I'm Drake. I've been into Pokémon since the days of Yellow, but don't watch the anime anymore. Currently I've played every Generation III and prior game, with the exception of Leaf Green, and beaten them all. I haven't played Generation IV because I can't be bothered to buy the games, but I'm sure I'll end up buying a IV game sometime. It sounds as thought they've really gotten complicated with the move system though, which is not appealing to me, but I'll see for myself someday.
My work here thus far consists of minor error corrections and pointless trivia. My area of expertise is in noticing the boring, mundane and pointless, like how Pelipper is the only Water-type that can learn Fly, or how Seviper and Zangoose share a base stat average unique to them. My only large-scale edits have been List of Contest Opponents (the Gen 3 section) and Trick House, but hey, work is work, it needs to be done all the same.
Favorite Pokémon
I don't do defense, I like speed, power, and lots of them. The closest I ever came to a staller was my Magmar with Rest and Toxic, but I'm an aggressive battler, if i teach a move to a Pokémon it either does a lot of damage or inflicts a status ailment. I love my dragons, my dinosaurs and my sweepers, so I find and raise the toughest powerhouses I can. I also love large movepools, being able to teach my team nearly anything I need whenever I need it. I like to plan my team out early in the game, once I play through a game the first time I know what I can catch and when, allowing me to decide who to use when and who's going to the Elite Four on replays.
Among my more treasured engines of destruction are:
Charizard
Gengar
Magmar
Electabuzz
Nidoking
Sceptile
Absol
Sharpedo
Salamence
Breloom
Skarmory
Armaldo
Flygon
Solrock
Kabutops
Dragonite
Metagross
Milotic
Gyarados
Hated Pokémon
I'll expand this list at a later date, but right now the only Pokémon I hate, off the top of my head, is Jynx. I don't care about the controversy, personally I think the idea it was racist is a load of crap. Anyway, first off the thing is ugly. It's a bad design, and purple or black skin, it is just an ugly Pokémon, horrible design. Second, its voice is annoying, its cry is loud and obnoxious and makes no sense. Granted, a lot of Pokémon cries sound nothing like their names, but Jynx's cry sounds like nothing. Third, it's attack. Lovely Kiss? If I got kissed with those ugly purple throw pillows, forget being put to sleep, I'd hang myself.
Jynx is really, just a badly designed Pokémon. I can't stand it.
Shinies
I've caught a Shiny Caterpie in Fire Red and subsequently evolved it into Shiny Butterfree. I've caught a Shiny Magikarp on Ruby that I didn't evolve. In Crystal I got myself a Shiny Magby from the Daycare Egg and evolved it into a Shiny Magmar. Pink is not its color, it really isn't.
