- I used to run my own Pokémon site, Pokémon Aaah! for five years between April 10th, 1999 and May 10th, 2004.
- I played the Pokémon TCG from Base Set and ending with EX FireRed & LeafGreen.
- I've been a part of the Pojo, UPN, the PokeGym (Psylum, WizPoG AND its current incarnation), PokeMasters, Pokemon Abode AND Bulbagarden since just about the beginning of those sites.
- One version of my site was temporarily hosted at Bulbagarden back in 2001, by personal invite by Anenga, at http://pa.bulbagarden.com/
- I laid the foundation for a good portion of the TCG articles at Bulbapedia, as well as contributed a lot of info to those articles. A lot of the images about those early TCG sets (like set logos and icons) were images I scanned for my own site but later used here. Heck, you might consider me the Meowth346 of the TCG. (Or maybe Meowth346 is the Nick15 of the video games? :P)
- I'm also the first major Pokémon TCG graphical fake card maker (at least the first to popularize the concept), developing the first system of instructions and blanks that has evolved into what you know of today. Every other graphical fake card maker can pretty much trace the the lineage of influences back to me. Not to toot my own horn or anything. :)
I still love Pokémon, but not enough to dedicate my time and life to it like I used to back in the day. I still desire to leave *A* mark upon the Pokémon community at large, so I try my best to keep Bulbapedia up-to-date. Thus, I'm here.
Eventually I'm gonna trick out this profile, like how people have their team info, awards and other junk on their pages. :D
