About Myself
Kenji-girl's Shaymin artwork
My real name is Samantha Galipo (サマンザ・ガリポ). I've been a Pokémon fan since 1999. That's about a year after it came out in the U.S. I'm 22 years old, that means I was 13 when I started getting in to Pokémon. =P I also go under the names of SonicAngel948 and SatoshiSonic948. As you might have guess by those two names I'm also a Sonic the Hedgehog fan.
I'm a fan of both the games and the anime. Ironically it was the anime I got into first before I played the game.
Personally I believe I'm a nice person to get to know. I love animals and even work at animal shelter. I'm not a big fan of young kids. I just have had bad expiriances with them regarding the animal shelter. Most are loud and whiny and scare the animals. There have been kids I have made friends with from time to time. Mostly, I'm willing to make friends with anyone. The only way that I could become your enemy is if you treat me as such.
I'm a fan of some other things besides Pokémon. I also like other video games such as Sonic the Hedgehog, The Mario Series, the Super Smash Brothers series, Star Fox, Dance Dance Revolution, and the Soul Calibur series. I'm not a big fan of all that Final Fantasy crap. I also hate First-person Shooting games.
My other favorite animes include InuYasha, Sailor Moon, Gatchaman, Tokyo Mew Mew (hence the banner at the top), Magic Knight Rayearth, Sonic X (the original), and Blood+. I can't stand Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh! or Fullmetal Alchemist. And fans of Naruto {"Narutards") really annoy me with their complaints of the dub.
I have a low tolerance for flamers and vandals. I tend to get sensitive over discussions of discrimination against people of different races, religions, and sexual orientations and sometimes lose my temper. Especially over the sexual orientation part. I'm not gay but I have friends that are and I become emotional when people say negative things about them or gay couplings. So it's best that you do not discuss them with me if you are against them.
I'm also an artist. I mostly specialize in fan art. Most of it is either related to Sonic the Hedgehog, Pokémon, and other animes. Please visit my account on deviantART. You'll see the link to my page under the category Sites
Currently I'm going to Los Angeles Pierce College trying to get my Associates Degree.
Games
When I play the games, I usually name myself Sammy because Sam sounds too much like a guy and Samantha will not fit by one letter. *shakes fist*. I usually specialize in Water, Ice, Grass and my favorite Ghost Pokémon. I also get Fire types fairly often mostly because they're a necessity. I also have a tendency to nickname all my Pokémon, but only if they're going to be on my team. I don't name every single one of them.
So far I've played every version except Pokémon Diamond. I haven't played a lot of the spin-off games like Pokémon Ranger and Pin-Ball, etc. I have played the old Stadium games and the Pokémon Colosseum/XD.
Pokémon Pearl Team
This is my current team on Pokémon on Pokémon Pearl. (NOTE: The nicknames are where the hold items would normally be. Move your cursor over the name to see there origins.)

Diamond Team
NOTE: (Most of the Pokémon on my team are nicknamed after villains. Move your cursor over their name to see the origin).
Note: Yeah, I know I said I didn't like using legendaries. But Giratina is just so cool and I needed a Ghost Pokémon that could fly and I didn't want that fugly Drifblim. I'm not even training it right now because its level is much higher then the rest of my Pokémon. Right now, it's just used as a mode of transportation.

- I have no idea why I used so many Naruto names. Probably because those Pokémon remind me of the characters.

Favorite Pokémon
I have lots of favorites. But my top favorite of all is Absol. Its just so awesome. I love how it looks. My other favorites are as follows.
Pokémon I dislike and why
- Sunflora - It just creeps me out. There's something sinister behind that smile. They're plotting to DESTROY US ALL!!
- Dunsparce - Just... what the hell? Why was this even made? I think Satoshi Tajiri just ran out of insperation when he created his one. To me it's the lamest Pokémon EVER. At least Magikarp was more creative than this thing.
- Mudkip - If I hear So I herd you leik Mudkipz one more time I'm gonna hurt somebody.
Anime
I'm also an avid fan of the Pokémon anime. As I said before, I saw the anime first before I played the games. Most of my contributions to Bulbapedia are anime related. My favorite arcs are the Indigo League, Orange League, Pokémon Chronicles, and the Sinnoh League arcs.
Favorite Characters
- Tracey/Kenji - I think this was probably obvious to you by my user name. He is my all time favorite character. I love his sweet personality and he draws just like I do. I'm very dissapointed that the writers didn't give him a bigger part in the anime. I wished that they would give him a new Pokémon or something. Make him come back once in a while. Oh well... what are you going to do. Maybe one day he will return to the team or at least have some episodes dedicated to him.
- Ash/Satoshi - Probably my second favorite character. I like his charisma and positive outlook on life. He may be a little thick headed at times but the anime just wouldn't be right without him.
- Misty/Kasumi - Definately my favorite female character. I fell that I can relate to her because I'm also a tomboyish redhead. I especially like how she matured after the original series ended. I find her to be a very strong trainer that could probably put Dawn and May to shame.
- Brock/Takeshi - Come on. Who doesn't love Brock? He's funny and a very kind person. When he first left the show I got really upset and I was overjoyed when he came back. Even though Tracey left the cast after that happened. He does go overboard when it comes to girls but hey, that what makes Brock well... Brock.
- Dawn/Hikari - She's just plain cool. Unlike the other females she seems like she's ready to more. I mean she battled a member of the Elite Four already. Even Ash didn't battle one until season 2. Though she doesn't rank higher than Misty in my book she definitely ranks higher than May.
- Richie/Hiroshi - I know that Bulbapedia spells it "Ritchie" but that's how I spell it. I know Richie isn't very popular within the Pokémon community. But he's one of my favorites. He's sweet, cute, and intellegent. What more could you ask for in a guy?
- Paul/Shinji - Yes he's rude and crude and abuses his Pokémon but I can't help but love him. Why... well.... I can't really explain it.
May and Max
I do like May/Haruka and Max/Masato, but not as much as the main characters. I really can't stand the fact that they got main parts the the movies before Misty or Brock did. Though I imagine that this will happen to Dawn too. All and all they're good characters. That's all I can really say. I can't think of anything that I really like about them.
Characters I dislike
- Gary/Shigeru - I just don't like him. Even though he has matured, I still see him as that snot-nosed brat from season one. Though I have to admit that a like Japanese Gary more than the English one. Part of the reason I hate Gary is because of his crappy English voice.
- Kenny/Kengo - To me Kenny is a bad Richie rip-off. To make things wors
