No thank you. We appreciate properly capitalized statements much more than that.


...I'm kidding. Welcome to the forums, Cole! You know you can make your own introduction thread. There you can describe yourself and get properly introduced to the community. Maybe the people who decide to welcome you will give great advice in getting around here, in case you're feeling intimidated or you don't know what to do. Have fun around these parts!

Oh yeah. Our Pokémon-centric sections will be great for you. There are lots of other great places to check out, though! That is, in case you have other interests you wanna talk about, since this forum also has a really good variety of topics that are not related to the Pokémon franchise but are as interesting.

Oh and since you don't have an introduction thread of your own yet, I also suggest you make one! I hope you enjoy this place too, Mark.

Hey everybody!! New guy here!!

Meganium May 29th, 2012 7:26 PM

Welcome, welcome, welcome everyone! I've been *quite* busy irl today so I'm just gonna say WELCOME to the members that just joined/just posted here while I was out. :D As Cid mentioned, if you haven't done an introduction thread (make a new thread in this section about yourself) you should totally do so. :D That way myself, Snivy, and other members here can welcome you personally. :)

Be sure you visit the Adoption Center if you'd like someone to give you a tour of a certain section of the community, read the rules, and see ya around! :D

We still have a discussion topic going on here rn if you like to answer! What was the first Pokemon game you played & How old were you?

First Pokémon game I played would be my older sister's Pokémon Yellow. She let me play a few times and I just walk around and smile while watching the Pikachu follow the character. But the first game I actually beat and had more memories of was Pokémon Gold. But since my brother still had Blue then I proceeded to beat Pokémon Blue afterward. The tradition of beating one of the paired versions and its third version just stuck afterwards. :P

I vaguely remember my age when I played Gold but I think it would be about six years old, around the year 2001, I think. I was exposed to the anime much earlier. Looking back, I'm pretty impressed that I didn't just stick with my starter like a childhood friend of mine did (with his Charizard, a hyper-beamin' Raticate, and a few underleveled tag-alongs). I actually had fun with it, caught as many fun-looking Pokémon as I can and kept them at the same level. I remember being really fond of my Sandslash back in Gold (I liked Blastoise from Blue way more, though).

- - -

And before I forget!

Guys, you can post more than once here (but don't double post)! That's the beauty of this place. It allows casual chat. You can discuss the topics people bring up when they come, and share interests with both old and new users alike. Sure, VMs give you that and in a limited way, introduction threads do too, but this place allows more participation, in my opinion. Plus if people make on-topic posts that interest you then, you can react to those, too. So that the conversation moves forward.

Megan already mentioned it but I'm decidedly echoing her. The Adoption Center's a really good place to start. With a personal mentor helping you around, you'll easily feel more involved in the community especially within the specific sections of your interest.

Just make sure you adequately fill out the first post's form.
Look at the first post itself, before you proceed with your mentor request.

I'm glad you came here, Gliese. Again, welcome to PC! Since you brought it up in your intro thread, I have to say that astronomy is one of the best fields of science there is. It's about time human civilization went ahead and reached for the stars. Astronomy also largely involves physics, which I at least enjoy studying, personally.

Also, maybe you can add your sentiments on the current topic? ;D

Seiren May 29th, 2012 10:03 PM

Well, this is the third thing to do on my checklist (first thing was post an intro thread, second was try and get a mentor) so...here I am, another new member in a long line of them, adrift in the wide open sea of PC...and that was a terrible metaphor, maybe you should all just ignore me. xD

I'll save the overwhelming detail for my profile (my next thing to do, before I start browsing those sections recommended to me in my intro thread) but, suffice it to say, I'm open to any questions people might have of me...well, just don't ask me what I think of controversial issues; I don't want to start any heated debates with people quite yet. xD

pilyongprinxipe May 30th, 2012 7:13 AM

Hi guys! I'm new here! I just love pokemon and I really wants to play it over and over again!! :)
I'm always online checking new updates!
If you want someone to talk to, I'm always here! :D
We're unbeatable!! Pokemon!! :))

MisKatelyn420 May 30th, 2012 8:36 AM

Hellloo I just signed up today and I'm looking for someone to trade with ^.^

SandyX May 30th, 2012 10:03 AM

Hope I'm doing this right...Hello, I just registered and looking forward to meeting other members.
P.S. Crobat is my favorite

droomph May 30th, 2012 10:32 AM

Well Croby says hi! I'm sure we'll love to have you here.

