    I'm Urya, a 27 year old freelance journalist and editor from The Netherlands.

    I've been a big Pokémon fan ever since the first generation. It's what got me to buy a Game Boy as a kid - and what made me buy all of the future handhelds after that. I've mostly been a casual player. I bought the games, beat the gyms and defeated the Elite 4. I sometimes tried to complete my dex, but I often lost interest before I finished.

    That is, until earlier this year. I've been trying to complete my Living Pokédex for an article series on a Dutch website - and I feel like I'm making decent progress. I just need seven more pokémon to finish the list, with most of them being event legendaries. Having clocked quite a few hours on that, I feel like delving a lot deeper into the franchise. So digging up my old Pokecommunity account feels like a logical next step. :)

    I mostly played the video games during the years. I did have a Trading Card Game starter deck during the first generation, but that didn't hold my interest for too long. I recently did start watching the tv show in order to kill time while hatching eggs - though I'm using a list to cut through all the filler.

    With my living dex almost filled, I'll need to find something else to do. Maybe I'll try assembling a competitive team, but it feels sort of pointless. Sun and Moon are pretty close, so I'm afraid the next generation might mess up strategies. But maybe I'm wrong!

    I've been hearing a lot of people say the anime's been great lately. I personally lost interest around Johto, because it turned too formulaic for my tastes. The gifs I saw going around seem really cool, though.

    I'll be sure to message you if I have any questions, thanks!

    I find it actually interesting you mention this! I'm pretty excited for what the Sun & Moon competitive metagame would be like. I honestly think we should be prepared for twists and turns every single generation when it comes to battling, for better or worse, right? D:

    Yeah... Have to say I've started breeding by now (it's a lot less hardcore than I feared!) but I'm not sure what will survive into the next generation. Then again: having some perfect IV/EV-trained Pokémon in storage is probably going to be helpful at times.

    Hey Urya. Ik ben hier ook net nieuw. Ik snap wat je bedoelt met S&M. Ik hoop heel erg dat het niet een fiasco word, een slechte gen, zoals gen 5 in mijn mening. Nooit een grote fan van geweest. Wat is jou favoriete gen? :)

    Een fiasco ben ik niet bang voor - het is eerder dat de moeite die ik in een team steek wel eens voor niks kan zijn ivm wijzigingen.

    Zelf dol op gen 1, vooral omdat ik daarmee ben begonnen! En jij?
