Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone.

I bet you didn't expect to see me. Yes, I've decided to pop back to the website to see how things go. If you have no idea who I am (of which I don't blame you, I'm a bit of a helix fossil, I use to be one of the PokeCommunity's Super Moderators, back in 2012-14 I think? Something like that. Due to me falling out of favour with the game way before that (I was the Video Game Moderator before S-Mod), I just had no motivation for the website, so I decided to do what ws best for business and step down. It was the right thing to do at the time, as I had moved to London, UK, got a new job and everything.

So, who am I? My name is Will, I'm 26 and work for Double Negative VFX. We work on Visual Effects for big films. I have my own IDMb page too, if you'd like to check out what films I've had a hand in. (CLICK ME) I'm currently a lead in the department, so I don't often have much free time, but we'll just see. I've played Pokemon from when it was released (seriously, like the same week it came out over here) up until Black and White, because it bored me.

I have set up my own Pokemon YouTube channel, which you can find in my blog, since I don't want this to be seen as advertising. So, I'm feeling pretty confident that my love for the game is back. I'm excited playing PokemonGO and I'm looking forward to Sun and Moon.

Let's see how long it lasts. Anyone want to place bets?

Woah. WOAH. Definitely wasn't expecting this. You were the mod of VG back when I first got into the section. Welcome back! For probably the day! That's my bet, $20.

We were in something of a similar boat, I'd say. I suppose I've become a fair bit jaded after how crushed I was by Pearl and didn't really get any sort of spark back until XY, despite remaining heavily cynical in regards to the game. But that's slowly changing, and I feel pretty similar about S&M and GO, so here's to the future, I suppose.

And visit VG. Seriously. It's changed a lot and often since you left, and I'm interested to see if you might enjoy it there as it currently is. And check out Art and Design/Creative Media and show those kiddies what a professional can do, yeah? When you said "big films", I definitely wasn't expecting things like Interstellar and the various Marvel movies. Yikes. You've certainly been busy since you left. Good for you, man.

But I think the most shocking thing of all of this is that your name is Will and you modded VG and I'm William and do the same. Things like that don't happen too often on PC, so clearly we were meant to get along. From young blood to older, it's good to see you back, Cap'n.

Better last a long time cause GO is awesome. :D Welcome back Will!! Just skimmed your IMDb page, I knew you worked in visual effects but I had no idea you were already so successful. That's awesome, glad you seem to be living a good life and are happy.

See you around man. <3

Welcome back to PC! I don't know you as I am a new member here but it's good to see one of the "old guard" so to speak come back to the forums. I hope you enjoy it here! Nice work on your career, that is so awesome! You're really a big deal now... do we have a celebrity in our midst? :P

Good to hear your love for Pokmon's creeping back hehe, welcome back to PC. It's awesome to hear your career's doing great too.. No idea you had worked on Interstellar's visual effects either, that's super cool probably one of my favourite movies of all time! ;v; Does anything in particular strike you about Sun & Moon as of now?

Hopefully you'll stick around a while now that you're back! See you around. :]

Thanks all for the kind words. Seems like I passed the 1 day mark... Hurray.


Does anything in particular strike you about Sun & Moon as of now?

The idea of just getting involved in a new Pokemon game and how it just looks visually pretty decent is exciting enough.
