I have been playing Pokémon since the summer before my freshman year of high school. Initially, I played exclusively with emulators. The first game I beat as such was Pokémon Blue, in which I started with Squirtle. After starting to learn the ins and outs of Pokémon games with the help of experienced friends and Strategy Wiki, I can say that the player who inspired me to advance to Generation II and the rest of the series, starting with his Crystal Let's Play, was Chuggaaconroy.In my sophomore year, I bought a DS Lite off a friend, which has since died and been replaced, and the first game I beat legitimately was Pokémon Diamond, in which I started with Chimchar.

In the last five years, I have assembled the largest collection of Pokémon games among my peers. My main series games include Blue, Yellow, and all twenty-three games of the last six generations. I also have Stadium 1 and 2, Colosseum, XD, and Battle Revolution. I don't shame people that want to play with glitches and hacks and will gladly go nuts with them on emulators; however, I abhor the idea of having them on my cartridges, so I trade between multiple systems, including a 3DS, a 2DS, a Game Boy Advance and a Game Boy Advance SP. I also have a Wii, a Nintendo e-Reader, the original Eon Ticket and a Nintendo 64. I have kept or ordered cases for each game, and have patronized Custom Game Cases to house the Game Boy family and Nintendo 64 games.
