Hey there, my name is Ashikawa and I have been on pokeheroes for almost as long as this site exists. I have never changed my username and probably never will, so if you don't remember me from back then, we probably didn't interact - but we can change that if you care to :D

Despite having been inactive for quite some time I checked back on this site from time to time, especially for the easter egg hunts, which were replaced by another event much to my dismay, but nevertheless: I really enjoy spending time on PH albeit as a rather casual player.

A fun fact about me is that I nearly won the Chat Quiz during Asian Week 2014, but failed on the last question due to a lack of pokemon knowledge - all the other questions were about Asian culture. I still think about this way too often.

Long-term goal
Fill up Dex

Short term plans
- Paldea research
- shiny hunt Dunsparce or Tandemaus to level up later and hopefully receive the rare evo
- level them up during an event hunt when I don't get enough eggs to fill up my party anyway
- Event hunts I'm interested in: Fishleon, Cottonblu, Autumn Mareep, Gloweon, Sandcrustle, Silgilyph, Violedge, Pumpkabowl, Dubwolf

If you want something from my trade box, feel free to ask for it. If the pokemon you want is not in my trade box but I have more than one of them, you may still ask. As an offer, I'd appreciate either: a) a pokemon I don't have (including event pokemon); b) PD; c) items I am looking for:
- Normal Gems (currently owning 7,612)
- Ghost Gems (currently owning 180)
- Ice Gems (currently owning 243)
- For Dex: Focus Sash, Azure Flutes, Leftovers, Reveal Glass, Gimmicoins, Cornerstone Mask
