Hey there, welcome to PC Pwnguin! Great to meet you. :D
Aww, you've never played Pokemon? Any plans to try? It's actually really fun and hooks a lot of people, regardless of age. I've been into Pokemon since I was 8 and can definitely say it's an awesome franchise. But either way, we also do have a good chunk of off-topic boards and you'll probably enjoy them; they're pretty popular. Some of our members never really post in the Pokemon sections and instead just explore around the off-topic sections of the site so you'll probably fit in just fine. You can join some clubs, play trivia, debate, talk about video games/TV shows/anime, and... yeah. A whole bunch to do on here and your friend made a good choice referring you to PC. Just remember to read the forum rules, of course, as well as the section-specific rules located in each board. They're not hard to understand at all!
And hey, I actually played Minecraft a bit, but not much. Seen a ton of videos on it though and have browsed the official forums looking for mods before, so that's cool. It's just not that fun by yourself and I don't have my own account to multiplayer with other people. :( But the videos are super fun to watch! Are you a modder for the game or anything, or do you just enjoy posting around there?
Enjoy your stay here though Pwnguin, and may you have an awesome time on PC! If you need anything at all, just contact a staff member and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Cheers!
