New you are indeed! Welcome to PokeCommunity, matsuko. n~n
I've been playing since the first generation too and still have my old Pokemon games. They probably won't work very well anymore, but I
did test out Crystal a few months back and it had no problems at all. Now if only my Animal Crossing game for the DS was as cooperative, baha. Like Meganium said, you'll find people aplenty to connect with if you stop by the Trade Corner or Battle Center, though those are mostly for trading and battling respectively. You're more than welcome to leave a note in your signature if you're searching for people to play with as well! That's always a great use for a signature and you might just run into some cool people that way. I only recently got Wi-Fi so I think I'm finally ready to work on my Join Avenue.. the poor thing is totally empty. :(
Stop by the fifth generation board while you're at it if you're looking to discuss Black 2! You can even log your adventures in the
Unova Travel Journal, so there's a whole bunch of fun things to do around here. The regulars would be thrilled to have more people stop by! On that note, perhaps you can delve into other generation discussion boards too, especially if you have a game from every generation. Surely that means you're a big fan and have lots 'n lots to talk about. We'll likely run into each other as well.. despite how big PC is, you'd be surprised with how many people you see in different parts of the forum.
If you're looking for a friend, I'm always around as well! Having a friend will make it much more worthwhile to keep checking back. I know how tough it can be at first since I was super shy when I joined under this account and it took me a month or two to finally open up. I'd love to help you out so you don't end up in the same boat. :D;
Enjoy your stay and see you around!
