Heeey there Salvia! Nice to meet you, welcome to the forum. Your font and username are pretty adorable!
New here you are! But you're not alone; there are lots of new members joining every day. What exactly did you join the forum for? ^^ People join for varying reasons but usually it's either to get help on something they're working on or just involve themselves with the Pokemon community in general. I came here for the hacks waaay back in 2006 but rejoined in 2011 hoping to make new friends with interests similar to myself. So that's my forum life in a nutshell, now let us know about yours if you'd like!
And on that note, you should tell us more about yourself! We don't have much to go off of to make a reply so it might be hard to say much. Things such as your favorite Pokemon, when you got into the series, what you like to do in your spare time, and so on. But since we know you're looking for friends, I'll recommend the
New Users' Hangout to get to know other newbies as well as old-time members. :] We're all friendly and love to meet new members! Some of the people here are just amazing. If you're looking to talk about Pokemon we have a ton of sections available just for that, including clubs and Pokemon-based forum games, but of course there's a wide array of off-topic things to discuss about here, too. Up to you!
Have a great stay around the forum! If you need anything I'd love to help out, as would our other wonderful members. Honestly, don't be scared to contact us anytime! Have a great stay! Oh, and remember to read the rules!
