My username has a very, very long history. Firstly, I would like to draw your attention to the story I have given above, about how Dragonite became my favorite Pokémon. The experience I recounted in that story was also what made Lance my favorite character ever in the Pokémon series. Other factors that further solidify the Indigo Plateau Pokémon League Champion's position as my favorite Pokémon character include his use of Hyper Beam on literally every single one of his Pokémon in all games prior to Generation IV (with the exception of Pokémon Stadium), his incredibly awesome battle theme in both Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal as well as Pokémon Stadium 2, the fact that my favorite Pokémon is his signature Pokémon, and the fact that the stage on which he is battled in Pokémon Stadium 2 simply looks incredibly awesome, grand and awe-inspiring to my eyes, with the gigantic dragon statue in the background on his side of the stage. Furthermore, in Pokémon Stadium 2, the dragon master also gave me an experience very similar to the one he gave me in Pokémon Red - I had swept through the Gym Leader Castle mostly with Mewtwo, defeating even Karen with it... but for a long time, I could not defeat Lance at all, simply because his Tyranitar always overwhelmed my Mewtwo, while the rest of my team struggled with his remaining Pokémon.
Because Lance is my favorite Pokémon character, I once decided to roleplay as him sometime in early-mid 2009, during the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl days, on an online Pokémon battling simulator known as Pokémon NetBattle Supremacy. I created my own server, known as the POKéMON LEAGUE, and modified the server's database in order to give some Pokémon some moves and Abilities they cannot normally possess. These were the Ability Huge Power as well as the moves Extreme Speed and Flare Blitz for Dragonite (Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver were not out yet at the time, so Extreme Speed was illegal on Dragonite in Generation IV back then
