Hiii! 2001 is a pretty good year to start pokemon in - around the time when Pokemon Gold and Silver came out! Which was really amazingggg. Ah, and welcome to the forums! Great meeting you!
If you have any questions about how to customize your profile, all you need to do is ask! We have some amazing profile customizes on here, so, they will gladly provide some tips and tricks! In any case, this being your 4th forum, I hope that you'll find everything here to your liking! I haven't been on any of those forums you mentioned, but, I'd say that PC is a humble place where you can freely interact with fellow pokemon fans, who are nice and friendly enough to speak with you and become friends! :]
So, have yourself a great stay, and enjoy posting around the forums, yes? Give a staff member a message anytime you have a question or two about the forums in general, and we'll respond as soon as possible! Take care, and be seeing you! I hope you'll stay with us. <33
PS. Team flare was pretty cool! :3
