Ask an Umbreon Hiding in the Shadows (Shade)
 

Hello there. Only a few of you know me, so I feel it's my responsibility to let you get to know me better.

Hello, my name is Shade. As you can tell, my favorite pokémon type is the Dark-type, with my all-time favorite pokémon being umbreon.

Got any questions? Feel free to ask.

(Ohai, Fellow Umbreon)

What's your favorite food?
Favorite beverage?

How did you get into Pokémon?
What's your favourite Pokémon movie?

Favorite food? Nachos and chips
Favorite beverage? Root beer!

I truthfully started by watching the anime. But my true plunge into pokémon was trying games related to each other in some way. My true dive into pokémon was Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Blue, which I tried thanks to playing Etrian Odyssey (both games are rogue-likes, though PMD has far fewer penalties for failing). Played the heck out of the PMD games before deciding to dive into the mainstream games. Been playing ever since.

Favorite pokémon movie? Rise of Darkrai easily (it does feature a dark-type as the main pokémon after all).

What were your strongest subjects in school?

Math, followed closely by science. It helped that my science teachers made things interesting.

Alright Shade even though you're not popular, you do need recognition.

What is your favorite Season (spring, summer, autumn, winter)
Favorite time at night?
Favorite Moon phase?
Why do people mix us up, (in chat we use opposing colors)

Less popularity means less trolling :P

* My favorite season is spring. I like windy weather and it tends to be very windy during that season.

* 11pm-3am [the times I'm available to chat here ^~^]

* Full moon, of course. It's the phase of the umbreon.

* It's because the two of us are extremely similar (with very few differences). It's just I'm a bit more restrained in my behavior. That and we're both umbreons :P

What are your New Year's Resolutions?

What's you favorite color?
Why do you like umbreons so much?
Your favorite thing about Pokémon?
And what kind of music do you like?

This year? Mainly get in better shape, get better organized and improve my financial situation.


My favorite color is blue
I like the eeveelution line because it's so cute, and I like dark types. Umbreon is a combination of the two, so of course I like him the most.
Favorite thing about Pokémon? Raising pokémon. I did mention I'm an eevee breeder in the past ^~^
Favorite kind of music? I like almost all kinds of music, but lately I'm more into upbeat music like metal and electronica.

As an adult who likes Pokemon (and is awesome ;) ), what would you have to say to other people who think the series is childish and "just for kids"?

People like that most likely haven't even tried the series out and don't know what they're talking about. I would tell them to stop being so closed minded and check the series out themselves before jumping to conclusions so easily.

What's your favorite number?

197 of course. Umbreon's number.

Favorite Dessert?
Favorite Animal?

Strawberry cheesecake...mmmmm

Cats of course. Such graceful creatures that show plenty of affection....too much at times.

What was the first moment you remember from playing Pokemon that surprised you? My first shock was playing Yellow and then finding out you can get the other starters alongside Pikachu.

I started late in the series, so my first shock would be the fact you could get both Ho-oh and Lugia in HeartGold.

Y u get no lurv here. (Probably because you're in the shadows.. Where I lurk.)

I don't really have any questions, just making random posts here and there.

Cause I love the lack of attention. Fame is overrated and can often destroy a person.

I'd like to be acknowledged and have a few supporters/fans but I wouldn't want a whole army after me.

What eevee-lution is you least favorite?

It would have to be Jolteon. Hard to pet with all that spiky fur.

...why am I only checking this now?
Cause I've been lazy >.>

What's your favorite non-eeveelution?

Least favorite Pokemon?

Favorite would have to go to quilava. I like the cyndaquil evolution line for some reason.
Least favorite...guess that would go to muk. Imagine cleaning that mess up every day.

Most favorite shiny?

[I need to check this more often]

Charizard. Black uber dragon-like pokemon ftw

What's your favorite thing in the game of Minecraft?

Do you realize how badass your sig is?

*rage*

If they added a flying evolution of Eevee, would it have a sub-type and if so what would it be? Also, what would it be called?

What are your thoughts of Terraria?

In vanilla, it would have to be the Extreme Hills biome. Some epic mountains there. In all of Minecraft though, I like all the mods you can add, especially ones that add to gameplay [like Tale of Kingdoms]

It's just a few things I put together, mostly from my friends.

1) Liking Jolteon the least doesn't mean I dislike it. I like all the eeveelutions pretty much equally.

2) It all depends. I could see it being Flying/Dark if it was a devil-like eeveelution. Maybe Flying/Dragon if they made it more dragon-like. Could even be Flying/Ghost if it was more spectral.

3) I've seen the videos for it and it seems like a lot of fun. It doesn't have 3D so it's not as realistic as Minecraft could be, but it makes up for it with all the enemies and features that Terraria has that Minecraft doesn't.

Another reason I like Minecraft mods the most: there's one to add Terraria features in Minecraft, though I didn't mess with it too much.

If you could, would you get a pet creeper in Minecraft?

Sure~ I already keep one behind a fence near my home in SSP...too bad it despawned.

If you could change one thing about VR, what would that be?

I'd actually like the addition of site skins for most of the pokemon. An umbreon-based one would be really awesome, and I'm sure other users would like one based around their favorite pokemon.

You have just won a free trip to Japan, you are allowed to take 4 friends from VR with you. Which four will you choose?

Cat333Pokémon, A'bom, Cyrus, Ninjamander

What are your goals in life?

My main goal is to get out of this horrid home of mine. It's in the boonies so no decent internet >=(

My other goal is to see as many around me as happy as possible. It's why I try to be friendly and helpful to everyone.

Which is your favorite videogame music?

What would you name the Pokemon sprite below?

I like all kinds of video game music, but my favorite would have to be the soundtrack to Tales of the Abyss. Got some awesome music in that one.

