Great to meet you too Howsthat! I noticed you joined almost 4 years ago, and around only 3 months after I originally joined. Still, it's great that you're back nonetheless and hoping to get active!
I do understand the pain of being stuck in the older generations, since not everyone was able to afford a DS or 3DS at the time that generation started but hopefully you can get one soon and get caught up with pretty much everyone else. Besides, modern Pokemon games can be just as fun as the classic ones, even if some sacrifice the challenge elements. No matter what you're interested in, you will still enjoy the friendly atmosphere around PC in general and there's so much you can discuss while you're here!
Have a nice weekend by the way, and I'm sure you will be able to settle into the community and make lots of new friends. If you ever need anything, you're always free to ask myself or any staff members!
