Hi!
What a road here 😂 So way back in the day of Red/Blue/Yellow and the intro of the TCG in the US, I was really into the franchise (manga, anime, anything cute and/or collectible), than sort of fell out of it by the time Silver came around. (I played Silver, but was so not into it that apparently I didn't finish the story line nor remember like...any of the pokemon from the generation.)
A million years later, I met my SO and some of their friends who are very, very into the franchise (think subtle pokemon references at the wedding). I enjoyed them enjoying it, but it's never a topic I instigated. Well, New Pokemon Snap came out, and SO saw a perfect opportunity because they'd never played Snap and I adored it, so they bought the game as soon as it came out. Doooown the rabbit hole we went, with a lot of AHHHHH on my part because there are so many new cute things. Hot on its heels came BDSP, another perfect storm of nostalgia for a bunch of friends that I then got swept into, and now I'm...here. I'm curious about what the community looks like outside of my bubble and, of course, in need of trades (or just other people to give things to, because I fell into the breeding hole and hate just dumping boxes of 5 IVs into the nether). Thanks for having me! I don't really have any pockets of wisdom to share because I'm so new to this, but I'm happy to help when I can. |
Aw, what a cute story!! Welcome to the community Harakka!
I think we’ve all been down the Pokémon rabbit hole here, drank the coolaid, and asked for seconds lol. So you’re among good people! Definitely make sure to check out the Trade Corner to get yourself started on that front. It might even be worth it to open your own shop if you have a mess of 5IV competitive ‘Mons to go around! :) Best of luck and happy posting! |
Ah hey guys, i am new here, i just think that is a really great way to remember my childhood and the amazing memories that i had

From Silver to BDSP =o
There's probably quite a bit to familiarize yourself with then with that big a leap. Since you seem to have 5 IV mons I take it you're into the Battle Tower or Competitive? Did you try to complete your dexes or did you not bother? |

Though now I'm seeing the shinies in your signature and I'm like...oh no, do I need to try to make some shiny eevees too? 😱 |

Both ways can take a really long time. I'm doing shiny breeding myself (because I can breed them in special balls =3) and Eevee takes pretty long to hatch, even with a Flame Body mon, so to keep my sanity I'm shiny breeding them at intervals xD I'm not done yet either rofl, still need to breed a shiny eevee for a shiny leafeon and umbreon @[email protected] You could always try and go for only shiny hunting your favorite of the eeveelutions ;) |
Welcome Harakka! Glad to have you :D

I can perfectly understand ofc if that's not for everyone! 'Twas merely a suggestion hehe, you're welcome to stay on just the forums for as long as you wish. I will say that it's wayy calmer here~ |

Like Roni says, the Discord can be fun, but also really really fast. The forums are a nice medium where one can find specific conversations one wants to be part of - and also look good while talking, since we can edit our post styles as you probably can see from the members here in this thread :D it's nice to express oneself~ Hope you've settled in well! |
