'''Carmenstar97''' joined [[Bulbapedia]] on October 23, 2010. She enjoys playing the [[Version|Pokémon main series]] games, and believes the [[spin-off Pokémon games]] can be quite frustrating to play. She tends to play more than one game at a time. When playing the games, she follows the same trend that {{Ash}} does in the anime when setting up her team: {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, and usually {{t|Ground}}. However, she would happily train any [[Elemental type|type]]. She usually does not keep [[status move]]s, as she believes they are a waste of a turn, and prefers to make the opposing Pokémon [[Fainting|faint]] as soon as possible.

I started out by watching the [[Pokémon anime]] at around elementary school age on lazy Saturday {{tt|mornings|to this day I have no idea how I managed to wake up that early}}. Then school got in the way, life happened, and I stopped watching the anime. Pokémon became just a thing that other people would occasionally talk about, and I would only understand a few references to the anime.


<big><big>History as a Pokémon Fan</big></big>
Fast forward to late August 2010, when the combination of boredom and nostalgia overcame me. I ended up watching some of the first Pokémon episodes and my love for Pokémon was revived. From then on, I marathoned the entire anime in the course of about a month and started doing a whole bunch of research on Pokémon. I grew interest in the [[Pokémon games]] and started out by playing {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold}}.

I first used [[Bulbapedia]] to find out some information about Pokémon, like any normal user. I lurked the site for a while, before joining on October 23, 2010. At first, I had no idea how to edit. I knew nothing about {{bp|wikicode}}! I learned over time by reading through all of the {{cat|Bulbapedia policies}}. About {{tt|two months|December 25, 2010}} after joining, I made <span class="plainlinks">[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Game_Freak&diff=prev&oldid=1293549 my very first edit]</span>. I started to become much more active in February 2011. On March 5, 2011, I became a temporary {{bp|Junior Administrators|Junior Administrator}} to help out with the English release of {{game|Black and White|s}}, but on April 30, 2011, I was officially made a member of the {{bp|staff}}. On December 14, 2011, I was promoted to an {{bp|Administrators|Administrator}} rank.


I started out watching the [[Pokémon anime]] at a very young age, and I loved it. I believe I started watching the anime around the end of the [[original series]], as I have a faint memory of {{an|Misty}} traveling with {{Ash}}. My favorite [[series]] was the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. I loved {{Ash|the}} {{an|May|group}} {{an|Brock|of}} [[Max|four]], because it felt a lot like family. I stopped watching the anime after [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|the ninth season]] started, because {{tt|I didn't have|I have it now, though}} [[Cartoon Network]] on my TV. My days as a Pokémon fan were pretty much over.
However, due to a {{tt|desire|okay...more like a need}} to focus on my education, I was completely inactive from late 2013 to late 2015, and consequently became categorized as an {{bp|Inactive Staff|inactive staff}} member. Once I'd settled in at college, I returned to active editing and rejoined the staff on January 18, 2016.


Then came one day in late August 2010, when I had nothing to do. So, what did I end up doing? I watched some of the first Pokémon episodes! I never would've guessed that I was soon to become a huge fan of Pokémon. And so, I wound up becoming one. I became so obsessed with it, that I did a whole bunch of research on it. I found out that there were [[Pokémon games]], and surprisingly, I had never known about the games. In the course of about a month, I had watched [[List of anime episodes|every single episode]] that had aired, including [[Banned episodes|the banned ones]].

I wanted to learn more. I played {{game|Crystal}}, my first Pokémon game, and I loved it. I then took a step back, playing {{game|Yellow}}. I loved walking around with {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}}, and I liked how all of the [[starter Pokémon]] could be obtained. Soon after that, I played {{game|Emerald}}. I discovered my first [[shiny Pokémon]] in this game. It was a [[level]] 6 {{p|Whismur}} in [[Rusturf Tunnel]]. I didn't know anything about shiny Pokémon, but I caught it anyways, because I knew it looked different. I only focused on two of my Pokémon: {{p|Blaziken}} and {{p|Altaria}}), and I regret doing that, as I {{tt|barely|I had to rely on Rayquaza to help me}} beat the {{ho|Elite Four}}. I am currently replaying through Pokémon Emerald with {{p|Mudkip}} as my starter Pokémon.

Then came the games on the [[Nintendo DS]]. The touchscreen features made the games more fun to play. I played {{game|Platinum}}, and {{tt|I have dedicated the most time on this game|300+ hours}}. I felt the most satisfied with Platinum, and I loved my team. After giving up on my Platinum game, I played the Japanese version of {{game3|Black and White|Pokémon White|s}}. I really enjoyed this game. The seasons are a nice addition. I got the English version of {{game|Black and White|s}}. I got both versions because I wanted to trade between games. I finished my White version, and I am currently playing through the English version of Pokémon Black. I found and caught my second [[shiny Pokémon]] in this game in [[Chargestone Cave]], while looking for the perfect {{p|Joltik}} to add to my team. It was a [[level]] 25 {{p|Klink}}, but I will not use it because I've already planned out my team.

History as a Pokémon Fan

I started out by watching the Pokémon anime at around elementary school age on lazy Saturday mornings. Then school got in the way, life happened, and I stopped watching the anime. Pokémon became just a thing that other people would occasionally talk about, and I would only understand a few references to the anime.

Fast forward to late August 2010, when the combination of boredom and nostalgia overcame me. I ended up watching some of the first Pokémon episodes and my love for Pokémon was revived. From then on, I marathoned the entire anime in the course of about a month and started doing a whole bunch of research on Pokémon. I grew interest in the Pokémon games and started out by playing Pokémon Gold.


Bulbapedia

I first used Bulbapedia to find out some information about Pokémon, like any normal user. I lurked the site for a while, before joining on October 23, 2010. At first, I had no idea how to edit. I knew nothing about wikicode! I learned over time by reading through all of the Bulbapedia policies. About two months after joining, I made my very first edit. I started to become much more active in February 2011. On March 5, 2011, I became a temporary Junior Administrator to help out with the English release of Pokémon Black and White, but on April 30, 2011, I was officially made a member of the staff. On December 14, 2011, I was promoted to an Administrator rank.

However, due to a desire to focus on my education, I was completely inactive from late 2013 to late 2015, and consequently became categorized as an inactive staff member. Once I'd settled in at college, I returned to active editing and rejoined the staff on January 18, 2016.


About Me

I am a 26-year-old girl from New York City, but reside at Cornell University during the school year. I am generally nice and patient, so don’t be afraid to ask me any questions regarding helping Bulbapedia to be more complete. Admittedly, my knowledge of Pokémon is mainly limited to the games (up to and including Generation V) and the anime, so if you ask me questions pertaining to a topic outside of my area of expertise, I will have no choice but to redirect you to another staff member better suited for answering your question. With that said, I'm always watching and available if needed. For more about me that I'm too lazy to type out, see my usertags.


Contact Information

My schedule can be quite sporadic, especially during the school year, but when in need of help I will try to be of assistance as quickly as possible. If I don't reply within 24 hours, you should probably direct your inquiries to another staff member. You can contact me via the following:
