Melbourne fan of Sufjan, Pokemon and plain chips saying hello
 
Hi there everyone. I am 25 years old and I live in Melbourne, Australia.

My username is taken from a beautiful Sufjan Stevens song entitled "Futile Devices", from the album The Age of Adz.

I am also a massive Pokemon fan and have been for many years. Pokemon Yellow was my first game and I then played Silver, but dropped off after that. Started to get a bit older, playing Pokemon was perceived as being lame.

Couple years ago I started getting back into it through emulators and roms on my Macbook and iPhone, and I think I've played most generations. I had to stop at Black 2, I think, because the emulator kept crashing, and then stopped because there is (or at least wasn't last I checked) a working 3DS emulator.

But for Christmas last year my girlfriend bought me a 3DS and Pokemon Y, proving she really is the best. So I've been playing that! I just became Champion and finished the stupid Looker Bureau mission and am now a little bit lost. I join up because I've got some questions to ask about some features on the 3DS/Pokemon XY before I buy Pokemon Red on the eShop and then get one of OR/AS, as I haven't played it. Hella excited about Sun & Moon too.

I've also got back into the anime recently. Watched the whole first season over again, holy shit do Team Rocket get annoying, which is why I have loved the Black & White anime so much, because they have a different role (and Axew and Iris are so cute). My girlfriend has been watching the XYZ anime and I've gotten really into that as well (Dedenne omg).

So yeah, that's me in a nutshell. Looking forward to finding my way around!

Hi and welcome to PC! We have many Australians here, pretty sure I know someone from Melbourne even. Yellow was my first game too <3 so many great memories. At least you got back into it, I never did haha. The games, at least. I like the franchise as a whole.

I'm guessing you'll hang out in the Pokemon Anime and Pokemon Generations forums then? If you ever get bored, there's loads of non-pokemon stuff to do here too, like just chilling out and chatting with the rest of the community (:

Also, you like Sufjan Stevens? :D I used to listen to them but it's been quite a while now... But I'll Spotify them again since you reminded me! Hope to see you around~

Haha thanks man, where are you from/based? More than happy to shoot the breeze, the forum that I have been a member of for 10+ years is slowly dying off. But not this one.

And yes, I love Sufjan Stevens. I think most of his work is available on Spotify. Much like the Sun Kil Moon that I am listening to right now, it is depressing, but real.

See you round, man.

I'm in Sweden! And 26 years old, so we're the same gen of old school pokemon players d:

Oh what forum was that? Nah on PC we're so terrified of this place dying that we keep inventing new stuff and focusing on customization and whatnot to try to keep it relevant and fun or something such haha.

Sun kil Moon you say; you're really getting into the Sun & Moon mood aren't you ;p
