Rockersk08 originally skipped over {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, getting {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed|s}} in December 2005, his stepbrother getting {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|LeafGreen|s}}. He once again chose Charmander as his starter, and he found FireRed much harder but more rewarding. After switching out his team, he raised his first non-legendary team to level 100: {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Machamp}}, {{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Arcanine}}. He eventually imported the team to his {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Diamond|s}} card, updated with [[Generation IV]] moves. He did get ahold of Ruby, Sapphire, and {{v2|Emerald}}, merging all the Pokémon onto Diamond. He did, however, chose {{p|Torchic}} as his starter for Sapphire. | Rockersk08 originally skipped over {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, getting {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed|s}} in December 2005, his stepbrother getting {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|LeafGreen|s}}.

Rockersk08 is currently working on [[Generation IV|the fourth generation games]], having acquired {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} as well as the remakes {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. For the [[Sinnoh]] games, he raised all three teams to level 100. Although {{p|Dialga}} was on Diamond, it marked the first instance where he has raised starter Pokémon to level 100, let alone all three Sinnoh starters. Since he found out about [[Effort Values]], he undertook a massive project to raise many competitive Pokémon to level 50 for future battles. Shortly after that, he took six Pokémon from that project, incorporating all four generations, and raised them to level 100 with Effort Values for his first competitive team. He retraced his roots with HeartGold, taking some of his EV Pokémon and creating a Johto team, raising it and his original starter Typhlosion to level 100.

With the [[Johto]] remakes and the Flat Battle settings, he looks forward to many competitive battles and the next generation. | ||

Rockersk08's first contribution was the synopsis to ''[[AG072|The Bicker The Better]]'' on October 22nd, 2008. He also joined {{bp|Project Anime}}, which has been his primary focus. His first created page was for [[Monopoly: Pokémon Edition (1999)|the 1999 Pokémon Monopoly board game]] on January 12th, 2009.

His first created page was for [[Monopoly: Pokémon Edition (1999)|the 1999 Pokémon Monopoly board game]] on January 12th, 2009. As of July 17th, 2010, he has written seventy-three episode summaries and plans to write more. He received the {{bp|Golden Bulbasaur Award}} on June 6th, 2009 for service between February 2009 and May 2009. | ||
Writing the average episode synopsis takes at least one hour or more for Rockersk08. While watching the episode, he will type very quick notes using {{wp|Notepad}}. Once finished, he often transfers it to {{wp|Microsoft Word}} and revises it four times. The first run removes spelling errors while the next two improves the text, adding complete, detailed paragraphs. The final pass involves adding links. Preferably, he likes to watch the episode on DVD for quality. However, {{wp|YouTube}} videos are adequate, especially for newly-released episodes. He does make occasional typos and doesn't always check the links due to slower Internet connections. | Writing the average episode synopsis takes at least one hour or more for Rockersk08.

When he does not have time to write a summary, Rockersk08 works on improving links and pages. One project involved removing improper use of {{Template|G}}, which was being used lazily for pages starting with Pokémon, such as <code><nowiki>{{g|Center}}</nowiki></code> for [[Pokémon Center]]. In the edit summary, he referred to it as "[http://www.mariowiki.com/Weapons_(SMRPG) Lazy Shell]," which is a reference to [http://www.mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_RPG:_Legend_of_the_Seven_Stars Super Mario RPG]. He also works on fixing any incorrect links, such as those that lead to {{cat|Disambiguation pages}} when they should not. He also works on fixing redirect links. | When he does not have time to write a summary, Rockersk08 works on improving links and pages.
