This is what an introduction looks like.
 
Hmmm, so I'm making one of these after all, lolo.

hello, PC! I've been here before, under a different username, but didn't stick around. I think this time it'll be different, as I plan to make a real effort to participate and post regularly. I honest to God haven't been active in a Pokemon forum in years, tbqh. XD I've been a member of Serebii, Bulbagarden and Cave of Dragonflies and eventually left them all, heh. But that's neither here nor there, so let's get onto the (hopefully) more interesting bit of this intro.

The handle "Devil Flamingo" is one I use in LJ, Last FM and now here. It's a reference to a song by the awesome, epic, gorgeous, flawless, perfect, etc. queen of indie j-rock, Tsukiko Amano. However, online I just go by "Prinz" or any variants of it (since my irl last name is Prince), so you can just call me that.

The first Pokemon games I ever played were Ruby and Sapphire, so I tend to favour Pokemon from Hoenn and Sinnoh respectively rather than Kanto and Johto like most people. My first starter ever was Torchic, but in every other game that's not R/S/E I've chosen the Grass type, as I believe it to be the BEST POKEMON TYPE OF ALL TIME. I do not care about its shortcomings or about the things that hinder it; I love Grass Pokemon and with the exception of the Ludicolo line, I like pretty much every Grass type in existence. My favourite Pokemon ever is Roserade (shocking, innit!) and I consider myself a Grass-type Elite trainer in the making (once upon a time in Netbattle, my Meganium survived a Fire Blast from a noob's Groudon, and then KO'd it with his Overgrow'd HP Grass <3).

However, I do not care for Erika or Gardenia; the first is a perfume-loving weakling and the second is a crackpot hippy. What the Grass type needs is a strong female or male figure to represent it, not some weak flower-loving pansy. At least Dento of Isshu seems promising (assuming he is indeed a Grass specialist), but I'm biased because I think he's cute and needs to join my already-gigantic male harem. So glad Brock is getting replaced, haha (if you must know, Rock types are the bane of my existence; I cannot despise Rhyfailure and Probophail enough, jfc). Cradily is the only Rock type I actually love so much it hurts.

Anyways, I'm Cuban by birth and Canadian by residence. I'm 22 years old. I study French, Italian and Linguistics. Winter is my favourite season. I'm hopelessly addicted to music, all kinds of music, especially anything and everything composed by Yuki Kajiura. Lately I'm into Durarara!! a lot and have been advertising it like crazy despite having watched like... a few eps. I cannot for the life of me stand pickles, but I really love berries and nuts, as well as coffee and chocolate.

I'm a lot into personality typing things; I'm a Leo (Sun) and Sagittarius (Moon) and was born in the Year of the (Earth) Dragon. My MBTI type is INFP, and my Enneagram type is 4w5. My would-be Hogwarts House is either Ravenclaw or Slytherin; basically, I'm a Slytherclaw. My D&D alignment is Chaotic Neutral.

Of course I'm aware that this introduction is tl;dr by most people's standards and not all quite Pokemon-related; unfortunately I happen to suffer from a fake disease called ROD (ramble-on disorder) which means I am simply incapable of shutting the hell up once I get started on about something. If you know the user Alakazam17 he will vouch for me as this being indeed the case (we're good friends, despite being irl opposites in just about everything). :D

Anyways, this is lengthy enough, I think, so I'm off to mix 'n mingle... or actually, I think I'll go to bed and mix 'n mingle when I wake up, lolo. See you around~

It's not here, but it is there. Welcome here though :D
That was a lengthy intro but that just means more information's in it, right? I did read it, just don't have a lot to say about it except that I too can ramble on about things (I can also not say anything) but I tend to ramble on about nothings.
If you get bored enough feel free to VM me, you don't seem like you'd have any questions that I could answer.

Devil Flamingo August 31st, 2010 8:22 AM

Hahah, your avvy and sig are quite cute. I trust cute things to be wise, so I'll ask you any questions if I've got them, hehe. I'm not very wise myself, so.

