Hello, I'm Arcanine^cubed, although you can call me Arca, Cubed, A³, or any variation of those.
I started playing Pokemon back when Red version came out, which I lovingly played on my Mom's Grey Brick until I got the Yellow version pack that came with a GameBoy Color (I still have both the Grey Brick and the Pikachu GBC). Until recently, I never took my game-play beyond standard casual play, when a friend of mine got me hooked on the competitive Pokemon battle simulator, Pokemon Showdown. After that I became more interested in the more in-depth mechanics of Pokemon battling.
I'm currently following the BW2 Translation project (I wish I could help out with it), and am writing an English transcript of the main story dialog. I've talked to a lot of people who have the Japanese game and can't progress due to not knowing what's being said, but don't want to mess around with ROMs and Patches.
