Introduction
I'm Travis, but y'all can call me Trav. I'm 18 years old and in my third semester of college at CTC. I've been homeschooled since February 2003. 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 so check him out.
TCG And Games
Ever since the Pokémon TCG came out here (USA) in 1998 I've been playing/collecting the cards. I have only played in one official tournament (2009 Supreme Victors Prerelease, Tyler, Texas), but I got 1st place in the Master's Division! I am going into the 2009-10 POP Tournament series with Damage Manipulation, hopefully to the Worlds. I have at least 6,500 cards; I have spent way too much money on the TCG!!
I started playing the handheld games in November 2008 when I bough 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.***
Specific TCG Info
Like I said before I have been playing since 1998. I have used many deck types, all based upon my own strategies. In mid-2009 I found out what 'deck archetypes' were; I have now realized that many of my decks were actually variations of those. I have made several 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 most powerful decks (both are Modified format) is Supreme Fire; which I thought up from scratch using Infernape LV.X, Infernape 4 LV.X, and Ninetales line. My current deck, and best, was also thought up from scratch; Damage Manipulation (I could change it's name though). This deck has had a big history; having the lines of Dusknoir LV.X, Gengar (Sf), Gengar LV.X, Giratina LV.X, and Gallade 4 LV.X. This deck was never based upon any deck archetypes--I thought them up myself. But after reading on here I found out about 'deck archetypes' and realized that it has fallen under Dusknoir variants and Mother Gengar.

Action Replay
I do have an Action Replay; use it little though. The ONLY Pokémon I cheated is Arceus (which I will find a way to obtain real). 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.
