Unless stated otherwise, my edits are my own thoughts and not reflective of the opinion of the administration as a whole; if I am utilizing administrative authority (which I typically avoid doing), I will indicate as such. If I make an edit or talk page comment that you disagree with, I encourage you to challenge me on it (although I'm notoriously bad at keeping up-to-date on my talk page). Note that this only applies to me and has no implications on how other staff members utilize their authority.

==History==
==History==
Now, I know nobody usually cares about these things, but I feel obligated to include it. Feel free to skip to the sections below (not that I could stop you anyway).
I've been a part of the online Pokémon fandom since 2007, when I joined the Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden forums; however, I was a Pokémon fan long before that. It wasn't until late 2009 when I joined Bulbapedia, at which point I started by editing parts of {{bp|Project GlitchDex}}. The first article I edited was [[list of glitch moves]], because I saw that there were glitch Pokémon missing from the learnlists that were listed to learn those glitch moves on their own pages. I then ended up going through all the glitch Pokémon articles and updating them into the newest style. I eventually began to edit other articles outside of that region, and now I'm an all-round editor (although I focus on the Pokémon games). I ended up splitting the minor glitches section of [[glitch]] into its own article, [[list of minor glitches]], because it was getting edited so much and getting quite long. Since then, that list grew to such a proportion that I split it into lists of glitches by generation. Now I lead Project GlitchDex, and know of a lot of glitches that need to be documented here that aren't that I keep meaning to get around to. I do a lot of different things around the wiki though.

I ended up splitting the minor glitches section of [[glitch]] into its own article, [[list of minor glitches]], because it was getting edited so much and getting quite long. Now I maintain it, and it remains a very comprehensive source for glitches in all Pokémon games. Having said that, I have plans for it in the future. Also regarding glitches, due to the new method of obtaining glitch Pokémon, the [[Johto guard glitch]], there is still a huge need of glitch Pokémon articles, and restorations of articles deleted back in late 2009 needing cleanup to change them from being cheat-only to available. There is also the still-under-research [[remaining HP glitch]], which should allow the remaining Generation I glitch Pokémon to be obtained. Now I lead Project GlitchDex, and am currently bogged down in work related to it.
I was promoted to temporary Junior Admin during the Japanese release of Pokémon Black and White in 2011 to help with updating pages during the lockdown. After the lock was lifted, my powers became permanent, and I became a true Junior Administrator. In early January 2011, I found that I was trusted on the Archives as well, and had been given Junior Administrator rights. In March 2011, I was promoted to Admin on Bulbapedia, then on the Archives too shortly after. Less than a week after my Archives promotion, I was given as staff position on Bulbanews during the staff restructure—Writer. In early May 2011, I was appointed Project GlitchDex Leader (after applying for it). In September 2011, I was promoted to a Senior Adminstrator on the Archives. In November 2011, I was promoted to a Senior Writer on Bulbanews. In December 2011, I was promoted to a Senior Administrator on Bulbapedia, making me a Bulbawiki Senior Citizen, a self-coined term, and apparently shared with {{u|Bikini Miltank}}. In April 2012, I was promoted to member of the {{n|Bulbanews:Board of editors|Bulbanews board of editors}}, which also resulted in me getting moderator powers in the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f280/ Bulbanews forum] on the forums. In June 2012, I was promoted to member of the [[a:Archives:Advisory Council|Archives Advisory Council]]. In August 2012, I was promoted to a Bureaucrat on Bulbapedia, so now I have to learn how to spell it. In August 2014, I was promoted to Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Bulbanews and BulbaNewsNOW Editor.


I like writing articles about little-known Pokémon games, such as [[Pokémon mini]] games, Sega Pico and Beena games (like [[Pokémon Advanced Generation: I've Begun Hiragana and Katakana!]]), Perdue farms games (like [[Pokémon Team Rocket Blast Off]]), and [[PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS]]. If I mentioned a game (or group of games) you've never heard of, then I am very happy that I was able to show you it.
==Useful tools for wiki editing==
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser AutoWikiBrowser] - excellent external semi-automated editor, great for mass edits
* [http://archive.org/web/web.php Wayback Machine] - one of the most invaluable wiki editing tools, it allows you to access old versions of webpages or sites that aren't even online anymore
* [http://archive.is/ Archive.is] - on-demand archives, for pages you expect to go down that Wayback Machine hasn't captured
* [http://textmechanic.com/ Text Mechanic] - a bunch of text manipulation tools that are great for edits involving replacing text or templates
* [http://www.diffchecker.com/ Diff checker] - compares two pieces of text without requiring you to save an edit
* [http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ Down for everyone or just me?] - checks if websites are down (use in combination with Wayback Machine)
* [http://pcn.loc.gov/isbncnvt.html ISBN converter] - for converting between ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 (adds "978-" to the start of ISBN-10); also checks if ISBN has a valid checksum and inserts hyphens (use in combination with [[Special:BookSources]])

===Image tools===
* [http://www.pngoptimizer.com/ PNG optimizer] - if an image's filesize is too big to be uploaded to the Archives
* [http://tinypng.org/ PNG lossy compression] - if an image's filesize is too big to be uploaded to the Archives (use only if the optimizer does not make it small enough)


Also, I quite often participate in [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance|NIWA]]. I'm active on the forums, and have an account at every member site. I am even a Lead Editor on [[Nookipedia]]. Also, those interwiki redirects, like [[Link]] and [[Peach]], are my doing. I encourage all editors to link to NIWA members over Wikipedia where applicable.
===Tools for times and dates===
* [http://www.timeanddate.com/ timeanddate.com] - many tools for dealing with times and timezones


I'm SnorlaxMonster in the Dream World, on server 3. You can find more info on making targeted Dream Pal requests [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f323/how-make-dream-pals-2-a-109976/ here]. In fact, I'm SnorlaxMonster pretty much everywhere, so you should recognize me easily.
===Tools for Japanese===
 
* [http://jisho.org/ Jisho.org] - excellent online dictionary
If you want to talk to me casually (non-wiki stuff) or in private you can [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/member.php?u=12490 send me a PM on the forums], or [[Special:EmailUser/SnorlaxMonster|send me an email]]. If you think I have done something wrong, I appreciate civil constructive criticism. I would rather have friends than enemies, but I also like a good friendly debate. I always try to assume good faith, perhaps even too often.
* [http://kanji.sljfaq.org/ Handwritten kanji search] - great for unknown kanji

==Shiny stories==
All {{pkmn2|wild}} [[Shiny Pokémon]] I have ever encountered (obviously discounting [[red Gyarados]]) have been in the [[Safari Zone]]. Not only that, but the only Safari Zone that I haven't encountered a Shiny in is the [[Great Marsh]], which isn't even a real Safari Zone.
* [[Kanto Safari Zone]] — {{p|Paras}} (caught) and {{p|Exeggcute}} (failed)
* [[Johto Safari Zone]] — {{p|Cubone}} (failed)
* [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] — {{p|Stantler}} (caught)
Also, I encountered that Exeggcute with '''1 [[Safari Ball]] left'''. I threw it, but it escaped and I was kicked out.<br>Also, I have a Shiny Gyarados clone from my friend who caught it as a {{p|Magikarp}} in Sapphire. That is why I was hoping that the guaranteed red Gyarados would have some kind of difference to other Shiny ones, but it didn't.
