User:Element Knight 375

My name is Element Knight 375, the creator of pages such as Super Mario Heroes, Nintendo Sports Mix, and The Element Chronicles (from which I got my name).

It was an odd way that I came to be here. I happened upon this wiki long before I joined and found that you didn't have to create an account to edit or even start a page. In the same day I created Super Mario Heroes and The Element Chronicles, and soon Ouroburos and GeniusGuy445 commented on my page, with GeniusGuy saying that the author of the page had talent. I thanked them very much, and GG asked if I would commemorate the event by creating an account. Despite attempts to convince me, I managed to turn them down, as I was worried with some of the security issues such as cookies.

Despite that, I continued to contribute and even started Element Knight 375's Gaming Forum, a wiki page that anyone, anonymous or not, could edit and contribute to by answering gaming questions. I began to gain friendly relations with the executives, but because of that I felt that it might be prudent to join the wiki, now that I thought about it. So, I figured out exactly what I wanted and did some research on joining the wiki, and also the security issues. I had some back-and-forth conversation with GG and found out soon enough that there are no real security issues under the proper conditions.

Since then I have joined Game Ideas Wiki and continue to anticipate the co-operation and conversation between myself and the creative members of this community.

Gaming
I've been gaming ever since I was little, having gotten my start in classics like Oddworld and Super Mario World. Soon I began to progress into third party games like ones based on TV shows and then moved into Nintendo when a dear friend of mine introduced me to The Legend of Zelda and taught me the ins and outs of Super Mario. My collection of games is very diverse, but I am an especially big fan of Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and Nintendo titles.

On RPGs
It seemed resonable to give my opinion on these since they're so prevalent in the gaming world. I've never been much of a fan of RPGs, but that's mainly with open-ended ones. More often than not, I get completely lost and confused without some sort of guidance.

However, I do enjoy Paper Mario from what I've played of it, and if Zelda can be considered one, well then I guess I'm a fan of those to a degree.

Consoles and my experience with them
I'm one of the most staunch ever believers in consoles. Although computer games are all the rage, you just can't beat slapping a disc into a beautiful console, picking up a controller, and playing your heart out. My experience with consoles is rather unique because of its diversity. I'll start with my younger years.

When I was little and first started gaming, I had the first PlayStation, a Super Nintendo, and a Nintendo 64. My family and I were avid fans of Oddworld games for the PlayStation and my mom and I played it constantly (in fact, my dad once commented on how funny it was that while other kids my age were playing soft little games, I was playing one where people constantly got shot and/or torn up by meat saws. Memories). My dad and I were into the 64 to the extent that we would often play 007: Goldeneye on it, where he would control and I would work the trigger.

Later on, a few years later, I suppose, my half-sister took the PlayStation (I believe it was hers), but it was around that time that I got the PlayStation 2. This was a big break for me because the backwars compatibility allowed us to play our favorite PlayStation games. This was also the period when I got Star Wars Bounty Hunter, which may be my dad's favorite game of all time. I accumulated all sorts of superhero and third-party games, and got in a bit more Mario experience after getting the Game Boy Advance.

Another revolution came when my half-sister showed me the third Oddworld title on her Xbox, and I began to want it very much. I soon got my wish and had some of the most cutting-edge consoles of the day. I obviously got Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee for the Xbox, but by far the best experience I had with it was the Star Wars experience. I ended up with four main games of the franchise, but the best was Star Wars Battlefront. My dad actually hated it at first, but he became so in love with it that to this day, it's the only game he'll ever actually turn on and play.

A matter of years later, I inexplicably lost the Game Boy Advance, but then my next and best big phase was coming: the Wii. I'd first played one when my grandmother saw one in a shop window one day and just bought it for the extended family to enjoy. My dad and I helped to hook it up and I spent hours enjoying the bowling on Wii Sports. It was immediate love. My following birthday, I got my Wii, and it was the beginning of a beautiful relationship. My forays into the wondrous world of Nintendo began and now I'm proficient at Mario and Zelda games alike.

