I own and have {{tt|completed|as in I beat the E4 and Champion; I only ever bothered to complete the Pokédex once, back in Blue}} at least one game from each series in the main Pokémon RPGs; so out of the whole canon, I know most about the games.

Also, I don't really play Pokémon competitively; I found that too many times when people who both know everything about type matchups face off, it just turns into a match of constant Pokémon switching until one exerts the mercy that leads to their own loss. | ||

Having said that, though, I'm still getting to grips with stuff like using American English [since I'm not American...].

I also speak quite a bit of HTML, Javascript, Java, C++ and C#... if that helps in any way. | |||
''As of September 19 I'm back in college''; so my contributions - though usually quite modest anyway- *should* begin to dissipate. Hopefully no-one will miss me too much... =) | |||
