Why hello there, Ryan! Welcome to PC! It's nice to have you here and we're really excited to see you and hear from you around the forum! I've also been a Pokemon fan ever since I first got my first Pokemon game, it was way back when I was 5 or 6 years old, so it's 10 years from now, wow, imagine how long I've been a fan of the series! :3 .. I also have been following the whole anime ever since, although I need to catch up to the whole BW series! I didn't also regret getting myself into the whole thing, because of it, I got more challenged to every challenges in my life, I look at it at that way when I was a child! I look upon myself as a Pokemon trainer, and my Pokemons are those that I am studying like Math, English and such! I'm weird and crazy but that totally helped! :)
About PC, well there's nothing more I could say aside from the fact that it's a fun place to be, you could participate on discussions, make friends, join challenges, events & contests and a lot more! It would be really an awesome experience if you could explore the forum yourself, that's what I did and because of that I am really hooked up to PC, and I'm loving this place much much more. <3; So just click on to whatever topic or thing catches your attention. And before anything else, make sure to read the rules if you still haven't. You don't want to get yourself into troubles, eh?
Come to me if you have any questions, but it would also be great if you could ask those that know PC more than me - the staff members! Other than that, have fun here! ^__^
