Hello and let me introduce myself. I'm Vhayes1992. I am {{#expr: {{#time: Y|@{{#expr:({{#time: U}} - {{#time: U|01:10 April 14, 1992}})}}}}-1970}} years old from Hamilton, Ontario and I have watched the anime since it's Canadian debut. I became an instant Pokemon fan back in 1998 when [[YTV]] aired the very first episode. The next few days after that, everyone in my class couldn't stop talking about the show. I remember running for home to catch Pokémon everyday at 4:00 PM to see if Ash had become a [[Pokémon Master]] yet. On  April 14, 1999 (my birthday), I received my first Game Boy which was a green Game Boy Pocket along with [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]]. At first I didn't like the game as it was all about strategy, but after a while I got hooked on it. In the same year, I asked my father to go see ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and we did near Christmas with my cousins. I noticed that people in my grade 2 class started to dislike the Pokémon anime when [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands]] came around. Most complaints I remember was that they didn't like the new opening and that {{an|Brock}} was gone. I too did not like that changes but still watched the anime to see when Ash would become the Pokémon Master he wanted to become ever since the first episode. At around this time, I had given up on my Pokémon Red game as I had mainly only used Charizard and the rest of my party was weak. Despite this fact, I had asked for [[Pokémon Stadium]] for my next birhtday in order to play Pokémon in 3D. I was hooked for a little while and then lost interest in the game. The next year [[YTV]] had aired [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys]] and my likings for the Pokémon anime had fully come back as it had a catchy new opening and more importantly, Brock came back! Subsequently, I had asked for [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Silver]] for my birthday of 2001 and got it. I played all the way through and beat the game (the first Pokémon game I had ever beaten). The Christmas of 2001, I had received [[Pokémon Puzzle League]] and couldn't stop playing that game. Up to now I still play that game. Unfortunately after the 4^th season of the Pokémon anime, I lost interest in Pokémon altogether. I stopped playing my games and if the anime just happened to be on the TV, I'd watch it just because there was nothing better on TV at the time. Fast forward to 2007. My brother came up to me and said the voices of the Pokémon anime are completely different. I though he was just joking with me, but I casually walked to the TV expecting the same old same old but it hit me like a brick wall. The anime had changed completely. This is where I first met Bulbapedia. It was here on Bulbapedia that I learned what had happened. My interest for the anime had somewhat came back, but to only see how well the anime would be after the changes. Then the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} came around on [[YTV]] and ever since the series premiere, I have now become a Pokémon anime follower again. In 2008, I had decided to register here at Bulbagarden as to help out when and wherever I could on Bulbapedia. For the past {{#expr: {{#time: Y|@{{#expr:({{#time: U}} - {{#time: U|01:10 November 10, 2008}})}}}}-1970}} years and {{#expr: {{#time: m|@{{#expr:({{#time: U}} - {{#time: U|01:10 November 10, 2008}})}}}} - 1}} months of being a user here at Bulbagarden (mainly on Bulbapedia), I like to contribute (when I find the time) as well as if I happen to notice an error in facts or details, I will attempt to fix them. I generally try to stay out of the way of edit wars and if a disagreement arises between me and member(s) of the community, I will simply leave it up to the consensus of opinion to make the decision. I love to contribute to bulbapedia! I have been a member since November 10, 2008.
