    Hi all! I'm a long time player but this is my first time on a (Poké-themed) forum. I've started hyperfocusing on the games again, so I figured I should join a community so I could chat with people about it.

    I'm 26 and I've been playing since I got my copy of Red when I was 10 in 1998. I had to take a break after 2nd gen, though, because I didn't have a GBA or DS - but I've since gotten a DSLite and 3DS, so I'm back in the game! I'm currently playing a Spanish Omega Ruby, poking at a German Y, finishing off end game on Alpha Sapphire and using my X version for breeding and building a living Dex.

    Outside of Pokémon, I'm a language nerd and animal lover. I have a cat of my own, Reid, who is just amazing for my anxiety. I'm gonna be the crazy cat lady for a moment and call him my furbaby. I like to write and read, though I wish I had more stamina for reading nowadays - too many years of English classes and ADHD.

    Anyway, I love to chat, so just give me a poke!
     
    Ah, hello long time fan of pokemon! I'm a long time fan myself; been playing ever since I was 5 with pokemon Yellow and Blue! Glad that you're back in the pokemon gaming; the new games are certainly a delight to play, and I myself am always excited for the new pokemon games in store for the future, ohoho~

    Welcome to the forums! I have a bunny and two cats myself! Well one cat is on my mom's house, but yeah! I usually like to write on occasion, and just for fun too. Do you write stuff like short stories, and fanfiction? We have a Writing and Fanfiction board if you would like to jump right in to discuss and participate in the writing stuff going on there! <33

    I'd love to chat with you sometime, and you're more than welcome to give me a poke too! If you have any questions about PC, don't hesitate on asking me too! Or any other staff member that you see. But yes, gave a good time, and have a beautiful day!~
     
    Welcome, Hecate! Glad to hear that you're enjoying Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, they truly are great games. <3 My cat also helps with my anxiety. Feel free to shoot me a message if you ever want, and I hope to see you around! ^^
     
    Hey Hectate, welcome :)

    Saw you hanging around the IRC earlier, and just wanted to stop by, if you remembered seeing me :P

    Hope you enjoy it around PC and always remember that if you have questions about anything to not hesitate and ask anyone on staff :3
     
    Kitties. 8D You have good taste. I have four cats right now, the girl cat had kittens last month so that brought our total from two to four aah. Looking to give them away though since I don't think I can handle more than two. That aside, welcome to the forum, Hecs! Happy to have you here. <3 What languages do you speak? I'm fluent in English and Russian, know minor French, and would like to pick up Japanese in the near future.
     
    hi, Hecate! that's such a cool name. welcome to PC!
    it's great that you have such diverse interests! apart from being a Pokémon fan, like most of us, i'm sure PC will be a great place for you to develop other interests as well - for example, with regard to writing, there is of course the aforementioned Fanfiction and Writing board, but there's also the Roleplay Corner (where i'm more active personally (｡ ＞艸＜) ) so i hope to see you around!

    i'm also a language nut, although i don't speak too many languages myself yet - only Dutch, English, and conversational Japanese, but i really want to take up German, French, and maybe Spanish at some point too. i hope you have a great time at the forums here, and feel free to hit me up if you need anything or just like to chat c:
     
    Hey Hecate, here's a hello from a fellow newbie here at PC :)

    How nice to see all these language fanatics, and to see that there will be even more, now, with you in the fray. I, too, like learning languages, although I tend to eventually mix them up -- especially when talking IRL. I just want to say I love how you're playing Pokémon in multiple language: it's something I do to. Just one question: do you also mix their names up, or do you know every translation of one? I really have difficulties remembering all their non-English names, although I'm playing Omega Ruby in French now. It really sucks when I've got to find something on the GTS -- hope you haven't encountered this problem!

    Also, do I understand correctly that you haven't played any of the Gen IV-games (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heart Gold and/or Soul Silver)? I'm not saying you should, but I can heartily recommend any of them! (Then again, I am a bit of a fanboy.. So my opinion might not be completely objective *cough*notevenclose*cough*)

    I hope you'll enjoy PC as much as I have done these last days!
     
    Oh. My. God.
    So I've been waiting for notifications, and never got any - and so I went to check on other newbies, and lo and behold, REPLIES. I'm so sorry guys!!

    @Robin: Never had a bunny, but I hear they make great pets! Mostly I do RP nowadays, but I used to write fanfiction - some of it is kind of embarrassing now, but there's a chance with 80 fics to my name, you've read one. I was Kurai Himitsu on FF.net. Never wrote for Pokémon though. I might try my hand at it, maybe!

    @AquaMarine8: Cats are wonderful, aren't they? Hope to see you around too!!

    @Tsutarja: Hmm, I don't remember seeing you, but hi!! I'm lousy with names sometimes, and a tad forgetful. So far PC is pretty cool!

    @Archer99: Yay! Language nerds! We should make a club - maybe one to try and get a complete dex in all languages, since if you get a pokémon from another language game, it fills in that language's dex entry. That's a shame! No, yo vivo en Estados Unidos. If you wanna chat with me, feel free! I'd actually love to learn Argentine Spanish!

    @Sheep: Why thank you! I wish I could have more kitties, but my boyfriend is rather adamant (he's allergic, so that's fair). I speak English and Swedish, and know some German, Spanish, and Japanese but not enough to really chat - and I know survival Finnish from the 2½ years I lived in Turku, Finland. I'm trying to focus on German and Spanish right now. :3

    @Pokemonman151: They got us young!

    @なぎ: Hehehe, thank you! I might come asking about how to start with that RP board! It's massively different from my usual RP board, but sounds fun! MOAR LANGUAGE NERDS! Yay! I feel like we're usually such a minority!

    @November Lima: Oh dear! I used to mix up my languages more often when I lived in Finland. Since I rarely speak anything but English in my hometown in the US, it doesn't happen much anymore. I can recognize most of their names, unless it's been a while! It helps that the Spanish version doesn't really change the names, like...ever. German is a bit harder, but I just sorta. . .memorize them passively. I haven't hunted anything on GTS on German Y, yet, but now I'm dreading it a bit. XD

    I actually have played the Gen 4 games! I'm about to beat the Elite 4 on Platinum. Full list of my games is Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Ruby, FireRed, Platinum, SoulSilver, Black, White2, X, Y, Omega, Alpha. :3 I made up for lost time. I also have Conquest, both Pinballs, two of the Ranger games. . .and a few others.

    I'm certainly enjoying it so far!! Sorry it took so long to reply!
