Heya Lynx, welcome to PC! Can't believe I almost missed your thread.
I'm sorry you lost your gameboy; that would have devastated me if I was younger. ): But it is wonderful to hear you're playing Pokemon again - completing the 'dex and getting Pokemon to lv. 100 will take some time, so it'll be fun to play and work towards achieving those goals. You should stop by our
Trade Corner and
Battle Center sections for all things trade and battle-related. They're both popular areas of the site and seem to attract many new members so that makes it all the more easy to find people to connect with. though most of our battles are done over the Pokemon Showdown server rather than WiFi.. but I suppose it's because not all of us have our perfect teams and an actual WiFi connection (like myself, ugh).
Aha I don't think we have a lingo thread, but I'm sure you can ask in the appropriate Quick Questions thread in the section of the game you're playing! So, for example, if you have questions on Black/White 2, you'd make a post in the
BW2 Quick Questions thread. They're very useful threads so do take them to your advantage anytime. :D
Have a blast, read the rules, and you can always contact myself or the awesome
Cid if you need any help with things here!
