Well, I came across this site back in 2009.
I heard something about the hack Pokemon Shiny Gold so I googled it to check it out and I found the thread to that hack on PokeCommunity.
However, it wasn't until this year that I started to frecuent PokeCommunity more and more and now, I'm starting to participate!

A few weeks ago, I was watching one of Drayano's Poison Monotype vids, and found someone who was doing an Ultimate Monotype on Poison in Black 2, and I found a link to this site.

That's how I found out about it and joined from there. :P

I'm another person who discovered this place while looking for ROM hacks.

It's the reason I originally made my account.

Until I got into the community aspect of things.
What would I like to see in the future? A few things, actually.
1) A trio of ROM hacks [gen1, gen2, gen3] that, aside from the generation, are pretty much identical: You start in Kanto and post-elite four you travel through Johto as it would have been "3 years ago".
2) A demake of Heart Gold / Soul Silver. Possibly using Fire Red as a base.
3) An official Pokémon game, following the standard "gotta catch 'em all" format, but aimed more at the older players.

I was on a vacation wth my family and I was bored, and had randomly re-started playing Pokemon. I decided to look for a good RPing site for that, and ended up on PokeCommunity.

Now here's the shocker: the real reason I decided to join is because I joined on April Fool's day, where everyone was disguised as a Pokemon. I thought that was really neat, and thought I would have to become part of the community. By the end of the day, I was a little disappointed that it was temporary but I stuck to the site, and here I am!

I miss my Pc, and wish I was using it right now. But if I was using it, I never would've found this website. Hmm...

I don't remember the fine details but it started with me thinking "geez I'm bored, I could sure talk to some more people". But I got bored after school rather quickly and I had finished reading/playing/doing almost everything with any object in my house. So I was running out of ideas and I did one of those typical "what to do when you're bored" searches and one of the suggestions was online forums. So the first interest that came to mind was Pokemon, I typed it in the search bar and the rest is history. I browsed Serebii and Bulbagarden but they didn't seem as interesting. And I suppose that's how I got here. :p

I originally came here when I searched for zel's hack, Shiny Gold. I thought it a cool place, but I didn't really think any fruit in registering. Two months later, I came here once again remembering this as a place with ROM Hacks around, so thus I made an account just to download hacks. Another two months later, I got around ROM Hacking myself, so I came here again.

Glad to say I've evolved from that point now.
But this isn't a place I could have stumbled upon on account of my raving habit of playing violent video games tucked in at home. I suppose Pokémon is credited to making me sane.

I can't remember, but I know I made an account to download ShinyGold. I want to say I found out about ShinyGold while casually browsing YouTube video suggestions, found out you could play ShinyGold, came here, found out you had to have an account to download the game, and made an account.

I Google searched "Pokémon forum" and it seemed like the friendliest choice from the top search results, exciting story right? I was looking for somewhere to discuss Pokémon since no one I knew in real life was really into it (which turned out not to be the case, but that's a story for another thread) so I came across PC and decided to join. I'd assume this answer is the same for most people though haha.
