Welcome to PC, Nyanamo~ that's a pretty cute name, to be honest. :3 Nice to meet you!
We all love Pokemon here, so you have something in common with a lot of people off the bat! Salamence is pretty awesome and definitely one of the coolest dragon types, omg. <3 I trained him in Sapphire/Emerald and he was just such a beast haha. Made battles so much easier, especially with Intimidate. Plus there's Dragon Claw which is the best dragon move out there in my opinion. Are dragons your favorite types, out of curiosity? We should have an active fanclub for them over at Pokemon Clubs, so perhaps that'd interest you. Pay the section a visit if you'd like to join; they'll be happy to have you. :D
Friends? No problem! If you be active you'll meet a lot of new people, as expected of a forum of this size. PC has a pretty wide variety of people so there will always be a group who share your interests outside of Pokemon, plus we're all pretty friendly here. It took me a month or two to make friends since I was shy and barely posted around... don't be like me! xD; Never be scared to explore around and post wherever. It's a lot more fun than lurking in the corner for sure, hehe. Give the rules a read to get an understanding of how things work here, too, and you'll be a-okay! Feel free to message me anytime if you want to chat as well since I'm always open to getting to know one of our awesome new peeps.
Enjoy your stay and hope to see you around! <3
