Writing the average episode synopsis takes at least one hour or more for Rockersk08. While watching the episode, he will type very quick notes using {{wp|Notepad}}. Once finished, he often transfers it to {{wp|Microsoft Word}} and revises it four times. The first run removes spelling errors while the next two improves the text, adding complete, detailed paragraphs. The final pass involves adding links. Preferably, he likes to watch the episode on DVD for quality. However, {{wp|YouTube}} videos are adequate, especially for newly-released episodes.

Rockersk08 is a member of Bulbapedia, joined on October 20th, 2008. He found Bulbapedia through Wikipedia, which he uses as a general information source. Since he found Bulbapedia more comprehensive, he switched to using it as his Pokémon source. His primary reason to join was to contribute to the anime episode summaries. He first took an interest in Pokémon when he received Pokémon Red in 1998, following up with viewing the anime.

Games

The Pokémon games started Rockersk08's interest in Pokémon, beginning with Pokémon Red on his Game Boy Pocket. Although he has owned games from each generation, he no longer has Crystal. His Gold and Silver cartridges no longer save due to dry cell batteries. He considered repairing them, but shelved the thought for newer games.

For Red, he chose Charmander as his first starter. Since it was the first game he played, he made common mistakes: not raising a balanced team, no movesets, and relying too much on Charizard. He fixed his mistakes in Pokémon Yellow, completing it with a balanced team at level 50.

Pokémon Gold increased his interest dramatically. He got it in December 2002, along with a Target-endorsed Game Boy Advance. He chose Cyndaquil as his starter. Gold was the first game where he would raise a team to level 100, although half of the team was composed of Legendary Pokémon: Mewtwo, Zapdos and Ho-oh. He played that version for three years, co-playing along with Pokémon Stadium 2. He did get a hold of Silver and Crystal, but he eventually set them down for the third generation.

Rockersk08 originally skipped over Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, getting FireRed in December 2005, his stepbrother getting LeafGreen. He once again chose Charmander as his starter, and he found FireRed much harder but more rewarding. After switching out his team, he raised his first non-legendary team to level 100: Tyranitar, Machamp, Alakazam, Lapras, Jolteon, and Arcanine. He eventually imported the team to his Diamond card, updated with Generation IV moves. He did get ahold of Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, merging all the Pokémon onto Diamond. He did, however, chose Torchic as his starter for Sapphire.

Rockersk08 is currently working on the fourth generation games, having acquired Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. For all three, he raised the teams to level 100. Although Dialga was on Diamond, this marks the first instance where he has raised starter Pokémon to level 100. Since he found out about Effort Values, he is now breeding and raising many new Pokémon for competition, but only to level 50. Once he completes his list, he plans to take six Pokémon, incorporating all four generations, and raising that team to level 100 with Effort Values for a tournament team.

Anime

Rockersk08 has seen most of the Original series episodes, all of the Advanced Generation, and parts of Diamond and Pearl. He currently has the first box set for the first season, the second season box set, both Battle Frontier box sets, the complete tenth season and the first box for season eleven. He strives to pick up as many on DVD as possible. In terms of movies, he has seen the first four films and Destiny Deoxys. He owns the DVD for The Rise of Darkrai. He is still trying to find the DVD for Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

Contributions

Rockersk08's first contribution was the synopsis to The Bicker The Better on October 22nd, 2008. He also joined Project Anime, which has been his primary focus. His first created page was for the 1999 Pokémon Monopoly board game on January 12th, 2009. As of July 24th, 2009, he has written fifty-four episode summaries and plans to write more. He received the Golden Bulbasaur Award on June 6th, 2009 for service between February 2009 and May 2009.

Writing the average episode synopsis takes at least one hour or more for Rockersk08. While watching the episode, he will type very quick notes using Notepad. Once finished, he often transfers it to Microsoft Word and revises it four times. The first run removes spelling errors while the next two improves the text, adding complete, detailed paragraphs. The final pass involves adding links. Preferably, he likes to watch the episode on DVD for quality. However, YouTube videos are adequate, especially for newly-released episodes.

When he does not have time to write a summary, Rockersk08 works on improving links and pages. One project involved removing improper use of {{G}}, which was being used lazily for pages starting with Pokémon, such as {{g|Center}} for Pokémon Center. In the edit summary, he referred to it as "Lazy Shell," which is a reference to Super Mario RPG. He also works on fixing any incorrect links, such as those that lead to Disambiguation pages when they should not.