Hmm...Quibreceon?

Least favorite dark type?

Least favorite game genre?

If you include pokémon that has dark as a dual-type, then carvanha. If you mean pure dark-type...hmm...I guess darkrai.

Least favorite game genre is definitely Real Time Strategy, the kind where you7 have to strategically control an army or something similar. Games like Advance Wars.

Least favorite color and why?

That would have to be white, especially early in the morning. Sorry, but I don't like temporary blindness when I wake up >.>

Favorite system from Nintendo and why?
Favorite Gameboy Advance game?

Favorite system from Nintendo would have to be the DS Lite. I'm more of a portable game player and it let me play both GBA and DS pokemon games.

Favorite GBA game? Hmm...there's a tie between Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Red. Sorrow was a really interesting game, but Red got me started with the whole Pokémon craze.

What are the 4 nitrogenous bases that can be found on nucleotides? (uracil doesn't count)

Ah, a genetics question.
adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine

Do you think you can beat this boss?

If you could, would you shut down Sony or Microsoft?

It would probably take a lot of practice, but I could eventually...after a few months >.>

Microsoft. I started off with Final Fantasy.

Least favorite genre of video game and why?

I remember answering this one already >.>
Least favorite game genre is definitely Real Time Strategy, the kind where you7 have to strategically control an army or something similar. Games like Advance Wars.

Oh sorry. Too lazy to search for it. >_>

Have you ever played Resident Evil 4 or 5?
If you played both, which one did you like more?

Oh it's fine. Even I have lazy streaks.

I have tried 4, but didn't like how the controls worked so didn't really get into it that much.

Do you have any ideas for celebrating Christmas on VR?

do you like trains

Hmm, maybe give out virtual gifts?

Yus

What's the best thing about living in the Shadows?

Being able to hide in them whenever I need to. It's nice to just get away from it all once in a while.

Do you have a favorite picture of Umbreon?

Who would win in a fight - Glaceon or Jolteon?

Of course. The one in my profile pic of course. Such a fluffy tail.


Glaceon of course. All a glaceon would have to do is freeze the ground around a jolteon's feet, leaving it immobile.

If you could make up a new word in English, what would it be?

[I need to check these more often >.>]

omniprocrastination = Procrastinating everything

If you had the ability to make a MC mod, would you and what would it be like?
On the topic of Minecraft, do you find dirt to be useless?

I would, and if I made one, it would be to add more Final Fantasy elements like immense dungeons filled with more powerful mobs and bosses.

As for dirt, you can't grow food without it, sheep won't regrow wool without it, and it makes for a nice and easy placement aid for when you want to lay a block in midair. Oh, and can't grow trees without dirt either. So far from useless.

Favorite time of the day? If its not already obvious.

You are given the opportunity to go sky diving or go to an amusement park for a day. Do you accept either choice?

Favorite eeveelution after umbreon?

Night time, of course :P


I'd take the amusement park for a day. I'm not that big with super-fast rollercoasters, but there are plenty of other rides at amusement parks.

Espeon and Glaceon are tied for second

Who do you think would win in a spam contest - me or KYA?
What is your favorite Legend of Zelda game?

KYA would win of course. He has the power to kick ya and keep on spamming. He has done that before :P

Favorite Zelda would have to be Link To The Past. Played that one so many times.

Favorite restaurant?

There's a local buffet house called Buffet City that serves the best Chinese/Japanese buffet in the local area. Mmm~ plates of Chinese cuisine followed up with sushi...great, now I wanna go back sometime soon.

Is your avatar supposed to be referencing Minecraft or Harvest Moon?

It's actually a reference to Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, only it's called Snow Eevee and the Seven Eeveelutions. Umbreon represented Doc. Though now I use it to reference Minecraft as well.

I've never really played Havest Moon. I should try it sometime.

Like the Xbox, do you get the red ring of death if you are injured or malfunctioning? :P

No, they just blink yellow for "yield" :P

What would your IRL pokemon team be?

When it comes to irl, other things have to be considered besides moves, power and skill in battle. You also have to consider how they can help with everyday tasks.

My team would be an eeveelution set of flareon, jolteon, glaceon, umbreon, espeon and vaporeon. Flareon can help cook meals, jolteon charge up a generator for power, glaceon provide air conditioning on hot days, espeon to be able to speak to due to its psychic powers, vaporeon to help provide water and umbreon cause it's my fave :P

I would include leafeon if possible cause it can help with growing food.

And of course they'd all make good companions when a friend is needed.

So far, what was your best moment on VR?

Would you want the world to be like Tazmilly Village from Mother 3 pre-chapter 4 where there is no currency system, everyone helps everyone out, and everyone is at peace?

Favorite sport?

It's a tossup between meeting A'bom [who pulled me out of my reclusive shell] and meeting Ninjamander [who indirectly taught me tolerance]


If only that system would work. It would be nice, but easily ruined with a few lazy people who don't contribute.


I don't really watch sports, but if I had to choose, it would be football.

What is your least favorite food and why?

Chicken still on the bone. All the flavor is stuck in the skin and it just seems way too moist. Boneless chicken, however, is good ^~^

What's your favourite colour scheme?

Any kind of dark color scheme. Much easier on my eyes. Besides, I'm a dark-type at heart. We love dark things.

You see Princess Peach getting kidnapped by Bowser, what do you do?

I would rescue her any way I could. Who needs Mario? :P

Will you be getting Kid Icarus Uprising?

Most likely, but probably not on release date unfortunately.

What is your favorite TV show?

Can you Fly?

I don't watch much TV anymore, but if I had to pick one, it would have to be V.

No, but I can sorta mimic flight by shadow-hopping. There's shadows under those clouds too :P

Favorite kind of pokeball?
