Wow, I'm quite surprised your old games are still working, mines are already broken since I was a kid back then and I really don't know how to keep everything well which resulted from it getting broken. I wish I could still buy one and recall all the memories that I made during those times but I couldn't find one anymore and my parents wouldn't let me order through the internet, so yeah. :3
Anyways, hey there and welcome aboard! So what brought you here over PC? I see that you're a Red fan? I'm a fan but I know someone who is obsessed with Red, you can visit Pokemon Clubs if you're interested into making a fan club just for Red where you could discuss all topics related to him and even submit fan arts, pixel works, etc. You can experience it all in Pokemon Clubs - it's moderated by my fellow friend, Alex she's really nice. I'm quite sure you two will get a long very well. :D
Black and White is an amazing game, I had the wrong first impression until I played the game and I actually got used to the whole Unova Pokemon and eventually got to love the starter, Snivy which is now my all-time favorite which I am sure that you can notice as it's my username! Head over the B&W section by the way if you need some guides, or basically you just want to discuss the game! It's just below this very section btw. :P
Okay so, have an awesome time here! Feel free to ask me, or my mod partner, Megan if you have any questions 'kaaay? We're really nice so don't be afraid! Make sure to get to read the rules as well if you still haven't done so, you don't want to get into any trouble. See you around sweetie~
