About me

Butterfree, the inspiration for my username.

I've been a Pokémon fan since my childhood in the 1990s. I played Pokémon Yellow on my GameBoy Color, though I never actually finished it. (I couldn't find HMSurf ([[{{{2}}} (move)|{{{2}}}]]) in the Safari Zone.) I watched the Pokémon: Indigo League anime every day after school; and I collected Pokémon Cards in a big Pikachu binder, though I never knew how to play the game.

While I continued to like Pokémon and remember a lot about Generation I, I stopped keeping up with Pokémon (in any form) just before the start of Generation III. By the time I got a DS in the mid-2000s, I wasn't even aware that more Pokémon games were coming out. But, I've finally got back into the wonderful world of Pokémon with Pokémon Moon and Pokémon GO in 2016. Since then, my husband & have played all the games as they've come out, up to and including Pokémon Shield!

My username is inspired by the Generation I Pokémon Butterfree. I didn't come up with it myself, though: it comes from something we did in my frosh dorm in college. One day, we decided to list out which Pokémon everyone was, and my dormmates decided I was the Butterfree of our dorm. And I kind of ran with it!

Pokémon Universe

If I were a character in the Pokémon Universe, my starter would be the Grass-type Starter for the region. The only exceptions I'd make would be in Unova, where I'd choose Tepig, and Kalos, where I'd choose Froakie.

Regardless of my Starter choice, I'd probably end up becoming a male Channeler/Hex Maniac (if such a trainer could exist) or a Punk Guy that throws in a few Ghosts. To be close to the Ghost Pokémon, I'd live in one of the following cities:

• Lavender Town if I lived in Kanto;
• Violet City if I lived in Johto;
• Konikoni City if I lived in Alola, as Konikoni City is close to Memorial Hill; or
• Stow-on-Side if I lived in Galar, as it's close to a few Ghosts on Route 6 & in Glimwood Tangle.

I don't know the other regions well enough yet to say which city or town I'd prefer.

I'm not sure how much of a Pokémon adventure I'd undertake, or even whether I'd challenge the Elite Four. I might be a Pokémon Breeder (in the anime sense) instead.

Games

Me, spading my way through every game, never beating the Elite Four. (Weedle is the symbol for the Bulbapedia:Spading Notice Template.)

I've played the following core series games, at least briefly:

• Pokémon Yellow;
• the Spanish version of Pokémon Sapphire, Pokémon Zafiro;
• Pokémon Leaf Green;
• Pokémon Black 2;
• Pokémon Y
• Pokémon Moon;
• Pokémon Ultra Sun;
• Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu!; and
• Pokémon Shield.

Despite playing all of these games for extended periods of time, I've only beaten Pokémon Moon so far. I'm a major spade|spader in Pokémon games. However, I do fully intend to play through each of the ones I still have access to until I beat them!

Through the years, I've also played a number of the spin-off Pokémon games, most notably Pokémon GO. I started playing on the first day it came out in 2016, and I've never really stopped. It helps that I've always lived/worked in places with good access to PokéStops.
