Introduction
I'm Travis, but y'all can call me Trav. I'm 18 years old and in my fourth semester of college at CTC. I was pulled out of 6th grade in February 2003, and homeschooled from then on. I joined Bulbapedia in December 2008 and have used it since. I do have a rather large amount of user tags. I helped my brother Lance create an account on here.

TCG Info
Ever since the Pokémon TCG came out here (USA) in 1998 I've been playing/collecting the cards. I have used many deck types, all based upon my own strategies. Before I didn't know what 'deck archetypes' were; I now know that many of my decks were actually variations of those. I don't like to use deck archetypes--mine just end up being similar to deck archetypes. I am currently attending tournaments in 2009-10 POP Season; this is my first season! I have too many cards, and have spent way too much money on them! I have made several Fire type decks (Unlimited and Modified) revolved around doing big damage (Blaziken ex or Charizard) and recycling the Fire Energy (Heatran LV.X). One of my two current tournament decks, Speed Flare, uses Shaymin LV.X; I have never seen a deck like this one. My other deck is called Garlade. This deck was actually based on my home deck PsyStorm; which used Lake Trio LV.X and "Psychic Connect" Gardevoir to keep energy on Mesprit LV.X. PsyStorm wasn't the best, so, I ditched Mesprit and Azelf. I altered the Gardevoir LV.X line and later added Gallade. People told me that this was "GG". Turns out that this type of deck was used in Worlds couple years back!

Games
I started playing the handheld games in November 2008 when I bought Pokémon Pearl, which is my main game. I'm a collector and an expert on Pokémon. I have obtained Master Rank in all Super Contests on my Arbok and Azelf. ***All my CATCHABLE Sinnoh Legendaries are in Dusk Balls.***

Time: 431 hrs
Trainer Card: Gold
Badges: 8

Action Replay
I do have an Action Replay; use it little though. I actually have only used a few Masterballs in the game (later I bred them or caught them in other Balls), I prefer to actually 'catch' them. I simply cheated some items, different Poké Balls, and berries to make the game more fun. With college and all I don't have time to spend hours and hours searching for these items and growing/watering berries.
