I haven't caught a shiny yet :( I've seen two though, I don't remember what they were, but when I saw them each time, I thought my game was glitching (ssh, I was a kid, haha) so I turned it off and blew in the cartridge and stuff. It was in Gold, by the way. Ahh, memories

This board needs more activity! Hoping to get some people talking with this thread :) Basically, just share how you got into playing or collecting Pokemon cards, maybe share some experiences! I'll start with this: I started collecting cards when I was a kid, (I'm 18 now) when they first came...

A few weeks ago I bought a shiny Suicune tin - The HGSS pack had a bottom half Lugia Legend inside! That made my day, haha. I would share what was in the other tins (nothing too great though, really) but they're all mixed in with my other cards now, sorry.

Hey! Thanks for the welcome :) - I'm from eastern Mass, you? And yeah, I checked out the TCG board yesterday... nooot exactly the liveliest place, heh. Oh and uh, the closest leage to me is in Arlington! I would need to get my license to be able to get there though, which I am working on...

Haha, nah, it's not mine - I just think it's a silly picture so I use it for all my avatars/icons. :3

I'd like to claim: Flygon Haunter Houndoom Lugia Metagross Raichu Thanks very much! :)

Ah, thanks very much! :D About the first picture that's just designs and stuff - Yeah, I know what you mean. I tend to just draw stuff like that too, when I just want to chill out, listen to music, and draw whatever.

"D-D-Do-Do-Don't...Don't copy that floppy!" (Heheh, I love that old PSA.)

I played my Aunt's SNES all the time when I was a kid, but the first console I owned was an N64, as something to do while my leg was broken for a few months. If handhelds count, I had a Game Boy Color before my N64.

Thanks for the welcome! I am really looking forward to getting involved in projects and just some great discussions here. I'll definitely stay and have fun! Again, thanks!

Name: opticalmask Art Examples: Here's a few I just posted (agh not enough posts to be allowed to post links yet, just look for the thread by me in the general Art Gallery section) Programs: Photoshop! Er, just as a side note, you might want to update the list in the first post, I was really...

Well, I do like drawing, so I guess I'll post a few (hopefully) not-horrendous doodles here. The only one I plan on continuing work on (out of these four) is the blue monster dude with the big teeth. I am going to shade him up sometime, but I keep being too lazy/distracted to actually do it...

Thanks for the welcome! Also hehe, he's a pretty cool bear if I do say so myself. :)

I'm a new TCG player too (just learned), but I had some old rulebooks that come with a theme deck. There is a small section that gives you some tips on building a deck of your own! They also come with damage counters, a neato Pokemon coin (sometimes needed in the game), and a playmat that will...

Hello! I just made an introduction thread, so I guess I'll link to that - Aaa, have to make 15 posts to be able to post a link! Well, my thread is called 'Hello there!' if you are interested! See you all around! :)
