nuva-kal is a member of Bulbapedia who focuses on aspects of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, and is the current TCG Project Leader. He has a wide experience with regards to collecting and identifying cards, owning many English cards and knowledge of rare or little-known Japanese promotional cards. As such, any TCG-related queries or ideas should be directed at him. He has also recently become involved with the development of more niche areas of the franchise, particularly Pokémon Battle e, the Pokémon Trading Figure Game and Pokémon Battrio. Profilenuva-kal's real name has been lost to the ages, as it has been so long since anyone has uttered it, although some prefer to call him Glenn. Some say he roamed the earth millennia ago and was recently resurrected from the remains of a mysterious fossil found in the hills of Northumberland – others say he was born sometime in 1986… in Newcastle. Coincidentally, both sources say this happened on a Tuesday. nuva-kal first got into the Pokémon phenomenon after watching the anime when it was first aired in the UK. At first he thought nothing of it, but his interest gradually increased over the coming weeks, fuelled further by the release of the TCG and Game Boy games. While his love for the Anime is still strong, he rarely gets the opportunity to enjoy new episodes, as they all now air on satellite TV. His love for the TCG goes on, now being the only member of his friends who still collects the cards. This was also the main reason why he joined Bulbapedia, to further the development of the TCG categories. He also still enjoys the games very much, and plays them with his brother whenever they have time. Trivia
