Spirit Of Metal

Who and why?

My name is Kristina, but I commonly go as Wilowispz on the web. I am 19 years old and aspire to go to college to pursue a career as a meteorologist (still wishy-washy on the major though). I  live out in the arid/tropical boondocks, accompanied by my family, boyfriend, cats, dogs, cockatiel, bearded dragon and two tarantulas!
I have many passions - nature, animals, weather, spirituality, art, and life in general. But as things changed throughout the years, one thing remained certain - Pokemon.
I grew up with Pokemon, and since the moment I saw my first Trading Card (when I was about 6), I was fascinated. I can even recall the day when I received my first Pokemon toys. I fell in love with the figures, saw the first movie, got my first Game Boy cartridge...the rest is history.
I love Pokemon for many reasons, one being how vast its culture is. Every Pokemon is unique and has its own strengths, weaknesses and personality.  I owe a lot to Pokemon and it has a very special place in my heart.
I didn't really express my adoration for Pokemon in my middle/high school years ...you know how harsh kids are these days. I kept my nerdiness locked up until I found a magical place on Livejournal called Pkmncollectors- a place where I felt I truly belonged. I have met many amazing people there and through them my love for Pokemon has further deepened.
I actively collect Pokemon things, play the DS games, and create Pokemon art for other people. 

I created this website to share with others my humble collection, even if it may be small, and to simply spread the joy. Here you will see many different Pokemon accompanied by information and my own commentary.
Thanks for stopping by!
