Steven Tyler Maxim (born September 17, 1990), better known by his pseudonym Vixen Windstorm, is a musician, as well as an administrator of MansonWiki. He is a founder of the band Godsolid, although he had an involvement in other musical movements prior to founding the band. Windstorm is also an avid video game player, including but not limited to Pokémon.
Pokémon
Windstorm has, between 1998 and 2008, obtained seven Pokémon video games. These include Pokémon Blue, Pokémon Trading Card Game, Pokémon Yellow, Pokémon Gold (although is convinced that his friend will never return it), Pokémon Silver, Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon Diamond; he also has Pokémon Battle Revolution on order. Of similar note, following the release of Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire, Windstorm never actually acquired the games as initially hoped for, and by 2008 unused copies may be difficult to obtain; leading to the possibility of used copies instead.
Windstorm's interest in Pokémon subsided over the years, save for once every summer where he and his friends would have a "Pokémon high" where they would abruptly begin playing consecutively for both single player and connectivity purposes. By Christmas 2007 however, Windstorm had received a copy of Pokémon Diamond (which he had proposed for after playing a friend's Pearl version). Initially the game was decent, but with further gameplay it starting really leaving an impression. After defeating the Pokémon League, Windstorm began embarking on several other personal endeavors in the game, such as leveling his Pokémon and attempting to capture them all (a feat that has been lasting since the beginning of January); Windstorm also currently uses a copy of Pokémon FireRed for migration purposes. A leisurely list of Pokémon Windstorm currently has obtained in Pokémon Diamond can be seen here.

Though Windstorm owns a number of Pokémon video games, he currently only devotes himself to Pokémon Diamond. While he used a copy of Pokémon FireRed to migrate Kanto-exclusive Pokémon, he has since migrated the majority of Pokémon that must be obtained in this manner, with a few exceptions including starter Pokémon, Kabuto (as he selected Omanyte at Mt. Moon), and Hitmonlee (as he selected Hitmonchan at the Fighting Dojo), which will later be obtained after restarting the FireRed file.
As of February 25, 2008, Windstorm's Pokédex has recorded 330 different Pokémon species encountered, while having obtained 223. In actuality, Windstorm stores his Pokémon in Bebe's PC, dedicating each box to 30 Pokémon, and placing them in order of their National Dex number. Each Pokémon Windstorm truly classifies as obtained are ones that are presently owned in the game, not ones that appear in the Pokédex but have since evolved and can no longer be found, physically. Bearing this mindset, Windstorm actually considers himself to own around 210 different Pokémon species at the moment, thirteen less than what his Pokédex acknowledges.
Pokémon trading
While Windstorm uses FireRed as well to help with obtaining Pokémon in Diamond, there are certain Pokémon that are not available in either version which opens the door for potential trading. Windstorm has so far used the Global Trade Station in Jubilife City to obtain a Pinsir, an example of an otherwise unobtainable, in his case, Pokémon. Other Pokémon Windstorm is looking for include a Sandshrew, Vulpix, Magmar (to also be used to breed a Magby, killing two birds with one stone) and Slowpoke. These Pokémon will make obtaining the Kanto Pokédex a possible task (completing the role of FireRed), before moving on to fully focusing on the later Pokémon.
Windstorm, at the moment, owns only a handful of possible trading Pokémon, though each are fairly rare or even unobtainable otherwise in Generation IV games so far. At the moment, Windstorm has available for trading a Farfetch'd, Scyther, Jynx, and Snorlax; soon enough, a Lickitung and a second Snorlax will also be available for trades).
For users who are interested in any of these four Pokémon (or even the Lickitung or second Snorlax which will be available shortly) and who have either a Sandshrew, Vulpix, Magmar, or Slowpoke (or their evolutions, excluding Magmar's evolution, Magmortar), you can leave a message on my talk page and I will certainly get back to you. I'm up for fairly equivalent trades such as my Scyther for a Magmar or my Farfetch'd for a Slowpoke (not as equivalent as the first example, but meh), and so on, as well as slightly exaggerated ones such as my Snorlax for a Sandshrew. Also, levels don't concern me because I'll end up leveling them until evolution anyways – the Pokémon I have up for trade are between levels 31 and 54, and I'm still open to trading for something as low as level 1; as long as it meets my species requirements, there's no issue. And YES I broke the third-person rule seen throughout my user pages; you try writing a trade request in third-person!
