Hey guys this is my introduction post. I have lurked on here for a while though.
I have Alolan in my name but my first game was Red, which I got as a kid with a GB color, then Gold and Silver (lost them all...). Then I got a GBA SP with Ruby and Sapphire and bought Blue and that was about it for like 12 years. I would replay occasionally but didn't really keep up with the other gens until I saw the trailer for Sun&Moon. Honestly the thing that caught my attention was the ethnic diversity and the tropical setting (I'm a Caribbean guy myself) and also I learned that the 2DS was pretty affordable so I thought why not? I got X while I waited for gen 7 and going from gen 3 to gen 6 was such a dramatic change (I was hooked!). Since then, I've gotten W, W2, AS and S (plus VC R&Y), so I've played every region/gen except Sinnoh.
The news today about Ultra SM got me moderately excited but the VC release of GS is what got my hyped! I figured since this is a Pokemon day might as well make an account here. Good to meet you all!

Hey! It seemed like you're one of those fans who began with Gen 1. eh? Me, I started with Gold.

What can you say about the new trailer on Ultra-Sun and Ultra-Moon? Join us in our discussion on our Pokemon Ultra-Sun and Ultra-Moon section.

See you around!

Hey there friend, welcome to PC! It's nice to see players return to Pokemon after being gone for years, especially with that that Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon hype. You should share some of that hype over in the brand new Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon section. How come you haven't played a Sinnoh game yet? :< They're really good games I'd go back to check out!

I'll be seeing you around!

Heya and welcome to PC! I also started wayyy back when with Red/Blue versions. Crystal is one my absolute favorite games and I really do hope they re-make it for the virtual console. Without a doubt it'd do well. Congrats on getting a 2DS as well, really glad you're enjoying the titles. If you decide to play any Sinnoh game, Platinum is the way to go. The improved story really makes the game worth it. Do you have any thoughts on Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon? If you have any questions just ask~

Thanks for the welcome guys. I never played Sinnoh because I couldn't find as cheap a copy as the other ones (I did buy a gen 5-7 games within the span of a few months!) and I was kind of thinking/hoping that GameFreak would be making the remakes on 3DS. Guess I'll have to find platinum now. It's exciting to be part of a community because my experiences playing havent been that social apart from when I was a kid. I legit never had a pokemon that evolves by trade because I never traded

Hiya, welcome to PC! I'm sorry to hear that you lost your original copy of Gold / Silver but on the bright side, at least the G/S e-shop is coming out? I was very excited when I heard the news as well. :D Also it's awesome to see how you got back into the series because of S/M. I've always liked that S/M was set in a tropical setting too, it made the game really relaxing and pleasant. It must have been such a big jump from Gen 3 to Gen 6 though. I remember thinking that the jump from Gen 3 to 4 was huge and that was only 1 generation. :') I can't imagine what it must have felt like for you though I'm glad to hear that you loved X. Anyway I hope you have a great time here! Feel free to shoot me a VM if you'd like to chat.
