Pokémon and Gender; Who really plays this game?

1. Male
2. None; I've yet to do anything in the game, so far I've only been an appreciative observer.
3. Similarly to Ookami, I wanted to make a tabletop Pokemon RPG, and decided to see if one existed (in retrospect, I'm glad I did, because I never would've finished making anything nearly as awesome as PTA and PTU are).
4. Ummmm... Either Blaziken or Greninja.
5. Fire & Fighting types are usually what I like going with (which makes the dark/water Greninja a weird choice, but it's really good to battle with).
6. Late elementary or early middle school. Everyone at school got into it before me; when I came into school boasting about beating the Elite Four, everyone already had done that weeks prior. I decided that I'd be the biggest expert on pokemon when the next games came out, and lived on Serebii to find out all the information I could about the upcoming games. Then they came out, and no one but me cared.

1. male
2 Psychic
3. My brother wanted to play a tabletop and the handbook for Naruto tabletop was around 700-800 pages long... we thought Pokemon might be a bit easier.
4. Mismagius, my first level 100 Pokemon
5. Ghost types
6. before age 5 my brothers introduced me to Pokemon silver, sadly because i started at gen 2 it's hard for me to distinguish the gen 2 Pokemon from gen 1 Pokemon
7. 18

1) Female!
2) PTA: GM. almost always. (The few times I play otherwise, I'm either a Mystic/Shaman, or Psychic/Empath/Clairsentient) PTU: Only ever been GM and Ace Trainer/EnduringSoul/Soldier
3) Friend got me started on PTA, then the campaign had too many people so I quit and ran my own, been running them ever since. PTU, I only just got into and figured I'd learn the other system over break for shiggles.
4) Favorite Pokemon? I'm a huge fan of Artcuno for aesthetic reasons, but so far in the Tabletop, I'm really loving Golett.
5) Favorite type, I love dark-types, but they really don't have that many good moves and such so it's more of a wishful thinking kind of deal. Ice is a really nice one, and Fire as well.
6) My first exposure to Pokemon was when my cousin gave me his old Blue game and gameboy since he was upgrading to a GameBoy advance.

Okay, might as well join in.

1) Male. Unless I had major surgery done in the last hour or so.
2) I usually GM as I know the Pokemon universe better than most of my RL friends. When I get the rare opportunity to be a player instead of a GM, I tend to utilize combat-oriented classes like Martial Artists, Eles (melee strikers usually), or if I don't feel like direct combat, Aces, as of all the classes that's the one that feels to be the closest to the main game's playstyle I grew up with. Theme characters are the name of my game and that's how I love to make them. Considering how more relatively balanced PTU is compared to the main games in my opinion, I never fear making a themed team or character, as I know for the most part I'll still get through just fine.
3) I actually got into PTA first, as I was browsing 1D4Chan's Pokemon page. I saw the PTA page and got curious, I love Pokemon AND Pen and Paper games. I still enjoy PTA, but I got into PTU through these very forums, as I saw the separate section and got all curious.
4) Favorite? Considering how many Pokemon I love, we'll be here for a long time if I list them all.
5) Another tough one, but I'd have to say Dragon, with Fire being a close runner up, followed by Dark and Steel. Shocker, I know.
6) A friend introduced me to the series in kindergarten, through the anime. When I heard there was a GBC game, I leapt right into the fandom and started running.

And I never really stopped running... I've matured as a player over the years, learning the ins and outs of the games, and recently getting heavily into the competitive scene (it's so easy to do now that I'd feel silly if I DIDN'T try and learn my favorite games meta).
7) 20, soon to be 21.

Guess I'll answer this finally. I almost did this a few times, but changed my mind for forgotten reasons.

1) ♂
2) I usually GM, though my first game I had a breeder as a GM-PC as well.
3) Someone found the pre-Mystic version of PTA on a forum I used to frequent. Before too long I found this forum and the current (at the time) version of the game, and convinced my group to play it. Though since PTU came out, I've preferred it completely over PTA, only sticking with PTA because my current game was too far in to switch.
4) Starmie. I really like star designs like starfish, and Starmie's got a great movepool.
5) Electric. Only one weakness, and it's strong against two of the most common wild pokémon types.
6) I used to have a subscription to Nintendo Power magazine. Before the games were released, Nintendo Power issues had mini-magazines in the back of 6 issues, titled "Pokémon Power" as guides to Red and Blue. Thanks to these, I knew about pokémon basics since before the games were released in english. That christmas, my brother and I each got a copy of the game, I got Blue, and he got Red. Been playing ever since.
Edit: completely missed that someone added a 7th question.
7) Currently 25 at the time of this edit.

I guess people should know a bit more about the horrible creature that this mind is contained in.

1. Male (Or as I've said in spider's game: Generless Chittering Horror. Y'know, whichever.)
2. I guess that's a split between Gm and my Rider/Athlete in Nidoprinces game. I've only played the one rider but that game has been my longest running one so I have the most experience with him.
3. I found it through the Podcast Nerdy Show as they used the system for an ongoing absurd rpg podcast series under the title of Pokeballs of Steelix.
4. *Points to Avatar*
5. Despite my favorite, I'm gonna go with Water.
6. Pokemon Blue original OG

1) Male

2) Generally fighter of some kind or breeder/ace(mon optimization)

3) Friend invited me to join a PTA game and I guess after checking out PTU we played that instead

4) Not sure, there are quite a lot but some that immediately come to mind are the Charmander line, Aron line Axew line, and nostalgia Dartini line

5) After the introduction of Steel that became my favorite type with Dragon and Electric coming close seconds

6) Started way back when Red and Blue came out, ended up with both and me and my cousin each picked one(I started with Blue) and between the two of us and an outside friend we managed to get all three starters(which was big to us) and I have played ever since occasionally capturing the entire Pokedex in one game and I guess dabbling in competitive here and there but I figured leave it fun for me without worrying about all the meta stuff

7) Turning 21 in July
