Ah ha~ Less dramatically; I feel genuinely inexperienced with forums and I'd like to request a guiding light.

I'm most interested in the creatively inclined boreds. Anyone who knows their way around a pencil is a magnificent fellow in my book, and I want to bump sides with others who I can seek advice and critique from. That's not to say I'm disinterested in the other cogs of the machine though!

I'm an avid roleplayer, I'll admit. I adore weaving stories enough as it is, but when I can get someone else to do half the work for me?! It's ingenius, I tell you.
I've been aching to break into competitive battling and unraveling the mysteries of an effective team, Effort Values, Individual Values, and why the heck the Nuzlocke challenge absolutely despises me. (And everyone else too, I'm certain.)

There's also all sorts of squees to be had over how fabulous Ruby is in the Pokémon Adventures manga. And there's the greatest debate of our time... Is Rarity more fabulous? Or Ruby? Cross fandom discussion never ceases to be interesting.

I'm certain to poke around throughout the entire website if it catches my fancy, but I can't be certain where such whimsies will lead me and when.

Most importantly, I'm looking for co-conspirators to assist me a project gone sour, in a game I've been planning. I hate to aound utilitarian (I'm sure that word means what I think it means), but I'm desperate to get this thing movig, and I'm having no luck on my own.

I just know I'll find a niche for myself here, I'm just... Timid about wedging myself in, I guess.

Wow um....I'm not sure if you're introducing yourself or you're trying to request a mentor. From your post, to be honest, I can't decipher what your interests are. I do see you are interested in both Roleplaying Competitive Battling, and Game Development. Is that what you're aiming for?

I would recommend you to fill out the form from the first page, so that way I can pinpoint your interests and match you with the best mentor for you. :)

Whimsyful April 30th, 2012 7:04 PM

I apologize for my long windedness. It does get out of hand fairly often. *Er-Hem!* I promise to keep a leash on myself this time Dx

1) I'm most interested in the Creative Discussions area. There's no specifics, honestly. Just the entire durned thing~
2) The same as above, really. But also the workings of the Competitive Battling and Trading areas.
3) I'm certain I'm going to check out entire forum by some point or another.
4) I have a project I'm working on, a fangame, and I'm hoping to recruit helpers. Otherwise, I'd like to enjoy the entire thing~

Meganium April 30th, 2012 7:20 PM

That's okay!

We have separate mentors for the Creative Discussions area, so pretty much Abnegation for the Art Gallery and Game Development, and Roswell & Miss Doronjo for Roleplay Corner. We also have PlatinumDude and Forever for Competitive Battling, as well as TwilightBlade for Trading.

So, whichever you like! Anyone of those mentors I mentioned are willing to take you in. :)

Whimsyful April 30th, 2012 7:56 PM

Thank you very much~!
if I may, Abnegation sounds like the best pick for me.

It's kind of funny, this adoption thing works in reverse~ withthe "mentee" picking the mentor I mean.

Ah ha ha~

Meganium May 1st, 2012 6:08 AM

It works that way better because if I contact the mentor first before I pinpoint the interests, new members leave. Now that it looks like you're staying, and still expressing interest, I can go ahead and contact Abnegation. :3

He'll be on shortly to take you in! :)

seeker May 1st, 2012 7:05 AM

Yupp! I'm available, best you come to me with whatever questions, concerns and advice you have and need. You can shoot me a PM, or you can send me a message via skype (my add is gavz93) or go with my MSN ([email protected]). Whatever it is be sure to approach me and I'll help you out.

Thanks for the heads up again Meg!

Dancer_A May 3rd, 2012 4:40 PM

1) What boards are you most interested in?
I guess rom-hacking, I only really lurked there so I'm not sure what else is here
2) What boards are you most interested in getting to understand?
Maybe competitive battling?
3) Would you like to venture out into other parts of the forum?
Sure?
4) Are there any specific things you're looking to do while you're here?
Not be a lurker who just appears and disappears

Does that work?
Green text?

Meganium May 3rd, 2012 5:05 PM

I wonder why there's green text in that CSS thingy. :|

Anyways, yeah...great to see that you're willing to learn more about our sections! I remember you mentioned that you're a minor hacker and you're willing to learn more about the Emulation section. Our three mentors (DrFuji, SwiftSign, and dragon456) have room for one more mentee and are willing to take you in whenever. :3

Since you're also willing to learn about Competitive battling, I'm sure PlatinumDude is willing to teach you the basics! He's a regular in CBC and he'll convert you to a battler. :D

Emulation or Competitive Battling, it's up to you and what you feel more interested in...and we have mentors for both :)

Dancer_A May 3rd, 2012 5:07 PM

probably emulation more than the competitive battling since i like just playing games for fun, but i guess if there's a spot for both sure

Piko the Pichu May 4th, 2012 5:59 PM

1) What boards are you most interested in?
Pokemon General, Spinoff Games, Pokemon Anime, Challenges

3) Would you like to venture out into other parts of the forum?

