Would you rather..? Pokémon Edition!

[VaatiRulesets]

The premise is simple, respond the question asked by the user above and then ask a Pokémon related question starting by "Would you rather.. "

I'll start:

Would you rather have the biggest Pokémon collection (either physical like plushies or virtual like a Shiny living dex) OR win the VGC Pokémon World Tournament?

 

[Pasio]

Winning the VGC world tournament would be nice yes.


Would you rather do a full gauntlet in Generation 6 where you have to complete the entire National Dex exclusively using Wonder Trade, then progress through the main story with just a completely random Pokémon wonder traded to you.

or

Play all the way through Pokémon Ultra Moon only using a Cosmog and its evolutionary line, with level caps (you can't overlevel past your next totem). You cannot run any other Pokémon, and you must solo the game with the one you have.

 

[mastermind lissi]

Wonder trade cause cosmog and cosmoem learn barely any moves and iirc cosmog can’t learn any attacking moves at all

Coordinator or league (assuming we’re in an anime-like world)

 

[Salmancer]

League. I ain't leaving my success up to judge opinion.

Assuming the arbitrary Pokemon in question learns both moves, would you rather use Flamethrower or Fire Blast? The old accuracy vs power question.

 

[Okido]

Flamethrower. My luck is worst at the most inopportune moments, so I've never been a fan of anything with less than 100% accuracy. :p

If you were a world-travelling Trainer, would you rather trudge through the blizzard and waist-deep snow of Sinnoh's Route 217, or brave the harsh desert sandstorm on Route 111 in Hoenn?

 

[DigitalGen6]

I really don’t like the cold, so I’mma go with Route 111 in Hoenn.

Wait… Doesn’t this thread already exist? Like before the 25th or something?

 

[Camille]

Would you rather raise a Dragonite or a Salamence?

 

[mastermind lissi]

Salamence, it’s my favourite out of the two

Magma or aqua

 

[Camille]

Magma, I like their uniforms better, and I prefer Maxie to Archie.
Mega Evolution or Dynamax/Gigantamax?

 

[DigitalGen6]

Mega Evolution. For many reasons. The other is okayish.

Metagrossite or Garchompite?

 

[mastermind lissi]

hm. Hard choice, but I prefer the look of metagrosses mega and have too many bad memories with Cynthia’s garchomp (actually I think her milotic and gastrodon have mentally scarred me) but either way metagrossite (I also like Steven he’s great. I’m sorry Cynthia but I never played the hoenn games so no bad memories there)

Gen 9 or 8

 

[Catz]

Gen 9, but it's pretty close decision wise.

Would you rather be a Gym Leader or Elite Four Member?

 

[DigitalGen6]

Gen 8 for a few reasons (such as character customization lol I’m a character customization junkie. Besides I get cold easily and prefer to wear cold weather clothes irl and I like wearing outfits that reflect that in-game). Oh no ninja’d. I guess Elite Four member, seems pretty fun.

Sinnoh or Johto?
(Yes Steven is babe lol)

 

[mastermind lissi]

Sinnoh, I’ve got emotional attachment to that place

Bw or b2w2

 

[Catz]

BW2, BW is still great, but BW2 definitely expands on the original, making it a more fun and fuller experience overall.

Fire, Water, or Grass starter?

 

[mastermind lissi]

I tend prefer the fire or water anf what I choose is sort of everywhere, but I have chosen the fire one the most (grass: 1 water: 1 fire: 2)

Lillie or Gladion

 

[Catz]

Lillie, she's my adorable lil' bean and I love her so.

Mt. Chimney or Mt. Coronet (to live in)

 

[mastermind lissi]

Coronet, I’m Canadian, I can stand the cold. But I’d rather not burn to death, thank you very much

Teal mask or indigo disk (in terms of general aesthetic and what we know so far about the second one and if you haven’t played it, both)

 

[Catz]

both I suppose, since I haven't played it, but what I've heard about Teal Mask, it sounds pretty good all things considered.

Continuing this topic, would you rather have Kieran or Carmine as your rival?

 

[Okido]

Haven't played Teal Mask yet, but the vibe of Indigo Disk looks like it's more my thing. I like Terapagos more than Ogerpon anyway. ninja'd xP
Again, I only watched a playthrough of the DLC so far. But Carmine looks cool, and she seems like she'd be a tough rival!
(also reminder for this thread that this is a "would you rather"-type game — if the question is just to pick between two things, then there's This or That over in Fun & Games instead! )

Would you rather only be able to catch Shinies of your least favorite Pokémon, or never find a Shiny ever again?
