==General==
I'm by and large a lurker.  I roam about sites like deviantART, FurAffinity, ... even TV Tropes.

==On this wiki==

I tend to surf this wiki primarily for reference, like Pokémon movesets and game locations.  My contributions tend to focus on minor fixes like proper spelling/grammar/wording (a particular peeve), and some occasional trivia.

==In the games==

I have a mild interest in the game series, starting in [[Generation I]] with [[Pokémon Red Version]].  I still play the series from time to time, although I have virtually no experience in online/competitive multiplayer battles.  I personally tend to favor the {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Flying}} types with an emphasis on offense, but try to keep a balanced team just the same.  Tough work.  My typical team roster tends to resemble this:
* [[Starter Pokémon]]
* One {{type2|Flying}} (with {{m|Fly}})
* One {{type2|Water}} (with {{m|Surf}})
* One {{type2|Electric}} (sometimes with {{m|Flash}})
* One [[Eeveelution]]
* One or two Pokémon for [[breeding]]/training purposes

I generally do not [[nickname]] my Pokémon.  Nicknaming is hard work!

===Starter Pokémon===
Even at first glance, I seem to successfully pick whichever starter is the fastest among its trio.  Henceforth:

* [[Pokémon Red Version]], [[Pokémon FireRed Version]]:  {{p|Charmander}}
* [[Pokémon Gold Version]], [[Pokémon HeartGold Version]]: {{p|Cyndaquil}}
* [[Pokémon Emerald Version]]: {{p|Treecko}} (female)
* [[Pokémon Diamond Version]]: (N/A, still haven't played it.  Considering a {{p|Chimchar}})

In [[side series]] games:

* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team]]: Team "Espera", led by Charmander ("Rizaar") and Treecko ("Arvel").
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: Team "Ravea", led by {{p|Riolu}} ("Arlio") and {{p|Shinx}} ("Rae"). Marine Blue color.

If the combination of Riolu and Shinx (two of Sky's exclusive starters) sounds cliché, in my defense I was not deliberately aiming for a Riolu in ''Explorers of Sky''; that just happened to be the results of the quiz ("sassy"). I almost turned it down to start the quiz over!

==In other media==
I do not follow the anime.  I've seen [[EP060|about]] [[SS020|three]] [[SS021|episodes]] in total, and the [[M01|first movie]].  Not part of its target audience, not impressed by the main anime series.

Nor do I follow the manga -- the only volume I've ever seen is ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]]'', and even that was only because it was published in issues of ''Nintendo Power'' magazine.

I do, however, occasionally draw fanart of specific Pokémon, and for my 2010 Nanowrimo, wrote a 52,000 word novel based on a Pokémon-centric setting.
