When I first joined, PC was what Deviantart is to me now, a means of being able to make my own Pokemon game and get in contact with those who could assist me in doing so. I lurked the Game Dev section for a good year, marveling on the magnificent games, back in the day, such as Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Malachite, knowing that my dream could finally be realized. When I finally got here, I sort of just commented on games and never bothered to try and convince my parents to buy/pirate RMXP. I eventually started getting involved in the speculation with Black and White and I really began to enjoy the discussion there, although not abandoning Game Dev. I was a pretty bad 'noob' at the time and I started to enjoy PC more once I matured and became Karpman, as I had forged some real friendships, not just acquaintances from the Game Development and Challenge Boards, like PokemonOI and Redsaber were. I've lost a lot of my motivation to post and discuss stuff, but I'm still really enjoying my time here, even though I've only now started to try and make a fangame. I'm really glad that I was able to be accepted into the battling community and constantly have fun battling and chatting with all of the CBC Users, going on irc and hanging out with the irc crowd is p great, too, especially when I'm the only one in my timezone, awake. PC has become an escape for me, a place to access and hang out when real life is giving me a headache, or just talk to many of the great friends I've made here.
