Hi I'm Hikari10, I joined Bulbapedia on January 14th 2011. I've been a Pokéfan since the early days. The first game I've ever played is Pokémon Ruby, my starter was Mudkip (it happened to be female, which is rare). I then played Pearl (my starter was Piplup, male), Platinum (I chose Turtwig, male as my starter) and now SoulSilver (my starter was Cyndaquil, also male).When I play Black or White (possibly Black due to more female-based version-exclusives) I'm going to choose Oshawott as my starter. My brother has played Sapphire, Emerald, LeafGreen, Diamond and HeartGold (he chooses the Water-type starter every time). When he plays Black or White (for him, he likes White because of Zekrom, he hinted to me he'll continue his Water-type starter trend by choosing Oshawott. I like Oshawott because it's cute). If I was a Gym Leader, I'd specialise in the Water type.
