I would definitely be a trainer. "Lord Seriphus" sounds like a great name for a master trainer!
I would choose Absol as my first Pokemon. I always wanted Darkrai as a kid, but Absol has kinda become my go-to, because that's what I named my car. xD
I don't have a top six, but my top five are definitely Charizard, Absol, Lucario, Darkrai, and Mewtwo. (I switch with Dusknoir, Machamp, Sharpedo, and Alakazam, Luxray, and Golem at number six, but I like so many others. >.<)
I stopped at gen 4, then got back into collecting the cards. (I have a 1st edition Charizard complete with the stamp, but Hellvyre borrowed it as a kid and it went through the washer.
) I don't know the newest gen all too well, but I wanna play the games. The last I played was Platinum. xD
My favorite Eevee ev ties with Espion and Umbreon, but I'd go for Espion first. Shiny or not, they're both rad.
Also, who saw the bs throwback series of cards?? I thought they were cool, but the EXs kinda killed the Evolutions pack style and it felt like a waste of money, because I already own almost all the old cards anyway. xD The best thing they did was release Imakuni?'s cards. My friend used to play the gameboy color tcg, and told me all about Imakuni?, so that was rad af! xD
But the 20 year anniversary a couple years back was rad. I was born the same year as Pokemon! ^.^
Also, @Allanbrito, would you wanna draw an Absol gajinka with Seriphus??
