(You seem to underuse commas, buddy. By the way -- I write down my Pokémon's names and genders, too. XD)

Hello all, and welcome to my userpage. Here, I will write about all aspects of my life (well, mostly the Pokémon-related stuff).  There will probably be a lot here, so for a briefer idea of me, just look at my usertags.  Feel free to edit any grammar or spelling mistakes you see here.

Well, I'm a guy living in Ottawa, Ontario, the capital of Canada.  My first language was English, but I've gone to French school my entire life so I speak it very well.  That's probably even more than most of you want to know about me (or at least more than you should want to what you should want to know), so let's get to what you probably all want to know about.

I've been a fan of the Pokémon games ever since I was five years old, and they remain the area of the franchise in which I am the most interested so this section will probably be rather lengthy.

====General information====
As you will no doubt notice over the course of this section, I always choose the male character and always name him after me (except in Colosseum and XD where I used two variations of a common shortened form of my name).  I have always chosen the Blue-er version when faced with pairs (except Pokémon Mystery Dungeon where I rented Red Rescue Team in order to free up the DS for my brother who rented Lost Magic or something).  The habit of Blue-er games also creeped into other franchises such as Mega Man Battle Network.  I nickname all of my Pokémon (except for the ones I don't intend to keep) usually in all caps though there are some exceptions.  When restarting Pokémon games I also have a habit of writing down the nicknames and genders of all my Pokémon so I can get them similar ones all over again.  Also, since Sapphire, I've always attempted to catch every Pokémon, with one of both genders whenever possible, and always starting with the lowest evolutionnary stage, catching them in the wild whenever possible.  My teams are also always made up of six Pokémon whose family were all introduced in the generation of that region who can evolve at least once which are generally found fairly early in the game.  I will post all of my teams here using the party template wherever I remember enough about them to justify it.  I'm not really a competitive battler and I'm happy with my teams as they are, so any criticism probably won't be heeded. However, I think it might be interesting to see what kind of Pokémon, moves, or nicknames you want to suggest to me, so feel free to do so.

My first Pokémon game, I got it for Christmas many years ago.  I had owned a guidebook for various Game Boy games before playing it that happened to touch on Red and Blue so I was rather ready for the challenges ahead of me.

This is where it gets interesting, I once again picked Charmander and nicknamed it CHAR.  Unfortunately, the two of us together were no match against Brock and I ended up catching a Pidgey, somehow, in a childish way, thinking that the little Flying-type would be super-effective against the Rock-types.  "Pidge" couldn't do very much though and I ended up training it extensively in that big square-shaped patch of grass outside of Pewter City.  I didn't end up using Char very much and it stayed a Charmeleon for the rest of the game.  Pidge eventually growing into a level 100 Pidgeot.  It would eventually be joined by a Gengar whose nickname I cannot recall due to the fact that it was an impronouncable jumble of the letters of the names Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar which I pronouced as "Gengshlaar" and the Silph Co. Lapras which I nicknamed La.  Pidge would be my main battler since Quick Attack made it fast enough to KO anything it came across (including the Legendary Birds which I only saw as more training though I did get Zapdos for my PokéDex when my cousin traded me his momentarily in order to evolve my Haunter).  In the end, I did catch Mewtwo in the Master Ball and started trying to level it up with the Exp. All near Viridian City.  In other words, this was as much of my final team as I can remember:

====Generation II====
I kind of skipped this Gen., although several of my friends have one.  One of them actually went to the same babysitter as I did.  I was so involved with my friend's game that it could almost be considered one of mine (although you might notice that I didn't include the user tag).  The two of us decided to attempt to catch all the Unown.  One day I didn't really want to look for any more so he took my Blue game and, as a mock threat, he started releasing some of my Pokémon.  I wouldn't have been upset as he had no intention of saving but he switched PC boxes which, in Gen I, saved the game deleting most of my Pokémon (including my three prized level 100s) which would later cause me to restart Blue.  We did end up catching all the Unown and completing all the game's side quests but that was the closest I ever got to owning a Gen II game.

I had borrowed Colosseum from a friend (the same one I bugged about Hoenn) a long time ago. Eventually, I ended up finding an old copy in a store.  I didn't want to make a set team for the Orre games, since you never really know what Shadow Pokémon you'll get next, and decided to train them all.  I work on all of the Pokémon equally, training them first in order of purification, then level, then order of capture.  Unfortunately, this didn't leave them very advanced as far as levels go and they have yet to beat Nascour, I'll probalby keep trying at some point though.

I got this game the first day it came out and still play it occasionally to this day.  I continued my team-selection and training methods from Sapphire and still try to get male/female of every possible Pokémon.  This has also led to massive breedings in order to get females of things such as starters and other Pokémon that are mostly male (although this has helped me fill my Ranch a little more).  As well as the fact that I always pick the blue-er game, my choice was helped when I saw Palkia in an ad for Battle Revolution and found it hideous.  I continued to choose the Fire-type starter though it should be noted that I plan on taking Chikorita in any Johto game I play.

I atually bought this Ranger game as I wanted to make sure that I would be able to get the Darkrai from it... and I did. :D  I also made sure to fully complete the game: completing the Browser, and Capture arena as well as leaving myself in Chicole Villa with what I considered the "ultimate team" which I will post here soon.
