[Intro] Hey there!

[PRXTXTYPE]

Hello everyone, my name is PRXTXTYPE (I know it's hard to read, but it says "prototype" xD). Never been a part of an online Pokemon community, though I've been a huge fan for ~6 years. And, of course, I've never been a part of an offline Pokefan community either, since the gaming side of a franchise is extremely unpopular in my country. Unlike the anime, which I can't get into.
I love videogames and different kinds of art, as well as in-depth reads or video essays on both. If I had to pick just one thing that I'm most dedicated to / interested in - then it would've been music.
Came here to trade Pokemon, ask silly questions and discuss things :)

Hello, Prxtxtype, and welcome to the forums!
I am sorry to hear the gaming side of a franchise is unpopular in your country... I hope PokéCommunity will be to your liking!

To trade, you might want to check Trade Corner section.
Which generation did you play first ?

You will find plenty of places to discuss here!
Feel free to ask any question you have!

Hello and Welcome ! =3

Are you currently playing any Pokemon games?
Do you have any Pokemon merch?

 

[PRXTXTYPE]

Thank you all so much ^_^

Which generation did you play first ?

I started with the third generation, Pokemon FireRed was my very first Pokemon game, though it was already 2016 and I had the choice to play some newer games, I still decided to start my journey from the very beginning (thought I never played any original 1st or 2nd generation games, just remakes). I enjoyed my first playthrough so much. When I finished the game (and I vividly remember that it was very challenging for me at the Elite Four and while trying to catch Articuno) I was completely hooked and excited to try out some newer games.

Are you currently playing any Pokemon games?

Yes! Right now I'm in post-game stage both in Pokemon Ultra Moon and Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Though I've got Pokemon Ultra Moon over than a year ago (1.5 years ago, most likely), I've never made it to the second half of the game, until a couple of months back. But yeah, I'm playing these games slow, taking breaks and stuff. I haven't played PLA in a couple of months too, but still want to see everything post-game has to offer.

Do you have any Pokemon merch?

Not very much of it, since it's hard to get in my country. I've got myself a small collection of TCG cards (probably around 300 cards or something), before TCG left from my country and stopped selling any packs or even started decks in 2018-2019th. Right now you can only buy these at the 10x price. Got some figurines / statues, Omega Ruby limited edition with steelbook and Groudon figurine, some clothes (t-shirt, socks, key trinket).
Not much, but yeah xD It's difficult to get any merch here, especially since the average wage in my city is about 400-450 when converted to USD and we don't have any official Pokemon merch stores with localised prices.

Fire Red was great indeed, with the added Sevii islands, ... I enjoyed playing it too, with the same starter (and top favourite pokémon from the start ^^), Charizard!
I definitely recommend you try the other games, especially the 2nd and 3rd generations or their remakes, and Black/White 2!
After that, there are the ROM hacks and the fan games!

I completed the game with Charizard, so it makes it my first Pokemon ever :) Yep, it's great!
I played SoulSilver and Omega Ruby, as well as original Emerald. Loved OR so much, it was a good time in my life as well :) Poured hundreds of hours into it.
Never played B/W2, but I completed the first one, it was Black version for me, and I loved it as well. It felt like a completely new experience with all new mons, just as the new setting as a whole. Music, atmosphere, Castelia city. Wish we could get a remake for B/W at some point in time. But from what I've already seen / heard about B/W2, it's successfully built upon its originals and was welcomed by many with much more people, so the odds of getting remakes for B/W2 are kinda higher xD Anyway, I'm yet to touch B/W2. Probably it's going to be my next game after I finish with post-game content in UM and PLA. But it's probably going to take me two months or so, and in two months we're getting S/V, so...xD

B/W 2 certainly is one of the best! It has the most means to train a full team (League, high level trainers, 20+ Rare Candies, and especially the Black Tower / White Tree - best training place of all games in my opinion!), a gallery you get to own and can dedicate entirely in raising pokémon's happiness, and a treasure in sunken ruins which you can sell to a collectioner for more than 1 million pokédollars!

 

[PRXTXTYPE]

Sounds amazing :) Definitely going to play B/W2 in the nearest future. Maybe, I will start playing it at the same time with S/V games. Might get nostalgic with it xD Had some sweet memories with B/W1 and that particular time period in my life, just as with OR.
What are your top 6 of all Pokemon games?
And also what are your top 6 Pokemon (just Pokemon, not the games xD)?
Also I've just completed episod RR in UM...55 big nuggets caught me unaware, but thanks to the existence of Kommo-o outfit, these came In handy and now I'm just as broke as I was before xD

Whoops, I forgot to quote your last post so you might've missed my response.

It is fine, I come to check every day if I can.
55 Big Nuggets is a lot! XD

For my personal top 6, I would say : Red (the nostalgia ^^), Gold (same ^^), Fire Red, Black 2, Ruby, Yellow.
For the 6 favourite pokémon, in descending order : Charizard (all time favourite!), Gardevoir, Mew (so cute, but also can learn every move!), Salamence, Zapdos and Mewtwo.
How about you ?
