Hi,

I've been a Pokémon fan for about half my life now (and Pokémon red in the UK was my first game, so maybe you can guess my age? :P)

I've played at least one game from all the gens to date, but I'm currently playing Diamond, which I'm loving. However I'm completely new to Internet forums and I'm hoping people will be kind.

A very sad thing happened to me recently - I wonder if you've had a similar experience? I was playing Diamond when I stumbled across a blue Ponyta. I was so thrilled and excited - I'd already decided to have a Ponyta in my team, so this was going to be great. I did have a Psyduck up front but I told myself if I stick to Scratch, nothing bad can happen (lol).

Well, guess what - it did! I took it down well into the yellow region and was just about to throw some balls at it, when I got a little too cocky, thought "oh, it's certainly got enough HP to take another scratch, that'll put it down into the red zone and I won't waste any Pokéballs that way". Well technically I was right but I didn't account for the critical hit which chose to manifest itself right then.

My beautiful blue Ponyta was gone forever. Damn.

Anyway, now I've shared my story, I'd love to hear some of yours!

Hum xx

Welcome fellow English member !
I am Renpuu !

I began playing Pokemon Blue on the original Game boy and got my first ever theme deck on a similar time frame !

I have not had a bad experience of catching shiny Pokemon and knocking them out by mistake. I've recently starting playing Pokemon White and I'm finding that to be a lot of fun ! Go Tepig !
I remember playing Yellow and being like "YES I get all three starters woo !"
Originally I really liked Charizard since he was like a super cool looking fire breathing dragon of doom. However over the years I grew to like Gengar the most due to being the original ghost Pokemon. Gengar is really cool in the anime and always up to mischief, not to mention Gengar is a very cool Pokemon to use in competitive battling !

Currently I am more active in the Pokemon TCG section,welcome section and the general section of the forum.
Enjoy your stay and it is rude to ask a lady's age =p !

Welcome to the Pokecommunity Forums, LadyHum! I see that you are an avid pokemon fan since of age...8? Pokemon Red was also in fact my very first pokemon game I've had and played. I still have it now and will not sell my cartidge no matter what. Since you're currently playing Diamond version, you'll love our Fourth Generation Game forum in the General Pokemon Gaming Discussion section. So check it out and share your stories of the blue ponyta encounter! Now speaking of that you're not alone when it comes to finding such rarities. We have quiet a number of users whom had similar experiences like you had, so no fret!.

Here's something for you to remember, PC is probably going to be the most friendliest Forum site you've ever are going to experience and we have tons of friendly and also crazy users whom you'll be great friends with, so please stay and have fun! :D

One last thing, be sure to read the Forum RULES before you go and start posting alrighty?

LASTLY, if you need any help with anything or have questions just look for the BOLD BLUE USERNAMES and they'll be more than happy to help you out and answer you questions! :)

If you ever need to talk I'm just a VM/PM away. :3

Have fun and happy posting away!

LATIOS AND LATIAS omg. As for your age... umm, early 20s? :3 /fingers crossed, that's how old I am, haha! Welcomee and pleasure to meet you~

No worries, you'll run into a lot of great people here who would love to have you around. Forums are always a wonderful way to meet other fans and connect with people around the globe. I got super hooked on Pokemon around the time Diamond and Pearl came out in Japan - that was when I started following the news in Japan since they got the games many months before the US/UK/Australia. And boy did it make me anxious.. I ended up ordering a Japanese copy of Pearl even though I couldn't read the language. ;~; Well, it was a purchase well worth it!

Ahh I'm so sorry about your Ponyta. D: I know of a lot of people who experienced the same thing so you're not alone at all. Can't say it's ever happened to me but.. I did restart my Platinum since I was so desperate to try a new game and completely forgot about all the shinies I collected being there. Still sad about that to this day. If you're playing D/P, maybe you should stop by the Fourth Gen. Games section and discuss about 'em there? The regulars would love more members joining them in the discussion, I'm sure.

Have a wonderful time here and hope to see you around. <33

Awww thanks for your kind words, guys! It's most appreciated.

Yep, most of you are right, early 20s it is - completely amazing how the time flies by - I realised pokemon was something special but I had no idea just how massive it would become.

Twihiki_Amias, that's a helpful welcome, thanks =) I get that PM means private message, but what does VM mean? Is there anyway to tag people in posts so I can be sure they'll see it, even if I want it to be public.

Runpuu, you posted on my profile / wall (still learning the terminology), which was great, but how would I return the favour? Also do you believe the rumour that Gengar is the ghost of Clefairy? I'm not sure but I think it's a pretty cool story.

Cirno, I'm amazed you managed to play your first pokemon game in a foreign language, that must have taken some skills! Must have been great when you first played an English one lol. Thanks for the greeting :)

If anyone else is able to answer my few questions, please do, I don't know how often people check back or whether there are notifications set or anything :)

This is all pretty exciting though

Yes time flys. Meet my friend Time Wizard !
Spoiler:


He can rewind and fast foward time and he's small, compact and easy to carry around !

If you would like to reply to my message, just click on my username and it will take you to my profile/wall ! There you can spam me with funny messages or friendly greetings !

I don't believe Clefairy is related to Gengar. Maybe they could be arch enemies or something =p. I believe most Ghost Pokemon are when Pokemon pass away and become ghosts !
Maybe the tombed ones....are actually Pokemon that were buried with an ancient pharaoh and then came to live inside his/her tomb !
I usually check the forum everyday as often as possible =p !
If you have any more questions you can personal message myself or Cirno (OH FLUFFY ONE !)

Hi TheLadyHum, and welcome!

I have to say, I have run into a few shinies during my Pokemon playing experience. First one I ever found was a Duskull back when I was playing Ruby, you should have seen my face when I saw this odd red Duskull, caught her only to find out she was Shiny. Congrats on that Shiny Ponyta, hope you raise it into a Rapidash eventually.

Nice to see another fan aged in their 20's, we have several of them here. I've been a fan since I was 7, so a bit longer than you. I am a big 5th Generation fangirl, as hinted by my profile mainly consisting of black/white/grey colors. If you want to know what VM stands for, it's Visitor Message and they're messages posted directly on users' profiles.

Call me Hikari, and if you need anything just VM me or a mod for help. Looking forward to meeting you!
