Hullo all! I'm Rissole and I'm Australian!
I'll start with my journey. I started with Gold version, which to this day still holds a place in my heart. I'm not exactly sure when I got it, I think it may have been around the time of the release of it. I bought Silver as well, but I rarely played it, as it was more of a gift for my sister.
So as Pokemon games started becoming more popular, the Advanced generation was released! My friends and I battled competitively, though I didn't really know the basic rules of having a great team at that point.
Anyway, I got Sapphire which I loved! Different from Gold, but a great experience. I remember my main team consisted of Sceptile (my friends had all chosen Torchic, but I wanted to be differenent haha), Kyogre, Latias, Regirock, Regice and Registeel. Yes I know it was a uber team, but like I said I was just getting the hang of competitive battling.
This continued in FireRed, with a team of Venusaur, Mewtwo, Tyranitar, Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos. This made me the second strongest out of my group, however I was using 4 (5 if you count Tyranitar) ubers again. I loved that game, and I believe I was only a couple of pokemon short of completing the National Dex. Also the game I caught my first Shiny, a Psyduck! :)
Than Emerald came out. Huge improvement on Ruby and Sapphire in my eyes. Loved the Battle Frontier. This was the first game I didn't want ubers. Saying that, I had Swampert, Typhlosion, Shiny Golduck from FR, and I can't actually remember what else I had as it was a long time ago.
Anyway, Emerald came out at the end of Primary School for me. Starting High School, Pokemon wasn't really the thing anymore, though some of my friends still played it. This kinda stopped me playing them, so when Pearl and Diamond were released, I didn't buy them. Mainly because I didn't have a DS, but when I did get one later on, I still didn't buy them just because I had lost interest. Anyway, the friend who was stronger than me still played Pokemon, and for some reason wanted my Sapphire, FireRed and Emerald to trade my Pokemon to his Pearl. I was fine with this, as I didn't play them anymore.
What happened though is we had different cliques of friends, eventually stopped talking and weren't friends anymore. This resulted in him 'stealing' the games from me. When asked to give them back, he said no because I had given them to him to keep. I knew he was lying just so he could keep them, but there was nothing I could do. This was about 4 years ago mind you.
In between that time and now, I've played my only remaining Pokemon game, Gold, a couple of times still. Battery hasn't died so I'm still happy. Silver I still rarely play. And I do have the roms for most Gen III games, but it's just not the same as owning a gameboy cartridge.
So anyway, I randomly decided to listen to some Gen III music. This made me so nostalgic that I craved to play Pokemon again, so I jailbroke my iPod and put and Emerald Rom on it! I haven't played a Gen IV or V game, so I went to a store the other day to buy Platinum and HeartGold, but I could only find Black and White. Which is fine, but I'd rather have a look at Sinnoh, it's story and Gen IV pokemon before I move onto Unova.
Anyway, some rom hack searching led me to this site, so here I am! Not sure how active I'll be, but I'll post from time to time. :)
Oh yeah, should probably mention my favourite pokemon is Typhlosion! I understand why everyone seems to love Charizard, as they started on Gen I. Same with those who started on Gen III and Blaziken.
Man I didn't think it was that long!
