 ====About Me====
-My name is Evan, but I go by evkl online, all lowercase.  I've been working on Bulbagarden since Archaic took over in December of 2002, first working on the forums and later serving as the first Editor-in-Chief of Bulbapedia. I was the head of the Forums from 2006-ish until January of 2011, when I became Chief of Staff of Bulbagarden.  Since 2012 I've been one of the Vice Webmasters of the site, overseeing high-level operations.  I currently live and work in the NYC area.

I was the head of the Forums from 2006-ish until January of 2011, when I became one of the Chiefs of Staff of Bulbagarden.  I alternate between being highly active and somewhat inactive, but I always respond if you call my name (or write on my talk page.)
-I've been playing Pokémon since I was 9, so that's quite a while ago.  I've played multiple games in every Generation, although I've played less as time has gone on - other commitments took over and I think the quality of the series has been on a general gradual decline (which does not lessen my affection for the franchise or the work I do for Bulbagarden.)
+I've been playing Pokémon since I was 9, which at this point is [[Generation I|quite a while ago.]]  I've played multiple games in every Generation, although I've played less as time has gone on - other commitments demand my time more and more.  I've returned to the series with Pokémon Go and, especially, Let's Go Eevee and Sword.
-On other personal notes, I think knowledge is very important.  I also think music is very important.  Those two aren't really related at all, I'm just saying.  On the knowledge front, I think Bulbapedia is a very good thing, as a specialized repository for knowledge that otherwise wouldn't be aggregated anywhere else.  And learning in general is really good, and you should do your homework before you make edits on 'Pedia.  On the music front, if you're talking to me, expect an away message or signature or something involving an obscure reference to music or lyrics.  Or maybe not-so-obscure.  [[wp:Katy Perry|Katy Perry]] is cool with me.  Music is complex and relaxing--and we're missing both in our lives a lot.
+====My Role on Bulbapedia====
+I'm a mediator, adviser, and creative consultant to the current Bulbapedia [[Bulbapedia:Editorial Board|Editorial Board]].  If you have a problem or need help with something, feel free to contact me; I'll do my best to try and fix it.  Don't feel like you're intruding or bothering me.  I like to help.
