Hello there and welcome to the forums, Flamingechoes! It's nice to see another Pokemon veteran around. Is G/S/C your first Pokemon game? I also started playing Pokemon ever since I was a child and my first game was Pokemon Yellow, but what had gotten me really into Pokemon were the second installments, G/S/C and that was also the time that I started watching the anime. The first episode was just epic! I love how the characters blends in together. The first Pokemon movie was amazing as well, I still watch it today whenever I have time or I feel like to. I couldn't get over it. It's my favorite Pokemon movie of all time. ^__^
Haha, anyway I think we got a little bit off-topic there! So what brought you here in PC mainly, what was your first impression when you first saw this forum? Is this your first Pokemon board as well? Sorry for the questions, it's just that I'd love to know what new members think of PC the first time they see it and what are the things they find interesting here. :P
There are lots of Pokemon discussions around, each certain aspect of the whole Pokemon franchise has a board here, for example the games - each of the installments has their very own section which means you can discuss pretty much everything about it there (share your game play experiences, trade Pokemon, battle with the members and etc). But as you can see, PC is diverse as well, which means you can also come across topics that are not related to Pokemon itself instead to other things such as personal life, other video games and just everything about the world that doesn't have anything to do with Pokemon. XD;
Since PC is certainly huge, it will really take a while to get used to this place. But me and my mod partner, Meganium90 are there to help you out if you have any questions, and if you can't see us around. You can always approach the other staff members as well, they're really nice and they don't bite!
Have an amazing stay (hopefully you'll become one of the active members), read the rules (in case you still haven't, please give it a read!), and I am definitely looking forward to see you around the board. ♥
