I joined because I was pretty bored 3 years ago, and very curious, plus I liked Pokemon a lot and wanted to join a forum because I'd just found about them.
|
Because at the time I was totally obsessed with the anime & Ash.
|
hmm, I used to visit pokemon palace alot to check for pokemon updates, so one day I accidentally clicked on pokecommunity forums on the main site, I had a look around, I saw diamond/pearl news thread thing when it was still in delvelopment, I would check it up every so often to see what other people had to say, then after a month I wanted to post a few of my own thoughts, however I just got stuck on PC...made friends etc...so yeah.
|
I was shamfully stealing stuff from people while using google images and I came across a Trainer Card shop in th section which used to exist, I had a look around and then I came across the glory of the Spriting world, all the things I had seen people do from simple old paint. I then spotted the sprite comics section and stuck to it like glue. I mainly stayed because I eventually joined a comic made by Adam148 or as he was called at the time Adamski148 then I thought he was extremely good and when I signed up my sprite sheet, which to this day had a stolen trainer sprite was accepted even though it has horrible. So I stuck around to read the comics he came out with.
Eventually I lost my conection with PC and when I came back a lot had changed plus the friends I had made either became mods or left or just stayed quiet all the time, Other than one I think. |
I joined one day because when I got suspended from school and I got kicked off of serebii, I typed in "Pokemon forums" and this came up. So I joined it
:t354:TG |
I seached the web for pokemon and my bro read these forums.
|
I joined as there wasn't many people to talk about my obsession with on another board I'm a member of, I'm a first gen Pokemon fan, if that's what they call the ones who've been a huge fan since it was first aired on TV over 10 years ago... haha.
|
Well, I found this site while looking for hacks, though my friends recommended it before.
Mostly I didn't join before because I've had really bad experience with pokemon forums. I joined 3 forums that were supposedly 'great', Serebii, BulbaGarden, and PokeDream. Serebii just wasn't the right kind of forum for me, and the same with BulbaGarden. But PokeDream... *shudders* I asked a mod if they liked one thing, and the response I got was a paragraph of cursing and the mod telling me that he would infract me or ban me. Then, I saw a thread the same mod posted. The mod thought that there was a mythical creature that would make a good pokemon. I looked at it, and it was something that would make a person who was never scared have nightmares. So I said that it might not be a good idea for a pokemon since there are 5 year olds who play pokemon (my friend's brother is one of them) and it might scare them. Again, cursing and telling me he'd infract/ban me. So I left there and was looking for a pokemon forum where the members are really nice. I joined here and decided to test if the members were nice using the thread I made in New Users. I got about 10 replies in a few hours and I decided to be active (especially after seeing the Team Rocket and PokeSpe clubs :) ) So now I'm active after only a few days. Thanks for reading this LONG post. |
I joined because I thought it would be fun to play with people that I can still chat with.
And of course tournaments :) |
To be honest I found the site through Pokemon Shiny Gold but I grew to love the community and made a seperate account (Pokemon Related)
|
Um, I think it says 2004 or 2005 up by the avatar thing.
You guise from then probably have upwards of 2000 posts by now. I'll never catch up. |
I was searching up a Pokemon Gold/Silver remake and stumbled across Pokemon ShinyGold. I joined to download the beta, and then started posting in the Hacks Showcase section strictly, then moved on to posting in the entire Emulation forum. Then I started posting in MCG and that's when I decided to stick to PC.
So many people have joined PC because of ShinyGold.. XD;; |
Well, i joined because I was looking at a hack of PMD (Pokemon green rescue team or something like that) and I just felt like this would be a cool place, so I joined. ^.^ So glad I did.
|
I joined here because Kiryuu(aka Angela, Toto) mentioned this forum to me. I used to love the anime very much. And I was at SPPf. But one day they made frustrated because of their rules. And plus they ignore me, so she showed me this forum.
Now I am not into the anime anymore. I am into other anime and things in this forum. I still love this forum til this day. Everyone is so nice. ^^ |
I wanted to meet powerful trainers and to battle them to gain experience.
That's why I've joined! |
The reason why I joined this community is because of Advance Map 1.83...
Spoiler:
So I searched around the web to know it's mysteries and author, and so I stumbled on this community. :P |
Hey there, I joined the other day 'cause my mate - Hideakikazou told me about it. We are both Admins on another Pokémon forum, but its so dead. The owner is too full on, and everyone leaves. You aren't even allowed to breathe without being reprimanded. Words such as 'damn' and 'gay' are not allowed (and gay is only used when talking about something that IS, in actual fact gay [not lame] - like gay pride for example!)
I personally saw his editing/moderation of the the word 'gay' as a homophobic attack on anyone who is LGBT, and for that reason, I started looking for a new forum. My friend, who i mentioned before stumbled across this site, liked it instantly and sung its praises, and said I should join! Thats it really... sorry for the essay! |
I was looking for another Pokemon forum, but I found this one. Looked really good, so I joined.
