Hi everyone, another newbie here! I'm not sure how to make myself more approachable but I am friendly and tactful, if that helps. ^^;

Oh and I'm a huge Lilligant fan, she's so cute! :D

Olli July 15th, 2012 8:46 AM

Welcome to the forum dude. You guys should totally start making threads too xD
Well being approachable walks hand in hand with being friendly, so I don't think you'll have any trouble with that :D

I can't help but feel like we need something to talk about, sooo... What aspects of the franchise do you guys like?

Tetrakeet July 15th, 2012 10:00 AM

Thank you for the welcome! :)

Well I'm still new to the whole Pokemon world, but so far my favorite part of it all is the different types of monsters to see and collect. It's always fun to be surprised by a new type of Pokemon and even more awesome to find one that I really like. ^^

SSJ4Ash July 15th, 2012 4:03 PM

Hey.
 
Hi I'm SSJ4Ash. I'm a fan of lots of things, pokemon, digimon, DBZ, generaly most anime, (except the poke cartoon, games are better) anywho I looked at some tutorials on here a few years ago. Decided to join know. Looking forward to my time here!

Meganium July 16th, 2012 6:13 AM

Welcome to those of you that I haven't said hi! How's everyone on this fine, fine, morning? To introduce myself a bit, I'm Meganium and I'm here to make sure every new member is doing fine. :) I'm always up for any questions or concerns, so shoot me a PM or a VM, ok!

Everyone here is a fan of Pokemon, including myself...being all OBSESSED and stuff. :3

Also, a reminder to you all that this thread will be renewed later! Don't know when but expect a fresh new one! Yay!

Tetrakeet July 16th, 2012 9:51 AM

Nice to meet you Megan! Your positive attitude is actually what inspired me to join up here in first place. It's nice to see mods that have fun and interact with communities as well as keep them in order. ^^ I'm doing fine so far, although a bit overwhelmed with all of the different areas, I'm not sure where to dive into yet. The Pokemon General area is my favorite so far though. :)

Harmonious Fusion July 16th, 2012 10:34 AM

Hey! You can call me Harmony. I've been playing Pokemon ever since Yellow came out in the US. It was my first video game ever, and I really only bought it because I wanted to see what was so special about this Pokemon thing. Of course, I got hooked, both on Pokemon and video games in general. Besides Pokemon, I also like Yume Nikki and similar games, Minecraft, and Ar tonelico.

My favorite things about Pokemon are collecting, and the creatures themselves. In particular, I collect shinies, and I hope to eventually have as complete of a shiny living dex as I can without cheating.

Oh wow! I'm...flattered. *blushes*

The forums can be very, very confusing at first, but I'm here if you need help! There's also the Adoption Center if you like to check that out (that is, if you haven't signed up & stuff!).

Pokemon General...really great section, actually! There's a ton of Pokemon-related topics to discuss as well as interesting ones as well. :D

Hey there, Harmonious Fusion. Why not make an introduction so we can welcome you personally? It's a great way to show yourself and get settled? :)

I remember Yellow so well...I named my Pikachu "Shock" after the move "Thundershock". I feel like playing it again, but right now I need to reorganize my schedule xD

Tetrakeet July 16th, 2012 4:31 PM

I think maybe my intro was too long winded, it didn't get much attention. ^^; I was thinking about the Adoption program, but I'm a little short on questions at the moment.

And wow Megan, big change to your profile! I am already missing that cool animation of Serperior. :( The frolicking Kitty is cute though. ^^ I still need an avatar and sig myself... eheh..

Hi Harmony, how are you enjoying PC so far?

I am Hikari and I have been a Pokemon fan since the series came to Australia.

Pokemon Yellow has so much nostalgia, Pikachu is such an icon.

Anyway, I hope to see you sometime and make some friends if you can!

Meganium July 16th, 2012 5:54 PM

That's even better! Makes me think that you are doing so well atm. <3

Yeah.. that theme was a weekender and I went ahead and changed to an even simpler theme. I'm going to join a Super Smash Bros Brawl collaboration in about a week or so, so I can't wait for that. :D I'm one of those mods that like...changes their avatar and sig every 1-2 days. haha

Well, there's endless possibilities! What do you like rn? Maybe I can find a suitable avatar/sig. Even PC has a gallery of avatars for you to choose.

Oy, you forgot about Ozzy's cake shop! How could you Megan

Anywho he can make you a pretty avvy/sig for you, it's very basic but he makes them very pretty <3 so go check it out, mmkays?