Anyways, thanks for the welcome. :3

Powerflare August 31st, 2010 8:47 AM

Haha, nice intro! Long, but detailed and well written. Welcome to Pokécommunity... again (you did say this is your second time)! :P I picked Torchic in Ruby the first time playing it, and it became my first level 100 Pokémon I have. I also like most Grass-type Pokémon, though I don't have a favorite type and like other types equally. I actually dislike Roserade, though I heard its actually quite effective so I may give it a second chance. My second favorite Pokémon is Sceptile and my 5th favorite Pokémon is Torterra (so Grass-types are high up there on my fav list); they are also my favorite starter line for that region (nothing against the other grass type starters, but I prefer Charizard and Feraligatr respectively over Venasaur and Meganium). I really like your username and your avatar (colorful)! If you got any questions, comments, or just feel like saying "Hai" you can VM me.

Chad - August 31st, 2010 8:53 AM

Wow, that was a very, very long introduction you posted, but I enjoyed reading it xD I hope this time you will stick with PokéCommunity and manage to stay active. I lol'd at Erika and Gardenia xD Durarara!! is win! I loved every second of it and it made my top 10 best anime ever xD

I possibly have ROD, too. I talk a lot as well. :\ Anyways, you introduced yourself quite nicely and you deserve an award for the best introduction thread here. xD I hope you can find something here that might be of interest to you and be sure to check out the rules. If you ever need to chat or have a problem, feel free to drop me a VM or a PM so we can talk xD

Best intro I've seen in a long time. Welcome to PC, Devil Flamingo! Sapphire was the first one I beat and Hoenn is nostalgic for me, so I can see where you're coming from. Good to see that we're getting more literate Hoenn lovers around here. And Roserade is one of my favorite grass types, as well. I hate flowers irl, but I love most flower-based Pokemon.

Anyway, if you have any questions or just want someone to talk to, feel free to VM me. You seem like a really cool person and I really hope I see you around the forums. Hopefully my section, since we need more discussion going on there.

Devil Flamingo August 31st, 2010 9:37 AM

Powerflare - Hey! Thanks for the welcome. The Grass type has indeed been getting stronger since the days of RSE, so I'm not surprised you favour the latter starters rather than Venusaur and Meganium. Admittedly, I'm not too fond of most Kanto or Johto Grass types except Parasect and Meganium. :3

Chad - A Durarara!! fan, great! I keep stalling the eps because I don't want the series to end, and there's only like 30 or so. I shall stick around, I think, as there's plenty of discussion to be participate in, hmmm. :D Thanks for welcoming me!

Sydian - Hallo! I find it amusing that you dislike flowers irl; I love them. I'm no hippy or treehugger but I'm fascinated by plant-life, hence my love for the Grass type. I'll be sure to check out your section and see what's happening there, or else start discussions myself if it's deadpan. ;) I appreciate the welcome.

Assault August 31st, 2010 10:19 AM

Welcome to the forum!
And great introduction, real depthy.
I love your avatar and you have an interesting name. :)

Alakazam17 August 31st, 2010 12:52 PM

What, you mean you actually joined PC now? =O

Welcome to the community, Devil Flamingo, and I hope you have fun here. ^_^

And yes, I will vouch for you having R.O.D. :P

Hiidoran August 31st, 2010 7:39 PM

Well hey, if Alakazam17 thinks you're cool, you must be an alright guy! :D

Not to mention, the way to warm my heart is a lengthy introduction...

Can't say I'm a big fan of grass-types, as if you couldn't tell that by my user name being "Hiidoran." Just as you would imagine, my favorite type is a little on the hot side. Buuut just because my passion happens to be burning down all your pretty flowers, that doesn't mean we can't be friends! ;D

Linguistics! :D Before I switched my major to Nursing, that was my primary focus. Anytime ya wanna discuss that kinda stuff, I'm always up for it! Although I may be a little rusty on the nuts and bolts. I remember velor-fricatives, does that help? :D

Any who, hope you're enjoying yourself 'round here.
