Hello there and welcome to the forums, Vindictor! I've also been a fan of Pokemon ever since it's release and the first game that I had was Pokemon Yellow, but what had gotten me really into the whole Pokemon obsession was Pokemon G/S/C, it was for me the golden era of Pokemon, brings back a lot of awesome memories whenever I recall them to be honest! Anyway, if you'd like to discuss old good stuff you can go to the Metal/Color GBC board! ^__^
But as you can see each gen has their own board, Black & White - B/W, HG/SS & DP/P/PL - Fourth Generation Games, FR/LG - Advanced Generation Games and even the spin offs has it's own board. And if you also watch the anime, you can head over the Pokemon Anime board. There are so many boards related to Pokemon here so make sure to check them out as well aside from the boards that I mentioned but there are also the off-topic ones usually those located at the bottom of the forum. I'm sure you'll find them a lot of fun as well! :D
Feel free to contact me or Megan if you have any questions regarding about the board or any of the staff members that you can see (members who have bold and colored usernames like mine and has a staff badge below their usernames). Make sure to read the rules as well, you don't want to get yourself into any trouble! Come and drop by my profile as well if you want to talk, I love meeting new friends and I really don't bite so don't be shy nor be afraid 'kaaay? :p
Definitely looking forward to read some of your contributions here. Have a wonderful time and I hope you'll like it here and be an active member eventually. ♥