To recap, I now have a Nintendo 64, an SNES (both of which are still in fantastic condition), a PS2, an Xbox, and a Wii. If I could get another one that's actually on the market, it would be a 3DS, but my Wii collection is constantly expanding.

Top 10 Favorite Video Games
This is hard. I've been gaming all my life and now I have to choose my top 10 list? Gee. Well, if I had to guess, here they are: There you have it. My top 10 favorites. In case you're wondering how I decided, I went with what I call "Exigency Potential." What this means is, I determine favorites based on which games I would immediately play, under any circumstances, and enjoy it. For example, even if I were always playing a Star Wars title, I wouldn't hesitate to play SSBB if I had to. Here's a list of some other favorites that aren't in the top 10, but are close to my heart. That's the verdict. Some of you may now know me better than many other people since you've seen my top 20 favorite games. If you share some of my favorites, join me in a conversation whenever! I'd love to bounce back opinions.

Favorite Pokemon
Togepi Some people will probably find it lame that I like Togepi, but those same people will probably find it difficult to dislike Togepi for his cute looks. Also, he is not without powers of his own. He has an interesting Charm ability that allows him to affect his environment and the poeple in it to a certain extent. This is the power he would use in Super Smash Bros. Brawl when he emerged from a Poke Ball.

Latios

Latios is a dragon psychic Pokemon who is able to move at the speed of a jet, refract light to alter forms, and is the only known Pokemon to be capable of Luster Purge, an ability that is lost even to his sister Latias. Luster Purge is a powerful move that shoots a pink beam of light at Latios's opponents, causing extreme damage. He will also make himself quite free of heart to a compassionate soul.

One of the big reasons I like Latios is his unparalleled speed and protective nature, as well as his wisdom and reluctance to fight unless necessary.

Articuno

Articuno is a legendary flying ice Pokemon capable of chilling the air around it and thusly creating snow. it is a passive Pokemon, one that dislikes battling due to isolation in the mountains, which makes it different from some of its relatives. This passiveness in one of my favorite qualities about Articuno, as well as its solemn demeanor.



{C Raichu

Raichu is the evolved form of Pikachu, and it is far more aggressive than Pikachu as shown by its need to periodically release its stored electricity either into objects or into the Earth, as shown by faded patches around its nest (boy can we all identify with this one or what?). Despite its aggressive capabilites, Raichu has also been known to have timid tendencies. Nevertheless, Raichu is a fun and powerful Pokemon who deserves a place in my favorites.

Upcoming projects
Since I'm not always quite active on the wiki, I thought it might be a good idea to make a list of some of the things I'm going to do in the future, whether soon, or not for a while because I'm still thinking about how to do it. This list will constantly be updated, as you can well imagine, because sooner or later I'll probably get done some of the projects (or start them), meaning I'll be able to take it off the list.

I have a couple of blog ideas going, so I'll just list both pages and blog ideas.

Pokemon Journeys
This is a new Pokemon RPG idea in which the player will create their own Pokemon Trainer and start out with a completely custom Pokemon, being able to collect more and more as you move throughout the regions, one of which you'll choose to start out in. Along the way, you'll be able to join gyms, battle, and even join some wandering Pokemon teams who you can trade Pokemon with and get useful information from.

I'm still putting together bits and pieces with this, but ones I finish off my next blog and my newest SSBT article, I'll probably make this one.

NOTE: This page is almost finished, so it's no longer an upcoming one.

Super Smash Flash Genesis
I'm beginning to be a big fan of the Super Smash Flash series, a production of mainly McLeod Games. As such, I think it might be a fun project and challenge for me to synthesize an article that's expansive enough to be a good sequel, but limited enough to be a convenient flash game.

Kirby's Pokemon Adventure
This one came into my mind a while ago, as I wanted to do a new crossover title, and I also wanted to do a Kirby article, so I thought Pokemon would be a good opening for those conditions.

I'm kind of still working out the complexities for this idea, but the basic plot will be that Kirby, because of a prank by King Dedede, ends up being carried to the world of Pokemon by a haywire teleportation star. There, Kirby is mistaken for a Pokemon, and he has to find some way to get back to Dreamland.

NOTE: This page is just about done, so it's no longer upcoming.

