Hi, Dipu! It's been 3000 years since I last saw you and you can't recognize my me since I changed my name for like 234224 times already. Lol

And to answer the question: Nowadays I come here for the sake of my trade shop and its section, the rest only get 1% of my attention due to a busy life I'm leading. Ya know the thing that we call 'the adult life'? XD

I like Pokemon! As good a reason as any, right? :D

Really though, I don't have much of a social life due to my living situation so when my sister discovered this place in 2012, I thought hey, why don't I join up as well? It certainly didn't hurt. I made some amazing friends and memories here. <3
I forget how emotions dance when they aren't inside of me
I forget how the sun feels when she isn't around me
And my dreams become sweeter when something is missing
I'm in love with the hunt itself
It makes me feel alive

Cause the Slateport City forums went down the drain and I need something to do when I'm bored.
And SPPf stopped being fun 5 years ago.

Apparently I already made an account here years ago but I just forgot.

It's an escape, someplace to go to when I'm feeling alone or down. Here in the past month or two I've been trying to be more social irl so I've kind of not been as active on PC, and then here especially this past month since I've got into a relationship I've been even more inactive to the point of not even logging in some days since I spend all of my time with her. But days like today and yesterday, when she's not around and I'm off of work it's nice to have someplace to come to where I know I won't be bothering people by posting, chatting or just minding my own business and reading through things. It's just a safe place I guess, where I can be alone without really being alone. I know some people here so it's not just me in a sea of strangers, but it's also not like I'm literally surrounded by a sea of people just trying to be lazy or do whatever yknow?
Such an accusatory topic title...

Anyways, I used to ask myself this a lot, although not so much these days, despite the fact that I spend so much time on Discord and if I left the forum I'd be able to stay in touch with most people I speak to. But recently I've done a lot of stuff on PC, and I'm enjoying myself more than I used to. It's...fun. Don't really need a reason other than that.

Being here also gives me something to do when I'm bored. xD

I'm at the same page as Signomi. I grew up with PC and it's practically the forum which I grew up to be the human being I am today. Although in the past few months I've had scuffles with a few good friends, starting over is always an option, and seeing that there is a brand new generation of PCers around, I'd also love to see that new generation grow.

Pokemon is also another reason why. Sun and Moon are coming soon, and I joined this forum when Black and White were barely coming to the US. It's freaking amazing at how far I've come.

I just wanted to revisit the forum I grew up with. I've been lurking on and off for a number of years but lately I've felt better doing a bit of posting too.

Well, you girls pretty much summed up my reasons for being on PC.

Still, I was away from PC for so long, I missed the place and wanted to see the place that welcomed me back in 2007 when we just got Wi-Fi for our Nintendo DS, no longer limiting the people we can interact to, Pokémon-wise (Battles and Trades). Being alone all my life, it really was a huge change for me, as now the world was a massive playground, waiting to be interacted with.

And now, 9 years after that, I stilll feel the same way; about this place, and about Pokémon itself. Thank you for everything, PokéCommunity... and thank you to the Pokémon Franchise as well! :D

I'm here because I never expected the people here to be nice and funny enough to keep me coming back day after day. PC is one of my staple websites now, and has become one of my most beloved internet homes. And well, I love Pokemon more than anything in life! :D

Dipu, dafak have you been, boi? D:

Anyway, to answer your question; I still have a passing interest in Pokemon, even if it's just picking up and playing the original games every so often. I was pleased when I heard Red, Blue and Yellow were being re-released for the 20th anniversary, the Gen I saw somewhat of a mini-revival.

Other than that, the community has definitely kept me coming back. It's such a tightly-knight and welcoming atmosphere here, not something all that common on most internet forums these days.

You know, that's a good question. I'm not very active nor do I have a lot of friends I talk to on here. I'm very shy and introverted. I also have very awkward social skills that make me very random. I feel like it's my past that makes me return. The fact that PC has always been with me and shaped me into the person you see today. It's helped me learn the hard way that not everyone is my best friend. I've been here since 2004, and it's just hard to not be part of this amazing community.

Because Slateport City closed in November, so I had nowhere to go. Thus I came back here.

Er I think I found it when looking for pokemon forums. And then found this when I was like.. 12. And viola, cringe ensues.
