Hi!

I've already been posting and didn't notice you can make a topic to say hi! SO HI! I've already done a bit of an introduction in the New Users hangout.

SO! I'm Hilde, I'm 19 and from The Netherlands! I've been been playing Pokémon since I was about 8, but I've liked the Pokémon characters since I was about 5/6! I never really played Red/Blue or Yellow because I didnt have a GameBoy and only got one when Silver/Gold came out, so Silver was my first actual game and with that my most-played game ever. :)

I have been a complete Pokémaniac ever since and since my friends all hate it (seriously, what is wrong with them?!) and don't want me talking about it, so joining a forum might be a good idea. ;)

My favourites are Snorlax, Dragonite and Flareon (actually, most Eeveelutions)!

Welcome to PC, Hilde. That's around the same age I started to like Pokémon too. Silver/Gold was a great age. It's my favorite, actually, out of every generation. Sucks that all your friends hate it, though. How can you hate Pokémon?! =(

Anyway, enjoy your time here. Plenty of fans here to talk to. =)

Hey Hilde! I already said a little bit to you in the Hangout but since you added so much more stuff to talk about here I figured I might as well give you a more formal welcome! :D

So... Welcome to the PokéCommunity, Hilde! :3 It's pretty awesome how long you've been at it! ...though you haven't played R/B/Y! Did you get the chance to play them through FireRed or LeafGreen? :D If you're really such a big Pokémaniac, though, it's definitely good that you joined the forum! Almost everyone here (including myself) is a big Pokémaniac too. |D

Well, if you have any questions or anything don't be afraid to send me a Visitor Message! You should also check out those PC rules if you haven't already; I don't want you accidentally getting infracted or warned for something you didn't know was against the rules... But hopefully you'll enjoy your time here at PC! :D

I did play LeafGreen yes, and I loved it! :)

It feels weird to play the original R/B/Y now because it's just so... Dated I suppose?!

I think I was pretty young when I started playing Pokémon, too. Welcome to PokéCommunity, as always. Don't forget to get used to the forums so that you can enjoy it... to the fullest extent!
