Blast from the past, the Wailord avatar that lead me to PokéCommunity.

After finding Cartoons! on Smogon, I wondered if he still had the Wailord avatar. As some may know, it was an over-sized avatar on Smogon (along with a T_S guide) that lead me to this community on January 30th, 2008. Well... here I am as a staff member & 3,776 posts later. XD; Amazing how a simple file size affected so much. This is it, that Wailord avatar the dragged me here. It was obviously my first avatar on PC, and some people (Like Gerri, Oni, Saryka (Back then Scarlet), Went, and some others might remember. :D



My favorite Pocket Monster, Wailord using Water Spout, a request of a professional animator when he first joined Smogon University. (Which is really the main reason the size was too much, so heh, imagine if I waited?) Cartoons! is amazing, and I'll always love this. This is the cut down version. The original one was over 30 KB, hence I couldn't use it and ended up here.

Many people come to PC for the activity, community, Shiny Gold or other various hacks, the DPt section, etc. And yet a silly kid with an over-sized avatar who was looking for a community that it could fit is writing this entry. So, whoever came up with the size for regular members, reeled in a Bleachy. :D

So much happened in my first few days of PC, maybe I'll write more about it. Also, wow, my Why did you join PokéCommunity? thread is still active, cool. XD

    I didn't see you in your early days, so I don't remember it. ;; I didn't start seeing you (or perhaps noticing you, not sure) until you had that one banner... it was tall, and I think it was Roxas? Maybe? It was light-colored, anyway. That's the first time I remember you. XD
