Ah, brings back memories.
Hey. My name's BenRK. (Please note, it's pronounced Ben Are Kay, not Ben erk, Ben prescription, or Ben Rekay. Ben Are Kay!!!)
Now, some of you may know me, however unlikely, from my good old days of Pokemon Defenders. Ah, yes, Pokemon Defenders. Such a humble site of mine. I don't quite know why it died like it did. Most likely because I lost interest and got distracted with other things (*coughgamemakercough*). I'm likely never going to revive it again. Some of you may know me from another dead Pokemon site, Pikachus Pokechow. Again, this is unlikely. And, maybe one of you will know me as the most active member on Reflect Games. Anyway, enough about other places. I remember when I was REALLY into Pokemon. Ah, the good old days of playing Pokemon Red by the light of the Christmas tree. Those were the times. Little did my 8 year old self know that in 10 years, he would be able to play good old Pokemon Red and a number of other games with out the need of dim lights in the living room! Little Ben, you don't have to hide your GameBoy from your parents in your bedroom with a closed door! *cough* Er... Anyway, hello, I'm BenRK, and I have a nostalgia problem. |
*applauds*
Easily one of the best welcome threads I've ever seen, BenRK! It's nice to get a little background on our new members and why the play this awesome game we call pokemon. Bravo! Without further ado, welcome to PC! It sounds like you've been quite involved with pokemon forums in the past! I do hope that PC can live up to your expectations. We're a pretty cool community with some very cool members, and we do love our pokemon here ^_^. I invite you to browse through our many threads and see if you can't find some excellent topics to get posting on! Ah yes...the good ol' days of pokemon. Oh, how it has evolved! XD Please so read the rules/FAQ, as they should answer most of your questions, and PM/VM me if you ever need assistance or just want to say hi! Enjoy the forums, BenRK (Ben are kay =P)....And I shall see you around! |
Ahh yes, those were the days...
Anyways Welcome to PC! And welcome back to the Pokemon World! Hope you enjoy pokemon as much as 8-Year-Old Ben did! |
But who doesn't want to return to those awesome days of old?
Unless you got a "worm-light" there was no hope in playing Pokémon unless you had a steady light sorce near. Ah, that brings back great memories... Welcome to the Pokécommunity, my new fellow nostalgia loving friend! Thank you for writing out the pronunciation of your name, as I am sure I read it incorrectly the first time I saw it. (Though, Ben Prescription is pretty darn funny if I do say so myself. xD) Wow, you sure have been around the Pokémon forum circuit for quite a while, haven't you? I don't even recognize some of those sites you have listed up there... May I ask if they were very large back in their prime? Any who... All of us oldies to the Pokémon franchise have a nostalgia problem, BenRK. Sure, the new games are very nice and completely entertaining, but the older generations will take our hearts every time. We played them as children and now most of us are adults. Everyone yearns to return to their childhood and experience the good old days, and playing Pokémon is our little way of doing that. ;D (If you really want a good blast from the past, frequent the Metal and Color Generation Discussions. It's guaranteed to bring back some memories!) Take care! |
Welcome to PC BenRK!
Ah, the good ol' days. Brings back memories... too bad I never got to experience it =P (My first Pokemon game was Emerald, actually.) I hope you enjoy it here at PC! |
Welcome to the forums
So you must really like the good old days? Thats good to know. Unfortunatly, my pokemon past is actually faded and depressing unlike your pokemon past. I never heard of those sites you mentioned. My question is the same as Hiidoran's. "May I ask if they were very large back in their prime?" Make sure you read the rules and FAQ, and most importantly, HAVE FUN! |
Well, Reflect Games isn't Pokemon, but rather, a game design site, and still active. Pokemon Defenders was my own site, and I'd like to think it was popular, but it was just your average Pokemon fan site with no forum and, well, stolen HTML. (Ok, it wasn't stolen, but you would take other peoples free designs if you were a 11 year old site designer too!)
Pikachus Pokechow was fairly active back in the day, but the owner moved on, and so did we. Anyway, hey, thanks for the warm welcome. I'm sure I'll find plenty to do and talk about here. I even have some games I'm planning that I may just release here. One of which being a "remake" of an original HTML game of mine back in my Pokemon Defenders days. And when I say remake, I mean it will only share the name. Heh, there I go again, talking about game design. Heh. Well, thanks again for the welcome. |

Welcome to PC~! :D You have an interesting history. Pikachu's Pokechow sounds familiar. I wonder if I ever visited it? Hm. I could've, back when I first got on the 'Net. Ah, to be that in love with Pokemon still. XD Anyway, make sure to have fun while you're here and stuff. Okay? Or I'll eat you. >:D |

Cool. I lost interest in the game because, well, there's never anyone on. That I can find. I'll check that out.
