History
I first discovered Pokemon in mid 1998 when I found a poster of the original 150 in a teen magazine. I was fascinated with the creatures, and on first impressions alone, liked Hypno. It was a couple of months later when I watched my first episode, Challenge of the Samurai. With that episode alone, I fell in love with Pokemon and a little while later got my first game, Blue. After studying the manual, I chose Bulbasaur as my starter, while my first captured Pokemon was a Rattata. I kept that Rattata, whom I later nicknamed Bronze, throughout my entire journey, and it became my favourite Pokemon, simply because it was the first one I ever caught.
When the Orange Islands saga was first showing on tv, I started to delve into fanfiction, and evantually signed up on fanfiction.net (this was mid 2001 I believe). If I remember correctly, back then the Pokemon section was about 50 pages, and even back then I thought that was lots. The less you say about my first poor attempts at Pokemon fanfiction the better.
When second generation came, I got Silver. This time I chose Cyndaquil as my starter, and just like in Blue caught a Rattata as my first Pokemon. I was also very fond of my Lugia and Umbreon. Upon finding my old Silver game back in 2006, I was heartbroken to find my beloved Silver game with all my level 100s had reset. However I later discovered a Crystal game in a second hand shop, and I started playing that.
In the long wait between second and third generation games, and due to me not discovering fandom yet, I fell out of Pokemon for a little while, however I still watched the anime. Evantually Ruby and Sapphire came out, and I fell in love with Pokemon all over again. As the games were a while away from Europe, I first played Ruby on an emulator. My starter was a Torchic, but I later chose Treecko when I got the actual game. The whole reason I bought my GBA-SP was to play Pokemon. Some of my favourite Hoenn Pokemon are Milotic, Mawile, Groudon and Ninjask.
It was around this time that I started discovering the main Pokemon fandom. Despite this I never signed up on any forums, or never even really spoke with anyone from the fandom, choosing to lurk around the forums instead. Evantually I stopped watching the Advance Generation anime as it just wasn't interesting to me anymore. I have missed a lot of episodes, but I don't really mind, since I learned everything important I needed to learn right here on Bulbapedia.
Finally in 2006, with Diamond and Pearl were nearing release, I kept up with all the new info on Serebii, and bought the Japanese version of Pearl when it was released (although I wouldn't get until December that year thanks to the site I ordered from losing my first copy). I choose Piplup as my starter and went blindly through her game, unable to understand a damn thing, and evantually getting so lost that I begrudginly went and found a walkthrough for the rest of the game. Later getting the European released of both Diamond and Pearl, I only uses my Japanese game now for exploitation of the surf glitch. Some of my favourite Sinnoh Pokemon are Lucario, Arceus, Shaymin and Froslass. I also fell back in love with the anime recently, thanks to Dawn and the, in her opinion, awesome Diamond/Pearl series. I desperately hope that Dawn will get a Froslass to go with Ash's Glalie, like what happened with a few of May's Pokemon.
Fanfiction
I have been writing fanfiction for years, long before the internet and Pokemon, back before I even knew it was called fanfiction. My first attempt at a Pokemon fanfic was back in the Orange Islands saga in 2000, before I got the internet at home. My story was about two pages long and had a plot where Jessie and James actually caught Pikachu for once, which forced Ash and gang to go to a Team Rocket base stationed in Orange Islands to get Pikachu back. It also had the overused "Giovanni is Ash's father" plot, which I would continue to use in most of my multichapter anime universe fanfiction. I discovered fanfiction.net in mid 2001 and signed up immediately. I've written a lot of multichapter stories, but never really finished any of them due to either procrastination, writer's block, or a busy schedule. I tend to write a lot of drama/angst, as well as some action/adventure. For my earlier fics, pairings and possible romance were usually developed later then the actual plot, but recently I have started writing plots based around pairings. I also recently started writing more game universe fanfiction, with my first attempt into this being Shock Waves an AkaHika fanfic I started writing back in late 2006, just after the Diamond/Pearl games were released in Japan. My fanfiction can be found on fanfiction.net under the pen-name Arceus.
