Howdy. I'm Philippe Van Lieu, aka Nick15. I'm something of an old tymer here with Bulbapedia as well as Bulbagarden... so pay your respects you young whippersnapper!

I mean, lesse...

• I used to run my own Pokémon site, Pokémon Aaah! for five years between April 10th, 1999 and May 10th, 2004.
• I played the Pokémon TCG from Base Set and ending with EX FireRed & LeafGreen.
• One version of my site was temporarily hosted at Bulbagarden back in 2001, by personal invite by Anenga, at http://pa.bulbagarden.com/
• I laid the foundation for a good portion of the TCG articles at Bulbapedia, as well as contributed a lot of info to those articles. A lot of the images about those early TCG sets (like set logos and icons) were images I scanned for my own site but later used here. Heck, you might consider me the Meowth346 of the TCG. (Or maybe Meowth346 is the Nick15 of the video games? :P)
• I'm also the first major Pokémon TCG graphical fake card maker (at least the first to popularize the concept), developing the first system of instructions and blanks that has evolved into what you know of today. Every other graphical fake card maker can pretty much trace the the lineage of influences back to me. Not to toot my own horn or anything. :)

I still love Pokémon, but not enough to dedicate my time and life to it like I used to back in the day. I still desire to leave *A* mark upon the Pokémon community at large, so I try my best to keep Bulbapedia up-to-date. Thus, I'm here.

Eventually I'm gonna trick out this profile, like how people have their team info, awards and other junk on their pages. :D

My History With Pokemon

1998: Discovered it after classmates play it in school. 1999: Started work on PA! 2004: Stopped work on PA! 2009: Still playing it.

Old Bits

Nick15, otherwise known as Philippe Van Lieu, is a mere footnote in the history of the online Pokémon community. Mostly known for his Pokémon Aaah! website, which was the first website that featured fan made fake Pokémon TCG cards.

Is currently a Senior at San Francisco State University. Is also a short filmmaker and comic artist, producing work through P-Tip Productions, his fledgling production company. In 2004, after ending regular updates on FakeCard.com, he started focusing on his comic work and has since been working on his webcomic series, Moose River.

Has no clue why he's even posting at Bulbapedia.
