I have been a fan of Pokémon for a decade now, starting in 1997 (aged 7) when my Japanese friend introduced me to Pocket Monsters. He gave my friends and I some Pocket Monsters merchandise from Japan on many occasions. I still have Japanese [[Horsea]], [[Ditto]] and [[Zubat]] stickers on my closet, as well as a very tiny [[Charizard]] sticker (two of them actually, though identical). In an old money tin I also have some Pokémon postal stamps (one is of [[Bellossom]], back when it was blue-skinned rather than green, before Gold and Silver were released). I cherished my [[Venusaur]] writing board -- it was some sort of plastic/cardboard sheet with Venusaur on it, with Venusaur statistics on the back (in Japanese of course). I also have some old figurines he gave me: a small [[Pikachu]] and a silver [[Slowbro]] with a detachable tail (I only have 1 tail, a [[Slowpoke]] tail; I assume you could also attach a [[Shellder]]-tail onto it).
 
I bought Red version in 1998 when it was released in Australia. My Japanese friend helped me through it at the start; I remember him telling me, one afternoon, that my homework for the night was to defeat all the trainers on the route east of [[Cerulean City]].
 
I became interested in the more statistical side of the games by the time of Ruby and Sapphire's release. I learnt about [[Effort Values]], [[Natures]] and other important (and often hidden) statistics for developing teams. I never made an entire team of perfectly trained Pokémon; I hope to do so in my Diamond version. We'll see what happens.
 
I am entirely aware that [[Blissey]] is cheap and overused, but it learns [[Light Screen]], which is perfect for the tactic that my friend and I are developing for dual-battles against our other friends.
