Yeeeah, Google likes to put us at the top when you search "Pokémon Forum."
I'd like to think it's because we're just that awesome, but it's probably more to do with the fact that we have "Poké" in the title of our community... and the word "Pokémon" is all over any kind of description. XD But hey, it works, right?!
I'm sure you'll make all kinds of friends if you get yourself out there and just have some fun, Juliet! A place you may really wanna look into to find some fast friends would be the off-topic boards such as Other Voting Polls and Other Trivia. Just something I've learned in my time here. :] Plus, I know the people there are pretty awesome.
Welcome to PC, by the way. Feel free to message me if you have any questions or just wanna chat~
