Hi there, I'm moltres93 and I'm relatively new to Bulbapedia and wikis in general. I am an avid Pokémon collector, and spend most of my time here working on Project Merchandise, uploading pictures of my Pokémon items and adding information where I can.

Offline

My real name is Emma and I live in Tasmania, Australia. I’m super hyper and have lots of interests which I love to talk about with other people. I always try to be nice to everyone, though I prefer to spend time by myself to being creative, reading or organising my Pokémon collections. I always seem to be working on some kind of project; a drawing, a story, a comic, a sculpture or something. I also spend a lot of time with my boyfriend Ashley (Yelsha42 online) who also collects Pokémon merchandise. One day we hope to combine our collections to make one mega-awesome-super-huge collection XD

Pokémon

I have loved Pokémon since I was quite young, but for some reason I was never really interested in it until after the worldwide hype had ended. Ever since that “Gotta Catch ‘Em All” logo burned into my young impressionable mind, I’ve been hooked and have since strived to have the biggest Pokémon collection possible.

Favourites

My favourite Pokémon is Moltres and always has been. I know it’s stereotypical to have a legendary favourite, but the truth is I didn’t even know what a Legendary Pokémon was when I decided I loved the fire birdy. Moltres is now not just a cartoon character to me. It’s become my online alias: my second life. I’ve developed my own Moltres character through my artwork and I feel like it’s become a big part of me (yeah I know that’s cliché but it’s true XD).

My other favourite Pokémon are Charizard, Dragonair, Pidgeotto, Altaria, Bayleef, Charmeleon, Arcanine, Houndoom and Lapras.

Some of my other favourites include Ditto (only as other Pokémon with its cute little face!), Ninetales, Dewgong, Rapidash, Wooper, Dialga, Latios, Sandslash and Lugia.

Pokémon Collecting

I collect a lot of different Pokémon Merchandise. My main Pokémon collection consists of loads of plush, figures, toys, games etc. I also have quite a large Moltres collection, and one day I hope to acquire all the Moltres merchandise out there. I am also a card collector, and hope to complete all sets up until the end of Power Keepers, including promos, reverse holos and first editions.

Anime

I used to like the anime a lot when I was younger, but now I’m a little more dubious about watching it. It was, after all, the reason Pokémon was given a ‘childish’ label. Before the anime, Pokémon was a game for teenagers and young adults. When the anime was dubbed in western countries, 4Kids’ over-the-top censoring caused it to become a franchise for kids. This has caused me so much embarrassment from my friends and family, and even from complete strangers, who, when they find out I like Pokémon say, “but isn’t that for little kids?”. I hear the Diamond and Pearl anime is better and more mature, however I refuse to watch the new episodes due to the fact that PUSA heartlessly fired the original Pokémon cast for cheaper sound-alikes.

Games

I somewhat dislike the fourth generation of Pokémon. I feel like all the originality is gone and all the main series games are now just the same plot but with better graphics and new characters. The Pokémon themselves are also becoming less and less “Pokémon-like” (compared to earlier generations). Of course, there are lots of Pokémon characters and aspects from the fourth generation that I love (Turtwig, mini-games, bad-ass villains), but over-all the games are just becoming a bit repetitive. I usually just stick to playing Red or LeafGreen and the spin-off games. I own pretty much every pre-Diamond and Pearl Pokémon video game; however I haven’t even touched most of them as they are mainly for collection purposes.

I have a very specific way of playing the games. My main goal is to complete the Pokédex, evolve and train all my Pokémon to the highest level and give them all kick-ass nicknames. For me, beating the gyms is just a side-plot to unlock new areas to find new Pokémon XD I always catch the lowest evolutionary state of a Pokémon and evolve it myself, so as it evolves, I get the Pokémon’s entry in the Pokédex and I don’t have to catch and train each individual Pokémon in that evolution line.

Shipping

The only ship I really support is Rocketshipping. Since watching the first series of Pokémon as a kid, I’ve always wanted Jessie and James to get together, even though I don’t realistically believe it will happen. Since it’s pretty unlikely any ship will ever become canon, I believe all shipping theories are valid in the fandom world.
