Wall for Dyla N

I've been good. Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't follow tournaments.

Welcome.
Also, they gave us more time. It's on the 11th of January.

Normally, Inventory is the 1st Saturday of the year. Also, Happy Early B-Day. :D

Been doing good. Getting ready for inventory...which starts on Jan 4. Also, been bored lately. :(

Thx, Happy Halloween. Michael Groth from MandJTV is a PokéTuber of 10 yrs., which makes his judgement applicable. What he means by BEST is which starter has the better/most advantages against the gyms/trials(kahunas) or select notable Specialist battles. My basis for BEST is similar to his, but the difference is which is most advantageous against the first 2 gyms, middle 3 gyms, last 3 gyms, and atleast 1 E4 member (In the case of Trials, it's the same formula.).

Referencing MandJTV's Best Starter Video, all are correct (except that he said Popplio was best due to the Kahuna battles instead of the trials. My basis for Best in Alola is the Trials.). His vid isn't updated to see which Gen-9 Starter is best, so that one's my opinion.

So far (excluding Emboar from Unova), I've used every "best" Starter Pokémon from each region:
a Grass/Poison-type/Eevee in Kanto (LGE), Typhlosion in Johto (HG), Swampert in Hoenn (OR), Infernape in Sinnoh (BD), Delphox in Kalos (X), Incineroar/Decidueye in Alola (S/US), Cinderace in Galar (Sh), H. Samurott in Hisui (PLA), and Meowscarada in Paldea (V).

After I complete Alola and its PostGame using my Decidueye team (see below), I would have completed every Region using the "best" Starter from each (Also, I'm saving my Gen-5 team for BW remakes.).

I'm fine. Just slowly going insane, ya know?

I've been replaying Let's Go Eevee as Reverse-Me (Evil Me) with a rather unusual starter of Ivy the Victreebel accompanied by team members of King the Nidoking, Sting the Beedrill, Ignite the Arcanine, Phantasm the Gengar, and Tsunami the Poliwrath. I also named the rival the same as my char.

Also, I'm currently playing Ultra Sun as him with a different starter of Archer the Decidueye accompanied by team members of Samurai the Golisopod, Undermine the Alolan Dugtrio, Stampede the Mudsdale, Yeti the Crabominable, and Blast the Turtonator. I'm at Mina's Trial rn.

By platonic love I just mean love that isn't romantic, like the love someone might feel for their family or a close friend or something.
