Hello Nick, and welcome!
We happen to have a big battling community here, so you should definitely head down to our Battle Center section, where you can request battles, check out the Pokemon Showdown server as well as get your teams rated. You can even chat on the server, which is fun but be warned, the conversations can get crazy. I'm +OshyHikari on the server if you're looking for me btw.
So, do you have any favorite Pokemon or Pokemon games? I love mainly Water-type Pokemon, especially Oshawott and my fave games are Black & White, as well as Black 2 & White 2. Also, did you hear about X & Y, the new games for the 3DS? They look pretty awesome I say with those graphics, thankfully I got my 3DS last Christmas so I'm all ready for the release come October.
Have a fun time and VM me anytime!