Blog: Why Video Games Can Be Good.
This will probably be the next thing I do, as I managed to put it together awhile ago, but I unknowingly logged out when I tried to publish it, and so ended up losing it. However, I think I remember how to put it together, and I just have to roll back around to it.

The blog will be about something that this wiki desperately needs: a source of credit for video games. Most people, especially adults who work quite a lot, do not appreciate the value of video games as a potential health benefit, as long as they're under the right conditions. In this blog, I will cover all of the health benefits of video games, reveal the most potent health risks, and tell you what you can do to lessen them. Hopefully, this will show people why video games are so likeable and provide a renewed value to the cause around here.

Super Smash Bros. Pokemon
This is an interesting idea I got as a lover of the Pokemon universe. I'm a huge fan of the Poke Balls in Brawl, and I thought it would be great to have a context where there would be more Pokemon, and where they could have more active roles in the game as opposed to being items.

That's how I though of SSBP: a Smash Bros. title with a roster consisting entirely of famous Pokemon! In this case, Assist Trophies would contain some of the major characters from the previous series, and I'm still trying to think of a way to add more characters through devices similar to Poke Balls in nature.

Oddworld: Abe's Mythoddogy
Oddworld was one of the very first games I've ever played, and it's up there with my personal old favorites to this day. It was probably one of the greatest puzzle games I've ever played, because it's nothing like the Tetris-y, Dr. Mario preconception you might get about a puzzle game. It requires real strategy to pull off, and it is long. You could easily spend weeks trying to finish it and get a good ending.

This is why I thought it would be cool to write up an idea that harkens back to the original side-scrolling strategic titles. It would, in format, be a lot like the other titles, but it would have remastered graphics and characters, plus I may add in a couple of new abilities to appeal to a newer generation. I still haven't worked out a story, but I have come up with a clever title (it didn't take me too long either). This is probably the one I'll do the soonest.

NOTE: I'd say this page is finished, so it's no longer pending.

The Lord of the Rings: A New Hero
As I was trying to think of new ideas, I went with a newer method of mine that involved thinking about the pages that were already on here, and then pondering what I felt it lacked. Being a huge Lord of the Rings fan, I thought that a worthy ccontribution I could make was the addition of a game idea for the universe.

Now I noticed that there were no real RPGs for the LOTR universe, so I thought it would be a cool idea to, as it were, combine the universes of The Lord of the Rings and The Elder Scrolls to result in an RPG (without round-based combat!) where you can create your own character and play the role of a wandering citizen during the War of the Ring, having to participate in the changing world and (if you follow the Main Quest) fighting at the Black Gate to buy Frodo time in the final movie.

Star Fox: Revolution
I've recently found out that Nintendo hasn't yet made a Star Fox title for the Wii. However, Shigeru Miyamoto has said that he would like there to be a Wii title for the series. This is why I thought it would be cool to make up a title with new ships, new gameplay modes, and new villains. It will also have enhanced graphics, better character design, and a more real feeling of being in the action. I'll definitely be doing this one quite soon.

Star Wars Battlefront III
I've been thinking about this idea for years, because both my dad and I love the Battlefront series and have talked about what a third title would be like. The way I see it, it should have graphics about as good as the first game, better character designs, a new unit for each faction, and more hero options.

This may be a dumb concept for the game now that I think about it, but I thought that some kind of dueling function might be good for the game. However, the Jedi free-for-all is just as fun, so I think I might add that in. On the other hand, I would probably add the option to have only one of each unit on a side be in the battle at a time, so that way it's more realistic (you wouldn't have two Luke Skywalkers running around).

I most likely won't be doing this very soon, because it's in the back of my head to a great degree and I haven't prioritized what I want in it. However, I am going to try to make it as good as possible.

Nintendo Party
This is clearly based on the hit game saga Mario Party. After playing Mario Party 9 for the first time, I realized how much the idea had to offer, not just in terms of minigames but also in terms of quirks of the board and interesting twists and turns along the way. I think that bringing all of Nintendo into the mix would make it much more interesting, dynamic, and just plain fun!

