I don't think your avatar's boring at all. But on that note, hello and welcome!
So, you've been playing Pokemon since 3rd Gen? That was actually when I started playing the games as well so something in common here, and hey if you are looking for friends who love Pokemon you came to the right community indeed, and with Get-Together just around the corner I hope you can stick around for the events and take part.
Have a great weekend yourself and do enjoy your time at PC! I'm always here if you want someone nice to chat with, so do stop by my profile if you are interested.
