We're happy to have you onboard, welcome to the PokeCommunity, Fire! You can really learn a lot about fan games here, we have loads of resources and people who can help you learn and build future games. You can find all that over in the
Fan Games section! Also yeah, the origin of Pokemon can be interesting in such times, like when they're based off real animals or lifeforms. Anyways, I really hope you enjoy our community and what it can offer, I also recommend you explore some of the areas outside fan games. Enjoy! :D
