Hey, ChristonianCoder!
Welcome to PC!
That's cool that you're into programming! Do you take classes for it? & yes, you've come to the right place if you love Pokémon! :]
Squirtle and Turtwig are awesome starters! I personally favor Squirtle over Turtwig just because it was one of the originals, but Turtwig is also cool. xD Haha, you're one of the first people who mention that their favorite generation is generation IV! I love, love, love the Sinnoh region and I don't know why it's so underrated! The starters of that generation are awesome, too! I agree with you that I didn't like the fifth generation compared to all the rest, but nonetheless, they are a part of the series so there isn't much we can do at this point. We have Pokémon X & Y being released this October for the 3DS, so I do hope you stick around for that! I'm sure we'll see something cool and different about it seeing as they are the first games to actually be made for the 3DS console.
Apart from programming, what are some of your other hobbies/interests? We can help accommodate you better if we knew. :p But, from reading your main post, maybe the
technology & Internet forum will spark an interest in you. If you're into coding and stuff, PC also has its very well-known
emulation and
game development forums! :p
Anyways, PC has a very nice community and I'm sure you'll fit in right away. :)
If you ever have any questions or would just like to chat, don't hesitate to leave a visitor's message on my profile! x)
See you around!
