Thank you very much for the intro, Cirno. I have been here before, and I was very impressed by how nice this place was.
As for the reason for joining, I have come to a point in my pokemon career where I don't get much thrill from playing the games anymore. Sure, they're fun and all, but they're getting old. I would like to be able to find some other fans to talk to about the subject, and to give discussion about X and Y, which I am thoroughly anticipating.
Other than that, I am a member of the fanfiction community, and I would like to find some people here who write and maybe do something fun with that.
Thank you very much also for pointing me in the right directions with questions. I will certainly direct all worries to the QQandA thread :D
