Any traditions?

[Ferbgor]

Are there any things that you do in the games that does not affect game play or anything?

For me, it's saving in a house after playing at night so my character can 'sleep' in a safe place.

 

[cityvillain]

I always hold the B button when throwing a pokeball to catch a pokemon. Been doing it since R/B days.

 

[LightningTopaz]

I will at least have a Pikachu named Lita somewhere on the file (if Pikachu is availiable in the game.)

 

[Frugrow]

I always hold the B button when throwing a pokeball to catch a pokemon. Been doing it since R/B days.

Lol. I do this too, sort of. I hold the up + A button just before the Pokeball touches the Pokemon. I've caught some legendary Pokemon this way...

 

[chimera]

I always turn off the game with me standing in the middle of the Pokemon Center with my Pokemon (in SS) next to me.

 

[Sushi-X]

I turn it off without saving by accident.... a lot.

And I NEVER have the volume on.

 

[Kantomasta]

I will at least have a Pikachu named Lita somewhere on the file (if Pikachu is availiable in the game.)

This. Except mine is named Sparky. And i have to mash the left button when the pokeball shakes left, mash right when it shakes right and so on.

Well, in SoulSilver every 50 hours that I've played I always go back to New Bark Town and hang out in my room until the exact minute it changes. :b I've only gotten 60 hours so far so I've only done it once but I plan to do it again.

 

[Faye Scarlet]

I ALWAYS choose the Fire Starter. With the obvious exception of Yellow, every game I played I always went with the Fire Starter.

Also, for Pokemon Centers, I always have my character sit by the door, except in Platinum where I keep Volkner trapped inside my Villa. ._.

 

[Venom]

I turn it off without saving by accident.... a lot.

And I NEVER have the volume on.

I also never play with the sound on. I always breed a female Scyther and name her Katana.

 

[Oswin]

I always save in a Pokémon Center, and every time I make it to a new town or city, I always go and stock up on items.

 

[AlphaKirby]

I tend to just save in the Pokémon Center, and will turn it off from there during the night, and go and "sleep" on one of the cushions in the place.

 

[Water Max]

I normally hold the A button while watching a poké ball move to catch a pokemon which I have done since Red version.

 

[Mitchman]

Always gimped the game by using the masterball on the main legendary.

 

[Marcat]

Get a ground type. No matter how many different games I play or how many times I replay them, there has to be a ground type.

 

[JohnnyCool708]

From Gen I onwards, I named myself Ash. Only this generation, White, did I finally name myself John.

In Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, I always use to go out of my way to save in Agate village so I wouldn't get mugged...

I often double/triple save...

I try to talk to every NPC, yet for some reason I still have Someone's PC in White...

Never nickname Pokemon I use really. Only named my Excadrill Maurice in White for my friend...

Seems like a broke a lot of traditions in White.

 

[SharKing]

Throughout my entire existence as a Pokefan, only a few times have I ever strayed from my tradition of giving my own first name (Devin) to my character.

In the days of Gen. III, I consistently held down A while trying to catch Pokemon, epecially legendary Pokemon. That habit pretty much died in the D/P days, though.

I always give nicknames to the Pokemon I use in battles against other people (namely, Wi-Fi battles).

 

[Super Seaking]

I always name my character Nack, and I always get at least one Crobat each generation. Have yet to get a Crobat in Generation 5.

 

[Slenderman]

I always name at least one of my pokemon after a TV character/movie character/etc. In white, I named my whole team names from characters on Red Vs. Blue. (I know. I'm a nerd.)

 

[MisterDiamond]

Always Gardevoir. Ever since I randomly trained a ralts that I found, I have had a Gardevoir in my every run through the game.
