Well making friends at the Pokécommunity takes just as long as you took to click that "Submit Reply" button. xD
(We're very friendly here, I'm sure most to any of us would befriend you.)
You have been playing for one and a half years, huh?
While that's not as long as some of the other veterans around this place, it is a rather ample amount of experience indeed. I'm sure you will get along just fine over in the Strategies and Movesets section where you may discuss metagame team's and how to make them better. Many benefit from the great discussions that take place over there. ;D
I'm sure we can't wait for you to start posting around the community, my good sir! So get out there and start making your voice heard!
Hope to see you around!
