Skppy1225 here!
 
Hey, everybody! I'm skppy1225. I'm 19 years old and I hail from Pennsylvania. I absolutely love Pokémon and wanted a good place to visit that's full of people who are the same way.

Now for a little bit about myself. I'm currently a full-time college student studying for a degree in Computer Information Systems. Computers are my life - I love working on them and spend most of my free time on my computer. I currently work as a sales clerk. All I can tell you is this: don't ever, ever get a job in retail. There's a reason it was ranked as the 2nd worst career track. As for my other interests, I also love to play video games. My favorite game of all time would have to be Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Some of my other favorite games, besides Pokémon of course, are Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, Portal, Resident Evil 4, Rock Band, Left 4 Dead, the original Spyro the Dragon trilogy, Tekken, and a lot of others. Outside of the computer and playing video games, I like to just hang out with my friends, go shopping, and listen to music. I have a very strange taste in music and listen to a lot of different genre. All I can really say is, if you really want to know more about it, check my Last.fm widget on my profile. XD But Ben Folds is my idol and definitely my favorite musician.

I also like to watch movies from time to time. My favorite movie is, without a doubt, Fantastic Mr. Fox. I absolutely love dry humor and this film mastered it. I loved it so much I had to stop watching it. If I don't I sit there for forever and nit-pick every little thing you can imagine, to the point where I read most of the newspaper Mr. Fox reads. My other favorite movies are Legend of the Guardians, Up, Over the Hedge, Snakes on a Plane (it's stupidly hilarious), My Dog Skip (it makes me cry *every* single time I watch it), and a lot of others here as well.

As for Pokémon, my favorite is Flygon. I don't know why, I just love Flygon's design. I also play the TCG and have four decks built, a grass/psychic deck, a steel/electric deck, a water/fighting deck, and a dark/fire deck. The water/fighting is my favorite because I use Flygon Lv. X. I've never played competitively but I've always wanted to give it a shot, but there's nowhere within a reasonable driving distance to play.

I think I covered everything. If you want to know anything else, don't be afraid to ask! I think I'm going to like it here!

Your introduction brings tears to my eyes. ;o; The time and effort is astounding!

I'll keep that retail comment in mind! Oh hey, Red Dead Redemption. :o I wanted that game really bad, but everyone said it wasn't that great so I didn't get it. I'm sort of still regretting that decision. :/

I've been wanting to see Fantastic Mr. Fox now that you mention it... mostly because I love Meryl Streep. I completely forgot about My Dog Skip! You're right about the ending though it is very sad. D:

With well thought out posts like that I think you're going to make a wonderful addition to the community! I can happily say welcome to Pokecommunity and I hope your time spent here is well enjoyed!

Well, thank you!

Yeah, retail is terrible. I can't even tell you all the things I see, how rude some of the people are, and what you have to put up with in the course of a week. It's actually changed the way I shop.

I love Red Dead Redemption. Aside from a few graphical problems, the biggest one being the pop-up, and the odd glitch here or there, it's perfect. The single player missions are extremely cool and the multiplayer is insanely fun.

You really need to see Fantastic Mr. Fox. While it's not for everyone because of its' dry humor, Meryl Streep did an absolutely incredible job as Mrs. Fox.

Thank you again! I'm already enjoying the little time that I spent here - it's a wonderful place!

You think retail is bad? Heck, those people are only shopping for consumer goods. You wanna see some frequently dissatisfied customers, you come work in health care, my friend. You tell them just one little bit of bad news that's completely beyond your control in every way, and they don't just want to speak to your manager... they want you fired, and your license taken away. The world we live in, eh? >:

But hey, that's at work... not here! :D Gotta say I enjoy my workload a heck of a lot more around here, and the people are waaaaay nicer when I have to be the bearer of bad news. And it IS my doing when it comes to PC... no one else was givin' out that infraction. ;D

Very nice effort put forth into your introduction, m'boy! Hope ya keep it up! Oh, and feel free to message me or any of the other staff members if you happen to have any questions. It's... kinda what we're here for. :3

Yup, gotta love it when they blame you for stuff that's out of your control. I guess that's just how people like to act nowadays. =/

And thank you very much! I'll be sure to get in contact with an administrator if I need any help.
