Hey to the PC group. ^_^
My real name is Robin and as you can see in my info by here, I am a bit on the old side for a Pokemaniac. Well, been one since Senior Year of HS and haven't put the critters down yet! LOL
First off, I am a refugee from Smogon as I was learning the competitive thing wasn't really my style. I prefer more freeform without competitive movesets, IVs, and EVs to worry about.
Secondly, I will admit missing Gen 3 but got back in action with the DS generation of games and even got my hands on Sapphire, FireRed, and Emerald for my DS-Lite.
Favorite Pokemon is actually based on fond memories of which ones I've always put on my teams. I love the Grass and Fire-type starters but I did go with Mudskip on Emerald when I started playing it and I've found this Water-type definitely my style. Other than that, Dragon-types will always be awesome in my eyes. Though Lugia gets high marks for coolness and the fact that it has Aeroblast. ^_~
By the way, my battle style resolves around a combination of being either quick to hit, hit hard, or both. Basically, I try to Blitzkrieg my opponents and this is seen in my Platinum team of Infernape, Floatzel, Staraptor, Gabite, and Gliscor with Froslass reserved for the sixth slot.
Hope this gives you an idea of what I am about and will try to stay active here.
