SERVER NO LONGER DOWN so our archive of articles from 2012 to 2015 is back up. We've also finally been able to fix the bug causing articles to cut off into a black background and becoming unreadable.

Even though I’ve been playing VGC since 2011, this is the first time one of my Pokemon has been available for download. It means a lot to me to be at least partially immortalized in the game that has changed my life. My other time being added to a game was in Black and White 2!
