It is worth "acquiring" XD

On a more serious note, listen to OldFatGuy. If she says no it is not the end of the world, there are other fish in the sea. Who knows she may change her mind later. Just take things one step at a time :)

I would buy this soft foam Master Ball And write my number on it with a small message.

to use it i would initiate a battle and shout TACKLE!, good job butterfree now, to capture,then toss a masterball... and wait there saying I hope it works! and just stare at her ^_^

if she says no then say you cant its a master ball XD

LOL!

Honest answers is the only answers you will get from langurmonkey.
You should just be yourself because you shouldn't want a girl who can't appreciate you for you. BUT if you only want this girl and only this girl then continue reading.

I do not think she will respond positively to this unless she is the rare type of female who likes really shy guys. Find out what type of guy she likes. If she is like most girls, you need to ask her in a way that shows her, you have confidence. You say she is also a physical person? Then you should also be physical with her when asking her out. No notes. No Pokemon. Best wishes, mate.

It probably means she's planning to kill you.

Yes, that's all I have to contribute. :) Hope it goes well for you, though.

I edited my previous post.

I honestly think the Pokemon Idea is a good one, but so is face to face: IMO do it, but do it while your directly "there" like when you guys are hanging out or something.

secondly, as far as contact goes: shoulders works wonders. don't force the situation (that never ends well) but if you get the chance to: stand next her close enough that your shoulders / elbows / some part of the upper arm touch and talk to her.

it's affectionate, but not clingy, and personal, but not invasive, not to mention gets you into close talking range (major plus with the chickas) without the worries of blowing dinner in her face, seeming like your trying to kiss her, or getting distracted by the boobies.

Just ask her and don't worry/be nervous.
Women pick up on that. Pheromones and such...like wolves.
And just like wolves showing fear makes you an unsuitable mate. So be confident and talk to her like a person. Chicks like that.

Other than that just be normal. Every one of your ancestors managed to reproduce successfully so you've probably got a set of decent instincts(chances are if you've got an impulse in a given situation she does too. ex thinking "I should kiss her" shes probably going "he should kiss me" and if not its just a small misstep to laugh away unless you leap right to tier 15 like a fool) so just go with what you seem to get the feeling is the right thing to say or do at the time and try not to worry. unlike a scary wolf she probably won't bite you if you mess up. Remember she's a nice friendly human lady who at worst'll just say no. (And if it did come to a fight you probably outweigh her by like 50lbs with maybe 6 inches or so on her height so its unlikely you'd be in any real danger.)
So I'd say talk to her like a friend/normal person and just wing it. just ask her. You don't plan anything else and it usually works out. (She already likes you enough to spend time with you so why fix what ain't broke?) All planning does is get you so worked up over what you'd do if she declined you don't know what to say when she says yes.
_
-edit...actually don't 100% wing it. Its not good to plan too much of the act of asking but you still need to come up with an activity and a day and a good idea to have a backup or 2 in case she says yes to the date in general but not to that specific one (time or activity) without offering any alternatives("sure, but I'm busy friday how about saturday instead". or "I already saw that movie how about this other one").
You're the male as well as the one asking so that counts double for having to suggest something and not be wishywashy like "hey you wanna go out we can do something if you want" say "Do you want to go out? [day rough time]? We could [see specific movie]' If you say movie have something specific to suggest. Get a rough idea of the schedule. If you say food know a place. And I can't really tell your age(I'm feeling late highschool. Old enough that liking Pokemon is a quirky but endearing trait(so highschool to 30, but the asking says nearer highschool)) so if transportation is an issue like if you share a car with siblings work that out before hand.


So tldr:
IMO(your mileage may vary) You'll need to sketch out the date before hand. Don't really plan the asking. Be flexible and wing it more than not you'll get by well enough on reflexes and instinct. Thinking just gets in the way(slippery slope to over thinking) believe me. Don't be scared of her talk to her just like anybody else.
--
If you really can't tell you could maybe get away with a half step like coffee or burgers, "you wanna go grab lunch?" something you might do with a friend but still gets you and her alone so you can see what she assumed it was(hopefully she won't ask the rest of the gang to tag along but don't take it too badly if she does she may have just misread your meaning).. but its probably better just to ask straight out.

I think the Pokemon idea is extremely cool for something like asking her to prom or another once-a-year/once-a-lifetime thing with romantic undertones, but really lame for just asking her "out."

It could work as a creative valentine also if you had already developed some level of dating relationship.

Going out of your way to come up with something clever makes it seem like it's something monumental to you, which is not something you generally want when asking someone out on a date IMO. If she's thinking "Oh gosh, if I say 'yes' I'll never get rid of him" you've probably blown it.

Jeez.... stop over thinking this and ask her out already.If you don't make a move fast then you'll probably remain constricted to the friends zone FOREVER.You just need a few IOIs and after that you only need to assume interest.

Asking her out should be easy.Since you have already established comfort with her. All you have to do is man up and talk to her. Tell her that you would like to take her out for coffee(so it sounds casual) when your discussing pokemon or whatever.

I know! Can you sing? Learn the song "Misty" just like Johnny Mathis sings it, just like that. Have her be seated and you on your feet before her, gaze into her eyes and begin... "Look at me..."

When you are done, whatever she might have thought before will no longer matter. She will be madly in love with you. She will melt.

At this point, drop to one knee, bring out the ring and propose.

You can skip a whole lot of time and expense this way and just get right to the good part.

Come on! An attractive young woman who is fun to be with and best of all likes playing games like action games and RPGs (we'll let the pokemon slide). What is there to even think about? Just do it.

Let the pokemon slide? I don't know about you, but high level play on pokemon is relatively fun and deep, she's not the typical "AWWW PIKACHUS SO CUTE" Fan, She is more of the "I'm going to kick your ass with this pokemon here" fan. Which is entertaining.

Edit: I may have misread, but I figured you were trying to say the pokemon thing was probably just one of those rampant fangirl things that seems to be a trend (scene girls) these days. Lol

Either case, pokemon or no pokemon I'd definitely still be interested in her, For the sake she likes RPGS and action adventure titles alone. XD

Naw, I'm just an old man who doesn't get pokemon but I do get action games and RPGs. :D

You gotta admit, the rest of that is a pretty good idea.

I will admit that much xD

It looks like you've had plenty advice - I'm just going to wish you luck! (not that I think you'll need it, only that it can't hurt to have more of it!)
