Oh hi. I'm TTEchidna. You might know me as the former Editor-in-Chief here, and the guy who decided to make every single template roundy. Well there you go. That's me then.
Oh look. It's that guy, TTEchidna. The bane of all editors. The guy who chased everyone away.


Since joining this wiki, I've made over 20,000 contributions just to the main namespace, excluding redirects. Pretty good, I suppose, for someone who was late to the party.
Yeah hi. If you didn't know already, I used to be in charge of this little (not really) section of Bulbagarden. And then I lost my goddamn mind. I suppose you could say it started with HGSS. I had nothing more to look forward to in Pokémon, really. It had come full circle, back to Johto. And sure, I was excited for Generation V, but I guess I just couldn't handle it.


Despite my seemingly all-encompassing knowledge of Pokémon (which I got by seeking out stuff so as to help out here) I'm not the only one you can bother for an answer, and indeed, am better suited for my current favorite role of upgrading our templates to be roundy and nice, and to fit as much good information together as possible. For help with general issues, why not check out the talk pages of [[Bulbapedia:Staff|other administrators]], as they're better in some aspects of the metaseries than I.
The traffic got to me. It still does. And I'm incredibly short with new editors, who seem to make the same mistakes that I've been correcting people on for five years. Half a decade. That's right, that's how long I've been fixing this damn wiki. I suppose it's just my frustration that no one's learned to lurk by now. That new users seem to just ignore their welcome message, and just jump in adding whatever random trivia they've pulled out of their asses. Or maybe it's my frustration that the fandom's just acting the exact same as they did four years ago, almost to the day, when Diamond and Pearl were new. "They're never making another game!" "Remakes of two generations ago are guaranteed!" "All the names suck!" "The new designs suck!" I'm sick of it. Quit whining. And if RSG5 happens, well, I hope that Hoenn won't suck as much as it did in Generation III.


In general, if there's some issue with the server, or Bulbapedia's down for some reason, I probably know about it as much as you do, and your best bet is to look at the forums (which is linked in the sidebar of every page). Archaic and evkl know more about the server's operation, so if they don't know something's wrong, tell them. And please, don't try refreshing twenty times. That just makes it worse. Give it a half hour or so, it'll be back.
==History==
What? Oh, with Pokémon? Got Yellow in 1999 after my parents won a Mew at the Toys R Us Black Friday event. Traded an Onix for that thing. I was crushed. But I had a Mew. And the reason to catch 'em all.


==Current HeartGold status==
So I got Red and Blue. And then I did catch 'em all.
{{User:TTEchidna/HeartGold Team}}


==My history with Pokémon==
And then Gold and Silver came out. It was amazing. I loved it. Started with Cyndaquil, as my brother, sister, and I had determined who we would choose from the nine-card TCG set we got from Japan. That set has influenced our starter choice from then until now.
I may have been late to join Bulbapedia, but I was certainly not that late in joining Pokémon itself. While I initially didn't like it very much because I had no idea what it was about, throughout 1999 I got a better look at it through kids I knew. I began my TCG collection then, but I didn't have a Game Boy to my name... heck, I barely had any games for N64. But eventually, that November, my parents waited in line for a chance to get the elusive #151, {{p|Mew}}. And out of so many, they were the ones who got it. I asked, of course, "Hey, there a chance I can get that in TCG format?" Nope. It was an event Mew. I needed a game. So, there you have it. I got {{game|Yellow}} and started off with {{p|Pikachu}}... and from there... went on my quest to always finish the Pokédex.


Then I got Red and Blue to finish the Pokédex. I finished each and got {{p|Mewtwo}}, but the one from Red was particularly a pain to catch... enough that I ran out of everything but Great Balls, and so ended up catching him in one. That was Psycho... but more on him on [[/Psychos|my subpage]].
Ruby and Sapphire came out. It was exciting, but then I found that GSC couldn't connect. I felt betrayed. I had no access to my old Pokémon. Including my favorite of them all, Typhlosion. Then FireRed and LeafGreen came, and I hoped for remakes of Gold and Silver. They never came for GBA.


I, unlike so many others when they start off, had advanced knowledge of {{shiny}} Pokémon, though, and was eagerly awaiting the release of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, and my chance to get my own, much like that shiny Oddish someone displayed. I got my wish... four times, in fact, not counting the [[red Gyarados]]. Go on and read about ''that'' over on [[/Shiny|my other subpage]].
Then Diamond and Pearl came. They had the same feel as GSC, since they introduced a lot of new evolutions. And I still hoped for my beloved remakes, especially when there were continuous hints throughout the DP series of the anime.


However, I was so focused on getting a shiny that I hadn't checked out what other new moves Pokémon would have... or even if they could be like Psycho. So it was a big surprise to me when I went and found Lugia in the Whirl Islands. Since it was level 70 (being my opposing version's mascot), it was just as hard as Mewtwo was in Red. Didn't help that it shared {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Recover}}, too, as its known moves. After catching it, I knew what it had to be: Neo Psycho.
And then Platinum came. No remakes. I was sad. It came to America. I had fun, starting with a Piplup, the first non-Fire-type starter I'd used since Yellow... But Piplup ultimately didn't fit with my most common type, and I relied on my Blaziken, which I had traded in from Diamond, to do most of the fighting.


