Pokecommunists is actually quite hilarious, omg. xD; Buut I'd prefer to just be called a PC-er or something like that, aha. Anyway, weeelcome to the forum yes!
Yeah, the forum is quite well-known for its wonderful hacks and a relatively large chunk of members find out about this place because of that (myself included - thank you Shiny Gold). Making them does seem really difficult, though... but probably does get much easier if you've been doing it for a while. I used to have a friend who created an Emerald hack and he would always say how it wasn't as difficult as it seemed. So the light at the end of the tunnel is always there. :D Games with challenges are pretty cool too, though admittedly I've played a few hacks that were just
too difficult, lol. Had to constantly look up walkthroughs.
Oh, are you on our official
Pokemon Showdown server? You should totally join if not, the Battle Centers regulars are great and they frequently hold fun tournaments you can enter. It's a great thing that has been attracting a fair few number of newbies lately. What's your favorite tier? I find myself to really enjoy Randbats, personally, though NU is awesome too. <3;
Enjoy your stay on PC and see you around!