And also! Theme picking 101: think of a word, and find or make pictures according to that word. For example, I though "food", and I came up with my croissant and sub avvy/sig. I thought of "derp", and found Piderman and Baman on Google Images :P so go find a picture! In addition to all the fun here, it's a lot of fun just to find some pictures for your avvy/sig!

Sooooo howsyall doin

Tetrakeet July 16th, 2012 7:57 PM

@Megan: Hehe, that's true. This forum has a nice cozy feeling, especially the Leafeon/Glaceon layout, I love it!

I managed to whip myself up an avatar of my beloved Lilligant. <3 I still need an idea for a signature image though, I'll ponder on that a bit next. ^^ For now it's just text. I like poetry so I made a teensy poem about my favorite Pokemon, can you guess who it's about? XD

Ah Super Smash Bros, I loved all of the games! I'm looking forward to the new one (there is a Wii U one coming, right?).

--

@droomph: I don't want to bother anyone with sig requests though. ^^; I also like to make my own, so that I can improve my Photoshop skill, plus it feels more personal if I make one myself. :D

Not for a while, but it exists.

lunarthief July 18th, 2012 9:19 AM

Hi im new and im mostly joining because I have no friends on pokemon yet and I need to finish my national pokedex.

Meeptasm July 18th, 2012 10:18 AM

Hai, everyone! X3 I'm Meeptasm, but you can call me Meep! I would post my intro all over again, but I believe that my official introduction thread is all I need... also, I don't know if it would get me in trouble with the fuzz or not...
<.<
Did they hear me call them that...? I hope not...
>w>
I guess I'm safe, then... for now... ANYWAY... If you can hop on over to the "Meep It Up!" thread on the Intro board, you'll find out what you need to know about me! In conclusion, it's to meet everyone on this thread, and I feel we'll become meeptastic friends in the future! Meep it up! X3

Tetrakeet July 18th, 2012 11:02 AM

Hey there Lunar and Meep, the combined cuteness in your avatars is record breaking! I LOVE Vulpix it's one of my faves. :)

Where did you get the "meep" idea from in your speech pattern? Meep meep! See you around.

Meganium July 18th, 2012 11:18 AM

I've heard of that word Meep before. I got it from SwiftSign. xD I don't know what it means and googling it now would make me look weird tbh. :(

And I actually have a Vulpix plushie as well! It's sitting next to my comp on my desk rn. <3 It's such an adorable Pokemon, but I adore Ninetales a lot more though.

Welcome aboard Meeptasm and Lunarthief! Both of you are going to like it here. :)

Meeptasm July 18th, 2012 11:44 AM

Hey, Tetra! To start this friendship off... do you mind if I call you "Tetrie"? It sounds so much cuter than plain old "Tetra" in my opinion, which would match you're already tooth-achingly sweet avatar! X3

And to answer your question of how I was blessed by the word "Meep", let me just quote myself from a VM I posted on the wall of the friend that posted the first VM on MY wall! X3

"To be honest, I have no idea. At that time, I had no idea that "meep" was a popular word at the time, so I thought I was the first one to ever come up with it... at least, in my school I was the first. XP
Anyway, I was just sitting in class, learning about the "finer points" of Texas History, when I just felt like I needed to create an outburst, and, without thinking,.. "Meep!" After that, it kind of stuck on me. Everyone in my school started to associate me with that word, calling me nicknames like "Meepster" and "Meep Man", and honestly, I loved those names so much it just made "meep" a permanent vocabulary word in my life. Even in public around total strangers, I blurt out "meep" from time to time, just because I feel like it. :P"

And there you have it, my own "Meep" story, exactly how it happened word for word! Next, if you all want, I can give you the very entertaining story of how I got my username. X3

Cyclone July 18th, 2012 2:02 PM

Meeptasm: I bet it is because you say Meep all the time that someone said that you has meeptasm, hence the nickname? ;)

And FTR, no, you may not refer to me as "Cycie". I'm male. :P

Cyclone

Meeptasm July 18th, 2012 2:07 PM

Duly noted, Cyclone. And the story behind the name is actually MUCH more interesting that just that!

Hikamaru July 18th, 2012 2:14 PM

Hi Meep, I am Hikari.

How are you enjoying PC so far? The community is very friendly!

Well, I'll see you around.

Meeptasm July 18th, 2012 2:17 PM

Hello, Hikari! My first question for you is... Why are you mad as hell? O-o

Also, I agree. Everyone I've talked to so far has been very nice and welcoming!

It's a joke, I'm just being funny.

I love memes and loads of hilarious stuff.

I love hanging out in Pokemon Trivia & Other Trivia, you should check them out cos I'm really good at that stuff.

Meeptasm July 18th, 2012 2:22 PM

Very well. I shall visit there in the near future! X3
