A big "HELLO" to all!

[McTwin113]

Hello, everyone! My name is Connor, and while I may be new to the community, I have been an avid pok?mon trainer ever since I got a GameBoy Color and Pok?mon Red for Christmas when I was very young. Now I'm 22 and working towards a PhD in medicinal chemistry, but there's nothing better than coming home from a long day and playing some Pok?mon. I'm very much looking forward to participating in the challenge forum as I love coming up with teams based upon random themes and trying them out myself. I am also SO excited for Sun and Moon to come out as I also love to "catch 'em all." I currently have 615 of the 621 available pok?mon in my Pok?mon Bank account, and I can't wait to collect even more. Looking forward to interacting with all of you! ^^

Hullo Connor! Welcome to Pok?Community! 615 Pok?mon is an awesome accomplishment, how long did that take you?! I've never really spent much time collecting or trying to fill out a National Dex, so I really have no clue how difficult it is or how long it takes haha. Maybe check out the Trade Corner section to collect the few that remain?

Anyways, have fun here! Good luck on the completion of the Dex, and feel free to VM me if you'd like to chat, k?

Fantastic you're hyped lots for Sun & Moon and that your Pok?mon collecting's going good! Welcome to the Pok?Community, Connor. B) Awesome that you've stuck to the series for so long, which starter was your first in Red, if you can recall? And what's your favourite Pok?mon?
Darn cool you're working towards a PhD in medicinal chemistry! Your avatar kinda relates to that too haha, pretty neat 8] Hope all goes well with your studies and such!

Have fun here on PC and don't hesitate to send me any VMs if you'd like a chat! Be sure to poke around the forum when you can as there's plenty to do here, and have a good day ?

Oh, it took me quite a while! I'm a major completionist when it comes to video games, and some time after Diamond/Pearl came out, I made it my mission to collect all of the pokémon. I'm pretty sure my copy of Diamond has over 300 hours logged into it, but it was definitely worth it as I was only missing Shaymin and Arceus by the time Black/White came out. Then I just continued the mission into each new generation! Luckily, they've been running the 20th anniversary events every month, so it won't be too long until I have all of the pokémon (until Sun/Moon are released, that is). Thanks for the well-wishes! ^_^

I'm almost certain that I chose Charmander because it has been my favorite Gen I starter for as long as I can remember. However, Mudkip is my favorite pokémon, hands down. I was actually debating between my current avatar and an adorable one of Mudkip, but I thought the scientist sprite would be a bit more unique, haha. I'll be sure to look around the forum for other threads that interest me!

Thank you both for the warm welcome! :)
