The only reason I voted for the Grass Elf/Chikorita is because you did take one all the way in a Nuzlocke Crystal run. And you've shown to prefer the Grass starter, since you almost always picked Treecko, and Turtwig, and Snivy. Weren't you also saying something about how Flora took down Clair's Kingdra with a Poisonpowder + Synthesis combo, too? And something else about Link surviving an Explosion from one of Colress's Mons in W2? And I think you mentioned that Elaine was a total badass during the fight with Wallace in your Emerald run. Grass Mons are made for you, ALG.

That, or just tanks in general. We'll see how well you do with Octavia in your Platinum run.

 

And before I forget, one more link for you.

sorry I voted for QI GE LEADER MAY LIKE on the basis of his kickass name :P

Found this.

 

Since you claim you're already going insane from playing Vietnamese Crystal, I don't see how this could possibly cause any further harm. Enjoy! Maybe it can serve as grinding music or something. It is rather catchy.

 

And here's something else, assuming everything goes well.

 

Oh, and congratulations on sweeping Falkner/はやと/whatever he's called with a Metapod. Take this one all the way! But then again, badass Bugs are a huge Nuzlocke cliche now. Especially Butterfree. Ah, just make sure people know of DELAN, who swept a Gym Leader while unevolved. *huge round of applause for DELAN*

Yes, I typed this up at 5AM, so if this post sounds sillier than usual, that's why.

Okay, you used a Metapod to kick his ass? Talk about cherry tapping.

 

Oh god, this thing is getting better and better with each update.

I am very glad I chose today to look at the blogs sidebar. If/when I get another Togepi I'm naming it Deke.

I think I just figured out why Chikorita is translated as QI GE LEADER in this hack. It was probably a botched translation from the original Japanese. The last bit of its name "リータ” sounds similar to "leader" (リーダー) in Japanese. The "QI GE" was probably an attempt to translate the first bit phonetically to Chinese. But in Chinese, its official name is apparently "菊草叶", which is nowhere close to whatever this is.

 

[spoiler=A few more details]According to my Japanese teacher, Chinese people often have a hard time differentiating the "t" and "d" sounds in Japanese, so the Japanese -> Chinese translators probably misheard. "QI" in Chinese has a similar pronunciation to "chi", so that's my reasoning for the other part.
