Absolutely hacked, level 100, with six perfect IVs, but someone was bound and determined to give it to me, so I might as well use it.

Hi! I am Aggron989 and I joined Bulbapedia in December of 2012. Pokémon is one of my hopeless obsessions.
Hey there! I'm Aggron989. Pokémon is one of my hopeless obsessions.
 
I don't remember exactly when I really got into Pokémon, but I've seen {{tt|basically all|Meaning all of the main series episodes, most of the movies, and doing my best to keep up with XY. Haven't seen all of the chronicles yet.}} of the English dubbed anime episodes and play the games a lot. When I first started playing the Pokémon games, I didn't know how to do ''anything'' and I borrowed somebody else's {{p|Swampert}} to power my way through my first game, Pokémon Ruby. After I learned how to properly play Pokémon, I restarted my save file a few times and have since learned a lot more about playing Pokémon. Ever since my days of playing Ruby, my love of Pokémon has grown steadily larger and I now own a lot of the games and usually play either the main series games, the Mystery Dungeon series, or the Ranger series.
 
As my username suggests, my favorite Pokémon ever is {{p|Aggron}}. It's a really reliable and fun Pokémon to use, but other than that, I'm not really sure why.
 
I don't really have a favorite type, since it keeps changing. For a while, it was {{t|Psychic}}, but I don't have any one true favorite type. In the games, I believe {{t|Flying}} is the least useful type overall and I also consider {{t|Water}} to be the most versatile type when it comes to battling.
 
Something else about me is that I'm not too fond of legendary Pokémon for several reasons. They are caught at a very high level in the wild, so even with the great base stats they can (but not always) still be weaker than your already-trained Pokémon. The only {{p|Regigigas|non-event legendary}} that is caught at a low level has a {{a|Slow Start|terrible ability}}. Speaking of abilities, way too many legendaries have {{a|Pressure|the same one}}. Also, in terms of overall appearance, the legendary Pokémon {{p|Zapdos|started}} {{p|Moltres|off}} {{p|Articuno|looking}} {{p|Mew|pretty}} {{p|Lugia|reasonably}} {{p|Celebi|cool}}, but then they {{p|Darkrai|began}} {{p|Thundurus|to}} {{p|Tornadus|look}} {{p|Landorus|more}} {{p|Reshiram|and}} {{p|Zekrom|more}} {{p|Kyurem|ridiculous}}. That said, I do have a favorite legendary, which is {{p|Heatran}}. Again, I have absolutely no idea why. I literally just decided one day that Heatran was my favorite legendary because I figured I should have one. Mostly, I'm just tired of battling legendary spammers on the Battle Spot because I feel like everyone who uses them are wasting my time and disregarding the effort I put into making my carefully coordinated battling teams.
 
While I am here on Bulbapedia, I make my very best effort to be nice to everybody and to not be rude when I communicate with other users. If you notice me being a jerk anywhere on the site, please let me know so I can change my behavior.
 
Most of the time, I'll be hovering around the site, fixing grammar errors, filling out incomplete sections, and adding information here and there. In particular, I want to make the plot summaries for anime episodes sound more encyclopedic by removing unnecessary information from it, adding variation in the sentences, removing contractions, and other stuff like that.
 
==Stuff I've done==
===In the Pokémon games===
* To date, I have caught nine Shiny Pokémon, including the Red Gyarados, and I have been traded two others for a total of eleven.
* In recent years, I've gotten much better at carefully breeding and EV-training Pokémon teams for the purpose of online battling. My teams aren't perfect, but they get the job done most of the time.


===On Bulbapedia===
I can't honestly say that I remember when I first really started getting into Pokémon, but my very first game was Pokémon Ruby. I was really young when I first started playing and I didn't know how to do ''anything'', so I borrowed someone else's Swampert to power my way through the entire game - I still recall with amusement when it fell asleep on me in Roxanne's Gym. But I digress. Since then, I've gotten a lot better and I am now acquainted with this concept of IV-breeding and EV-training. What? There's actual ''math'' behind Pokémon battles? How about that. Starting in Generation IV, I began actively paying attention to my Pokémon's stats and IVs and I finally got truly good{{tt|*|at least by my standards}} at making competitive Pokémon in Omega Ruby, where I now spend much of my time battling other people online. I haven't participated in any tournaments, but the Battle Spot usually provides fun challenges. Well, except for the legendary spammers, they're just being annoying. In terms of the Pokédex, I am just a few Mythical Pokémon short of having the National Pokédex complete. I also play the Pokémon Ranger and Mystery Dungeon games. It took the Mystery Dungeon series a long time to actually get my personality right... Red Rescue Team insisted that I was a calm person, even when I took the test three times in a row.
I made the following pages:
*[[Puzzle Village]]
*[[Nameless Cavern]]
*[[Pathless Plain]]
*[[Pokémon Showboat]]


