New to the forums
Well I came here to ask for help from a few people, though I don't like to 'use' a forum without giving back in some way. I'll be around for some time I expect. Mostly reading and perhaps some replies here and there, my time seems to be rather limited these days. I do love Pokemon though! ^^
So a little about me? I'm a 21 year old male from the UK. Some people may view a 21 year old who loves pokemon as immature but you can judge that by my actions. I'm also pretty sure there will be people here much older than myself who're mature too ;) I'm really into anime too. If anyone wants me to suggest anything to watch for them or if you even have suggestions for me, I'm happy to share and talk about it! As for my Pokemon knowledge, I'm a fan of 1st gen and don't know all that much about anything after it. I did get the entire collection of Pokemon from my friend (at least everything that's out at the moment) so I do endeavor to watch some 2nd gen soon and see if I can get into it. :3 Anyway that's my introduction! Hope to see your lovely faces around the forums! |
Hi there Phelpster, welcome to PC! I sure hope you're having fun!
I remember getting into Pokemon around 1st Gen, though never played the games until 3rd Gen when I got Ruby for my 11th birthday. Been into Pokemon ever since, although I seem more attracted to newer generations for some reason. Maybe I just like the diversity better or something. If you are interested in discussing anime you'll definitely love our General Entertainment section which has some good topics. Anyways, I sure hope to see you around the rest of the forums, read the rules so you don't get into trouble or you can contact a staff member in blue, orange and red usernames. I'm looking forward to getting to know you as a member and have fun at PC! - [supporter]Hikari10[/supporter] |
Your time, whether a little or a lot, is always welcome here. Always! Even an hour or a post a day is awesomeness, there's no need to worry about that. :)
Agh yeah, that's what some people irl are viewing it nowadays. I'm almost 23 and I'm literally obsessed with Pokemon. And I still play it, but you know what? Haters gon' hate, yeah? :D There's even more members here that are much older than I am (the oldest I've seen is 38 xD) that are fans of Pokemon, and still play Pokemon. So really, there's nothing to be ashamed of here! <3 Hmm, I don't have a whole lot of suggestions for anime. I've seen Sword Art Online, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, Fruits Basket, Angel Beats, and Sailor Moon which did include the final season. Maybe you've already seen those xD I hope to see your lovely self around here as well! Have a great time and don't be shy to ask for any help ok! We love new members like you, see ya around! |
No worries indeed. I'm 22 myself and still an avid Pokemon fan. PC really is full of people around our age and older; sometimes it seems like that age group is the dominant one here. :O No one will ever judge you for loving Pokemon regardless of your age here so it's a good step forward in becoming a member. With that said, welcome to the community, Phelpster!
Awesome to hear you're looking to participate and as said, it's no worries if you can only come on every once in a while. This is a place to relax on and escape real life so whenever you feel a drive or have enough time to come online, pop on in and post around. There will always be cool new topics to participate in so things never really get stagnant. Thanks for joining us here and may you have an amazing stay. <3 |
Thanks for all the warm welcomes. It's been so long since I joined a new forum and I'm so used to welcoming others to the forums already knowing all about them that the change of roles is rather odd xD.
@Hikari I know what you mean by the diversity. I mean with so many pokemon there's got to be some you like more than others. I mean I DO like some of the newer gen pokemon (Celebi, even though I know nothing about it... I think it's a pretty cool pokemon xD) But I think that when I see/think about 1st gen, it's just very nostalgic. Takes me back to being a little kid again, off from school from being sick and the day happens to be a pokemon marathon. almost 17 hours straight watching it... Oh man. Those were the days :D @Meganium I've always been aware there are avid fans much older than me which is one reason I expected to find a number of them here. I openly admit I like pokemon in public. Being a shop manager you tend to be quite an extrovert and in my case, I just say what I feel and if someone is going to judge, let them be. No one's going to change who I am because of their opinion of me :P The Anime you listed I've seen all of them but Fruits basket and Sailor moon. Funnily enough I've recently been talking with a friend about Angel Beats and trying to decide our saddest moment. We both agreed it was Yui and Hinata's end. The story and the music just worked so well. I didn't quite cry at that one but Clannad/Clannad After Story really made me weep like a 6 year old. Damn good series! @Cirno I tend to get caught up in a lot, such as work and the tons of online projects I get myself into that take up pretty much all my free time (But in a good way. I just like to be doing something with my time and it's fun for me to get involved ^^) That I do sometimes look to unwind and like I stated in my OP, even if I'm not posting much, reading through posts lets my brain unwind and if I feel opinionated on something then I'll be pretty inclined to post. Generally I'm an observer in forums so I find I log a lot of online time though my post count generally doesn't agree xD Also just wanted to add, your name is awfully close to someone on another forum that we call Ciro (Short for Cironir) So please forgive me if I ever typo your name, but it is very much similar xP |
