My real name is Christine, though I prefer being called Darke (or Dark, as some in the past have called me). I've been a fan of Pokémon since 1998, when I first got Yellow Version along with a GameBoy Color. That game was the first video game I got to call my own, and it had me hooked. For the most part, I just strove to beat the Elite Four as fast as I could, but as time has progressed, I've grown to appreciate all of the various species of Pokémon, no matter how much [[Probopass (Pokémon)|some of them]] may creep me out, so now it's my goal to complete the Pokédex. The closest I've ever come to that was about 138 Pokémon in Yellow Version, and 470 in Diamond Version... and now we currently have over 600 of them to catch. Just keeps getting better every time, eh?

Though I tend to train a variety of Pokémon, I do have a slight bias towards {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Dark}}, and {{t|Flying}} Types, along with cute base-stage Pokémon such as {{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Minccino}}. I've also had a liking towards Pokémon with unusual type combinations ever since Generation I, where the {{p|Kabuto}} line piqued my interest. This continued into Generation II, where I immediately fell in love with {{p|Sneasel}} and the {{p|Chinchou}} line, all the way through Generation IV with {{p|Rotom}}. This trend is already continuing into Generation V with the introduction of {{p|Victini}} and {{p|Hitomoshi}}, and I wouldn't have a single problem if it continued well beyond that. Admittedly, unique type combinations can get put at a disadvantage in competition sometimes, but to quote [[Karen]], "Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best."

So, ultimately, who cares if your Vileplume could kick my Kabutops into next week? Chances are, I'll have a few tricks up my sleeves to counteract it.
