EelamStyleZ's debut in the [[Pokémon world]] coincided with the ownership of his very first Game Boy. However, both the world of Pokémon or video gaming were not new to him.  
EelamStyleZ's debut in the [[Pokémon world]] coincided with the ownership of his very first Game Boy. However, both the world of Pokémon or video gaming were not new to him at that time.  


Since 1995, he owned a [[wp:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Entertainment System]], and enjoyed playing ''[[wp:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[wp:Battletoads|Battletoads]]'', and a [[wp:World Wrestling Entertainment|World Wrestling Federation]]-based action game, until 1999 when the system was damaged due to an in-home incident. EelamStyleZ was well aware of the growing nature of the [[wp:Pokémon franchise|Pokémon franchise]] during the late 90s; the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] was the fad in his [[wp:Toronto|Toronto]] elementary school at the time. After finding an abandoned pack of Pokémon trading cards in 1999 in his school, he decided to keep them and later won many more trading cards in duels with schoolmates, with the help of an older student who was proficient in the trading card game. The exact cards that were contained in the set is not in memory, but it is believed that a [[Poliwag (TCG)|Poliwag]] card was used by the older student to succeed several consecutive duels, winning many additional cards for EelamStyleZ. The pack of Pokémon cards was later lost, but EelamStyleZ would purchase cards during later years.

The pack of Pokémon cards was later lost, but EelamStyleZ would purchase cards during later years. Thanks to his association with the cards, he was familiar with a few Pokémon characters.


Thanks to his association with the cards, he was able to learn many Pokémon characters, such as {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Misty]], and [[Professor Oak]]. In January 2000, EelamStyleZ began to enjoy the Pokémon franchise more as he was was presented with a [[Game Boy Color]], along with [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver Version]] as his game. He started the game off choosing {{p|Totodile}} as his [[starter Pokémon]]. After restarting the game many times (due to frustration when he did not know where to find the next [[gym leader]] after [[Falkner]] and often having his Pokémon faint from poisoning in [[Ilex Forest]]), he finally progressed in the game and through struggles in various parts of the game (especially when challenging the [[Elite Four]] for the first time), he completed the game (defeated [[Red (game)|Red]]) in 2001. One of his most memorable moments during the gameplay of Silver was when he hummed along with the [[Lance|Champion Lance]]/Red battle theme and the theme played in [[Saffron City]].

One of his most memorable moments during the gameplay of Silver was when he hummed along with the [[Lance|Champion Lance]]/Red battle theme and the theme played in [[Saffron City]].  


EelamStyleZ began to own a [[Nintendo 64]] in 2001 and purchased [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] for it, which came with a [[Transfer Pak]]. His growing addiction to the games prompted him to purchase {{v2|Crystal}}. He purchased an extra [[Transfer Pak]] later, which helped him trade Pokémon between Silver and Crystal via Pokémon Stadium 2, and after making his first step into [[Generation I]] with the purchase of {{v2|Blue}}, he was able use the two Transfer Paks and the three versions to reach his highest number of Pokémon caught yet in a single game, just over 220, recorded in his [[Pokédex]] in Crystal. He later purchased the first [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] and enjoyed playing a friend's copy of [[Pokémon Snap]].

He also purchased [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] and enjoyed playing a friend's copy of [[Pokémon Snap]].


Two years later, EelamStyleZ was surprised to learn about the release of the successors of the Generation II games, {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, bringing with them the [[Generation III|third generation]]. Since he had not owned a [[Game Boy Advance]], yet had the urge to see the changes from Generation II in the new games, he downloaded the [[wp:VisualBoyAdvance|VisualBoyAdvance]] [[wp:emulator|emulation software]] on his computer, along with a [[wp:ROM image|ROM image]] of Ruby and ultimately played the entire game on the emulator. He continued to use the emulator to play {{v2|LeafGreen}} and {{v2|Emerald}} as well. In 2004, he was able to purchase a [[Game Boy Advance SP]] and the following year, he purchased Emerald and played it again.

As of 2006, he gave away his Nintendo 64 and its two Pokémon games and sold his Blue, Silver, and Crystal versions. The whereabouts of his Game Boy Color went unknown. After he was presented with a [[wp:PlayStation Portable|PlayStation Portable]], marking his first non-[[Nintendo]] system ownership, he traded in his Emerald at [[wp:EB Games|EB Games]] for [[wp:Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories|Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] ([[wp:Grand Theft Auto (series)|Grand Theft Auto]] being his second most favourite video game series after Pokémon). He also gave away his Game Boy Advance SP and later purchased a [[wp:PlayStation 2|PlayStation 2]], leaving him with no further Nintendo-related products.

With the opening of [[Generation IV]] and release of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, he continued to rely on emulators. He used [[wp:NO$GBA|NO$GBA]] to play Pearl. Later on, he was able to borrow a friend's [[Nintendo DS]] that came with Pearl and Ruby versions. Along with many other die-hard Pokémon fans, especially those stemming from Generation II, EelamStyleZ also widely speculated Generation II-remakes, and his dream became a reality with the official announcement of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} in 2009. Since the Japanese release, he enjoyed listening to the remade themes from Generation II posted by fans on YouTube and followed up on new information reported about the games on Bulbapedia. Intially, he wanted to play the games on emulator but after finding out about glitches that occurred in the ROM images, he purchased SoulSilver (to commemorate his ownership of Silver) after its North American release in 2010 (marking his first Pokémon purchase since 2005) and is currently enjoying it on his friend's Nintendo DS. He is in the process of shifting over his caught Pokémon from Pearl and Ruby into SoulSilver.

