I have been a big Pokemon fan since I was about 9 and started collecting cards. When I turned 10, my mom bought me a Gameboy color and a Blue version and I was hooked! (Though Yellow Version was always my favorite.) I had t-shirts, toys, plushies, movies, action figures, pencil cases.. you name it. I loved it until Gold and Silver, and after that ended I kind of died out.

I am now much older, and yet, I'm still so excited to see Heart Gold and Soul Silver coming out! I love the original Pokemon games for gameboy, and the 250 has always been the last batch of Pokemon I have enjoyed entirely. But, I am wanting to buy a DS for the new release of the revamped G&S, and am starting to pull towards wanting to buy Diamond or Pearl, too.

I do have to say that I miss the 90's cartoon and the cards from time to time. (I still have said cards and a few VHS laying around here!) I even have a gigantic Pikachu plushie in my room, and some pikachu light up key chain on my keys.. I miss the little guy.

I decided to join a community and finally talk about my love for Pokemon since a lot of people don't really understand why an 'adult' would love to play a 'child' game. Pokemon was also the first RPG game that I loved, and I wouldn't trade it for the world! It was pretty much my life for a good 2 or 3 years, and I still remember my first 3 packs of cards had Riachu as the holographic in every one. I still have one of those, too. It's good memories and special for me.

So, hi to everyone! And I suppose that was my little introduction about my Pokemon shpill.

I love seeing myself an introduction with some actual effort in it, welcome to PC, Raichu!
Be sure you read the rules before you wander off in this lovely community, so we don't have to send call in officer Jenny.

I'm sure you'll love it here, youll find just about every pokemon conversation imaginable, so jump on in and offer your two cents to the discussions. The more the merrier! :D

Oh, I wouldn't want that to happen! Rules have been read. :]
Aww... but I make such a pretty Officer Jenny. >:

Haha, I think we're all looking forward to the remakes with great anticipation. I'm terribly impatient and imported Heart Gold myself, but hey, I always make an effort to buy one the versions in English. Nothing brings back nostalgia quite like that old dialogue. Priceless.

Oh, and no one understands your interest in Pokémon more than the members around here do, my man. A good number of us are adults like yourself, so we've all been in the same situation. It's just so addictive... age has nothing to do with it. :D

Hope you have an awesome stay, Raichu. Hit me up if you have any questions, as I'm always more than happy to help.

:D Thank you for the welcome! It definitely feels good to be here already. And I don't think March can come quick enough for me. I haven't been anxious for a new Pokemon anything in years. But, it'll be great to relive the game again!

Yay for twins and clones! hehe :]

I looooved that episode. I remember the VHS came out and I could never find a copy, but it was the one I wanted most. T_T And it was really epic, that one.

Thanks for the welcome! It seems really nice around here. ^^

Welcome to PC!
I understand how you feel! And I was the same way about Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. But I finally broke down and bought them, and I really like them. But they are much different than the originals that's for sure. I can't want for HG/SS either. I plan on getting HG once it comes out XD But, since you are like me, and mainly and old school gamer, you can talk about the games here. As for HG/SS, there is also a thread, located here.

I hope you enjoy your stay here, and don't hesitate to drop me a VM on my profile, or a PM!

Remember the way I was, for me.

This exactly. Been pretty passive since G/S as well. I think 250 is the magic # for PKMN. And I am really looking forward to the re-releases as well.

Welcome to the community though, and thanks for actually posting an introduction worth reading :D

Thank you for the welcome! I am a old school gamer, but I really think I would like to try one of the newer versions of the games (even if they are much different!). And thanks for the links, I will definitely check out those parts of the forums. =)

Thank you, too, for the welcome into the community. ^_^

Yay for G&S! I loved how many new features were on it versus B,Y,R. I can't wait to really see how the graphics are on the DS since they'll be less 90's-ish and more nowadays.
