{{User:Umeko/Header}}Funny story about my userpage! When I made it, I designed it to be viewable to people with 800x600 resolution... but I failed to take into account the Bulbapedia sidebar on the left. orz. <small>...And apparently it still doesn't fit within 800px even without the sidebar.  <small>......And it stretches off the page for 1024x768 res, too.  <small><small>Oops.</small></small></small></small>

 

I might take the time to fix that... someday. D8<br /><small>(If you're still using 640x480 resolution, jesus christ get with the times that shit is ooooooold.)</small>

:Hey! My name is Umeko — not my real name, just what I go by on the interbutts. I'm 23 years old and I'm a (currently unemployed) game developer (I got a degree and everything!). This means that I can spend all my free time playing video games and it's totally worthwhile.

 

:I am actually currently developing an original game of my own but none of you are interested in that.

:LOLZ I CAN SPEAK NIHONGO BAKA KAWAII NEKO SUSHI OMG ^____^

:Oh god I can't believe I typed that.

:Seriously though?  I've got a pretty good handle on the language — note the ja-3 usertag. I guess ja-3 isn't ''completely'' true when it comes to actually speaking Japanese — I'm probably closer to ja-2 in that case — but I'm pretty close to fluent at reading and writing, which is all that matters on the internet, really!  But officially, I've only taken levels 4 and 3 of the JLPT - and passed both (got a 100% on the level 3 kanji/vocab section! \o/).

:And I realize that I totally could have not mentioned any of that and no one would be any the wiser. Guess I'm too truthful for my own good.

:Yay for me?

:Nowadays I don't really do much for Pokemon fandom — really all I do is occasionally write fanfiction (usually game or Special canon, though there are [http://www.gekidasa.com/main.php?page=hat some totally ridiculous exceptions]), and every so often I do some good-natured trolling.

:I also occasionally do some Japanese-to-English translation of whatever catches my fancy, most notably [http://egg-in-oven.hp.infoseek.co.jp/dexgen/?p=&l=en The Anything-Goes Pokedex].  (This might be a good place to note that I tend to hang around the Japanese fandom, so I tend to favor Japanese character names and such, simply because I'm more used to them. orz)

:I don't really consider myself a shipper, but I do have a few ships that I absolutely adore.  I won't vehemently insist that OMG THERE LUV IZ SO CANON!!!!11 or anything though — which is just as well because even if I DID want to start up a ship war, it would just be me up against everyone else.  Take a look at my shipping usertags to see for yourself. :P →

:Nothing really noteworthy.  I'm a n00b.

:...yeah, I still stand by that.

:Oh but somehow I became a Junior Admin. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3330177/emot-iiam.gif

 

:Prior to the English release of HGSS, I translated a bunch of the new Pokedex entries for 3rd and 4th-gen Pokemon, as sort of temporary placeholders.  That's over and done with now, though, for obvious reasons.

 

:I translate other random stuff too, because I enjoy it. (Song lyrics are especially fun, see the next section.)  I also take translation requests, so if there's anything you need translated from Japanese for the 'pedia, hit me up.

 

:When it comes down to it, no one cares who created what pages so what's the point in making a "pages I made" list?

:If you have any requests for what I should translate next, go ahead and tell me, I guess.  I can't guarantee that I'll get to it right away, because there are some songs that I really don't enjoy too much, but I'll see what I can do!
