== My History on Bulbapedia ==
I had a bad start on Bulbapedia. I would always be talking on the User namespace and it became accesive. Eventually I learned that most of your edits should be on the mainspace. It was really hard to get used to Bulbapedia. I had no idea how different it was from Wikipedia. I made a zillion edits just to get my signature changed.

Eventually I got better and even created [[Ranger Base|My first mainspace page]]. I had a few slip-ups but eventually got used to Bulbapedia. I made many productive edits. I was suprised at how many edits I made that no one got angry at or found unproductive.

The only really bad thing I have ever done was make a sock-puppet just to prove something. Which I didn't realize how bad it was until I saw the front page at the time. After a small time away from Bulbapedia I came back and started fresh. I started making tons of useful edits (and a few mistakes in my knowledge of Pokemon of course). Some of my edits and suggestions were even approved by a few admins.

More recently, I had started working with some of the Bulbapedia projects. Even though the Pokémon articles were blocked that didn't stop me from using the talk page. Even though they are blocked to regular users, the Admins, could still edit it. So my way of making edits to the pages was by requesting them to Admins on the respective talk pages. I also have started a little project on Project MoveDex that has to deal with moves in the manga. For more info on that click this →[[Bulbapedia talk:Project MoveDex|♫]]

Lately, I have became an average contributor, poking around here and there, making occasional edits. I have become more familiarized with "BulbaCode" and have began to make good contributions without any issues.  


I hope to be a great contributor as I move on in Bulbapedia♪. I'll do anything for Bulbapedia to be better♫.

== My History with Pokémon ==
===Chapter 1: Starting a Life of Pokémon===
Ever since I was little, I had loved Pokémon. I would [[Pokémon Anime|watch Pokémon]], [[Pokémon|play Pokémon]], [[Trading Figure Game|battle Pokémon]], and [[Trading Card Game|trade Pokémon]]. I had played Pokémon Red and had recieved my starter, Squirtle. I was a noob player back then so I wanted to catch every Pokémon in the game. Because of that, here was my team:
*{{p|Blastoise}}
*{{p|Raticate}}
*{{p|Pidgeot}}
*{{p|Beedrill}}
*{{p|Fearow}}
*{{p|Jigglypuff}}
** For the record, I never caught all 150, partially because I had no idea that a Moon Stone was needed to evolve Jiggy.
Of course, I had no clue what PC meant for, so, I could never get the better Pokémon I had caught due to them traveling to the "PC". I, eventually, met an older friend who was clearly more wise than me at the time. He told me a lot about Pokémon. ''That'' was when things got more aggresive . . .
===Chapter 2: The Battle Begins===
You see, yes, I evolved my Pokémon in Red, but I did that for my "precious Pokédex quest". Blastoise was my ''only'' tough Pokémon. Now that I knew what to do, I decided to catch the strongest Pokémon I could find. If it proved to be too weak I would PC it. My friend had given me his Blue version, and my team ended as:
*{{p|Venusaur}}
*{{p|Arcanine}}
*{{p|Articuno}}
*{{p|Zapdos}}
*{{p|Gyarados}}
**It was in the Day Care forever!
*{{p|Mewtwo}}
Then came the depression, no not the real depression, my depression. Why was I depressed? Simple! There was nothing left to do with Pokémon except watch the anime. But then there was {{p|Togepi}} . . .
===Chapter 3: [[Generation 2|Two]] much Excitement!===
February 27th, 1999 was the day a mysterious egg was found in the anime. I was super-excited to know what would come out of it! I looked through all 151 Pokémon to see which one it could possibly hatch into. After thinking for a long time I assumed it would be a Paras. I couldn't stand it! Then, a month later, March 27th, I saw Togepi!!! I was obsessed!!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes . . . it was a new Pokémon!!! I wouldn't let my parents hear the end of it! That was when I got so obsessed I decided to go through every episode I had recorded to find more! Of course, I never got passed the first episode. Of course it was because of that darned [[Ho-Oh (Pokémon)|Golden Fearow/Golden Legendary Bird]]. I knew it couldn't be a Fearow or an Articuno or any other Bird-like Pokémon, it had to be (at that point) a Pokémon to be discovered in the future. I went BONKERZ!!! A few months went by and eventually I calmed down from the craziness . . . but I was still very eager to spot a new Pokémon. Then came the day of [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]. I was super excited about the new movie and it was great! But something in the beginning caught my eye, it was a [[Donphan|Rolling Grey Elephant]]. I went ecstatic over it!!! I named it Groll, FTW! Naming it made me want to name that mysterious Bird-like Pokémon. I called it Sparcuatro (yes I knew the little Uno Dos Tres thing). The next year, the VHS came out. Of course I bought it because I heard about [[Pikachu's Vacation]] from ppl who saw it on TV. I skipped right to the Pikachu Short and I couldn't believe my eyes once more. There they were, [[Marill (Pokémon)|Marril]] and {{p|Snubbull}}. I exploded into excitement, I wrote a list of new Pokémon down: Togepi, Sparcuatro, Groll, Marril, and Snubbull. I admired my "cleverness". A few months had passed, and I was eager as ever! It was summer and everyone was hyped over the upcoming movie, [[The Power of One]]. The movie was fantastic and, once again, I was amazed. Just to let you know, I had only ever heard about this movie from my friends. So . . . I was appauled at the sight of Lugia. I couldn't believe it, I went '''berzerk''' over Lugia. Later, I saw the [[Slowking (Pokémon)|Slowbro with the Shellder on it's head.]] This time, I was puzzled, it looked so different from Slowbro, it had to be a new Pokémon, I called it {{tt|Slowmo|If his name was mentioned in the movie than I must have been in so much awe my mind blanked out He He!}}. I added Slowmo to my list. At the end of the movie, the short [[Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]] came on. I sat eagerly ready for more. I asked for more, and I got it! I saw {{p|Elekid}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, and {{p|Hoothoot}}. I had figured out their names when the DVD came out but, if your curious I called them, Elezap, {{tt|Ladyba|Boy was I accurate with this!!!}}, {{tt|Bellossom|They said their name}}, and {{tt|Hooru|Hoo R U? I know it was lame}}. I was really excited, but then I got upset once again . . . I couldn't catch them in my games . . .
===Chapter 4: Gen. II Arrives===
It was October 7th, 2000 when I had begin to realize that the anime was coming to an end. I became even more depressed . . . it would soon be the end of Pokémon. The next week I solemnly yet excitedly watched what I thought was to be the last episode of Pokémon . . . but then I heard Ash was set to go on a new journey. I got so excited about this I cried. After that, the next episode came on, in the same day!!! I ran up to the TV as fast as as a little kid could. The first episode amazed me. I [[Suicune (Pokémon)|saw a mysterious looking Pokémon]], Totodile, and Cyndaquil! It was almost like Christmas for me. The next day it was announced that new Pokémon and new Pokémon games would come out. I put Silver version on my list immediately. It was new Pokémon every week for me until X-mas: Chikorita, Heracross, Spinarak, Stantler, Quagsire, and Blissey. I was also really excited to find out that Groll's real name is Donphan, and that I got to see Hoothoot, Bellossom, Snubbull, and Ledyba in action. Then the day came . . . Christmas! I finally got my Silver version and I immedietly started playing . . .
