Welcome aboard, eyah! You wouldn't regret joining this wonderful community. It's such a fun place to be involved in. I'm sure you will be able to catch up with the latest discussions about Pokemon. There's a lot of sections to post in and majority of them are usually about Pokemon news and stuff although there are also sections that are not related to Pokemon so in other words, the sections are pretty much diverse. Making friends would take time, but at least you would meet those that you can really talk to and share your problems with and just have fun. People are almost everywhere, so don't worry!
If you have any questions, or if you ever need someone to talk to, just click my name, and leave a message on my profile. Take your time to read the rules, and enjoy yourself here! :D
