Hiya! Nice to meet you, Flygon.
Clever thought to introduce yourself to some people here, building up contacts is always nice. I have to admit I was to shy to do so myself at the time. I didn't even made an introduction topic in The Welcome Lounge. Now would be a little late, right?
Anyways, I saw you're introduction thread, but as it already got plenty of replies, so I didn't thought it would have much of a point in replying too. You mention you came from Seribii, but didn't really like it there. I don't know what it is (I've never been on other open forums than PC myself), but I've heard similar stories more often around here. PokéCommunity somehow got a really nice atmosphere, that's why I stayed here. Looking at the length of your posts, you could bring a good input at threads around here. I hope you'd stick around.
I see I haven't really introduced myself. I don't know if you've read my profile, but it doesn't say much I believe. (I'm thinking to update it for some time. But yeah, I'm also thinking about making a signature for like a really long time and still haven't done that.) So, hi, I'm H.A.N., but you can call me HAN or even Han, I admit the dots are annoying to type and most people don't bother typing them anyway. Like you, my first games were Gen III and IV, but there not what I grew up with. I grew up with the anime of the first generation as a kid, but as I've never owned a handheld device I've never been able to play a game without an emulator. This means I still haven't played the newest games, but I do keep up with the current generation by going to the Battle Server every now and then. So, that's a small introduction from my side. I'm not good at writing those...
You know, what I really am wondering: why did you decide to VM me?
