Errr, hello everyone. I'm Viridian Beedrill (or whatever shortened form of that you want to use). I'm a long-time forum observer and even-longer-time Bulbapedia browser. With the Scarlet/Violet DLC hype season in full swing, I thought it was a good time to be brave and finally, properly join! (Also, this is my first experience with any kind of forum, so apologies in advance for the inevitable formatting mishaps.)
My first Pokémon game was HeartGold (with Totodile as my starter), and I've been with the franchise ever since. I'm mainly a fan of the mainline games, but I also keep an eye on spinoffs and loosely follow the anime. I love discussions about Pokémon world lore and theories, learning about the design inspirations of Pokémon...basically anything involving worldcrafting. Pokémon is such a fun universe to explore. Hopefully I can participate in some discussions about those things! I also draw and have been trying to get more disciplined about writing, so I'll probably show up in those forum sections sooner or later.
As far as other interests...well, I enjoy most other Nintendo franchises (Mario, Zelda, Kirby...) as well as Mega Man (which is ironic, since I'm not that good at platformers, heheh). I also have a (weird?) fascination with American superhero and detective stories from the 40's to 60's, both print and radio dramas. My favorite radio show from that era is the Green Hornet, so Beedrill's shiny feels like my own private happy coincidence (hence my avatar and username).
Well, that's enough about me (hopefully my intro wasn't too long?) I look forward to talking about Pokémon with everyone!
