'''Carmenstar97''' joined [[Bulbapedia]] on October 22, 2010, after using the website for weeks without joining. She enjoys playing the [[Version|Pokémon main series]] games, and believes the [[spin-off Pokémon games]] can be quite frustrating to play. When playing the games, she follows the same trend that [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] does in the anime: {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, and usually (but not always) {{t|Ground}}. At times, she may exclude one or more of the types she typically uses, depending on the [[Pokémon_(species)|Pokémon]] available in the game.

I wanted to learn more. I played {{v|Crystal}}, my first Pokémon game. I loved playing the game. The only thing that upset me was the feeling that the game was shouting at me, with Caps Lock seemingly turned on permanently. I then took a step back, playing {{v|Yellow}}. I loved walking around with [[Red's_Pikachu_(game)|Pikachu]], and I liked how all of the [[Starter Pokémon|starter Pokémon]] were given to you. Soon after that, I played {{v|Emerald}}. It was in this game that I discovered my first [[Shiny Pokémon|shiny Pokémon]]. It was a [[Level|level]] 6 {{p|Whismur}} in [[Rusturf Tunnel]]. I didn't know anything about shiny Pokémon, but I caught it anyways, because I knew it looked different. I only focused on two of my Pokémon: {{p|Blaziken}} and {{p|Altaria}}), and I regret doing that, as I barely beat the [[Elite Four (Hoenn)|Elite Four]] (I had to rely on {{p|Rayquaza}} to help me). I plan on replaying through Emerald with a much more balanced team.

While I watched the old episodes of Pokémon, my sister discovered [[Bulbapedia]]. She suggested I use the website to find some information on Pokémon. When I saw the website, I was confused at first. The first thing I saw was the countdown to the release of Pokémon Black and White. I didn't understand what the point of a countdown to a "random day" was. I used the website for anime purposes, and I loved how organized it was! There were specific colors for each specific type, and I especially loved how the top portion of each page had a little green, green being my favorite color. I lurked Bulbapedia for a while before joining. About 2 months after joining, I made my first edit, on December 25, 2010. Every now and then I edit pages, although they are usually minor edits. I am still getting to know my way around Bulbapedia. I still don't know how to redirect pages, but I'll find that out eventually. I enjoy helping out on Bulbapedia, and I hope for Bulbapedia to be more complete!
