What a road here 😂 So way back in the day of Red/Blue/Yellow and the intro of the TCG in the US, I was really into the franchise (manga, anime, anything cute and/or collectible), than sort of fell out of it by the time Silver came around. (I played Silver, but was so not into it that apparently I didn't finish the story line nor remember like...any of the pokemon from the generation.)
A million years later, I met my SO and some of their friends who are very, very into the franchise (think subtle pokemon references at the wedding). I enjoyed them enjoying it, but it's never a topic I instigated. Well, New Pokemon Snap came out, and SO saw a perfect opportunity because they'd never played Snap and I adored it, so they bought the game as soon as it came out. Doooown the rabbit hole we went, with a lot of AHHHHH on my part because there are so many new cute things.
Hot on its heels came BDSP, another perfect storm of nostalgia for a bunch of friends that I then got swept into, and now I'm...here. I'm curious about what the community looks like outside of my bubble and, of course, in need of trades (or just other people to give things to, because I fell into the breeding hole and hate just dumping boxes of 5 IVs into the nether).
Thanks for having me! I don't really have any pockets of wisdom to share because I'm so new to this, but I'm happy to help when I can.
