User blog:AidenArtorius/Greetings & Salutations!

Been doing this Pokemon thing for quite a number of years now. Never been as hyper-competitive about it as people like the folks at, say, Smogon, but I love their documentation and analysis style. I just love Pokemon games and I love to learn all I can about the mechanics and how to best use them to do well and have fun when I play the games!

PTD has been an awesome adventure in this since the mechanics are so different -- with the tower defense format, some moves have to end up working differently, and your priorities about what is good and what works best in a given situation are very different from the official Pokemon games. It makes for a great new puzzle that I've had a lot of fun figuring out and I've leaned heavily on this here wiki to help me do it, but we're a small community and I've come to the conclusion that I can do more to help the wiki now than the wiki can do to help me! So I hope I can work well with established people here and not step too much on anyone's toes.

That said, I want my first major project to be working on updating the Moveset Guide, which is a good amount of documentation combined with a whole lot of opinion. I intend to edit the page publicly; I will change some things I disagree with. Coming up with good analysis on what moves are strong and useful in PTD will be really helpful to the community, and I can't do it alone, but I will ask that if there's something you disagree with in an edit on the Moveset Guide that I've made, post on the Talk (comments) about it when you make a change to it! That way the community can have a good dialogue.

Anyway I look forward to being a contributor here!