A list of ideas I've done
It's actually been requested, since I'm a rather major contributor to the wiki, that I list some of the ideas I've posted on the wiki. Mostly my work consists of sequels, spinoffs, or crossovers of existing series, but some of them (like The Element Chronicles or Glowthos the Great) are original ideas I came up with. You should also know that this is an ever-growing list, and that some of the ones I list are in the past and no longer worked on, some of them just being ones I wish I never added.

23. Star Wars Battlefront III

24. Sonic R-echarged

Favorite Superhero
Nightwing. For one thing, I've always liked the first Dick Grayson Robin. Not only does he have an awesome sense of humor (even taunting the bad guys and messing with them, I might add), but he also has many superiorities to Batman. He's a better leader in the end, he takes the tragedy of his life in stride, and he can pull a terrible situation back into order. Plus, I've always liked his outward features; his electric dual batons are bizarrely cool, and his blue-and-black suit is just epic. I've just always found Nightwing to be an outstanding, nicely self-made superhero, and he's the one I admire the most.

Favorite Color
Blue. I know why and yet at the same time, it's very unexplained. For my entire life, I just haven't been able to have any other favorite besides blue. Still, after learning more about how colors make the person, blue being my favorite color makes perfect sense considering the things I aspire to being. Blue is the color of intelligence, even-mindedness, patience, and wisdom; the four traits I try every day to cultivate in myself. My goal has always been to be the one who people can come to to have a question answered, or to get a good piece of advice about something. Plus, blue is the color of the sky, which is my favorite part of the world.

Favorite Beverage
Club soda. The interesting thing is, I used to hate club soda, because I thought it was boring and weird. But now that I'm older, I realize all the best qualities of club soda. It has the same feeling as you get from soda, but is not bad for your teeth because of no acid or sugar; it has the taste of water, but the sensation of soda. Plus, in a pinch, it's extremely refreshing. It just always fills me back up when I'm thirsty. However, it has to be the right club soda; I never like it from large bottles, because it gets flat instantly, leaving you with just strange-tasting water. Take a piece of advice from me: if you're going to have club soda, get six-packs in small bottles. Perfect pick-me-up or relaxation beverage.

Favorite Animal
Raccoon. Now lots of you are probably really confused by reading this because you probably think that raccoons are destructive, diseased vermin. Well, that's only a small part of the story. Raccoons are very ambitious, intelligent, and dextrous, which is why they're always trying to find hard-to-get places; it's basically something for them to do if they're bored. Their only real weakness is being incredibly vulnerable to disease; they're easily infected by viruses like the rabies, which is why they're typically sick. I suppose the reason why they've never been helped with it is because it's never escalated to the level where they've become endangered. In the end, I just feel a spiritual connection to the raccoon, and I think they're remarkable creatures.

Favorite Sonic the Hedgehog Game (so far).
This would be Sonic Colors. I haven't done an official review of this game yet, but It's by far the best game in the series I've played. I consider it great not only because it plays fantastically, but because it's a genuine revival of the entire Sonic franchise, especially after widely criticized titles like Sonic '06 and Sonic Unleashed. I also honestly like Roger Craig Smith voicing Sonic. Some people have called his voice acting too surfer-like or idiotic, but to me, it sounds incredibly honest and easy to identify with. On top of that, the game is just incredibly innovative and welcoming to play for anyone. Although, Sonic Generations is easily my second favorite game in the series, since it has features like unlockable music, unlockable artwork, and two Sonics to play as. However, it's still not as solid to control as Colors is.

Favorite Legend of Zelda Game (so far).
My favorite game in this series is absolutely The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. This was the first Zelda game I ever played, and it was the first instance in which I even heard of the series. When I first started playing it, I was instantly captivated by the gorgeous graphics and fun and relatable characters. Plus, it was the best motion-control experience of my young life, maybe my entire life. I found it to be incredibly immersive, such that it really felt like I was using a sword and shield to fight monsters. Plus, I really enjoyed using the extra combat techniques I learned along the way, and every dungeon I went through was new, exciting, and well-designed. Not to mention the fact that the game was very open world, with lots of secrets and interesting sidequests. And heck, even things like the story and music were incredible.
