this site actually runs off the Bulbagarden servers.
So that's why I've gotten 503 errors here.
You can't escape them...
BTW, anyone trying to fix the server problems at the moment, or are the tech guys currently unavailable? BMGf is totally locked up again. Never mind, it was fixed while I wrote this lengthy reply.
I'm UltimateSephiroth, a 18-year-old (soon 19) upper secondary school student from Finland. I'm actively contributing in various sites on the Internet (at some point, I counted I had registration e-mails from nearly 200 sites in my primary hotmail account). What's worth mentioning is that I'm an an administrator on Bulbagarden's media repository, Bulbagarden Archives, and on the Finnish Game Maker forum (although I haven't been very active there lately). I'm also a moderator on the Shop Subcenter of Bulbagarden Forums.
I'm a long-time Pokémon player, as I started my video game journey with a teal Game Boy Color and a copy of Pokémon Red Version. As the time has passed, I've acquired at least one main series game from each generation (Red and Yellow from Gen I, Gold from Gen II, Sapphire, Colosseum and XD from Gen III, and Platinum from Gen IV).
I've also played The Legend of Zelda games, of which I've completed (story-wise) Ocarina of Time (the GC version on the Collector's Edition disc), The Minish Cap and Oracle of Ages (I don't own this, but I borrowed it). I've also played the original one, Zelda 2, Link's Awakening DX, Majora's Mask and The Wind Waker.
When it comes to Mario games, I've played Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, Mario Golf (still one of my favorites), Luigi's Mansion, Super Mario Sunshine, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Mario Kart DS. Of these I've completed story-wise SMB Deluxe, Mario Golf, PMTTYD and Kart DS, though I don't own a copy of TTYD. I played it all the way through on a few visits at my friend.
My school grades are generally quite good (I don't want to say top-notch, though many would say they are that, hehe), though they're started to go down a bit since I haven't had the mood to study so hard anymore :3 I can speak Finnish as my native language; other languages I know well are English (quite fluently, though some mistakes here and there, particularly with prepositions and such stuff), German and Swedish. I can also speak a little Estonian, and I know a few random words or phrases in French, Spanish and Japanese. I'd like to know Japanese better, so I've taught myself the hiragana and katakana symbols
I'm also a grammar nazi (with the exception of IM programs, IRC chats and other instant communication methods). I don't like when people write entirely in lowercase or type otherwise bad text. Even the absence of the accent in Pokémon distubs me, but I can live with it since I know it's harder to type the é character on a US layout keyboard; it's relatively easy on the Finnish layout. You can see from this post that I like to use parentheses a lot; that may seem to someone like I had problems with connecting sentences, and that might be the case. I'm not a native, after all :p
I guess that was enough of an introduction
Feel free to PM me if you see mistakes in my English.
