nuva-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 [[wp:Northumberland|Northumberland]] – others say he was born sometime in 1986… in [[wp:Newcastle upon Tyne|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==
*nuva-kal hates it when you spell his real name with one 'n'.
*nuva-kal’s pseudonym originates from the words "Nuva" and "Kal", two words associated with [[wp:Bionicle|Bionicle]]; a [[wp:Lego|Lego]] franchise, to which he holds an immense interest.
*nuva-kal was 2 when he received his first Lego set, to which he has continued to collect over the years. He was 13 when first exposed to Pokémon.
*In his spare time, nuva-kal likes to assemble models, sketch and play video games. He considers his gaming interests rather diverse, following such franchises as: [[wp:Star Wars|Star Wars]], [[wp:Resident Evil|Resident Evil]], [[wp:Metroid (series)|Metroid]], [[wp:Metal Gear (series)|Metal Gear Solid]], [[wp:Ace Combat|Ace Combat]], [[wp:Tekken (series)|Tekken]], [[wp:Grand Theft Auto (series)|Grand Theft Auto]], [[wp:Sonic the Hedgehog (series)|Sonic]], [[wp:Mario|Mario]], [[wp:Spyro (series)|Spyro]], [[wp:Dead Space (video game)|Dead Space]], [[wp:Mirror's Edge|Mirror's Edge]], [[wp:LittleBigPlanet|LittleBigPlanet]] and of course, Pokémon.
*He also considers his musical tastes to be quite passive. Although fond of Indie, Rock and Electro, he generally likes any kind of music that makes you want to go with the beat (within suitable tasteful boundaries – none of this rap or chav music nonsense).
*Previously, he had little interest in sport, but has branched out to become fond of a few over time; namely motor racing, tennis and badminton.

Profile

nuva-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.
