__NOTOC____NOEDITSECTION__
Hi there! I'm '''Chiefboz''', but you can just call me '''boz'''. Let's ignore that first syllable for the time being.

If you need me to do non-administrative tasks, why don't you stop by the [[User talk:Chiefboz|{{color|000|talk page}}]]? You can get to it by clicking "talk page" in the directory above. If you're interested, you should also check out the various templates I've been writing, as they are very interesting. Everything can be navigated through using the directory.
{| width="67%" style="background:#{{{{#switch: {{#time: n}}|4|5|6=autumn|7|8|9=winter|10|11|12=spring|1|2|3=summer}} color light}}; {{roundyright|60px}}"

=='''<sc>{{color|{{{{#switch: {{#time: n}}|4|5|6=autumn|7|8|9=winter|10|11|12=spring|1|2|3=summer}} color dark}}|Bulbapedia}}</sc>'''==
|}
Bulbapedia wasn't my first fansite. [[Serebii]] was. I stumbled across it when I was searching for {{p|Gyarados}}' type, and found not only it but an entire website. And I fell in love with the concept of fansites. Then it escalated to Veekun, from which I found Bulbapedia. That was around May 2010, when the usergroups got implemented.

I've been around Bulbapedia since September 28, 2010. Since then, I've mastered wikicode and have created extremely advanced templates, combining CSS and wikicode into sheer awesomeness that automatically figures out a whole slew of things. One of the best templates would probably be [[User:Chiefboz/OnlineStatus|this one]], which uses the <nowiki>{{#time:}}</nowiki> parser function. It's very interesting. If you want more on that, bug me about it. But please, technologically-savvy or extremely bored people only.

These days, I'm a {{wp|Wikipedia:WikiGnome|WikiGnome}}, fixing typos and links, and [[Bulbapedia:Christmas Improvement Drive|occasionally performing major edits]] on articles. The random infoboxes you've seen popping up all over the Fiore pages are my work - I've stuck those on. And then there's the Archives, where I usually place stuff on like "move this image to ''File:Wintown Ranger1.png" just for'' the infoboxes. I also have recently been doing major work for {{bp|Project Battrio}} - even though I've never seen or played with an actual Battrio arcade machine.

Like I said, I'm not an admin, so please don't ask me to delete anything or deal with protected stuff. Hopefully I will be able to do that in the future, but as for now, that stuff is in the hands of the {{bp|staff}}.

There are four ways you can get a hold of me. They can all be activated on every single page here by clicking on one of the specified buttons in the directory.

My Bulbapedia talk page (red speech bubble) is the best way to get to me.

You can also email me (Air Mail) about private manners.

And, for random, non-'pedia discussions, send me a private message on the Bulbagarden Forums (BMGf).

If you need to complain about stuff related to the [[Bulbagarden Archives]], please use my archives talk page (blue speech bubble).

In case it hasn't already occurred to you, BGM = Background Music.

I absolutely '''love''' background music, especially in the Pokémon games. It just makes the games so much better. Below I have compiled a list of really good BGM tracks.

===BGM that's best with GB Sounds off===
This only lists HeartGold and SoulSilver tracks, as those tracks from Sinnoh and Hoenn can't really be alternated with an eight-bit version of them freely.
* Routes [[Johto Route 47|47]] and [[Johto Route 48|48]]
* Riding the [[Magnet Train]]
* Wild Pokémon encounters and Trainer battles in [[Kanto]]
* [[Pokémon Center]]s
* [[Viridian City|Viridian]], [[Pewter City|Pewter]] and [[Saffron City|Saffron]] Cities, plus any [[gatehouse]]s or other buildings that play the city's music when entered
* The [[Pokéathlon]] competition
* [[Global Terminal]]

===BGM that's best with GB Sounds on===
* Wild Pokémon encounters in [[Johto]]
* Routes 34-37, 45-46, the [[Pokéathlon Dome]] (exterior) and [[Cliff Edge Gate]]
* Routes 30-33
* Routes 2-10, 16-18, and 22
* [[Cerulean City|Cerulean]] and [[Fuchsia City|Fuschia]] Cities, plus any buildings that play their music

===Other random, really good BGM===
* [[Thunderwave Cave]] (Mystery Dungeon Red and Blue)
* [[Amp Plains]] (Mystery Dungeon Time, Darkness and Sky)
* [[Blizzard Island]] Rescue Team Medley (Mystery Dungeon Sky for sure, but maybe Time and Darkness too)
* Dialga's Fight to the Finish! (Mystery Dungeon Time, Darkness and Sky) - '''''EPIC!!!'''''
* Hoenn Sound remix of [[Hoenn Route 101|its original]] (HeartGold and SoulSilver)
* Start with the theme song of [[Wigglytuff's Guild]], then right before the main melody takes over, switch to "One for All, All for One!" track. - Only works if you know how to do it. (Mystery Dungeon Sky)
* [[Marowak Dojo]] (Mystery Dungeon Sky) - Track 101. My personal waiting music. [[Makuhita Dojo|The original]] isn't all that bad, either.

