"You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance."
 
Hello everyone,

I'm new to the community and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a self proclaimed Pokemon veteran who started out with the original US release of the Red and Blue versions and also a fighting game enthusiast. I look forward to getting to know everyone and of course, trading and battling. I've only recently got back into playing the series (I own both Y and Omega Ruby) and I had no idea how complex this game has become. It's all about IVs, EVs, and hidden abilities but the complexity just adds to the fun.

This community is incredibly nice and I can't wait to become a part of it. :)

Welcome to PC Caine! Glad to see you're still into Pokemon after all these years! I too have been playing since the beginning, and picked it back up after the release of X&Y.

I, too, love the complexity of the game. I think it makes it fun for the older players. I don't think it's such a children's game anymore. Once you get yourself settled and ready for trading and battling, the Trade Corner and Battling & Team Building forums might peak your interest. Our trading section is super active, so I don't think you'll have trouble finding trades.

If you'd like to talk, don't be afraid to drop me a message, I don't bite, I promise! If you need help, don't hesitate to ask around, I'm sure there are loads of people who are willing to help you out. Enjoy our wonderful community!

Welcome to PC buddy, I am new myself and I also started playing pokemon (from gen 1 but only got my own pokemon game gen 2). I play both hacked/modded and original clean/retail versions as well, maybe one day we can battle/play? (Don't have gen 6 but will pick it up when my foot is better)

Thank you all for such a warm welcome!

Sounds good, I look forward to playing with you and I hope you have a speedy recovery. :)

Competitive can be tricky! but it's really fun once that you get the trick behind it, I started to play one year ago on the competitive scene, and it's really fun. I love the OU tier, but UU is lots of fun too. We have a Battling & Team Building and a Trade Corner for all your trading needs!

I wish you luck with here, and if you ever need anything, feel free to ask me! cheers :)

Yes, it seems very tricky. I've never played a turn based video game competitively and there's so much to learn about this game that it's kind of an overload of information. I'll be looking into it though, it's something that I'd really like to get into.

The Street Fighter called me here Well, I'm not the first, but let me welcome you as well to PokeCommunity, Caine; I've been playing Pokemon since Crystal, but the first game I've actually owned was Ruby. Archer already mentioned the battling sub-forums, however there are also Pokemon General sub-forums just to talk about it all if you want, as well as casual forums for entertainment and regular real talk. All in all, I hope you can find every interest of yours here and stay long enough to really become part of the community.

Ah good that you're taking the time to introduce yourself; name's Dragon! Nice to meet you! And it's great to meet another veteran of the games; I've been playing since Pokemon Blue and Red myself, with Yellow actually being my first game, then coming into Blue. Great to see that you're coming back into the games though~ <33

But yeah, the series does seem to have more and complicated mechanics, but it's fun to learn in my opinion, and I think the series will only do even better from here! I'm just waiting for that one pokemon game to have it all and maybe we can be set for life! Anyway, I'm glad that you're taking a shine to the community, and I hope to talk with you more soon! If you have any questions about the forum feel free to see me! See you soon~ c:

Hi Caine! Awesome to meet you, welcome. <3

Yeah.. Pokémon has expanded a lot but it's pretty easy to get a grasp on the IV and EV mechanics. They've made it much easier to breed good 'mons so it's something pretty much everyone can get into now. Definitely adds to the fun! I do a lot of post-game breeding.

Hope you'll have a good time here, fellow long-time fan, and hopefully we'll continue running into each other. Let the staff know if you ever need assistance. ^^
