Hey Trip, weelcome to PC! Didn't think you'd ever join our forum haha. Nice to meet you! <3
You'll find a lot of strong trainers and great people alike here, so you'll definitely have a fun time. :3 Is there anything you're interested in doing while you're here? Since you like the anime, I recommend dropping by the Pokemon Anime section~ it'll be a great place to talk about the anime with other fans! There are also games, clubs, trading card game, and lots of other sections to get involved in though, so hope you'll do some exploring soon if you haven't yet. Then you'll be even closer to becoming a super strong trainer.
Buut anyway, hopefully I keep seeing you around, yes? Make sure to read up on the rules here so you can understand how things work here, and have fun! I'll be looking forward to seeing you in the Pokemon League, and good luck in your battles!
See you around; feel free to contact me if you need any help here. :D
