Hi. My name is '''Jerry''', aka '''Bulbajer'''. My favorite [[Pokémon]] is [[Bulbasaur]], so that's where my username comes from. I'm a typical college geek that hides his nostalgic love for Pokémon.

I was first introduced to the franchise through the [[anime]]. [[Ash]] was making his journey through [[Johto]] when I first tuned in. Later, I received my first Pokémon [[TCG]] cards (from the [[Gym Heroes]] and [[Gym Challenge]] series). In around fourth grade, Pokémon and {{wp|Yu-gi-oh!}} were all the rage among boys, and after losing interest in the latter, I purchased [[Sapphire|Sapphire version]] for the [[Gameboy Advance]]. I don't play it much anymore, but I still visit my 150 Pokémon caught (I've seen 186) and 8 [[Hall of Fame|Hall of Fames]]. (See my teams for each of my games [[User:Bulbajer#My Teams|below]])
My earliest memories of Pokémon are 1) seeing a Pikachu keychain on a classmate's backpack in kindergarten and 2) watching a bit of the [[anime]] at a friend's house (I think it was ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''). However I really only got interested in Pokémon a few years later when I started watching the [[anime]]. [[Ash]] was making his journey through [[Johto]] when I first tuned in.

After Sapphire, I got interested in the [[TCG]], and started collecting (I prefer collecting to [[Pokémon battle|battling]]). Currently I have about two-thirds of the Pokémon up to [[Deoxys|#386]]. I don't collect Generations [[Generation IV|IV]] or [[Generation V|V]] because I have no interest in them and I don't like the new card styles. (And Gen. V Pokémon really stink, imao.) Late sumer 2012, I found [[Cloyster (Fossil 32)|a Cloyster]] in a shop, completing my collection of the [[Generation I|Gen. I]] Pokémon!

Besides Sapphire, I own [[LeafGreen]] and [[Red Rescue Team]]; I play LeafGreen off an on, but I gave up Red Rescue Team. I also own (both literally and figuratively) [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], which I have completed except for a few trophies.

My main areas of interest in Pokémon are the characters themselves and the anime. I have watched the entire [[original series]] twice, which totally dominates the later series. I did follow the [[Advanced Generation]] series up until [[Kids' WB]] cut it (I don't receive [[Cartoon Network]]).

I have known about [[Bulbapedia]] for a long time; I didn't really become interested in it until I started watching the anime over again. I finally joined on February 21, 2010; my first edit was to [[EP117]], to which I added trivia and an error. A bunch of my edits have been undone by more experienced users, but I am getting better, and I aspire to be as wise in the ways of Bulbapedia as any!
