Back when I was a young whippersnapper...

Hi! My name is... Well, it's gonna be different now, actually. Most of you already know my name is Trevor, and how my username is Trevo. Well, I decided to change the name from Trevo to something similar, but more... fitting for my trainer title (Which I might change soon too, once I start getting enough rupees again. I thought I would only need sprites, but if I wanna go through a change, I'm gonna have to start working it again. XD)

Anyways, Trevo is retired. My name is... Trevore.

Back when I was a boy... No, scratch that. It was just pretty much all my life, really (Or so it feels like it!). It seemed that most of the time, people always got my name wrong, no matter what. I have an identical twin, too, which is understandable. However, people started getting my name wrong BESIDES calling me Travis, such as calling me names like Charlie, Kevin, and even Tyler (Which is the name I would have actually been born with if it had not been Trevor). Sometimes, my name was pronounced differently too. For example, one pronounced my name and it sounded like Traitor (Or so how I heard it, that is.).

However, one of the most unique variations of my name I had ever heard was Trevore... It started in math class last year, actually... by the teacher! She always said Travis's name correctly, but always liked pronouncing my name as Trevore. Yes, she knew my name was Trevor and could pronounce it as such, but like I said, for some reason, she always liked pronouncing it as Trevore. Eventually, this actually caught on with some of the students in that class, as even some of the popular kids started calling me Trevore. By the end of the year, I had actually grown used to the name, and that same teacher was proud when she saw that I had placed the name Trevore on my binder of achievements for my open house (Which I invited her to).

During the beginnings of Pokemon Arcane (now called Pokemon Revolution), there were applications for Gym Leaders. However, after learning that all of the roles for Gym Leader were full, I decided to do something different; try to be an Admin of the villainous group Team Ultima. I got in, yes, and guess what the name of my character was? Trevore Lombardi (The surname is because Falco is one of my favorite characters in Smash Bros.), a don who has a talking Honchkrow named Falcone as his ace. Yes, seems like a little bit of self-inserting, I guess, but was a pretty good concept at the time (And still is, in my eyes!).

Does it end from there? Nope! I ended up starting to use that name as my tag for Smash Bros (Besides Melee. That will always be TREV and TJ), as well as my Elder Scrolls name (I had to use Trevore Lombardi for Elder Scrolls Online, because somebody already took Trevore!). In the end, I decided to undergo a complete change from Trevo to Trevore. (This might be in effect for my youtube channel, PhantomTrevo, when I reboot the channel). Only half of the change has been complete on Reborn so far, but once I get enough to change my forum name, it will be complete!

Trevo is long retired, and I have been... Reborn.

I know it's a little late, but... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Okay, now that that's out of the way, it's time for another story to tell! I would have done this around Christmas, but I got caught up in the festivities (Merry Christmas, too!) So yeah... Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

Back when I was a boy, Christmas was a time when everything was magical. From the white snow outside, to not even knowing what present you were gonna get. I do know that Christmas is a special time of year, too, because it's also the day Christ was born, but I'm not gonna get into that too much (It even has Christ in Christmas!) I've had some good Christmases, but mostly I loved the season. Winter's always been one of my favorite seasons. The snow on the ground and the chill in the air just makes me happy. Heck, sometimes there were even snow days because of it. However, as you get older, you find that everything's not all cracked up to be.

As I think of Christmas now, it's pretty stressful at times. People are stressed, shoppers everywhere, things aren't perfect, etc. I'm just gonna say right now if anybody ever feels that way around Christmas, just know this: It's going to be okay. I mean, it's the thought that counts, and even though everything might not be perfect, it's not the end of the world.

Same goes for New Years. Whether it's stressing out over New Year's Kiss (I don't get why that's a custom, but I'm not gonna judge) or just stressing about what's going to happen in the year (Definitely don't want Trump getting elected!). In one way or another, everything's going to be okay.

These days, Winter is okay, but with less snow, more predictable for presents (seeing as I often get most of them early), etc. Is this a good thing? Maybe, maybe not. I mean, I like surprises, and less snow is okay, but come on, if I want snow, I really don't want to suffer through a massive snow storm. But if there's anything important, it's that Christmas and New Years are best spent with the ones you love, such as friends and family.

With that said, I wish you all a Merry Christmas (Or Happy Hannukah, or Happy Holidays, etc), and a Happy New Year!

Hello again, whippersnappers! Today's an exciting day, because why? Because of the exciting announcement of Pokemon Sun and Moon, as well as the beginning of a new generation! PRAISE THE MOON!!!

*ahem*

Sorry, I had to get that out of my system. Anyways, pull up a seat, and listen to some tunes, because with Sun and Moon beginning a new generation, I'll be reminded of an old rpg site I was on a long time ago with my brother.

Back when I was a boy, I used to go on this one website called Pokemon Moon. Of course, with an official game called the same name being announced, this would be confusing now. These days, the site's called Pokemon Eclipse. But anyways, I joined the site, and played the game with Houndour as my starter. Now this game was a VERY different game than others. Much like the old Pokemon Crater, it had different variations of Pokemon. From Dark Pokemon to Gold Pokemon (I think), etc. However, there were also many different kinds of Pokemon, like Shadow Celebi, LatiMew, Gallangel, etc. Hell, I don't even know what half of them are now, since I haven't been on in years. There was all kinds of neat things, such as a story mode (Which I have no idea where it is now), legendary areas (To catch legendary Pokemon, of course), etc.

Now, back then, me and Travis were a couple of crazy goofballs. Hell, he was more crazy than I was. He always broke so many rules in the chat room, while I always was the one who tried getting him back. It's hilarious now that I think about it, because when I said that he was my brother, nobody believed me. Unfortunately, whenever he was usually banned, I ended up getting banned too because of us having the same ip adress back then.

Note, this was WAY before I stumbled onto Reborn. These days, Travis hardly ever goes onto Pokemon forums, while Reborn is pretty much the only place I go to. Both Travis and I are MUCH more different than we were back then, but even now, we're still a couple of goofballs sometimes. I think I went onto Eclipse back when I was in 5th or 6th grade. And everything changes over time, right? I think it was the end of freshman year I started going on Reborn's server, but it didn't take until May 2012 to actually sign up. Well, I'm here, and I'm here to stay.
