| | ==First off== |
| | Hello all, and welcome to my userpage (which I am apparently finally adding text to) here I will write about all aspects of my life (well mostly the Pokémon-related stuff). There will probably be a lot here so for a briefer idea of me just look at my usertags. |
| | |
| | ==All about me== |
| | Well, I'm a guy living in Ottawa, Ontario, the capital of Canada. My first language was English but I've gone to French school my entire life so I speak it very well. That's probably even more than most of you want to know about me (or at least more than you should want to what you should want to know) so lets get to what you probably all want to know about. |
| | |
| | ==Pokémon== |
| | ===The games=== |
| | I've been a fan of the Pokémon games ever since I was five years old and they remain the area of the franchise in which I am the most interested so this section will probably be rather lengthy. |
| | |
| | ====General information==== |
| | As you will no doubt notice over the course of this section, I always choose the male character and always name him after me (except in Colosseum and XD where I used two variations of a common shortened form of my name). I have always chosen the Blue-er version when faced with pairs (except Pokémon Mystery Dungeon where I rented Red Rescue Team in order to free up the DS for my brother who rented Lost Magic or something. The habit of Blue-er games also creeped into other franchises such as Mega Man Battle Network. When restarting Pokémon games I also have a habit of writing down the nicknames and genders of all my Pokémon so I can get them similar ones all over again. Also, since Sapphire, I've always attempted to catch every Pokémon, with one of both genders whenever possible, and always starting with the lowest evolutionnary stage. |
| | |
| | ====Blue==== |
| | My first Pokémon game, I got it for Christmas many years ago. I had owned a guidebook for various GameBoy games before playing it that happened to touch on Red and Blue so I was rather ready for the challenges ahead of me. |
| | |
| | =====Run #1===== |
| | I have a distinct memory of having an older Blue file than the ones I actually remember playing. Other than that, and the fact that I probably started with a Charmander, I remember nothing about this run. |
| | |
| | =====Run #2===== |
| | This is where it gets interesting, I once again picked Charmader and nicknamed it CHAR. Unfortunately, the two of us together were no match against Brock and I ended up catching a Pidgey, somehow, in a childish way, thinking that the little Flying-type would be super-effective against the Rock-types. "PIDGE" couldn't do very much though and I ended up training it extensively in that big square-shaped patch of grass outside of Pewter City. I didn't end up using CHAR very much and it stayed a Charmeleon for the rest of the game. PIDGE eventually growing into a level 100 Pidgeot. It would eventually be joined by a Gengar whose nickname I cannot recall due to the fact that it was an impronouncable jumble of the letters of the names Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar which I pronouced as "Gengshlaar" and the Silph Co. Lapras which I nicknamed LA. PIDGE would be my main battler since Quick Attack made it fast enough to KO anything it came across (including the Legendary Birds which I only saw as more training though I did get Zapdos for my PokéDex when my cousin traded me his momentarily in order to evolve my Haunter). In the end, I did catch Mewtwo in the Master Ball and started trying to level it up with the Exp. All near Viridian City. In other words, this was as much of my final team as I can remember: |

The two of us decided to attempt to catch all the Unown. One day I didn't really want to look for any more so he took my Blue game and, as a mock threat, he started releasing some of my Pokémon. I wouldn't have been upset as he had no intention of saving but he switched PC boxes which, in Gen I, saved the game deleting most of my Pokémon (including my three prized level 100s) which would later cause me to restart Blue. We did end up catching all the Unown and completing all the game's side quests but that was the closest I ever got to owning a Gen II game. |

First off
Hello all, and welcome to my userpage (which I am apparently finally adding text to) here I will write about all aspects of my life (well mostly the Pokémon-related stuff). There will probably be a lot here so for a briefer idea of me just look at my usertags.
All about me
Well, I'm a guy living in Ottawa, Ontario, the capital of Canada. My first language was English but I've gone to French school my entire life so I speak it very well. That's probably even more than most of you want to know about me (or at least more than you should want to what you should want to know) so lets get to what you probably all want to know about.
Pokémon
The games
I've been a fan of the Pokémon games ever since I was five years old and they remain the area of the franchise in which I am the most interested so this section will probably be rather lengthy.
General information
As you will no doubt notice over the course of this section, I always choose the male character and always name him after me (except in Colosseum and XD where I used two variations of a common shortened form of my name). I have always chosen the Blue-er version when faced with pairs (except Pokémon Mystery Dungeon where I rented Red Rescue Team in order to free up the DS for my brother who rented Lost Magic or something. The habit of Blue-er games also creeped into other franchises such as Mega Man Battle Network. When restarting Pokémon games I also have a habit of writing down the nicknames and genders of all my Pokémon so I can get them similar ones all over again. Also, since Sapphire, I've always attempted to catch every Pokémon, with one of both genders whenever possible, and always starting with the lowest evolutionnary stage.
Blue
My first Pokémon game, I got it for Christmas many years ago. I had owned a guidebook for various GameBoy games before playing it that happened to touch on Red and Blue so I was rather ready for the challenges ahead of me.
Run #1
I have a distinct memory of having an older Blue file than the ones I actually remember playing. Other than that, and the fact that I probably started with a Charmander, I remember nothing about this run.
Run #2
This is where it gets interesting, I once again picked Charmader and nicknamed it CHAR. Unfortunately, the two of us together were no match against Brock and I ended up catching a Pidgey, somehow, in a childish way, thinking that the little Flying-type would be super-effective against the Rock-types. "PIDGE" couldn't do very much though and I ended up training it extensively in that big square-shaped patch of grass outside of Pewter City. I didn't end up using CHAR very much and it stayed a Charmeleon for the rest of the game. PIDGE eventually growing into a level 100 Pidgeot. It would eventually be joined by a Gengar whose nickname I cannot recall due to the fact that it was an impronouncable jumble of the letters of the names Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar which I pronouced as "Gengshlaar" and the Silph Co. Lapras which I nicknamed LA. PIDGE would be my main battler since Quick Attack made it fast enough to KO anything it came across (including the Legendary Birds which I only saw as more training though I did get Zapdos for my PokéDex when my cousin traded me his momentarily in order to evolve my Haunter). In the end, I did catch Mewtwo in the Master Ball and started trying to level it up with the Exp. All near Viridian City. In other words, this was as much of my final team as I can remember:

Run #3
After a friend of mine accidently released many of my Blue Pokémon (more on that later), I didn't play it for a long time.

Red
My brother got Red to get the version exclusives for his Blue game but I never really played it.
Pinball
I rented it many years ago.
Generation II