Gen II I was set, I kicked ass and was quite happy with how my teams turned out. But then we got the announcement of {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}. I wanted it, like all the rest, to have the new Pokémon we'd known for a while, including {{p|Azurill}}. I was ready to go, but I hadn't planned it out very well. I intended fully to rely on my GSC Pokémon... which I soon found out ''were all unavailable''. WHAT. I hated Hoenn just for that. I couldn't get the Psychos back. They were trapped in the past. My shinies, too, were of no use. EverPsycho and NovaPsycho kept the Psycho team going until we got FRLG, where they picked back up from the beginning with Psycho (in a Great Ball again), but I got no shinies... None at all. Emerald came along and I began to try to get competitive, but it wasn't much use. I didn't get a single Frontier Symbol. Came to Lucy three times... but lost each one.
And Pokémon Sunday announced the remakes. To this day, I still feel like the Route 29 theme played in [[DP126]] when Ash and his friends are walking with Candice is the result of my request to not just see Route 29 on a Game Boy Color screen, and the repeated appearances of Cyndaquil make me feel like that's very much the case... Others may not think so, but hey, whatever, leave me in my little remake world.


So I was thrilled about Generation IV and its backwards compatibility. Finally. No restarting. But no, they restricted it to post-Ndex this time... so though they could come forward, they were stuck waiting as I beat the game '''''as fast as I could''''' to get them all forward. I didn't very much like Dialga, so I just boxed that thing. Cressy was what I wanted. LunaPsycho. It was here, in Gen IV, that I began to get competitive. I knew what to do, I looked at all moves, and I chose the ones that were the best. I began to EV train. I began to check IVs of wild Pokémon I've caught. I got my fourth (non-Gyarados) shiny, who became a Psycho herself and is one of my top battlers now.
Because hey. I know Midori Harada, and ''you don't''.


Oh hello what's this? TTE was right the whole time? Why yes, of course he was. And now I'm ready to import the Japanese SoulSilver, catch Lugia and name it ネオサイコ, and eagerly await the US versions.
==More to write?==
 
Not really. Third version's Grey. I'll have a team thing up here then if I'm not sick of the wiki by then.
Unless of course they're gonna be releasing all versions at once... hrm... But oh well.

Oh look. It's that guy, TTEchidna. The bane of all editors. The guy who chased everyone away.

Yeah hi. If you didn't know already, I used to be in charge of this little (not really) section of Bulbagarden. And then I lost my goddamn mind. I suppose you could say it started with HGSS. I had nothing more to look forward to in Pokémon, really. It had come full circle, back to Johto. And sure, I was excited for Generation V, but I guess I just couldn't handle it.

The traffic got to me. It still does. And I'm incredibly short with new editors, who seem to make the same mistakes that I've been correcting people on for five years. Half a decade. That's right, that's how long I've been fixing this damn wiki. I suppose it's just my frustration that no one's learned to lurk by now. That new users seem to just ignore their welcome message, and just jump in adding whatever random trivia they've pulled out of their asses. Or maybe it's my frustration that the fandom's just acting the exact same as they did four years ago, almost to the day, when Diamond and Pearl were new. "They're never making another game!" "Remakes of two generations ago are guaranteed!" "All the names suck!" "The new designs suck!" I'm sick of it. Quit whining. And if RSG5 happens, well, I hope that Hoenn won't suck as much as it did in Generation III.

History

What? Oh, with Pokémon? Got Yellow in 1999 after my parents won a Mew at the Toys R Us Black Friday event. Traded an Onix for that thing. I was crushed. But I had a Mew. And the reason to catch 'em all.

So I got Red and Blue. And then I did catch 'em all.

And then Gold and Silver came out. It was amazing. I loved it. Started with Cyndaquil, as my brother, sister, and I had determined who we would choose from the nine-card TCG set we got from Japan. That set has influenced our starter choice from then until now.

Ruby and Sapphire came out. It was exciting, but then I found that GSC couldn't connect. I felt betrayed. I had no access to my old Pokémon. Including my favorite of them all, Typhlosion. Then FireRed and LeafGreen came, and I hoped for remakes of Gold and Silver. They never came for GBA.

Then Diamond and Pearl came. They had the same feel as GSC, since they introduced a lot of new evolutions. And I still hoped for my beloved remakes, especially when there were continuous hints throughout the DP series of the anime.

And then Platinum came. No remakes. I was sad. It came to America. I had fun, starting with a Piplup, the first non-Fire-type starter I'd used since Yellow... But Piplup ultimately didn't fit with my most common type, and I relied on my Blaziken, which I had traded in from Diamond, to do most of the fighting.

And Pokémon Sunday announced the remakes. To this day, I still feel like the Route 29 theme played in DP126 when Ash and his friends are walking with Candice is the result of my request to not just see Route 29 on a Game Boy Color screen, and the repeated appearances of Cyndaquil make me feel like that's very much the case... Others may not think so, but hey, whatever, leave me in my little remake world.

Because hey. I know Midori Harada, and you don't.

More to write?

Not really. Third version's Grey. I'll have a team thing up here then if I'm not sick of the wiki by then.
