I can be incredibly shy and introverted to those I don't know, or when trying to get involved in a new community like this, so I apologize if I'm not going out of my way to talk to too many people. It's not that I don't like you, I promise. It's just how I roll, even on the webernet.

I'm a college student planning to major in mathematics and economics. I stay fairly up to date with current events, and read economic research in my free time, so I'm always interested to chat about that if you're interested. As much as I hate hashtags, I must say, #losersunite!

I'm lucky enough to have a very beautiful girlfriend (in real life, not on the internet) who I reintroduced to Pokémon when we began dating. Now she's trapped with the game just like me (:

I really don't tolerate drama, ESPECIALLY over the internet. If needed, I can settle disputes, but if you're looking to pick an internet fight, you won't get one out of me. Not my style. I think it's silly.

Not sure how much you guys know about gaming outside of here, but I have a very loose connection to the OpTic gaming team, and there is a slim chance I will be joining their team (as a creative strategist and public relations master, NOT player) as OpTic 3.14 (told you I'm a nerd). No clue whether or not this will go through, but hey, I'm always optimistic.

I am attempting to get 2-3 articles a week in (depending on if there are that many newsworthy things left to report on), and enjoy writing about saucy topics that get a lot of comments in the forums. I take great pride when my articles are the ones most commented on the forums.

==My Pokéhistory==
I've been playing Pokémon since it became international in 1998. My first Pokémon game was Red version, and the first Pokémon I ever picked was Charmander. That is why he is by far my favorite Pokémon(and before the h8ers get to me, I know, Charizard is overrated in competitive battling). I owned Red, Blue, and Yellow, and eventually compelted my Blue version Pokédex with all 151 Pokémon (including the event Mew released at the 1999 movies).

I loved Gen. II, and Gen III. was not bad, but Gen IV. was the one to challenge my relationship with Pokémon the most. I did not enjoy Pokémon Diamond very much at all, causing me to take a brief hiatus from Pokémon. However, when HGSS came out, I knew it was time to come back, and that's when I truly got introduced into the more "serious" world of Pokémon via Smogon, Bulbapedia, etc. That's when I really started becoming a Pokémon superfan beyond just playing the games.

In terms of competitive Pokémon, I don't really do too much.

I'm currently not accepting battle requests, unless you want to battle on a simulator like good ol' Shoddy Battle (...or even the more modern ones I suppose).

I take great pride in trying to have a 100% legit completed Pokédex.

I do hope to one day be on the staff, hopefully for Bulbanews. While it may or may not happen, I remain hopeful that- regardless of the result of the staff drive- it could happen one day eventually. When I have more time, I plan on making some more serious edits on Bulbapedia other than just correcting confusing grammar, which is my typical contribution at this time.

My talk page is always open for anybody who wants to talk. It's probably the best way to get a hold of me right now. I can't promise an immediate response, but I don't really ignore people on here and will certainly respond as soon as I come back on here.

Hello. My name is Bailey. I'm a writer for Bulbanews. If you have any basic questions, please run them by me. My superiors are extra busy all the time, and I can probably help you with whatever you need!

My articles
