Rockapheller (also known as Brandt ) is a Pokémon Trainer who travels across all the regions in the Pokémon world through Pokémon anime , Pokémon games and Pokémon manga in order to train Pokémon and compete at the Pokémon League , or engage with the legends and myths , as well as trainers of every region in order to understand the nature of Pokémon, people, world and the franchise as a whole.
General information
I speak English, German and Turkish fluently, and I am learning Italian.
I prefer British English to American English.
My hobbies include body building, reading, writing fiction/novel and gaming.
As well as Pokémon, I am a huge fan of Eurovision Song Contest and Harry Potter novels.
I don't believe in any religion, although I have no certain opinion regarding existence of a God, even though I consider it "extremely unlikely".

Games
My first game is one of original Hoenn games that I started playing in 2005, but I don't remember which version it was. I stopped playing the game very early, because I didn't like the region back then.
I have completed a Living Pokédex in early 2018.
My longest Pokémon battle has been against Champion Wallace in Emerald Version , lasting around 1 hour.
Gameplay
I never leave my starter Pokémon .
I catch the "national bird" Pokémon and keep them on my team until the end unless I already had trained one in another version before.
There are no types that I never trained.*
My most trained type is Flying , with 20.
My least trained type is Ghost , with 4.
I never trained mono Ghost-type Pokémon.
Sun has the only team in which the same type repeats more than twice at the same time: Fairy-type , three times.
I only play with the Pokémon that debut in the generation of its game, unless the generation introduces a new evolution or form to the species.
Until Generation VI games, I would have my Pokémon either with a beneficial or ineffective nature. This rule is broken from Pokémon X and onwards due to arguably easiness of the games.
I keep the level of my Pokémon on my team as close as possible.
There are so far 20 Pokémon I have with nicknames .
Venusaur , Blastoise , Clefable , Ninetales , Primeape , Hitmonlee , Flareon , Dragonite , Sceptile , Altaria , Ludicolo , Audino and Decidueye are named after their or their evolutions' Japanese names, or based on their Japanese names.
Raichu is nicknamed "Foudre", French for Thunder.
Jynx is nicknamed "Zynx", a nickname non-player character has given and cannot be changed.
Torterra is nicknamed "Alaska", the name of my pet kitten which I adopted one day after the release of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl .
Xerneas is nicknamed "Nature", based on its concept.
Incineroar is nicknamed "Pootsmann", referring to an Estonian singer, Jüri Pootsmann , due to his dark performance at Eurovision Song Contest 2016 .
Corviknight is nicknamed "Hopperhawk", referring to Edward Hopper 's painting Nighthawks .
Sirfetch'd is nicknamed "Siegfried", referring to Richard Wager 's opera character from Götterdämmerung .
Alpha Sapphire has the only team which defeated the league first time with less than 6 Pokémon in the party.
I don't necessarily choose the gender of a specific Pokémon.
X and HeartGold (Alternative) has the only team that coincidentally consists of the same gender Pokémon.
Out of 18 starter Pokémon , only 3, Charizard , Blastoise and Decidueye , are female.
So far, 10 teams of mine are male-oriented, 4 teams are female-oriented, 4 teams are equally distributed.
Out of 108 Pokémon, 61 are male, 37 are female, 10 are genderless.
Charizard and Blastoise are the only Pokémon that I trained for more than one party .
