Here To Collect Them All
 
Easy Everyone!

My Pokémon journey began by filling up my merlin sticker album way back in 1999/2000. Then I had a brief period of time collecting trading cards before that craze died out in my area. At the time I also really enjoyed the first movie but I found the series pretty boring.

It was during a family holiday to Spain where my parents bought me a Game Boy colour which came with a cartridge featuring a hacked Pokémon Gold and around fifty other games. This game wasn't out in the UK yet so when I got back home it felt like I was ahead of everyone for the first time ever. Best of all someone else at school had a hacked Silver version and we became great friends. Unfortunately since generation two playing Pokémon has been a pretty lonely journey since that friend moved onto other games and we grew apart even further when I became more involved in the online world.

Roll on 2015 I bought myself a Nintendo 3DS XL for the sole purpose of playing Y but I wasn't too fond of that game. However I fell back in love with the series when I played Alpha Sapphire for the first time!

I've joined PokéCommunity because I want to complete my Pokédex for the first time ever. I'm currently on 550 so about 200 to go?

I also want to make the most out of Sun and Moon by hopefully enjoying it with lots of new friends!

That's pretty insane! I got into Pokémon around 1999 with R/B so I considered myself an early fan too but you were way ahead haha. Welcome, Gold! Good to hear you're getting back in the swing of things, ORAS are awesome and so were XY even if you weren't a big fan of the latter.

Be sure to utilize the trade forums here and good luck completing your dex. [:

Thanks for the warm welcome Sheep!

At least you got to play R/B when they first came out. I had to watch them on other peoples Game Boys.

Please note these weren't 50 Pokémon games haha! They were just random GBC/GB Games that I totally ignored in favor of playing Gold. Irony is whilst I was way ahead back then, I'm way behind now with the introduction of IV's, Nuzlocke and the intense focus on shiny Pokémon,

It just felt like X/Y catered for the younger generation rather than our generation and I see that with a lot of long term franchises. I've never been a big fan of marvel comics but I appreciate what they've done with the movies. On the other hand I feel that ORAS is pure nostalgia and the best of this franchise so far.

Currently on 561 with my AS PokéDex so I'll be onto the trade section once I feel that I can't catch anymore. It is becoming increasingly difficult!

Thanks for the pointers CJoE

Filling up a PokéDex can be taxing but fun at the end of it all. I'm spending tonight in Lilycove City hoping to hook a staryu with my super rod!
