Aura-Knight

Just a Pokémon fan trying to help Bulbapedia out. Somtimes I jump the gun, and I'm sorry for that.

I don't understand Wikicode in the slightest, so apologies for the length of the usertags.

I first played Pokémon when I was five, and my YMCA group took a field trip to a park. I had finished running away from something when I bumped into some fifth grader about to play soccer. This kid was trying to level up his Dratini in Red at the Elite Four and quickly taught me how to play and ran off. After i died in five minutes, he came back and wouldn't let me touch it again. But after that I was hooked.

As I was six or so, I didn't beat any Pokémon game, but just blundered around and copied whatever team Ash had until Sapphire. By then, '''I''' was in fifth grade, and slowly rising in the school playground circuit with my Ninjask (''Speedy''), Metagross(''Megablast''), Dusclops(''Reaper''), Flygon(''Mystic''), Sceptile(''George'', as in the King of the Jungle), and Torkoal(''Volcano''). Unfortunately, I came across someone who hacked a Tyranitar (though with a legal moveset) and cleaned up my team with Bolt-Beam. Afterwards, I resorted to cheating and that cartridge became unplayable.

After that, I bought the later games, played them for a while, then boxed them and didn't really pick up the pastime until I found Serebii.net reporting on Diamond and Pearl. When they came out, I passed on Piplup (after hearing all of the Poochama references) and despite {{tt|Turtwig's name|I like Naetle much better}}, I chose it. I got a female and named her Gaia. By the time I had beat the game, I had found [[Pokérus]] at the Seven Stars Restraunt, and more importantly Bulbapedia, as well as Japanese episodes of the anime online, which I gravitated to after {{tt|Naruto began to annoy me|I remember three episodes, 90 minutes or so total which gave me; 60 minutes of flashbacks, 25 of shouting, and 5 of fighting...}}. By the time the Riolu special [[DP071]]/[[DP072]] aired, I had joined, and the rest is the rest.

I currently have one shiny, although I have never found one [[Red Gyarados|(other than a certain Gyarados)]]. My sister gave me a gold {{p|Geodude}} after she accidently deleted the gold {{p|Krabby}} I got from my brother, which I traded from a Rayquaza. I'm not interested in trades or battles, although when Platinum comes around and I rebuild my dream team, we can talk. 

I am also an avid Pikachu player in Brawl, and I am hoping to make it to a tournament soon.

Coincidently, I did something stupid in relation to [[Movie 12]]. Don't get me wrong, I have not been more eager to see a Pokémon movie since the first, but I was (to my understanding) the one to introduce, "Hey, it's a {{p|Pichu}}. Let's see, we got Dialga, so, it must be related to {{AP|Pikachu}}!" I have heard this so much in the days since, I meant only to throw out an idea, and it annoys me that some people are accepting it as fact...Still, ego's all in my head, right?
