Same way as like 2/3rds of the forum; looking to download Shiny Gold :D Well actually it wasn't Shiny Gold, but another hack which name I can't remember, but the fact is, I signed up to download a hack :p I honestly can't remember the exact details of how I ended up here, since I'm pretty sure the hack was available for download somewhere else, but PC is pretty much the hub for everything ROM hacking, so I probably would've discovered at one point or another.

Anyways, I signed up so that I could download the game, and then left again, and didn't return until a few months later where I'd gotten into actually hacking the games myself. Took a while before I got out to explore the rest of the forum, but I'm happy I did!

It was either late 7th grade or early 8th grade when I first found out about PC from a friend that went on the site. He told me about some hack that he was planning on making, and he'd asked for my help (even though I knew nothing about hacking or ROM making or whatever it's called). I joined under the name Bloodex, but somewhere within a week, I'd forgotten that I'd signed up. So I went and signed up a second time, but for some reason, I didn't want to use Bloodex. Rather, I went ahead with the username Bloodex-fire (it's a long story), and since then, I stayed on PC. We never even got started on the ROM, and my friend left PC shortly afterwards, but I stuck around. And I'm glad that I did. =D
he did it, not me.

My story's very similar to Dipu's- my cousin and I wanted to start working on a Pokemon hack, and saw that PC was the best place to discuss and learn about making one. I decided the best thing to do would be to sign up, which I did under my old account. Nothing really happened with the hack, but fast forward two years and we decided to have another go, and we both decided to sign up that time. The hack basically went nowhere, and my cousin left not long after. I remained semi-active for the next year or two, but now here I am today.

I found it when I was looking for Pokemon hacks like Ruby Destiny series, Shiny Gold and stuff, several years ago. However, it takes years before I decided to join PC, and I finally signed up near my birthday last year.

Ah, it was a beautiful sunny day in 2011 and I decided to Google Ruby and Sapphire remakes to see if there was any news on their development (or if they were at all a possibility)

The first option that popped up was PokeCommunity, and I've been here ever since.

Still no word on those remakes though.

It was late 2009 when I was a junior in high school, one night after stemming ze tide of paper after paper after paper in an attempt to catch up with my homework I managed to find the time to try and look up some stuff online. One thing in particular interested me as I heard rumors of a Pokémon Colosseum manga made way back when and I rushed feverishly to find these scans online. Granted my search ended in failure but I discovered this place in the process so I didn't consider my mission to be a total failure now as I managed to make a few good friends on here and find some sections that I still lurk on to this day.

I found it while google searching for a place to talk about pokemon. Recently created a youtube which I soon plan to start making LP's for and having an audiance and people to communicate with while I'm playing pokemon only makes the game more enjoyable. So I signed up here and so far it's pretty cool

I was looking for a pokemon MMO or news of one being created (completely out of boredom). I found this site, and looked at the game development section. Though I seemed to have diverged drastically from there, and now-a-days I don't think I would care much for a pokemon MMO.
I'll probably remember this place forever

My story is about as special as a red gyarados. 'ω' Back in 09 I was just diving into the fanbase of Pokémon (heck, just diving into the internet), and not too long I ran into Ruby Destiny on youtube. After a few google searches, I arrived here :3 This was actually my first account anywhere, so PC forums is technically like my home on the WWW.
What did you expect from me?

Google most likely. I was 12 at the time and joined every single Pokemon forum I could find.

I found it through some spanish pokemon hacking site called Wack a Hack or some **** like that. It had links to hacks on this site. Don't ask me how I could read spanish back then, I don't ****in know. Apparently 15 year old me was smarter than 20 year old me.

I had heard of PC about a million and half times on another Pokemon forum I'm on and decided to finally join up as my secondary forum, if you will. I don't come around too often but I have to admit that it's a very nice forum, especially since it's so big!

I simply just went on Google and searched "Pokemon forums" and it was the first results. I was looking for another place to meet people who loved Pokemon.

I originally joined Serebii as my first forum, and the manga section there was lacking. They said PokeCommunity had manga scans. I was also told that there were more fan fic reviewers here, so I came here. Those two forums were my original PC homes, both of which are gone now, since Pokemon Manga is gone and Pokemon Fan Fiction was merged into one whole fan fiction forum later on. Yeah, I know. I'm old. I get it. lol
