Carmenstar97 joined Bulbapedia on October 23, 2010. She enjoys playing the 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: Electric, Flying, Grass, Fire, Water, and usually Ground. However, she would happily train any type. She usually does not keep status moves, as she believes they are a waste of a turn, and prefers to make the opposing Pokémon faint as soon as possible.
History as a Pokémon Fan
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 Misty traveling with Ash. My favorite series was the Advanced Generation series. I loved the group of four, because it felt a lot like family. I stopped watching the anime after the ninth season started, because I didn't have Cartoon Network on my TV. My days as a Pokémon fan were pretty much over.
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 every single episode that had aired, including the banned ones.
I wanted to learn more. I played Pokémon Crystal, my first Pokémon game, and I loved it. I then took a step back, playing Pokémon Yellow. I loved walking around with Pikachu, and I liked how all of the starter Pokémon could be obtained. Soon after that, I played Pokémon Emerald. I discovered my first shiny Pokémon in this game. It was a level 6 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: Blaziken and Altaria), and I regret doing that, as I barely beat the Elite Four. I am currently replaying through Pokémon Emerald with 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 Pokémon Platinum, and I have dedicated the most time on this game. 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 Pokémon White. I really enjoyed this game. The seasons are a nice addition. I got the English version of Pokémon Black and White. 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 Joltik to add to my team. It was a level 25 Klink, but I will not use it because I've already planned out my team.
History on Bulbapedia
While I watched the old episodes of Pokémon, my sister discovered Bulbapedia. When I first saw the website, I was confused. The first thing I saw was the countdown to September 18, 2010. I didn't understand what the point of a countdown to a "random day" was. I used the website, and I loved how organized it was! I lurked Bulbapedia for a while before joining on October 23, 2010. At first, I didn't understand how to edit. I knew nothing about wikicode! I learned over time by reading everything in the Bulbapedia policies. About two months after joining, I made my first edit. I usually make minor edits, such as fixing links. On March 5, 2011, I became a temporary Junior Administrator to help out with Black and White, but on April 30, 2011, I was officially made a member of the staff. I enjoy helping out here, and I hope for Bulbapedia to be more complete!
