendaries, Mary-Sues

19. Which would you prefer for transformation? Human to Pokémon, Pokémon to human, human to Pokémorph, or Pokémon to Pokémorph?

Human to Pokémon and SHUT UP ABOUT POKEMORPHS ALREADY

20. What Pokémorph species would you want to be? Favorite and least favorite Gym Leader?

Sabrina, Morty and Jasmine are my favorites~ ♥ Whitney, Erika and Lt. Surge can go to hell. XD

21. Would you like it if Pokémorphs became official canon in the Pokémon franchise? (In other words, they become accepted by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo.) Favorite Elite 4 members? Least?

NO. NO NO NO. NO. Karen is my hero forever and always. *___________* I apparently get a kick out of slashing Aaron (I'm sorry, I can't type the Bug Guy's name without thinking "Sir Aaron? LUCARIOOOOOOOOOOO" and *cough* yeah. He's cute though) and Lucian and Flint for some reason though. I like the Sinnoh Elite 4 (even if Cynthia's tacky Umbreon ears bug me), and Bertha's WAY sweeter than nasty old hag Agatha. XD Lucian's like a hotter and less boring version of Will. XDDDD! *SHOT* Huh, Bruno existed? Koga was in the Elite 4? XD

22. What is your favorite moment in the Pokémon anime?

Anime: "COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!", Ash in drag, Team Twerp from the Duplica episode, Ghost of Maiden's Peak, Bye Bye Butterfree, Island of the Giant Pokemon (Subtitles FUCK YEAH), Ash cradling Gary in his arms, Ash and Gary with halves of their Pokeball "fishing lure". Who could forget Boobie*James in the swimsuit contest?

1st Movie: Mewtwo and Aitwo exploring around, Ai's goodbye, Mewtwo's destruction of the lab (Aka what you always wanted to do at high school since Carrie), Psyduck and Psyduck 2's slapfight, Pikachu refusing to fight while Pikachu 2 bitchslaps him, Pikachu trying to shock Ash back to life (first punch to the gut at this scene. ;__________; ) and later crying with the other Pokemon to revive him, Meowth and Meowth 2's chat, Mew playing around with the windmill fans and giggling. I love this movie. XD

2nd Movie: Most of the dub lines ("I wish I had some pants." --Slowking), every time Melody played the Ocarina (especially at the big finale), Team Rocket helping Ash then hugging another before crashing into the ocean, Misty saving Ash from drowning (wow Misty, you actually did something other than yelling your head off! XD *stoned*)

3rd Movie: "Mama, Papa... and me." --Molly placing the pieces of the Unown Scrabble Board, Entei's intro to Molly and his confused reaction to hers ("...Papa?"), Molly turning into an adult and submerging everyone into an underwater battle, Charizard saving Ash and kicking ass (wow Charizard isn't a rebellious idiot this time! *STONE'D!*), Delia and Ash trying to "reach" Molly, Entei's farewell. Damn, it's been too long since I've seen this movie.

8th Movie: THE BALLROOM. THE GORGEOUS COSTUMES EVERYONE WORE AT THE BEGINNING. JAMES DANCING WITH MAY. THE POKEMON PLAYING IN THE ATTIC. LUCARIO'S SHOCK SEEING THE INSIDE OF THE CASTLE AGAIN. LUCARIO'S "oO;;;" LOOK WHEN HUGGED BY THE QUEEN. MIME JR. COPYING BROCK AND EVERYONE. MEOWTH SAVING PIKACHU ON THE ROOF. MEOWTH REMARKING HE WAS LOOKING AFTER PIKACHU. LUCARIO RETRIEVING BROCK'S STOLEN LUNCH AND GIVING BONSLY A BERRY TO EAT INSTEAD. AARON GRINNING LIKE A MANIAC IN HIS TUNIC AFTER INVITING LUCARIO TO DIP HIS FEET IN THE HOTSPRINGS. LUCARIO AND ASH'S TACKLEFIGHT. LUCARIO EATS CHOCOLATE. ASH'S APOLOGY TO LUCARIO. THE ENTIRE HUMAN CAST GETS EATEN BY WHITE BLOOD CELLS. ASH PUTTING AARON'S GLOVES ON TO HELP LUCARIO. LUCARIO PUSHING ASH OUT OF THE WAY. LUCARIO TEARING UP AT AARON'S LAST MEMORIES AND SPEAKING ALONG WITH HIM. LUCARIO CRIES. (Wait, I said that, did I? XD) ASH HOLDING LUCARIO'S PAW WHILE LUCARIO SMILES AND BIDS HIM FAREWELL. MEW AND BONSLY PLAYING IN THE TREE WHILE THEY KEEP AARON'S GLOVES PRESERVED IN THEIR TOY COLLECTION. LUCARIO DOING AN ANIME SMILIE SHARING CHOCOLATE WITH AARON IN THE AFTERLIFE OR WHEREVER THEY ARE. Mewtwo must be jealous he didn't get all caps in his summary. XD;; Any movie with Queen Mary of MOTHER/Earthbound 0 fame earns my respect. Then again, Movie 1 had Giegue. Hmmm... :o

10th Movie: BARON LICKYLICKY. Hands down! XD Any of the flashbacks where Darkrai is involved. The backstory of The Song. Anytime Gallade showed up, poor neglected dear. NEEDED MORE DARKRAI, LESS PALKIA AND DIALGA. Also, Darkrai dying then coming back to life? Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame! XDDDDD If it wasn't for the Baron, I don't think this movie would've been half as fun. XDDD /spoiled after seeing Movie 8, even though she saw Movie 10 first.

23. What is your favorite shipping couple(s) in the franchise?

24. Which feature in any Pokémon game do you enjoy the most? (e.g. multiplayer battles, contests, day/night system, etc.)

Sleeping. I should get some too.
