Hey hey Higgy! Welcome to PC and wonderful to meet you. ♥
Oh no worries, this place isn't at all tough to get acquainted with. Be sure to read the rules if you haven't already and once you've done that you should be pretty good to go! Though we also require you to read the rules of each individual forum you plan on posting in. They're all pretty easy to understand so I'm sure all you'll need to do is read through 'em once. Hooray!
I don't think I've anything to trade but regulars over at the Trade Corner will be glad to participate. :D But if you're interested in adding friend codes, just shoot me a message - I'm always on the hunt for more game friends, hah. The more the merrier, after all, right? Too bad the 3DS has a 100 friends list limit. :(
Anyways, see you around and all that good stuff, Higgy! Hope you find everything you're looking for!
