I bite my nails so I don't have that problem but, it depends. On a good day I can line up a bunch of them without the pliers but I got a pair for myself just in case c:

It can be a pain sometimes, I usually need to use some little pliers to pick up the beads xD I have seen the sprite ones too and they're pretty sweet x) I have a couple of some random little toys, I have two different Sevipers somewhere around here.

Ugh, I wish! No, I don't really have much merch. I did start making some perler bead pokemon though, some are cute but most of them suck. I should have done sprites instead of trying to wing it and come up with an actual design :P My Piplup is pretty damn cute though

I've played all the generations (well, kind of) c: I haven't played much of X/Y, I don't really like them tbh. Black/white were probably my favorite

My pleasure. :) Happy Vesnali!
