Hey there. I'm AegeanKnight, and I've only recently join Bulbapedia. I'm a Korean-American, which makes me Korean by ethnicity but American by nationality. Hence, what I mostly do around here is adding or fixing Korean translations and romanizations.

History

A little history about myself if I may.

I first played Pokémon in 2004 or something, when I was only 5. My friends at school all had GameBoy consoles (one girl had two of each GameBoy generation, as well as Pokémon RGB, GSC, and RSE), so I kind of borrowed theirs and played around at lunch time. Eventually, my grandpa, who came for a visit from Korea, bought me a GameBoy Advance SP, as well as a copy of Pokémon FireRed. Of course, by that time I was fascinated by the franchise (I feel a little sorry for my grandpa, who passed away several years later, since all I did when I visited him was screw around with my Pokémon games). And that was the official start of my Pokémon life.

When Pokémon DP was near its release in America, I was eager to ask Mom for a copy. Luckily, I had a loose tooth that those damned dentists took away from me; I was furious at that because I couldn't put my tooth under my pillow. So instead, Mom took me to Target and got me a copy of Pokémon Diamond (a DS Lite as well).

I started getting bored of Kanto and Sinnoh, so I decided to ask for yet another Pokémon game, this time Pokémon Emerald. At first, I actually thought of getting Pokémon LeafGreen, because I really wanted a Sandshrew and a Bellsprout. So I rented one from GameStop. But while shopping at Circuit City, the moment I saw Rayquaza on a green box, I knew I had to buy that instead. So there's my third Pokémon game.

Of course, in between these games I also got Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team and Ranger. But honestly, I don't really want to talk about spin-off games^^

Anyway, in 2008, I came to Korea because of Dad's job. Back then, the only Pokémon games where DPPt, which, frankly, I didn't want to play much. So I had to make do with what I had.

About two years later, Dad introduced me to the R4, a wonderful (not to mention illegal :p) little chip of...wonder. He downloaded Pokémon Platinum and HGSS, and I almost literally knocked myself out playing them. Soon, I began to learn how ROMs work, and by the time Pokémon BW was out in Japan, I had both copies on my R4. Of course, later, I asked a friend in America to get me a copy of Pokémon White.

In 2012, when the 3DS was released, I asked Mom to get me one, as well as a few other games and most importantly, Pokémon White 2 (I had to work my ass off for it, though; I had to do well on the impending terms). After beating it a few times (with the help of Marriland Walkthroughs heheh), I started getting bored of Pokémon.

For two years from then, I had virtually "quit" Pokémon. Now, I got bored of life and started playing again; now I'm re-addicted. Of course, since Dad believes that ROMs are okay to use (because everyone else uses them), I have to download ROMs myself to play. Now, don't worry about legal issues, when I grow up I'm going to buy every main series Pokémon game (starting from Generation III) and two of each handheld console (GameBoy Advance, DS Lite, and the 3DS).

I have yet to play Pokémon XY, I'm still thinking whether or not I should.

So here I am now, a Pokémon fan (again), and I have to say, addictions aren't called so for no reason. They really do get people hooked.

Game Information

Type

I'm a Steel-type (because I'm a knight) and Dragon-type (because they're awesome) trainer, though I tend to make versatile teams just for the hell of it. And by versatile, not only do I train a wide range of types, but I also have my Pokémon learn many types of moves.

Pokémon

Of the Steel-types, I like Steelix, Scizor, Aggron, Metagross, Excadrill, and Bisharp. Of the Dragon-types, I like Dragonite, Altaria, Salamence, Garchomp, and Hydreigon. I also like Pidgeot, Gyarados, Crobat, Tyranitar, Mightyena, Swellow, Gardevoir, Gallade, Walrein, Staraptor, Krookodile, Zoroark, and Volcarona.

I generally don't like Legendary Pokémon, because they usually have signature moves with only 5PP, making it impossible to make an effective moveset for in-game. Not to mention that they hoard a lot of experience points. The Pokémon themselves are quite okay, though.
