Pumpkinking0192

Hi there. I'm pumpkinking0192, but you can also call me pumpkinking, pumpkin, Jack, David, or anything else you can come up with... I'm not picky, as long as I can tell that I'm the one to whom you're talking.

I mostly correct grammatical issues, links, templates and other aesthetic stuff. I'd much rather chop up someone else's writing and make it nice-looking than write it myself, so I won't be creating pages or sections much around here. Sometimes my edit summaries get pretty sarcastic; please don't take them personally. I'm just here to improve Bulbapedia and it's my way of letting off steam as I do so; if you're offended, I'm sorry, but let it go. I assure you, my frustration with bad grammar and style lasts only as long as it takes to fix it, and I have no ill will for you after that, so I hope your outrage at my sarcasm likewise dissipates quickly. There are more important things in life than pixels on a screen.

I passionately detest usertags, so for your convenience, here are some of the basic things I look for in others' usertag sections: I'm male. As of this edit, I'm currently 21 (born January 1992). I was born and raised in central Texas and currently live in southeast Texas. I'm a college senior majoring in English Literature with a minor in Journalism. My native language is English, and I also speak French at a (very) basic conversational level.

I am a frequent user of [http://gpxplus.net/user/pumpkinking0192 GPX Plus] and [http://veekun.com/ Veekun], but other than those two and Bulbapedia, I barely visit any Pokémon fansites. I'm a big fan of Fakemon, though, and am in the beginning stages of putting together a Fakemon dex/region of my own. You can see its progress on [http://bellestbattles.tumblr.com/ Tumblr].

For now, this space is primarily just here so that my username isn't a redlink anymore. I may pretty it up later, or I may not. Who knows.

My talk page is open to all; if you have something to say that's not Wiki-related, e-mail me through Bulbapedia or feel free to create an account on [http://forums.gtsplus.net/index.php? the GPX forums] and message me there (username pumpkinking0192).

Grammatical quibbles I periodically use the search function to systematically correct:
*'''where''' → '''in which''' (The former is not correct when talking about something that happened in a game/episode/etc.)
*'''typing''' → '''type''' or '''type combination''' ("Type" is only a verb when you're using your computer keyboard. In Pokémon, it's either a noun or part of an adjectival phrase such as "Fire-type moves".)
