| Hi there. I'm Ariano. Or should I say '''we''' are Ariano, as there are identical twin brothers behind this truly marvelous username. We've been fans of Pokémon since... well, for a long time. The story of how we got know Pokémon is somewhat embarrassing and we still feel bad for most of it (please don't hate us): During our first days in a new kindergarten, we teased a boy. After a chat with nurses and parents we settled the thing with him. We (oddly) became friends and we still are. He introduced us to Pokémon, first by bringing some TCG cards. We were astounded by the new world and after some time we saw our first anime episode, ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''. Our first games were Gold and Crystal, some time after we both got Sapphire, followed by FireRed and LeafGreen. Then there came the time when our Pokémon experience got to a totally new level when we got Diamond and Pearl, later Platinum and HeartGold and SoulSilver, all of which make the fourth generation the best one for both of us. Now we are playing Black and White versions and itching to play Black and White versions 2. We got Blue version few weeks ago (better late than never!). | | Hi there. I'm Ariano.

| We started reading [[Pokémon manga]] about two and a half years ago, first [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] and then [[Pokémon Adventures]]. We mainly have access to [[Viz Media]]'s translations as no [[Chuang Yi]] editions are sold in Finland (Viz versions are only sold in some specialist comic stores). We trust both, though possibly Viz is more reliable (hang us if you must). | | We started reading [[Pokémon manga]] about two and a half years ago, first [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] and then [[Pokémon Adventures]].

Yes. I've got two (identical) Shiny Gulpin, believe it or not. And I honestly don't like it. They're so identical it's creepy. Both are male, were caught on route 110, were at level 13, have the relaxed nature (they have identical stats due to that), have the same ability (Liquid Ooze) and were possibly caught on the same patch of grass (the eight northernmost patches)...

Trivia
- We share our birthdate with Game Freak, though we were born in 1995.
- We only recently found out that we are identical.
- One of the best things about being twins is the fact that we can always trade with each other if we need something trading-related.
Name origin
Ariano is possibly derived from Hidan no Aria. Also sounds similar to Ariana. Ari is also a common male given name in Finland, although neither of us have it.
This user has a Shiny Blitzle.