==Likes and Dislikes==
It's debatable whether I'm a bigger fan of the anime or the games. I've seen every main series episode of the anime and I've been making sure to watch each new episode as soon as possible. I still haven't seen all of the Chronicles yet, and I've seen all but [[M14|one]] of the movies. I'm a PokéShipper even thirteen seasons after Misty's exit from the series, because there was a certain spark in her friendship with Ash that has yet to be replicated in any of his other female friends (although I think Iris wins second place for that). But that doesn't really matter. I don't watch the anime so I can ship characters together. I love the anime. It's a lot of fun and although I do like other animes, I like that Pokémon isn't as graphic (or sometimes just plain disturbing) as others can be. My favorite episode is ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'' and my favorite characters include Misty, James, Max, Cilan, Iris, Clemont, and Bonnie. I like all of the main characters, actually. I'd just say that those are my favorites.

Just to name a few - if I said all of my favorite Pokémon, it would be boring.


* My favorite region is [[Hoenn]], probably more for nostalgia reasons than anything else.
<s>I have been keeping just as much up-to-date with the manga as I have with the anime and games.</s> Oh, don't I wish. I love the manga, but unfortunately I have not yet read the FRLG, Emerald, HGSS, half of BW, B2W2, nearly all of XY, or any of the ORAS chapters. Maybe I'll catch up on that someday. Of the manga chapters that I ''have'' read, my favorite is RS and my favorite characters are Ruby, Sapphire, and Black. My favorite Pokémon in the manga is Feefee.
* I very much enjoy the anime and I am a supporter of [[PokéShipping]], [[ContestShipping]], [[RocketShipping]], and [[QuestShipping]].
** I'm also starting to support [[AmourShipping]] after seeing numerous episodes of the XY anime. I feel like they pushed the Ash-Misty thing quite a bit during the first few seasons of the anime, but I think AmourShipping has reached greater heights in a shorter period of time.
* My favorite manga characters are {{adv|Black}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Ruby}}, although I haven't read all of the Pokémon Adventures manga yet.
* I enjoy the trading card game, but I very rarely play it anymore.
* {{TRT}}.

==Me and Bulbapedia==

I joined Bulbapedia back in December of 2012, when I was one of those new users that just added random bits of trivia or asked questions that didn't really need to be asked if I actually did my research before asking the question. But I've gotten better... I think. As of late, I've tended to focus on the anime articles more than anything else, although I contribute wherever I see something that needs editing.


* I don't know who decided that Primal Reversion was a good idea, but I really hate it. I used to like Groudon and Kyogre, but I don't anymore because I am so sick and tired of people abusing their ridiculous power and Abilities whenever I try to have an honest, fair Pokémon battle with someone.
I'm a really opinionated person. I dial that back a ''lot'' when I'm online, because I'm very conscious about what I post for the public to see, but even then, sometimes things I say might come out the wrong way and sound rude when I'm just trying to be firm. If that happens, please let me know. I don't want to be a jerk. Also, I'm a grammar cop. A lot of my edits involve varying sentences, removing contractions (because they're too casual for an encyclopedia in my opinion), and fixing comma/apostrophe/capitalization mistakes.
** Also, I'm not a big fan of Mega Evolution, but except for a few overpowered Megas, it's all right.
* I do not have anything against Unova or its Pokémon (most of them), but I'm not a fan of [[Generation V]].
* [[Ash's Pikachu]] seems to be very good at hitting Ground-type Pokémon with Electric-type attacks, even fainting Otoshi's Marowak with a Thunder Shock.
** On a similar note, characters in the anime are constantly saying that Electric-type moves have a hard time damaging Rock-type Pokémon. Uh... no, they don't.
** In the Hoenn League saga, Pikachu's attacks were more frequently ineffective against Ground-types, but the show blew it again when [[Joshua (Coordinator)|someone's]] {{p|Houndoom}} damaged [[May's Skitty]] with a {{m|Shadow Ball}}.
* The fact that {{p|Charizard}} has two Mega Evolutions. This bothers me a lot.
* I don't like [[Shiny Pokémon]] events. In my opinion, giveaways like the Shiny Mega {{p|Gengar}} and the Shiny {{p|Beldum}} defeat the whole purpose of even having a Shiny Pokémon. If everybody has one, it might as well have a normal coloration because it's not that special anymore.
* Even Super Smash Bros. 4 adds an "s" to the end of a Pokémon's name when pluralizing it! C'mon, already! "Cryogonals?" No, it's "Cryogonal", thank you very much! (...Sorry. That's one of those things that drives me crazy every time I hear it.)
* Ash's birthday is way overdue.


==Video game stuff==
* I'm a diehard Ness user in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS. My second best character is Luigi, but the difference in my skill level between the two of them is huge.
* My favorite video game is Metroid Fusion, but I haven't played any other Metroid games to completion except for that one.
* My other video game interests include Phoenix Wright, Harvest Moon, the Legend of Zelda, Sonic (sort of), Super Smash Bros., and Mario.


==Closing thoughts==
