I'm penguinspy42, but in the Pokémon games my trainer name is Jen. I've been playing Pokémon since shortly after Red and Blue came out when I was in college. I enjoy breeding Pokémon and trading them, especially the starters. I bred a shiny Charmander for my husband, who has always wanted one. I lovingly refer to the remaining normal Charmanders as "Charbucks" since I've been trading them away for any Pokémon I need in my Pokedex.
My favorite Pokémon include Bulbasaur (my first starter in Pokémon Blue), Pikachu, and Lugia.
