Oh, I' don't really get on PC that often. I'm a rather busy college student, and I got through phases with my online community participation, and pokemon playing. However, I got sparked into playing pokemon again and being an active member of PC when I heard that I had missed the Shaymin event back in February. I did get one, thanks to PC.
Oh, and I am not from Japan. I am just taking Japanese at school and really loving it, and am hoping to travel to Japan and teach English to children.
