Hello stranger!
Here's my presentation.
Born, raised and live in France, I played my first game Pokemon through my cousin who lent me his game Pokemon Red and his big white GameBoy (Gameboy classic). I loved it from the first minutes, I played all day and even in the evening
(The game was in black and white and I was playing in the dark, it is possible !).
A year later or two , this same cousin lent me his Pokemon Gold, and I WA SHOCK ( Get the reference ? ) I was in love at first sight, I particularly loved the story between Ho-Oh and the three legendaries dogs and the musics too.
Pokemon Gold remains " to this day ! " my favorite version of all generations.
During all this years, I played almost all the existing Pokemons ( I loved the 2 TCG games on Gameboy too) , well ... except Pearl, X, Y, Black, White, B2, W2, Sun2, Moon2, Shield and Sword
( wich is quite a lot actually! ).
From 9 to 28 years old, I still play Pokemon and I'm not ashamed to say it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My favorite Pokemons :
1/ Milotic , I remember years ago hunting Feebas for 8H , I WA SHOCK ( get the reference or not yet ? ) when I found it, Milotic is one of the most beautiful things I saw in my life ).
2/ Umbreon , I loved to play it online, really hard to kill when you don't know it.
3/ Pokemon water in general ( also, Blue is my favorite color ).

My favorite games :
Pokemon Gold :
I was 9 when my cousin lent me his Pokemon Red game. A year later or two , this same cousin lent me his Pokemon Gold, and I WA SHOCK ( Get the reference ? ) I was in love at first sight, I particularly loved the story between Ho-Oh and the three legendaries dogs and the musics too.
Pokemon Gold remains " to this day ! " my favorite game ( At least Pokemon game ).
Suikoden Tierkries
The amount of characters you can have and the fact that they all have their personalities make this game one of my favorite games, I loved the story too.
Animal Crossing : Wild world.
Back then, my friend lent me his Animal Crossing on the Gamecube and I absolutely loved it, the fact that you could have your own house and optimise it really amazed me. I was kinda sad when my friend asked his game back haha. Then years later I played AC WW and the big difference was that it was a portable version and the Wifi added a big improvement to it.
Super Smash Bros
The one on GameCube, the best SMB if you play it competitively. I use to play it with my brothers.
We still playing to the Wii U version but the GC one was the best. My favorite character is Doctor Mario so far.
Alone in the dark : Jack is back.
The second on Sega Saturn, played it when I was young and never finished it. 2-3 years ago I decided to beat it. I loved the atmosphere, the musics were really scary and I loved that vengeance spirit of the detective " I can't stand anybody bothering friends or childrens. I pressed the 38 against my chest. They will pay for this".
Tales Of Symphonia
Played it years ago with my brother on GameCube, loved everything on it except when it was over haha. My brother still playing the PS4 version and ask me to play too but nostalgia is a feeling that hurts me more than words or weapons.
That's all I can think of now.

More about me:
I like doing sports: bike (1 H / week minimum, swimming, maintain my body (pumps, sheathing, abs, relaxation).
I like to read or listen to audio books
(Jules Verne, Lovecraft, Horror stories)
My favorite mangas (By the way, I only know those ones) :
- Dragon Ball Z The classic, everybody knows DBZ, when I was young my favorite character was Tien because of his " never give up spirit " against Nappa ( Nappa literally broke one of his arms during the fight, Then Nappa went to fight the other allies of Tien leaving him alone, then out of nowhere, Tien launched an energy attack to Nappa, the effort cost him his life. I liked the fact that he could have watched his friends die (while playing faking his own death) while waiting for Goku's coming and rescue.
Now ( I say now but it's more than 10 years ago from now on ) I love Bardock so much, literally a one army men, he was alone to save his planet as nobody trusted him, but come on, you know the story! And his theme is gold, also he's Badass.
- Hokuto No Ken Loved the musics, story, Kenshiro is Badass as well, characters, drama, everything, I shed a tear every episode, it's crazy.
- Baki A fighting manga, one of the best, Khao Retsu is my favorite character and that's why I hate Musashi Miyamoto.
- Rainbow Love the intro, the story, the bond between the characters, haven't finish it yet .

What do I do here on Smogon ?
I used to come here when I needed to improve my strategy skills and I decided years after to make an account to why not start getting concils and tips on a future team but otherwise, I'm very quiet but maybe I'll find a place that fits me well.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What do I do on Pokemon Showdown ?
(First, I used to play it like years ago).
Mostly, old random generations battle ( GEN 1 to GEN 3 ) and I'm planning to play OU GEN 1-3 later ( I found out really good teams by others and I'd love to test them myself ) and why not step up and play with my own team.
UPDATE AFTER 3 DAYS : The GEN 1 is too broken lol.
I'm pretty sure I had an account already but had to start all over again yesterday.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, that's all for Today! Have a nice day and don't forget that you're awesome even when you think you're not!
PS : Sorry for my English and I may add colors and picture when I'll have the time. Nobody is gonna read that anyway :D.