Like other Pokémon fans, he is eagerly waiting for the release of {{2v2|Black|White}} and is hopeful to have a chance to play those games as well. However, he is currently debating whether he should give up playing Pokémon games in the future indefinetly as life with university is getting tough and his Pokémon addiction is only making it worse.

EelamStyleZ has been playing the handheld main series Pokémon games, as well as a few of the Pokémon console games, since 2000. Debuting with Pokémon Silver Version for the Game Boy Color, he has fully played at least one game in each generation.

As he was introduced to the world of Pokémon during the franchise's second generation, he considers himself to be native to the Johto region and has a nostalgic and sentimental connection with the Pokémon and games that were created in that generation. In total, he has played seven Pokémon handheld games and three Pokémon console games. He also owns five Pokémon books and a few Pokémon trading cards.

History

EelamStyleZ's debut in the Pokémon world coincided with the ownership of his very first Game Boy. However, both the world of Pokémon or video gaming were not new to him at that time.

EelamStyleZ was well aware of the growing nature of the Pokémon franchise during the late 90s; the Pokémon Trading Card Game was the fad in his elementary school at the time. After finding an abandoned pack of Pokémon trading cards in 1999 in his school, he decided to keep them and later won many more trading cards in duels with schoolmates, with the help of an older student who was proficient in the trading card game. The exact cards that were contained in the set could not be remembered, but it is believed that a Poliwag card was used to succeed in duels, one after another, winning many additional cards for EelamStyleZ. The pack of Pokémon cards was later lost, but EelamStyleZ would purchase cards during later years. Thanks to his association with the cards, he was familiar with a few Pokémon characters.

In 2000, EelamStyleZ was presented with a Game Boy Color along with a copy of Pokémon Silver Version. He began the game choosing Totodile as his starter Pokémon. After restarting the game many times (due to frustration when he did not know where to find the next gym leader after Falkner or often having his Pokémon faint from poisoning in Ilex Forest), he finally progressed in the game and through a few struggles (especially at the Pokémon League), he completed the game (defeated Red) in 2001. One of his most memorable moments during the gameplay of Silver was when he hummed along with the Champion Lance/Red battle theme and the theme played in Saffron City.

EelamStyleZ began to own a Nintendo 64 in 2001 and purchased Pokémon Stadium 2 for it, which came with a Transfer Pak. His growing addiction to the games prompted him to purchase Crystal. He purchased an extra Transfer Pak later, which helped him trade Pokémon between Silver and Crystal via Pokémon Stadium 2, and after making his first step into Generation I with the purchase of Blue, he was able use the two Transfer Paks and the three versions to reach his highest number of Pokémon caught yet in a single game, just over 220, recorded in his Pokédex in Crystal. He also purchased Pokémon Stadium and enjoyed playing a friend's copy of Pokémon Snap.

Two years later, EelamStyleZ was surprised to learn about the release of the successors of the Generation II games, Ruby and Sapphire, bringing with them the third generation. Since he had not owned a Game Boy Advance, yet had the urge to see the changes from Generation II in the new games, he downloaded the VisualBoyAdvance emulation software on his computer, along with a ROM image of Ruby and ultimately played the entire game on his computer. He continued to use the emulator to play LeafGreen and Emerald as well. In 2004, he was able to purchase a Game Boy Advance SP and the following year, he purchased Emerald and played it again.

As of 2006, he gave away his Nintendo 64 and its two Pokémon games and sold his Blue, Silver, and Crystal versions. The whereabouts of his Game Boy Color went unknown. After he was presented with a PlayStation Portable, marking his first non-Nintendo system ownership, he traded in his Emerald at EB Games for Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (the series being his second most favourite after Pokémon). He also gave away his Game Boy Advance SP and later purchased a PlayStation 2, leaving him with no further Nintendo-branded products.

With the opening of Generation IV and release of Diamond and Pearl, he continued to rely on emulators. He used NO$GBA to play Pearl. Later on, he was able to borrow a friend's Nintendo DS that came with Pearl and Ruby versions. Along with many other die-hard Pokémon fans, EelamStyleZ also widely speculated Generation II-remakes, and his dream became a reality with the official announcement of HeartGold and SoulSilver in 2009. Since the Japanese release, he enjoyed listening to the games' remade themes posted by fans on YouTube and followed up on new information reported about the games on Bulbapedia. Initially insisting on playing the games via emulator, he instead purchased SoulSilver after its North American release in 2010 (marking his first Pokémon purchase since 2005) and is currently enjoying it on his friend's Nintendo DS. He is in the process of shifting over his caught Pokémon from Pearl and Ruby into SoulSilver.

Like other Pokémon fans, he is eagerly waiting for Generation V's Black and White and is hopeful to have a chance to play those games as well. However, he is currently debating whether he should give up playing Pokémon games in the future as life with university is getting tough and his Pokémon addiction is only making it worse!