The layout of the site, boards with nice people to talk to about things I like, and other stuff like that :D

Meganium May 4th, 2012 8:42 PM

Great to see you! Toujours and Sydian seem like a good match for you since you're interested in General Pokemon discussion as well as spin-off discussion. Both are great mentors. Depending on what you feel you're interested in, I can get one of them to take you in. :)

Also, we have Hybrid Trainer for C&T (part of Technology & Media) if you're interested in that as well.

Piko the Pichu May 5th, 2012 5:08 AM

That would be awesome, which one would you recommend?

Meganium May 5th, 2012 7:00 AM

Honestly, all three are great. xD I'll go ahead and contact one of them and he/she'll be able to take you if he/she can. :D

You may want to be a bit specific on your first question. We have a lot of Pokemon boards for you to check out. What is it that you're interested in terms of Pokemon? The games? The Anime? Trading? Battling? Why not explore around the forums, and come back with your specific interest. We have mentors available for each of the Pokemon forums, so I wanted to pinpoint your interests to a suitable mentor for you.

BlazeFinneganIII May 5th, 2012 12:03 PM

Hi, I'm new to the community
 
Hello, I'm new to the forum and was looking for help with creating my own Pokemon games using ROM editors.

1) What boards are you most interested in?
Hacking and Emulators.
2) What boards are you most interested in getting to understand?
Any that can expand my knowledge on creating customized Pokemon games.
3) Would you like to venture out into other parts of the forum?
Possibly, but for right now I'm more focused on figuring out ROMs, ROM hacks and editors.
4) Are there any specific things you're looking to do while you're here?
I would love some assistance finding all of the tools necessary for customizing Pokemon ROMs, along with information on how much customization can be done for each ROM generation.

This is my first time ever using a forum as well, so it will take a little getting used to.

Meganium May 5th, 2012 12:44 PM

Single file line please! :P

Also, just a head's up guys: this thread is being renovated so expect a new thread by tonight! If I haven't gotten a response from you and this thread is locked, you may quote your post to the new thread or you can send me a PM so I can re-pinpoint your suitable mentor.

Hi there, Blaze! Why not create a new introduction thread so we can welcome you to the forums? :)

For ROM Hacking, we have both dragon456 and SwiftSign (DrFuji is not available at this time). One of them will point you to the tools you need, as well as the advice you need to complete your hack. :D

Ahh, the competitive battler! We have Forever and PlatinumDude just for that. They'll definitely convert you to the perfect battler and help you create your perfect team. You can also battle them via wifi or by our own Pokemon Online server. It's quite fun. :D

Sounds like you're on the same page as the first member I quoted. The two Emulation mentors, SwiftSign and dragon456 are available to take you around the Emulation boards. :D

chspikachu May 5th, 2012 12:57 PM

Thanks, but do i send them a private message for them to mentor me??

Meganium May 5th, 2012 1:00 PM

^Just stay put! :) I'll get PlatinumDude to take you in, since he's a good match for you. He hasn't mentored anyone (if I recall), so he'll be quite thrilled. :D

BlazeFinneganIII May 5th, 2012 1:20 PM

Thank you Meganium90, can't wait to pick someone's brain about this stuff. I've been researching it for a while but the more I find the more confusing it gets. Look forward to meeting my mentor.

Also how would one go about creating an introduction thread?

Meganium May 5th, 2012 1:33 PM

To make things easier, I'll point you to the New Thread page, which is where you'll get to make your introduction. Basically...tell us a bit about yourself (such as what brought you to sign up, your favorite Pokemon, your interests, hobbies, etc!). It doesn't have to be long, though! Of course this is optional, but I highly encourage you if you would like to be welcomed. ;3

I already contacted one of the mentors, so one of them will take you in asap. :D

BlazeFinneganIII May 5th, 2012 1:45 PM

Alright, Sweet, Thanks! Is there a way to friend someone or keep your profile in my list? You have been very helpful.

It's okay if you're not going to use the template. It's not required. Though you do have a broad area of interests, which does make me a bit difficult to pinpoint you a good mentor for you.

But since you speak Spanish, and you're just looking for a PokeFriend, I'd be honored to take you in and be your mentor.

Ah, Roleplayer! I'm a beginner roleplayer, actually. :) We have Miss Doronjo and PkMnTrainer Yellow available to take you in if you like. And we also have TwilightBlade for Trade Corner, as well as Forever for CBC (Battling) (that is, if you want to learn more about one of the boards, it's up to you. :D)

Bryson11mcc May 6th, 2012 5:35 PM

We can direct you to a mentor if you want to learn more about the 4th Generation boards and the Metal/Color boards, but not if you just need help with the games. There's a sticky thread for 4th Generation help, and GBC help. You can use those to get your questions answered about the games.

Either or, I'd recommend you to use the form from the first post to let me know of your interests in the forums. Also, why not make an introduction thread? Members would loooove to welcome you. ;3