(I still haven't found that forum.) Edit: I have, and it's virtually obsolete. |
Because I wanted Pokemon episodes... and music... something like that.
|
it was at one time i was searching about Shiny Pokemon, then came across this. so i thought, why not?
|
I joined PokeCommunity because it had a cool looking slogan, lots of (friendly) members, and it looked fun. ^_^
|
I was looking for an Emerald rom and came across a website that had a bunch of different Pokemon roms including many hacks. The first I tried was called ChaosBlack but I didn't like it so I tried a few more until I found ShinyGold Beta 3. I came to the end (the lighthouse I think) and couldn't figure out why I couldn't get in so I googled Shiny Gold and found this forum.
I found a bunch of other hacks that I really liked so I made an account but I never posted. I only started posting after I started making my own hack. Even then I wasn't really that active. Now I'm pretty active. I go on PC almost everyday. |
I joined here, because basically I needed somewhere to go after my small forum plummeted into nothingness, and there seemed to be lots of friendly members, and kind staff here anyways, and so far I've been having a great time.

Mostly to Role play.
My other forums aren't good at roleplaying... But now I believe this is my main forum. |
WOW, THIS IS THE ONLY SITE I VISIT REALLY
I joined because I was looking for a new beta of marble and came here loads of times and I wanted Liquid Ocean so I joined this site just because of those things above and after I just started to post some random things and started to like this site so I just stayed here and this is really the only site I visit when I use the Internet:P
|
I joined because... I love Pokémon! This helps me stay interested in Pokémon and Squirtle. It's the reason I love this place. It's probably the best forum I've ever been to. And possibly the only forum that I've had people respect me =)
|
I think I joined because I was still a little bit interested in pokemon. Though, I joined mostly because i wanted to meet some friends.
I've been here four years (I have another account that says June 30th 2004 and all the other PC veterans I know will also tell you that) and I pretty much know most of PC's ups and downs. XD |
Haha, I originally joined PC to post Sprite Comics in the then-active, now-ghost town Pixel Art area. I used to post so many and just had a great time with about 10 other guys that were super into it and we all read and just had fun together in there.
Then one day, I got MSN and I started branching off into other areas like Other Chat and MCG. XD |
Haha....Volkner's Apprentice nearly forced me to join. I got annoying when he was at my house and checking PC and such, but oh how little did I know. Then I got Diamond for my birthday, started becoming active in June or so, and the rest is history I suppose!
|
I joined PC becuase it's a pokemon forum and I like pokemon forums.
I also joined becuase the communtity itself is peaceful and happy, which makes it far from being a bad forum. |
I did it for the lulz. Very active forums, this place has.
|
I remember it quite well: I joined to ask a question about Deoxys events.
...Seriously. |

Haha, I had just gotten back into Pokemon after a 2 1/2 year lull from R/S/E. Wifi...truly an amazing thing...[/sigh of pleasure] Plus PC has so many cool things to do. It really is a great community! What's so great, in my eyes, when i first joined (to be honest) the majority of active members seemed to just be the shut-in-the-closet Pokemon lovers who (no offense to some!) are gothic or extremely nerdy or the like. Now it seems people are joining from all types of backgrounds, places, and personalities, it's awesome. Who says teens stick to cliques? Pokemon brings us all together :P |
I joined because I was looking for forums to join at the time, I know I'm a geek, and I thought I would join a Pokemon forum. I Googled Pokemon forums and PC was second, I was intending to join the first one and only the first one so I could focus on just one but after checking it out it wasn't very good, I don't remember which board it was. So I checked out PC and it seemed to have everything I was looking for, a pretty big community but not too huge where there was almost no way to establish individuality, so basically a close community type of thing. Well, I decided I would lurk at first but I decided to start posting and I ultimately became an active member of PC. I then started slacking and not coming on very much, it's not what it used to be but I still love this place and recently I feel that it's been on the incline. Maybe it's just nostalgia and it's becoming slightly more like what it used to be but for whatever the reason is I love this place. I have tried to join other Pokemon forums and sites but none of them feel quite like PC. Anyway, I joined because this place had what I wanted but the big part is staying, and I stayed because this site and the people in it are great.
|
I was looking for a home for my fanfiction, quite frankly. This place has proven to be a fairly good choice.
|
I was lurking here for a long while, since I wanted to learn how to hack after Shiny Gold had got me interested. I've been a member of Gamefaqs for a long time, and that place is slowly being taken over by stupids and a lot of jerks. My lurking time here, wanting to learn ROM hacking, added with the more important fact that I'm a very ignored person in terms of social life and there are a lot of friendly people here made me join PC. I like this place and most of the people here ever since...
|
I joined because the Pokemon forum I first joined...
