Pokémon has been a favorite pastime since I had seen a few bits of the anime's first season, back when it first aired in the US.  I got my Red version in October 1998, and I was hooked.  I followed that up with 2 main handheld versions in each generation (3 counting FireRed, 4 counting HeartGold/SoulSilver), and quite a few side games as well.  In my opinion, each generation gets better and better.  Better graphics, longer storyline, and yes, an extra 100-or-so beasts to track down.  Call it tedious, call a few species uninspired, but I enjoy it.  I also played the TCG for a few years.  I will always love the games, and am in the process of watching a bunch of anime episodes and movies that I've missed.  I've started reading through [[Pokémon Adventures|Pokémon Special]] too, though currently I've only gotten to the Yellow chapter.

I had known about Bulbapedia for a while before finally registering an account on September 17, 2008.  I originally registered for the sole purpose of fixing spelling and grammar mistakes that I had found, but soon learned of all the different projects that were around.  It seemed that almost everything was taken care of, except for [[Bulbapedia:Project Walkthroughs|Project Walkthroughs]].  The place was pretty dead when I first found it, so I've sort of made it my mission to see it completed.  I started off by building on the Red & Blue walkthrough last summer, picking up after the first page or two where the last person had left off.  Once that was finished, I started the Gold & Silver walkthrough from scratch, and eventually completed it with little outside input.  I worked on Yellow after that, then reformatted the FireRed/LeafGreen guide.  Like with Gold/Silver, it took me about two months, but I've finally completed the walkthrough for HeartGold/SoulSilver.  While I still consider myself a small-time editor, I have finally amassed over 1300 (total) edits.  That may not seem like much, but I go for quality, not quantity - <i>isn't that how it's supposed to be anyway?</i>  My goal (besides seeing the entire 'Pedia finished one day) is to assist in bringing about complete, comprehensive walkthroughs for every applicable game in the Pokémon series.
