Oh, hey! Long time fan of the series as well? That's cool; I've been playing ever since the Pokemon Yellow and Blue days myself, which the series have been pretty fun ever since then!
Sorry to hear about the other forums you've joined. But, I do think that Pokecommunity is the board for you, as we're always quite active, and we always love chatting about Pokemon. So, feel free to be as active as you like! We're not going anywhere for quite along time!
I hope to chat with you later! Have a great time!
