Hello. My name is '''Nick15''' and I've been a part of Bulbapedia since the beginning. I used to run the website [[Pokémon Aaah!]]... I mean, I still run it, but I also ''used to'' run it as well.
{{User Night|198|}}
</div>
Howdy. I'm Philippe Van Lieu, aka Nick15. I'm something of an old tymer here with Bulbapedia as well as Bulbagarden... so pay your respects you young whippersnapper!


I mean, lesse...
==Quick History==
* I used to run my own Pok&eacute;mon site, ''[[Pok&eacute;mon Aaah!]]'' for five years between April 10th, 1999 and May 10th, 2004.
* Started playing the Pokémon TCG upon release after starting Magic
* I played the [[Pokémon TCG]] from ''{{TCG|Base Set}}'' and ending with ''{{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}}''.
* Played the TCG until EX:FRLG
* One version of my site was temporarily hosted at Bulbagarden back in 2001, by personal invite by [[Anenga]], at ''http://pa.bulbagarden.com/''
* Returned to the TCG with the release of Black/White
* I laid the foundation for a good portion of the TCG articles at Bulbapedia, as well as contributed a lot of info to those articles. A lot of the images about those early TCG sets (like set logos and icons) were images I scanned for my own site but later used here. Heck, you might consider me the Meowth346 of the TCG. ''(Or maybe Meowth346 is the Nick15 of the video games? :P)''
* Love of TCG encouraged the creation of my website, ''Pokémon Aaah!'', in 1999
* I'm also the first major Pokémon TCG graphical fake card maker (at least the first to popularize the concept), developing the first system of instructions and blanks that has evolved into what you know of today. Every other graphical fake card maker can pretty much trace the the lineage of influences back to me. Not to toot my own horn or anything. :)
* Worked on PA! until 2004, includes a period when PA! was hosted on Bulbapedia in early-2002
* When PA! ended, a lot of its TCG information formed the basis of Bulbapedia's TCG articles
* Returned to regular PA! updates in late-2019
* Played the Pokémon video game, starting with a Japanese Yellow ROM, then to own my own copy of Yellow upon release
* Played the Japanese Gold ROM and helped hype up the info with Meowth346 at [[Pokémon Forever]]
* Continued playing every game from every Gen, with varying degrees of hype (peaking at Gen 5, dipping at Gen 6, then peaking again with Gen 8)
* Can't stop, won't stop!


I still love Pokémon, but not enough to dedicate my time and life to it like I used to back in the day. I still desire to leave *A* mark upon the Pokémon community at large, so I try my best to keep Bulbapedia up-to-date. Thus, I'm here.
==Goals at Bulbapedia==
* Maintaining accurate information about [[Pokémon in South Korea]]
:* Current main goal: replacing TCPI-coined romanized name with RR versions, unless actual examples of romanized names on Korean products exist
::* NOTE: the TCPI-coined romanizarions of Korean names were done without the help or association with Pokémon Korea, Inc, and therefore have romanized names which don't make sense (like "Fairit" for Charmander, even though there is no "t"-like sound in its Korean name).
::* Examples of Romanized Korean names do exist, such as the ones used on products at the [https://m.blog.naver.com/PostView.nhn?blogId=rnalay&logNo=221005743454 2017 Pokémon World Festival] event.
::* Romanized names appear more on modern products, less so on older products. Romanization is still generally rare, definitely relative to its use on Japanese products, so many Korean Pokémon names have yet to actually use romanizations.
::* Of the modern products that do employ romanized names, they tend to be on popular Pokémon, like Pikachu, the Kanto starters, Eevee and the Eeveelutions, Ditto, etc.
:* Adding any remaining information about Korean Pokémon name etymology
:* Add Korean TCG set icons wherever possible (they are similar to, but not exactly the same as, the Japanese set icons)


Eventually I'm gonna trick out this profile, like how people have their team info, awards and other junk on their pages. :D
* Maintaining [[Pokémon TCG]] articles, namely those during the Wizards of the Coast-era
:* scans of events and items which don't yet appear
:* articles for WOTC-era [[World Championships|events]]
::* Super Trainer Showdowns - 2000 West, 2000 East, 2001 East, 2001 West
::* Worlds - 2002 West Coast Qualifiers (San Diego), 2002 East Coast Qualifiers, 2002 Seattle, 2003 Indianapolis (GenCon)
