Pokémon is one of my hopeless obsessions, hence the reason I like helping out here.
I can't honestly say that I remember when I first really started getting into Pokémon, but my very first game was Pokémon Ruby. I was really young when I first started playing and I didn't know how to do anything, but I have since then gotten a lot better and I am now acquainted with this concept of IV-breeding and EV-training. What? There's actual math behind Pokémon battles? How about that. After a while, I began actively paying attention to my Pokémon's stats and IVs and I finally got truly good* at making competitive Pokémon in Omega Ruby, where I now spend much of my time battling other people online via the Battle Spot. I also play the Pokémon Ranger and Mystery Dungeon games.
It's debatable whether I'm a bigger fan of the anime or the games. I've seen every main series episode of the anime and I've been making sure to watch each new episode as soon as possible. I still haven't seen all of the Chronicles yet, but I have seen all of the movies. I love the anime. It's a lot of fun and although I do like other animes, I like that Pokémon isn't as graphic (or sometimes just plain disturbing) as others can be. My favorite episode is Pikachu's Goodbye and my favorite characters include Misty, James, Max, Cilan, Iris, Clemont, and Bonnie. I like all of the main characters, actually. I'd just say that those are my favorites.
I have been keeping just as much up-to-date with the manga as I have with the anime and games. Oh, don't I wish. I love the manga, but unfortunately there are a lot of chapters I have yet to read. Maybe I'll catch up on that someday. Of the manga chapters that I have read, my favorite is RS and my favorite characters are Ruby, Sapphire, and Black. My favorite Pokémon in the manga is Feefee.
Me and Bulbapedia
I joined Bulbapedia back in December of 2012, when I was one of those new users that just added random bits of trivia or asked questions that didn't really need to be asked if I actually did my research before asking the question. But I've gotten better... I think. As of late, I've tended to focus on the anime articles more than anything else, although I contribute wherever I see something that needs editing.
I try to be as nice as I can when I interact with other users. It's very easy for people to misunderstand each other while communicating online, so I tend to be very conscious about what I post for the public to see. If you ever feel like I'm being a jerk, please let me know, because I definitely do not want to come across that way!
Just in case this is needed - if you see something on one of my to-be-mainspaced user subpages that needs fixing, don't bother asking unless it's a major change. Any and all help catching and fixing mistakes is much appreciated.
If you want to talk to me about non-Bulbapedia related things, look for me on the forums.
Video game stuff
In Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, my best character is by far Ness. My second best character is Luigi, but the difference in my skill level between the two of them is huge.
My favorite video game is Metroid Fusion, but I haven't played any other Metroid games to completion except for that one.
My other video game interests include Phoenix Wright, Harvest Moon, the Legend of Zelda, Sonic (sort of), Super Smash Bros., and Mario.

You probably shouldn't put your cursor over this sentence...
