Humble Beginnings

Hey there everyone, this is Jun "Cypher" Tumaneng! I'm here to present to you my new blog, "Cypher's Deciphers." A great name, right?

Now, some of you might be asking why I created a new blog instead of using the imouto island blog. Well, I felt the structure between imouto island and my goals were different. For this blog, I would like for it to purely be a blog for serious interviews about the role Pokemon plays in their life. This differs from imouto island's goals of being unfilitered thoughts about the metagame and team reports.

Why am I doing these interviews? I want to show off the other side of Pokemon players - that they are human beings as well, not just another person on the opposite side of the screen. I would like to see their responses to why they play Pokemon, how Pokemon affected their life,  what they learned from being involved in the Pokemon community, and much more! It also provides more content that allows others can learn from and see why players act like they do and such. It also means that I can become a content creator as well!

Now, about me? Here's some short info. I'm currently a sophmore in college. I'm a cell biology major on a pre-medicine track whose goal is to make it to medical school. To be honest, I don't really have any interest in journalism, but I thought this would be a cool idea overall. I joined the VGC community during the spring of 2011, and I have been playing ever since. Though, I don't really play that much anymore due to stress and having to study for exams and such.

I hope for you all to enjoy all the interviews!
