I'm a [[Nintendo]] fan since 1988, when I first played [[wp:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]. I instantly fell in love with anything Nintendo-related, ranging from its hardware to the games produced for its systems, and have owned every Nintendo home and handheld system since then, as well as a large collection of [[wp:Nintendo Power|Nintendo magazines]] of the official [[wp:Latin America|Latin American]] edition. | I'm a [[Nintendo]] fan since 1988, when I first played [[wp:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]].

I've loved the [[wp:Mario|Mario]], [[wp:Donkey Kong (series)|DK]], and [[wp:The Legend of Zelda (series)|TLoZ]] game series since the beginning, and that's why I got excited when [[Super Smash Brothers|Super Smash Bros.]] was released. Until that time, I didn't know anything about Pokémon except for the [[EP038|Porygon incident]], the [[Pokémon anime|animé]], and the fact that there were dozens of Pokémon [[Pokémon#Species|species]] around, each with a [[Elemental type|type]] and a weird name. But the presence of {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, and other Pokémon in that game woke up my interest for this wonderful universe. There's when I arose. | I've loved the [[wp:Mario|Mario]], [[wp:Donkey Kong (series)|DK]], and [[wp:The Legend of Zelda (series)|TLoZ]] game series since the beginning, and that's why I got excited when [[Super Smash Brothers|Super Smash Bros.]] was released.

I consider myself a born Pokémon fan rather than a made one. I've always liked teams and crossovers of assorted-superpower heroes or gifted beings. A pre-Pokémon drawing of mine shows a {{p|Poliwrath}}-like electric being, and with the help of flexible building blocks I once build a team of "double-type" animal-like creatures, such as a [[Fire (type)|fire]]/[[Fighting (type)|fighter]] ''humanoid rooster head'' and a [[Poison (type)|poison]]/[[Grass (type)|plant]] ''scorpion/chameleon hybrid''. | I consider myself a born Pokémon fan rather than a made one.

[[File:178.png|frame|center|Xatu]] | |||
'''Xatu''' is similar to me. Short in size, serious, and easily in trance for remembering things from the past and thinking hard in the future. Its totemic design is cool, and it's also a bird Pokémon, and I like birds. Notable Xatu I've had are '''Inco''', whom I caught as a {{p|Natu}} in [[Ruins of Alph|Johto]], and '''Johans''', the result of evolving the Natu I snagged in [[Pre Gym|Orre]]. | '''Xatu''' is similar to me.

[[File:257.png|frame|center|Blaziken]] | |||
'''Blaziken''' and its evolution family are based on [[wp:Chicken|chickens]], my favorite animal in the real world. I've had [[wp:Rooster|roosters]] as pets since I was a child, and I had always hoped for a Fighting-type chicken Pokémon to appear. I took for sure its another type would have been {{t|Flying}} or {{t|Ground}}, but Fire makes sense since chickens are always warm. The only Blaziken I've had is '''Piolindo''', whom I received from [[Professor Birch]] as a {{p|Torchic}} and was named after the very first rooster pet I had in the real life. | '''Blaziken''' and its evolution family are based on [[wp:Chicken|chickens]], my favorite animal in the real world.

[[File:Spr 4d 062 s.png|frame|center|Poliwrath]] | |||
Many real-world months after finishing [[Pokémon Gold]], I was walking by [[Route 28]], likely to train a few Pokémon so that they could enter the [[Johto League|Pokémon League]]. I came across a beautiful alternate-colored {{p|Poliwhirl}} while surfing on one of the ponds. I was nervous as this was the very first alternate-colored Pokémon I had ever found in the wild, not counting the [[Red Gyarados]]. If I'm not mistaken, I used a [[Status#Paralysis|paralyzing]] move and a [[Great Ball]]. I loved this catch! Since I already had a {{p|Politoed}} in my team (another of my favorite Pokémon), even though Politoed's alternate coloration appeals a lot to me, I decided to give [[Protein]] and [[Iron]] to this new friend of mine, I gave it [[Physical move|Physical-based moves]], and used a [[Water Stone]] on it. | Many real-world months after finishing [[Pokémon Gold]], I was walking by [[Route 28]], likely to train a few Pokémon so that they could enter the [[Johto League|Pokémon League]].

Not only was Poliwhirl known as [[Satoshi Tajiri|Tajiri]]'s favorite Pokémon<sup>[citation needed]</sup> at that time, but also Poliwrath was very reminiscent of the creature I once drew when I was a teenager, so this was a very special Pokémon to me. Fighting type matches my character as much as the short and defying appearance of Poliwrath. I nicknamed it '''Brincon''', which is a Spanish word for "bully" or "trouble seeker". | Not only was Poliwhirl known as [[Satoshi Tajiri|Tajiri]]'s favorite Pokémon<sup>[citation needed]</sup> at that time, but also Poliwrath was very reminiscent of the creature I once drew when I was a teenager, so this was a very special Pokémon to me.

[[File:Spr 4d 278 s.png|frame|center|Wingull]] | |||
While surfing on Routes [[Route 108|108]] and [[Route 109|109]], I found this cute green-striped Wingull with a level between 10 and 15. This was obviously an easy alternate-colored Pokémon to come across with, because you can always find lots of wild Wingull in the [[Hoenn]] routes. However, as a fan of birds in the real world, I decided to be proud of having caught it. | While surfing on Routes [[Route 108|108]] and [[Route 109|109]], I found this cute green-striped Wingull with a level between 10 and 15.

[[File:Spr 4d 184 s.png|frame|center|Azumarill]] | |||
I'm so lucky! In June 2007, while searching for rare Pokémon at the [[Great Marsh]] of Sinnoh, I came across a beautiful green-colored Marill among all the random common Pokémon you can find there. At the Great Marsh or any other [[Safari Zone|Safari Game zone]], there's always the chance that you'll fail to catch the Pokémon if you don't master the use of items such as [[Pokéblock]]s, bait, rocks, or mud. I decided to try just using my Safari Ball, and guess what? I caught it on the first try! A very nice green Marill that I was decided to train despite having other Water-type Pokémon in my team (I had never trained a Marill before); plus the only other pure Water-type was Manaphy, and I felt I had to train a non-legendary one. Thankfully, its [[Ability]] matched what I wanted. | |||
The level of this Marill was high enough when I caught it; so, after giving it a few [[vitamin]]s, I made it evolve into a gorgeous golden Azumarill, who became a regular in my main team in the game, and accompanied me all the way until [[Pokémon League (Sinnoh)|the Pokémon League]], when it proudly entered the [[Hall of Fame]]. | |||
