====Introduction====
{{User:Evkl/Directory}}


I'm Evan. I'm now attending college somewhere in the north-central part of New York State and enjoying it quite a lot, which explains why I'm not around here as much.  I hail from suburban Philadelphia, which gets an unnecessarily bad rap for a whole lot of reasons, some of which I don't fully understand, but many of which I do.  Anyway, I grew up there, so I suppose I liked it enough.


Do I still like this?  This being the whole Bulbapedia thing.  I like the institution, of course, and I'm very proud of where it's come over the past few years, although my interest in subjects pertaining to it has waned as I've matured.  But it's a fun time around here, and I'd like to think that I'm not inactive in the community.  I still enjoy keeping things nice and fresh and orderly around here, don't get me wrong--but I am no longer what one might call an active contributor. I do a lot of work in the policy of Bulbagarden.net and planning on new projects and such, when I have the time.  Otherwise, I'm kind of laid-back.  Pretty normal, I guess.
====About Me====
My name is Evan, but I go by evkl online, all lowercase.  I've been working on Bulbagarden since Archaic took over in December of 2002, first working on the forums and later serving as the first Editor-in-Chief of Bulbapedia. I was the head of the Forums from 2006-ish until January of 2011, when I became one of the Chiefs of Staff of Bulbagarden.  I alternate between being highly active and somewhat inactive, but I always respond if you call my name (or write on my talk page.)


====Interests====
I've been playing Pokémon since I was 9, which at this point is [[Generation I|quite a while ago.]] I've played multiple games in every Generation, although I've played less as time has gone on - other commitments demand my time more and more.  I've returned to the series with Pokémon Go and, especially, Let's Go Eevee and Sword.
Mm.  Yes.  I do have interests, and I do have a life outside of Bulbapedia.  It's basically as follows, in no order.
* Amateur political pundit.
* Soccer.  And football.  Both of 'em.
* Cycling
* Writing
* Poetry


====Musical Interests====
====My Role on Bulbapedia====
I have a minor side interest in a lot of music.  I've played a handful of instruments for various lengths of time.  Haven't written any songs, not yet, but I intend to do that sometime.  Eventually.  Anyway, some bands and artists I'd suggest checking out:
I'm a mediator, adviser, and creative consultant to the current Bulbapedia [[Bulbapedia:Leadership Board|Leadership Board]].  If you have a problem or need help with something, feel free to contact me; I'll do my best to try and fix it.  Don't feel like you're intruding or bothering me.  I like to help.

====On evkl's name====
 
My real name is a well-kept secret known to only a small handful of my friends in the online community; the name '''evkl''' is a combination of ''Evan'' and the first two letters of my last name, ''Kl''.  This has led to some calling me "Evan Kayell", which might as well be a last name.
 
The actual name should be ''evkl'', with no capital letters.  Bulbapedia's software doesn't support this, but, as Mick Jagger once said, you can't always get what you want.

I alternate between being highly active and somewhat inactive, but I always respond if you call my name (or write on my talk page.)

I've been playing Pokémon since I was 9, which at this point is quite a while ago. I've played multiple games in every Generation, although I've played less as time has gone on - other commitments demand my time more and more. I've returned to the series with Pokémon Go and, especially, Let's Go Eevee and Sword.
