How did you come to be the owner of the PC?

I purchased it from the previous owner when he left the site, in late 2018! I won't get into details of that situation or talk about what the site cost but it was definitely a being in the right place at the right time kind of situation. =)

What's your favorite sheep-like Pokemon?

fjjssjjsf how do I pick, probably Mareep because it's the first and so cute.. wooloo's rolls are A+ but nothing is cuter than Mareep's big poofy wool

What made you join PC? How has the site changed over time?

I joined originally for ROM hacks (like Shiny Gold), then a little later on I got more involved in the art side and posted some art in the Art Studio. From a period of about 2007-2011 I left and mostly kept to other non-forum websites like YouTube, but came back after. It's changed quite a bit since then - people have come and gone, and like a lot of other forums there used to be a fair bit of drama back in the day haha. People are much more kind and accepting nowadays. We've had a lot of forums be opened and then closed, or closed and then reopened, so the layout's shifted a bit.

By far the biggest change is how much less stress and bureaucracy there is in making decisions nowadays. I love how the community and staff are more relaxed now; it's so much easier to work with. As much as I loved the times when forums were at their peak, I'm not sure I'd feel happy going back to that time because of the immense stress certain situations back then caused me.

1. Are there any changes or additions you'd want to see in Dawntrail?
2. What are some changes you'd want to see with WHM and BRD?

oh god
1. Better inventory organization. I hate having things all in one inventory area and wish I could have them categorized.
2. Shared character storage
3. More glamour set slots
4. Being able to craft without needing to take materials away from retainer storage - please!!
5. Pass/Greed All option for dungeon loot
6. Not having to get off a mount when interacting with NPCs
7. Attacking an enemy automatically dismounts you, instead of you having to manually dismount and then being able to attack
8. Viera hats
9. Make gear that can only be equipped on certain classes equippable on all of them, for glamour

I'm going to pass on answering the WHM and BRD questions because I actually like the state they're both in now and can't come up with anything apparently?? @_@

Baa?

baaaaa

Do you have a favourite UR/dream card?
What's been one of your favourite things about living in Australia?

1. HHW probably, and Kokoro as the favorite. Pasupare is a close second. My #1 character has always been Chisato though!

2. Fufu... Rikako probably, it was surprising when she tried to play piano and not something I expected her to take the time to do. T_T This Reddit post has a summary but she is just so sweet.

3. This was the original UR card I fell in love with and spent money to get. Still my dream card and I love it so much.

Spoiler:

4. A lot of things! Mostly healthcare being more affordable than back in the US (medications are price controlled here and it's a godsend), a lot of nice nature nearby, good air quality, a lot of cute birds (I love birds). Definitely a good place to live. Except for the crazy sun lol.

What is your favorite aspect (change, function, alteration, thing, I'm not sure of the exact word to phrase this question properly lol) of the new site?

What is your favourite thing about forums?

 

[Crystal Berry]

Do you miss the old days of Pokemon forums?

Are there any people you befriended many many years back who sort of disappeared who you dearly miss?

Are there any features PC used to have that you would bring back if you could?

What is your opinion of Scarlet/Violet? Are Pokemon games losing quality?

I hope these are fun questions c:

Totally missed this one, oops!

This is probably a super minor opinion, but I love how much better the PMs are. You can invite people, edit your PM messages, react to messages etc. It's such a huge improvement and is just really fluid and nice to use. Also, editing posts with quotes in them doesn't notify the quoted user a second time - a godsend. And mentions?! Absolutely amazing. Hard to pick just one haha.

What is your favourite thing about forums?

How it's not immediate/not as fast-paced. I can look back on my old content really easily, meanwhile on a live chat program things would get lost because of the faster pace of it. There is so much history on forums and that can never really be replicated on a place like Discord. As much as I like Discord, nothing will ever really replace forums for me.

I hope these are fun questions c:

1) I do! I used to join a bunch of random forums that looked interesting back in the day. A lot of them aren't around anymore, most likely. v_v Some others are, but they're barely hanging on and that makes me very sad.

2) @Cid @Nihilego missin' you both, hope you're well!!

3) The "Post as staff" would be great to have again. Not sure when we can bring it back, but that was such a unique feature when we needed to make announcements. Obviously not useful for members but for the staff we really found it handy to have. I'd also say Badges but those will be coming back in the future already, so not much reason for me to miss it when I know it'll return. (b' ')b

4) SV - great game when it comes to the final bits of the story. Think that was my favorite series conclusion and overall story idea ever - which says a lot considering my love for BW. I still get goosebumps listening to that final battle track. This alone makes it a good game for me, but sadly the performance really takes it down a few steps. So when performance is considered quality definitely seems like it's getting worse over time, but I still think the staff have some amazing ideas when it comes to story and Pokémon designs.

Thank you for the interesting questions. <3
