Hi Clonehunter, and welcome!
Nice to see you got back into Pokemon, especially given the recent announcement of the upcoming Pokemon X & Y, which is already luring people here. The starters are so cute, especially Froakie (the other two are cute but Froakie seems to have got me) and the Legendary mascots Xerneas and Yveltal look badass awesome! Can't wait for it when it comes out in October, cos I plan on getting them.
To prepare myself, I've been doing a playthrough of Black 2 and I'm already at the Pokemon League. Just have to train my team a bit more for the Elite Four, and I do love the games already. At PokeCommunity, we have loads of sections discussing all aspects of Pokemon, including the ever-so-popular Pokemon games, where there's at least a place for each game to discuss. The members here are very friendly and are always happy to help you. I've been into Pokemon for close to 14 years, and even though I'm in my 20's I still play it cos it's a franchise you just can't let go of.
The name's Hikari (not my real name, but it's what I often get called) and if you ever need anything, just send me a VM. You can also approach Cid and Cirno if you like as well, since they're also very friendly and can show you around.
Have fun here, Clonehunter!