So what else about Pokémon do you like?

Well, hi! I hope you find someone to trade with soon!

Check this out! It's perfect for you. But don't make a thread requesting if you don't have at least 30 or more Pokémon...I don't want you to break any of the rules, so stop by the Quick Trade Thread first!

I'm sure you'll have a great time! We love people like you to be around. It's always nice to have a new friend to have around, isn't it?

Yes...Pokémon General or Pokémon Gaming Central is probably the best forum for you...also, you should check out Other Chat and Discussions.

Well hope to see you around soon!

Sounds like you're all ready to go!

Have you checked out Other Chat and Discussions yet? I'm sure once you get ready, you'll be a lively debater in the many topics we have.

Hope to see you around soon!

Meganium May 30th, 2012 1:33 PM

Welcome everyone! I see Cid and Droomph got you covered in a few things so there's no need for me to do so. :D But I am always around for questions though! ^_^

Hmm let's see. Intro thread? Check. Requested a mentor? Check. Post here in this awesome thread? Check. Explore other areas of the forum? I see you're working on that! xD

You must be a writer based on your post. xD As droomph mentioned, the Other Chat & Discussions section has some heated debates for you to participate. Trust me, none are flame worthy lol xD Enjoy it here and welcome aboard!

Anki Haru May 30th, 2012 6:19 PM

I just join today, I hope I can make at least one friend here and make others who share my love of Pokemon, Yorochiku Onegaishimasu.

Hikamaru May 30th, 2012 6:20 PM

Hi Anki Haru, I am Hikari.

I am mysterious and some call me the Trainer of a top percentage Oshawott.

So, how are you enjoying this very large place where Trainers gather?

adrianyogi May 30th, 2012 6:21 PM

Hi! I joined today! Sup everyone?
I suck a competitive battle. I actually just raise my pokemon my style. Don't use strategies. Just go with what I like (And 4 offensive moves xD)

Hikamaru May 30th, 2012 6:24 PM

Hi Adrian, even though you technically joined 2 years ago you are still considered new cos you haven't posted much yet.

You will need at least 15 posts before you can post links and pictures.

I can only hope so...I suppose I'll know pretty quick if I make a mistake though. xD

I was just browsing there, actually. Truth be told, I'm not much of a debater...I just have a lot of opinions, and a fondness for expressing them. But I do try to keep an open mind to things~

Did I miss anything? xD

Well, I wouldn't call myself a writer persay...I try, though. I feel really bad if I write single sentence posts, or extremely short posts; I feel like I'm spamming, even if it's acceptable and everyone else is doing it. xD

TwilightSkye May 31st, 2012 8:03 AM

*Walks in* I did not do it! I did not! Oh hi Mark.

Anyway I'm new nice to meet you all. :) Is it me or is the view count on threads broken. I looked at my thread of saying Hi to everyone and it had 85 views but no replies in like 30 mins. lol

droomph May 31st, 2012 8:11 AM

Oh yeah, there are a lot of lurkers.

:| Some people just seem to not want to post.

Well, hi then! I hope Hikari gets on soon, I'm sure she will love to talk to you.

Oh my! A talking sub! Awesome!

droomph May 31st, 2012 8:20 AM

Yeah, I went with a molecule for a while but even PC was like gtfo nurd.

Whatever. Y'all just mad.

Okay yeah. Don't think I'm being stalkerish but where do you live? Just curious.

TwilightSkye May 31st, 2012 8:22 AM

I remember playing pokemon diamond when I was about 7 or 8

I remember my first pokemon ever.A turtwig

I remember all the moments I had (like using a master ball on a chansey and not capturing dialga).Catching every pokemon I saw and deafeating the whole game just with turtwig

Lol I love Starbucks. you're right as long as there's Starbucks it's all good xD

Oryx May 31st, 2012 9:16 AM

Starbucks is amazing! I have one in the student center on my college campus and I go there so much <3 Mocha frappucinos!!!

Meganium May 31st, 2012 11:09 AM

Speaking of starbucks, I am actually in one right now! xD There's like, a bazillion in every corner here in San Diego. So I conveniently visit each and every one of them for the iced teas and the java chip frappe's :3

So tempted to rename this thread "The New User's Coffee Shop". xD
