[Youngster Timmy]

I'm youngster timmy! I'm 12 years old. I'm a huge pokemon fan! I usually take to internet to make new friends, since I'm made fun of for my weight in school. I'm starting to get in to game dev, would love some tips!

Hey there Timmy, and welcome to PC! My name is Zach, and it's a pleasure in getting to know you! {:3}

Sorry to hear about you getting bullied in school ): don't worry though, hopefully by the time you reach high school everyone will be mature enough to not care about your weight! I too was made fun of in elementary school for my weight but not in high school :] And if you're into game development, what a convenience, because we happen to have a Game Development (http://www.pokecommunity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=54) section here on PC! If you need help in getting started, feel free to shoot a question over to Maruno, and he'd be able to help you get started! :)

As a reminder, please be sure to look over the rules here at PC, so that you do not wind up getting into trouble at all.. the last thing we want to see here of new members is them getting an infraction on their profile simply by not abiding to the board rules :(

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate in asking anyone around here on staff! They are the users here with the bold usernames and are very helpful! If you need help, just ask one of them and they would be more than glad to help you out! :D

Hope you enjoy your stay here at PC, Timmy! Feel free to send me a friend request if you want to! And you are also always more than welcome to either send me a PM and or leave a VM on my profile if you ever want to chat with me! ^_^

Oh wow, I think it's hilarious that you chose that NPC as your character, he's pretty awesome! ^_^. At least you aren't Youngster Joey, because then we would never hear the end of your top percentage Rattata! Although personally I prefer jeans, they look smarter than shorts when you want to make an impression, shorts are too casual...

Right, hi Timmy, welcome to PC! This is one of the best Pokemon communities on the web imo, you sure will make friends here, everyone is so nice! Sorry to hear you've been bullied at school, kids are cruel I've been picked on with things not relating to weight and it sure isn't fun. But you know what, don't hide away and give in to bullies. You're only 12, it's never too late to change your health if you want to. I remember watching this Police documentary for a SWAT team in Miami, one of the officers was a really overweight nerdy type during high school who got teased and such, told he would never make anything of himself, but the guy tried his best to become healthy and is now a really well built, physically elite specimen who is probably in better shape and more successful than any of his childhood bullies. It was really motivational for me, so don't give up! ^_^ I'll try link the story to you, I loved it. The internet is awesome but it's good to have a more stable support network around you physically.

So, what do you love about Pokemon, the games, anime, manga etc? What's your favourite Pokemon. Regardless, we have topics for all sorts of discussion around here, I'd suggest the Game Development (http://www.pokecommunity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=54) Forum, you can ask for all sorts of tips there! Also, don't forget to read the Community Rules (http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=6446812), we don't want you to get in trouble! If you need help with anything ask a moderator, their names are in Blue. Enjoy your stay at PokeCommunity Timmy! :)

Hey Timmy! Welcome to the Community! I hope you have an awesome time here and make a breakthrough with game development! :P

Hi Timmy! Welcome. :D

Aww I'm sorry you're bullied at school for you're weight that's terrible. I'm a bit overweight myself and my older brother uses that to his advantage. He's always making insults about my "weight" problems and always bullying me about eating alot. So I do know where you're getting at.I was also bullied in 8th grade for having tons of pimples and for the fact I was in special education so I was "retarded". It hurt me so much. I understand you. But ignore what they say. Kids your age can be really cruel sometimes. Their words shouldn't hurt you and don't let the bullies get to you. You should be who you are. Though I also agree with 007_eleven, you can always try hard to lose the weight too and then be very fit and strong. Push yourself and you can do it! And you can always come here when you need a place to blow off stream and settle down. People here are very nice and won't hate you for your weight or anything else. Alot of understand you cause we've have either been through the same thing or have dealt with it. People here really support each other too. Never give up okay?

But anyway, you're here for game development right? Good luck with that! The Game Development section will be perfect for you. We get a good amount of regulars there and they'll be willing to help you with all of the stuff. Is there anything else you're interested in? Anything in particular about Pokemon that you like? We have sections here for all of thing Pokemon has as a franchise. You should explore the boards are to see what it's got.Do you like the games only or do you like anything else such as the anime or manga? Or perhaps the card game too? Pleas tell us more!I'm just wondering. :)

Anyway, I hope you can actually enjoy yourself and make friends. Always good to have a friend who has your back and support you so I hope you can meet people here like that. You can add me and we can talk anytime! Also if you ever need help, just reach a moderator and they will definitely assist you. :)

I mostly just play the games, and go in and out of the tcg. Not to into the anime or manga. Anyways, thanks for all the kind words and motivation! I think I'm going to like it here! :)

Hey there Timmy! Names Espeon EX, glad to meet you! Sorry about the bullying, never been bullied myself, so I don't exactly know how you feel. I hope you meet many friends here, I know I did when I joined! If you need help the mods are there, just ask them! Just wondering, how did you find our wonderful community? Darn, used the wrong color for "the mods". Oh well.
