About Me

I'm an 18 year-old college/senior high school student currently living in Milwaukee, WI. I'm studying for my Visual Communications certificate, specializing in Interactive Graphic Design based on Web Design and Development. What a mouthful! It's basically putting information in relevant places for the user. I'm not an expert at it but I do try my best to make online experiences more pleasant. Though this might change once I decide on something shinier that keeps my attention span.

Pokémon Fandom

I've been a fan of Pokémon ever since it started airing around '95 or '96. Whew, that's a long time.

Anime

In fact, I remember watching the commercials before it aired! The excitement was almost unbearable. And if my memory is correct, I remember even counting down the days to the premier.

That day, after watching the show the first time, my friends and I went to the little park in front of the house where we used to live. We played all afternoon pretending we were Trainers and Pokémon. My most vivid memory could probably be that time I acted as a Beedrill and chased everyone to the monkeybars. Then I was a grouchy Bulbasaur and battled my other friends' Pokémons. It was an amazing day. If I could only turn back time...

Games

In 1997, after moving around too much and ditching Pokémon for Sakura Card Captors, my mom's friend's brother (we lived with them for a while) showed me his Pokémon Gold and Silver versions on his GameBoy Color. He wouldn't let me play them for some reason. Then one day he went to school and I sneaked into his room to play the game for a few hours and continued doing so for the next couple of weeks. Sadly, I couldn't save the games but every new adventure seemed more entertaining than the last. Luckily for me, he never knew a thing.

Although my first games for the GameBoy Color were The Lion King and Kirby's Pinball Adventure, my favorite game of all time for the handled was Pokemon Crystal which I bought in 2001. I later acquired Pokemon Sapphire which I played with my sister's GameBoy Advanced. I can't wait to buy a DS and get the newest game available.
