Welcome back, Prof.! ^^ I did not know you before back then, since I've only joined prior to 2010-2011, but, it's nice to meet you~!
I've pre-ordered Pokemon X myself, but I do plan on getting Pokemon Y as well, because, I don't want to miss out on each version exclusives, you know? Speaking of which, if you haven't saw already, there is indeed a new
Pokemon X and Pokemon Y board where you can freely speculate about the games~ There's a lot of interesting topics there, so, feel free to discuss. ^^
But yeah, it's always nice to see another person who's into competitive battling~ I'm into competitive battling myself! I have been for about 7 years, but yeah, it's still fun. :3 In any case, yeah, I do hope you'll stick around a lot longer this time!
And cheers for fun times for you ahead~ :)
