Hi Chris, welcome, and nice to meet you! Arcanine is a beautiful pokemon, I'd have to agree with you there. <3 When it comes to competitive aspects, I don't normally use Arcanine, but, I am willing to try out new strategies! If you want, you can check out the
Battle Center! it's a nice section on where you can talk about anything competitive battle related, or maybe you can get help on your pokemon teams!
I also can't wait for X&Y myself, and I think that Gen 6 has great potential! PC also has the
Pokemon X&Y section where you can speculate about the Gen 6 games with other people!
But yes, I am glad that you're enjoying your stay here so far. <3 Don't be afraid of talking to new people around here; they're quite nice, and are willing to meet new people such as yourself! Anyway, I do hope that you've understood the rules, and if you need any help, or have any questions, feel free to ask a member of the staff team! I'm also willing to help with answering any questions you might have too. <3 Anywho, hope to see you again, and I'm hoping you'll enjoy your time during your stay!
