Hi there. I'm pumpkinking0192, but you can also call me pumpkinking, pumpkin, Jack, David, or anything else you can come up with... I'm not picky, as long as I can tell that I'm the one to whom you're talking.

I mostly correct grammatical issues, links, templates and other aesthetic stuff. I'd much rather chop up someone else's writing and make it nice-looking than write it myself, so I won't be creating pages or sections much around here. Poor grammar and lack of adherence to style frustrate me, but don't worry. In virtually all cases, I'm just mad at the text you wrote; I'm not mad at you yourself.

I passionately detest usertags, so for your convenience, here are some of the basic things I look for in others' usertag sections: I'm male. As of this edit, I'm 21 (born January 1992). I was born and raised in central Texas and currently live in southeast Texas. I'm a college senior majoring in English literature with a minor in print journalism. I am the copy editing chief at my school's campus newspaper. My native language is English, and I also speak French at a (very) basic conversational level.

I am a frequent user of GPX Plus and Veekun, but other than those two and Bulbapedia, I barely visit any Pokémon fansites. I'm a big fan of Fakemon, though, and am in the beginning stages of putting together a Fakemon dex/region of my own. You can see its progress on Tumblr.

My talk page is open to all; if you have something to say that's not Wiki-related, e-mail me through Bulbapedia or feel free to create an account on the GPX forums and message me there (username pumpkinking0192).


Grammatical quibbles I periodically use the search function to systematically correct:

  • wherein which (The former is not correct when talking about something that happened in a game/episode/etc.)
  • typingtype or type combination ("Type" is only a verb when you're using your computer keyboard. In Pokémon, it's either a noun or part of an adjectival phrase such as "Fire-type moves".)
