Ooh, I got my first game when I was 7, too! That's pretty awesome. You're going to find so many people here who adore the series as much as you and it's the
perfect haven for meeting new Pokemon fans. I mean, we are PokeCommunity, after all. A lot of our members have been into Pokemon for a long time though we also have our fair share of newer fans, making this a really diverse place. Are there any Pokemon games you're a little more into than the rest? Right now X & Y is really trending since the games are super popular; a lot of our members are posting around the
Pokemon X & Pokemon Y board to give us their thoughts on that, so why not be a part of all that discussion? :D You can discuss the new Pokemon, new areas, new characters, and anything else that has been revealed so far.
But hm.. if you're big on the concepts of the Pokemon world as well as the manga or Pokemon merchandise, I'd also suggest
Pokemon General for you. You can discuss concepts/theories about the Pokemon world there and talk about anything relating to Pokemon as a whole and how everything works. That board has been really popular lately and its regular would be thrilled to have more participants join 'em. You can also look into joining a
Pokemon club sometime as I'm sure there are at least a few open that would catch your eye; be sure to read the first post of a club, fill out the join form, and get discussing! I have a club open right now as well and can vouch for how much of a fun board it is. You're really going to love it. :)
But of course, even outside of Pokemon and on the occasion you want to take a break from discussing the series, you can also scroll a bit further down the main forum index and participate in all the off-topic boards we have, yeah?! They're really great and perfect if you're looking to chat about music, anime, current world news, and so on. I'm sure they'd be great for you as they're one of our most popular areas, usually being just as active as the Pokemon boards. Up to you but hopefully some of these suggestions catch your eye, hehe.
Have an amazing time on PC and be sure to ket a
moderator know if you have any questions! We're always around to help and chat (as are our members). Welcome to PokeCommunity!
