'''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. When battling, she does not care for [[Status move|status moves]], as she believes they are a waste of a turn, and prefers to make the opposing Pokémon [[Fainting|faint]] right away.

==History as a Pokémon Fan==
==History as a Pokémon Fan==
I don't quite remember my early days as a Pokémon fan, as I was very young. I started out watching the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], and I loved it. I believe I started watching the anime around the end of the [[Original series|original series]], as I have a faint memory of {{an|Misty}} traveling with [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]]. I do remember {{an|May}} traveling with Ash. Some of the episodes I remember watching are [[AG005|In the Knicker of Time!]], [[AG007|Tree's a Crowd]], [[AG009|Taming of the Shroomish]], [[AG010|You Said a Mouthful!]], and [[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]. I stopped watching the anime after [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|the ninth season]] started, because I didn't have [[Cartoon Network]]. My days as a Pokémon fan were pretty much over.

Then came one day in late August 2010, when I had nothing to do. So, what did I end up doing? I watched some of the first Pokémon episodes! I never would've guessed that I was soon to become a huge fan of Pokémon. And so, I wound up becoming one. I became so obsessed with it, that I did a whole bunch of research on it. I found out that there was Pokémon games, and surprisingly, I had never known about the games. In the course of about a month, I had watched [[List of anime episodes|every single episode]] that had aired, including [[Banned episodes|the banned ones]].

I wanted to learn more. I played {{v|Crystal}}, my first Pokémon game, and I loved it. 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 {{ho|Elite Four}} (I had to rely on {{p|Rayquaza}} to help me). I am currently replaying through Pokémon Emerald with {{p|Mudkip}} as my starter Pokémon.

Then came the games on the [[Nintendo DS]]. I enjoyed the touch screen features. I played {{v|Platinum}}, and I have dedicated the most time on this game (300+ hours). I felt the most satisfied with this game, and I loved my team. After giving up on my Platinum game, I played [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]]. I really enjoy this game. The seasons are a nice addition. The only problem I have with this game is that I can't get {{p|Reshiram}} without [[Trade|trading]]. I will buy the English version of Pokémon White when it comes out.
