Making my PokéCommunity debut!
 
Hello everyone!

I'd like to formally introduce myself as Pretty Wing, although if you'd like you're free to call me Austy, my nickname. Admittedly I've been a lurker for the past few weeks, but until last Friday I was too busy with college finals that I never got the chance to post. I'm an avid Pokémon fan (who isn't? Hah), who has spent about 60% of my days since February theorising everything under the sun in regards to Gen VII, keke.

I have a huge affinity towards cute Pokémon; Celebi, Jumpluff, Blissey and Deerling probably being my favourites from all the generations thus far. Grass, Normal, Bug and I guess now Fairy types usually take my bias. Water and Psychic types are fab too. Justice for Luvdisc!

I'm not much of a competitive battler, choosing aesthetics over power. Although I do often partake in online battles, I don't mind that I often lose for this reason. I love every one of my Pokémon, and it makes a victory all the more worth it!

One important thing to note is that I dislike a gender being placed upon me; please refer to me as they/them, although it's a not a huge offence to me at all if you should forget! I'd also like to extend my gratitude to the PokéCommunity staff for making "Other" an easy accessibility, it's something simple that is often overlooked.

Looking forward to delving into Sun and Moon with everyone over the next few months,

Austy ❤

Hey Austy, nice to meet you too!

I did catch you around the Sun & Moon section, so I'm definitely not surprised in the slightest that you are in massive hype mode for the games. Anyways, which starter are you planning to choose when you get the games? I'm personally going for Popplio, because I feel bad for all the hate he's getting and I always stay loyal to the Water starters, especially because they mainly impressed me in the evolution department.

I'm not a competitive player either, so I can understand you there. Archy has got other basics covered so for now good luck and I hope to keep up with you again soon.

You made the right choice, let me tell you. PC is an amazing place. There's just, so many things to do for a Pokemon fan. The Sun and Moon hype is as high as can be, right? I'm pretty sure that you have a lot of theories and expectations for the game, like everybody else. I personally don't check the leaks and stuff much since, I won't get the games for now. But I just hope they are great!

I'm a competitive person, but I can understand that. Personally, I use the storyline for screwing around with my favorite Pokemons. Then use Showdown for serious battling, perfect balance for me. If you ever need anything here, or you just feel like chatting with somebody. I'm more than open for a new message! good luck with everything here, hope you enjoy your stay! :)

Thank you for the warm welcome! I've been aware of PC for many years but felt now was the perfect time to start posting. I often enjoy watching my partner play Showdown, he's more of the competitive one between us. Perhaps you may have battled, haha. (He always uses a Shuckle.) I'll certainly message you if I need any advice!

Hi Hikamaru! I'm incredibly hyped for Sun and Moon, so much so I had to stop myself from letting it get in the way of my exams, hehe. I think so far I'm 80% set on Rowlet. I love owls, and Grass types! Poor Popplio is getting the cold shoulder a bit right? I do like him a lot, he's a cutie, but I think Rowlet just has that slight advantage over Popplio and Litten. I'd say it goes Rowlet > Popplio = Litten for me at the moment! Very excited to see their evolutions!

Hey Austy (Nice name btw)! Glad you like Rowlet too (Even though I will pick Litten).

Anyways, welcome to PC! I hope you enjoy your stay here and see ya!

Gosh, Popplio getting the hate in this thread, eh? Now I must fight for the Popplio Defence Squad!

Or I could just say welcome. Welcome! I must say, between the head turn and the bow tie, Rowlet has totally grown on me, and I think his evolutions could be really cool. Popplio is still the one I'll be picking though. Well then, hopefully us newbies can be friends then! :)