Well, duh! Every fan has their favorites! These are just a few of mine... the list may just keep getting bigger and bigger as I figure out new ones. Especially for [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]].

Meanwhile, there's the least favorites that you could check out, if you really wanted to see who (in my opinion) sucks.

! width="80%" | Why?
|-
| 018
| {{p|Pidgeot}}
| [[File:018.png]]
| colspan="2" | Although he takes a while to train up, and the strong moves don't show up for a very long time, he's pretty good in battle.
|-
| 034
| {{p|Nidoking}}
| [[File:034.png]]
| colspan="2" | Nidoking proves to all that Poison is not as useless as we think. Then he kills you. FAST. '''Plus''' he just looks awesome.
|-
| 051
| {{p|Dugtrio}}
| [[File:051.png]]
| colspan="2" | Three mole thingies in one big bunch. National terror. And after he kills you he goes back into hiding. Too bad he doesn't evolve again...
|-
| 059
| {{p|Arcanine}}
| [[File:059.png]]
| colspan="2" | Give him better moves, and he's a world threat. But seriously? [[Intimidate (ability)|Looks]] - and just ''is'' - deadly. What's wrong with a big giant puppy/tiger?
|-
| 062
| {{p|Poliwrath}}
| [[File:062.png]]
| [[File:Poli.png|80px]]
| '''''[[Surf (move)|{{color|000|SURFING}}]] [[DynamicPunch (move)|{{color|000|NINJA!!!}}]]''''' You tell me one thing bad about a surfing ninja.
|-
| 076
| {{p|Golem}}
| [[File:076.png]]
| colspan="2" | Although he has all of those weaknesses, Golem's not all that bad. He does a pretty decent job as the {{t|Rock}} debut, and his pre-evolutions are very annoyingly located in every cave imaginable. But, nonetheless, he knows how to kick butt.
|-
| 093
| {{p|Haunter}}
| [[File:093.png]]
| colspan="2" | Ghost + Body + Hands - Arms + Immune to a lot of attacks = plain awesome. Gengar gets arms, and it has that weird evil smile that makes no sense. Haunter... takes care of ''everything''.
|-
| 127
| {{p|Pinsir}}
| [[File:127.png]]
| colspan="2" | Thanks to the split, he will murder anyone with {{m|X-Scissor}}. And then some.
|-
| 130
| {{p|Gyarados}}
| [[File:130.png]]
| [[File:Red Gyara.png|80px]]
| Big. Huge. Killer stats. And remarkably difficult to beat. Now if only there was {{tt|one teensy fix|Water/Dragon}}, he'd be insanely awesome. But so long as he knows how to kill Electric-types, we're still in business.
|-
| 143
| {{p|Snorlax}}
| [[File:143.png]]
| [[File:Snor.png|80px]]
| He's a pain in the butt to catch or defeat. And then he's fat and lazy. Have you read [[PS012|this stuff]]? It's ''hilarious'' how he's that big. '''Especially''' in the manga. And who can argue with him? Fat + Lazy = Hilarious.
|-
| 149
| {{p|Dragonite}}
| [[File:149.png]]
| colspan="2" | Let's see. {{pkmn2|Pseudo-legendary}}, meaning killer stats. Looks beast. Sounds pretty tough. And can it cover for its weaknesses? Hmm... Fire Punch, Brick Break, Flamethrower, Dragon Claw... must I go on?
|-
| 150
| {{p|Mewtwo}}
| [[File:150.png]]
| [[File:Red and Mewtwo.png|80px]]
| '''I don't think that there's a single reason to go wrong here.''' Plus its Rumble theme music when it goes into the Battle Royale makes it much more epic.

|-

| {{p|Crobat}}

| Mooooooooooo.<br>Seriously, though? It's not Miltank as it is the ''concept'' of him. '''A cow Pokémon.''' I just think cows are so random...
|-
| 248
| {{p|Tyranitar}}
| [[File:248.png]]
| Oh look. Another pseudo-legendary. But seriously? Tyranitar. Better than Dragonite. So long as he knows how to destroy any and all ninjas, he's all set. Plus Rock/Dark is a very interesting type combination.

|-
| 260
| {{p|Swampert}}
