Howdy all! My name is not Trom. But that is what I like to be called. So, please do.

I am an eighteen-year-old male living in the southern paradise that is {{wp|New Zealand}}. Somehow or other, I find the time to call in here almost every day; hopefully this won't change in the immediate future. If you're wondering what I do in my real life, I'm a student, like most people here. My field of study is mathematics, but I've got a couple of other papers in there too. Next year I'm hoping to pick up some computing papers as well.

If you see this username anywhere else on the internet, it's probably me. If not, then we may have a problem on our hands. I'm registered on ''almost'' every Pokémon-related wiki under the sun, but if you find one without me be sure to let me know. A wiki isn't a wiki without a Trom, after all.
 
My interest in wiki software stems back to 2005, when I discovered Wikipedia for the first time. The following year, I created my first account, and made a few changes. Six months later, with password down the toilet, my second account was created. I'm sure you can find it if you look hard enough&mdash;there are more than enough hints on this userpage. While I still edit there occasionally&mdash;mainly during lulls here&mdash;I am not as active as I once was. Once an article writer, I am reduced to reverting vandalism and tagging "bad" newpages for deletion.
 
Through acquisition of {{game|Diamond}}, followed by {{v2|Sapphire}}, {{v2|Emerald}} and {{v2|FireRed}}, I slowly made my migration to this wiki. Now, it is where I spend most of my time. I am almost always active between 20:00 and 11:00 UTC: feel free to bother me during this time period. As an administrator, I can edit some pages you probably can't, and am happy to lend a third ear in disputes. I don't attach myself to any projects here, but will help out with anything: including those boring, mindnumbing, repetitive updates. Anyway, all questions, complaints, insults, tasks and praise you may have for me can be left on my talk page, in a new section. Most importantly, don't forget to sign!

Here, to illustrate the effect of [[black out|blacking out]], I took my level 9 {{p|Magikarp}} to [[Route 204]], where I rather unfortunately faced off against a level 8 Magikarp. Forty {{m|Splash}}es and a few {{m|Struggle}}s later, I had my three screenshots... one of which I subsequently lost, thus requiring me to start over.

I have lots of them, and am awaiting {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in 2010 so I can complete my Pokédex; I lack the required side games and Wifi to get the last few, unfortunately. I typically rotate my team around 20 or so Pokémon, some of them EV trained, and some not. I'm not a huge competitive battler, but can hold my own in the Battle Tower, and against my brother.
I'm an {{bp|administrator}} here, and a member of the {{bp|Editorial Board}}. I guess that means that sometimes I'm allowed to make decisions about how things get run. More probably, it means you can pester me if you want something done.

a wild trom appeared?

Greetings, Bulbapedians. My name, according to the top of this page is The dark lord trombonator. But please, let's leave the formalities out of this. You can just call me trom.

I'm an administrator here, and a member of the Editorial Board. I guess that means that sometimes I'm allowed to make decisions about how things get run. More probably, it means you can pester me if you want something done.

When I edit here I generally don't stick to a specific area. In fact, it would more seem that there are areas I don't stick to. You're likely to find me editing articles on the games, locations, anime, and (from time to time) manga; I fiddle around with templates and coding, too, and will always step in to resolve any kind of dispute.

So, if you've got any concerns or complaints about anything—including my editing!—feel free to bring that up on my talk page.

so, um, life...

And they say Pokémon's for kids... look at that sex appeal...
I'm a kiwi, born and bred. No, not the fruit: I'm from New Zealand. And no, I don't live in a hut or wear a grass skirt. Thanks for asking.

When you can find me away from Bulbapedia, I'm usually doing one of two things. Hmm... okay, three things. I'm studying towards a degree in Mathematics and Psychology at a university that gives me free internet, but also spend some time playing my beloved bass trombone, and working in a chocolate factory. Yes, that's right a chocolate factory. Go figure.

my role in the pokémon fandom

I apologise in advance for the misleading section title. At this stage of my life, I don't have a lot to do with the various Pokémon media. I don't watch the anime (hell, it doesn't even air here on free TV); I don't read the manga or play the TCG. I do have Diamond and FireRed, though, so I guess that counts for something, even if the games are rather unplayed at the moment. I'm avidly awaiting the New Zealand release of HeartGold and SoulSilver, though I'm not sure which one I want to get yet.

And no, I don't have wifi. Don't ask for a battle 'coz you won't get one.

contact

Leaving a note for me on my talk page is usually the best way to get a hold of me. If you want to discuss something vaguely private, an email would be nice. Alternatively you could leave me a private message on the Bulbagarden Forums. I do have AIM, but I'd prefer to keep that address my little secret. Maybe I'll give it to you, if you give me enough cookies. I do enjoy a nice chocolate chip....
