It was the New Zealand winter of '08. A young, 14 year old member called Libra-Nator on the Pokemon Elite 2000 forum was bored and in need of entertainment. All the regulars of that forum had gone to sleep and there was no one to sustain poor Libra-Nator's needs. But not to be deterred, little Libra-Nator looked around the forums in an effort to find some way to entertain himself. He searched and he searched and he searched, but alas, nothing he found could satisfy the poor little boy. He did have homework to do, but when you're 14 and a regular on a Pokemon forum, who does their homework?
Then he found it.
A link in a signature titled 'PokeCommunity'. Libra-Nator clicked on the link and was welcomed by a sight of a brand new forum brimming with threads to post in and people to meet. Libra-Nator joined immediately under the highly original, wait for it, username of Libra. He had arrived.
And that, children, is the story of how the scourge known as Harlequin came to arrive at the PokeCommnity. He did not arrive on the Mayflower, he did not cross illegal borders to join access to this foreign land. No, he clicked a link in a signature and proceeded to spread his tentacles across the reaches of the forum.
