A salutation and introduction
 
Hey hey... at last managed to register.

Well hello to everyone. My name here is solovino and as you can see I'm new to this forum. I came here after wandering a while at the Serebii forums but I'm not registered there; decided it would be a good idea to register here instead.

Me likes lots of things but mostly sci-fantasy, TV series (of which my favourite is "24"), videogames; also mythology, math, cats and italian food. Um... this being a Pokémon Community I should probably focus on pokéthings: I played Gold in handheld, the first one I ever had, and most of the others in emulators, now playing LeafGreen which I have to say I have enjoyed a lot because of the memories of old times Blue and Red.

I am also a quarter time CS student, a quarter time beginner fanfiction writer, and a quarter time freelance advisor, just so that you can get a slight glimpse to my schedule...

Happy to be here BTW. I'll update profile in the near future with things like preference, trainercards, and the like, right now I'm busy reading YE OLDE RULES and the Emulation/Fanfiction sections.

Ah, someone has already read the rules!
Congratulations for being so very prepared and intelligent!

Welcome to the Pokécommunity, Solovino.
To tell you the truth, one does not even have to discuss Pokémon here if they do not wish. The community has a wide variety of sections in which you may discuss all kinds of things Pokémon-related or otherwise.
(I'm sure you will be quite satisfied with them.)

So, you didn't join Serebii, eh?
That was a very wise decision, indeed. From what I have heard and experiences a tad bit, the forums over at that website are non too kind and a tid bit too strict for most people's liking. The Pokécommunity, on the other hand, is full of helpful people and just stuffed to the brim with the same interesting discussions one would find there, if not better!

Oh, I'm sure many of our members would absolutely love to read some of your fan fiction, Solovino. If you wish, you may post some of it in either the Pokémon Fan Fiction section or the Other Writing section. Either way, I'm sure you will receive quite the positive response, indeed!

Well, I suppose that's all I have to say.
I do hope you will enjoy your stay and I thank you for such a well thought out and enjoyable introduction.
(I do love a good read. ;D)

Take care and have a great time.

CS? Computer science? If so, I pity your workload. My old roomate's a CS major, and I hardly saw her last year...

Also, you have good tastes in games. I played Gold and Leaf Green, way back in the day. They're so much cooler than Silver and Fire Red, am I right? ;D *shot*

Welcome to PC! Hopefully you'll find this forum's the one for you. We have a bunch of neat members and features here, though, so it probably is. ;3 Have fun!

hullo, I also like cats they're so awesome.
You seem to have a lot of interests which is great you'll make so many friends here :D.
Also good call on not registering at Serebii forums- I never did. I just came across these forums first (which is weird cause I use serebii's site a lot) and after hearing stuff about their forums I logged on to look and some people there seem..... less than nice. But everyone here is so friendly.

Welcome to the forums, I also seemed to like the G/S/C generation.
Read the rules, and Visitor Message me if you want to chat.

Hey!--- that was fast! I mean, the answers...

@Hiidoran, I can see you're something more than expressive... I was just reading the RULES, in fact I finished only a couples ago because the site went FNT for a while:paranoid:. Thanks, anyway, think I'm ready to enjoy the site.

@Sammi, yeah, computer science. And yeah, schedules and workload are a mess. And before you ask, yes, I'm waaaaaay behind schedule in my thesis, but worry not! I'm already adressing that issue by using some social engineering (heh, If one wants to truly learn one must pursue all the branches of the knowledge, not stay within a narrow vision).

I never played Silver, don't know why. I played FireRed and switched to LeafGreen almost instantly, I like it way more. But let's not make a sacred war out of FireRed v/s LeafGreen... or are there:badsmile:?

Fanfics wise, I'm just a beginner, I have only three published in FF dot net & they are all Final Fantasy, the only Pokémon FF I have is, obviously, an OT (though I developed it well... yes I'm reading the Writer's Lounge! :classic:)... so probably once I get more experience and get up some levels I may release something Pokémon-related. So I'll keep one keen eye on the Fanfiction Lounge.

Thanks for your welcomes! Expecting to have some serious fun!

PD.: BTW, about the Serebii thing, are you guys serious? Are they that bad? I did not catch a lot, probably because I did not register... looks like a good thing I *poof*ed here instead!

Welcome to PC Solovino!

Yeah, I've seen Serebii, the mods there are too strict for my liking =( But I'm glad you joined!

It's a good thing you already read the rules, you probably already know how things work around here =D I hope you have a wonderful time here. See you around!