(it's not PC) ...had one of those "server error" things. So I could not log in there, figured I could handle a second Pokemon forum. |
It's hard to think I was thirteen. Doesn't seem that long ago. IDK the real reason. I was new to the internet. Never could afford it before. I have a myspace (at thirteen I know! ) I didn't have a place to interact with people who LOVED pokemon like I did (back when I knew what every pokemon was and did ) I wanted to RP. My brother did it and I looked up to him a lot at that time. I loved it here. I visit every so often now. Haven't RP in well over a year. Don't talk to ANYONE really anymore. It's such a shame......I miss them. SQUIRTLEKETCHCEM12. My first pair. Alana, the first on I cared about. My brothers.....I miss you guys if you ever come back. You might not remember me though...Randall-Kun? Talk to me!
|
Cause I love Pokemon, and I was trying to find some good forums out there. I've also joined Serebii, but it's lacking something.
|
Well, my friend told me I should join a forum as he is a part of few and Pokemon has been one of few game franchises I have been REALLY addicted to, yet I know very few people who like Pokemon with me! :( Although some of my friends...
Also I came to make new friends and so far the people seem really cool and friendly! :D |
Well, I joined because I wanted some Pokemon Forum back then when I was all grammar weak and stuff. For one, I thought Serebii was god. That pretty much summarizes how terrible at grammar and stuff I was.
|
I joined after my brother told me he was planning to trade for a Movie Darkrai from someone on PC. I joined in hopes of getting one myself, which I did. But I've stayed and have become an active of PC.
|
I don't even recall why I joined PC or why i even stayed at the start. But i'm glad i did, if only for the people.
|
I got so mad that my friends kept beating me at WiFi'ing so I googled Pokemon Strategies and Movesets. I saw a link to PokeCommunity and clicked it. A few months later, I have an awesome Rain Dance team and I haven't lost to my friends since.
|
I really don't remember why I joined. I believe it was... because I wanted more comments for my pokemon fanfiction back at the time, because SPPF just did not suffice. :< (I do remember how I found PC though, and it was through Misty Lover-something-with-lots-of-symbols' signature. At least, I think her username was Misty Lover...? Well I dunno. Misty was in it. xD)
And then I discovered the roleplaying section, which intrigued me, because at the time, I believe I was still roleplaying on Neopets. :D So I got into roleplaying, decided that Neopets sucked because I was too lazy to feed them, and decided to dedicate myself full time to roleplaying on Pokecommunity. And I'm still here, about three years later. Epic, no? Especially considering all of my old friends have essentially disappeared. Quote:
|
I was getting back into Pokemon and I had a few questions that my Pokemon Emerald book didn't say... Lol, I know... It is a ridiculous reason.
|
I Joined Because I LOVE Pokemon
|
I just joined because I recently bought Pearl after watching my brother absorb into the game. Then I started playing more Pokemon games then it ended up like this.
|
Originally, I only joined to download Shiny Gold, but the community looked nice and I was sick of people being rude to me on PFU because I was a new staff member so I stayed around. This place looks nice! ^_^
|
I said this like two years ago but I'll say it again but its going to be alittle different this time. The reason I wanted to join here is because I wanted visit new forums to join instead using the forum I always go to. Plus this place has a lot of good clubs here. Also another reason I joined is because Sppf forum is getting kinda boring every now and then. I still like it there but I wanna try new Pokemon, Games, and fanfic forums to visit.
|
Well, I started out at N-Craze forums, the original host site of Pokémon White.
I saw a post that had a link to the hacks showcase here. :) I've been lurking for a secret member for days checking out the showcase, and got even more interested into hacks. So, I decided to join, and have been completely dedicated to this forum. ;D |
I have absolutely no idea...
I just somehow stumbled apon this site two years ago. |
I wanted to join a Pokemon forum, and Serebii forums didn't appeal to me. The chatrooms are nice enough, but the forums themselves aren't. So I thought I'd come here instead, since this seems like a friendly enough forum, and the choice of skins is nice as well.
|
i find this forum through google, and when i first post in New Users part i received warm welcome which impressed me greatly.it is my pleasure to make friends and learn sth. with other players here.Keep going on, PC!!!
|
I searched for Google on hacking. One of the first things to come up was zels shiny gold hack from pokecommunity. I was going to download it but then I figured out that you need to be a member to download. I joined and been here ever since.
|
When I found this site in october of 2004 I was completely and totally new to forums and the internet in general. I lurked around as I aquired an email address. Though my lurking I saw that this was a friendly community and joined as soon as I could. I was welcomed by none other than F_G and shortly after she became PC president and soon after moderator of OC. Those were the days, I'll tell ya. The good 'ole days. I grew to love this site, but it's changed a lot in the last 4 years to be quite honest. and I have to say it hasnt changed for the better...But for whatever reason, this site means a lot to me. I'd be really depressed if it died even though I often struggle to find threads I feel like posting in. I hope someday to get back in the action like I was back in '04.
