Before I say I anything else, I want to thank you guys for welcoming me to the community so nicely! You are awesome, and I really appreciate that! I'm sure that I'll have quite a blast here. And I'll also make sure to visit all the sections you guys have recommended me.
Welcome!
I'm pretty new here too but PC is full of very friendly people. We also have section devoted just for Gen 3, so you should check that out.
Hope you enjoy PC!
Thanks, I'll make sure to do just that. This forum is rather detailed, from what I've seen, and has something for everyone.
Hello there! Welcome! I'm MusicClues but Call me MC.
I'm not that big of a Gen 3 fan but You'll find More around here. Also Don't Let My Mascot DJ fool ya, I'm a Diehard Pokemon Fan. Hope to See ya around.
Thanks, pal! And hey, I like Sonic too! Nothing wrong with that.You're mascot's pretty cool.
Yupp, you have a whole forum dedicated to gen 3, which i beleive is the first gen which gave me the feeling of reality in the pokégames. Morever, here you can make your own gen 3 battle team here and fight battles on the showdown.
I will make sure to check it out, thanks! I like the third gen because I feel it's a perfect combination. Newer games have awesome graphics and some cool new features, but they are, in my opinion, a little slow and have too many characters that they try too hard to make important. Old ones are something special, nostalgia hits hard with them, and your rivals aren't obsessed with you, but... they were made quite a while ago as we can see from their graphics. I feel like the third gen stands somewhere in between, but it's just me.
Heeey Andreja! and welcome to PC, it's really nice to meet another fan!
I was on the same situation as you, I never really had many friends to talk about Pokemon, and to be honest. Nobody ever knew that I liked it so much, until I came here and things changed! I never played a Nuzlocke, I don't find them enjoyable, specially on a game where most things are luck based. If luck wasn't a factor in every single battle, I would try them, but I don't want to lose my Pokemons thanks to a crit, or something like that... I would rage so hard, haha.
If I can help you around here, feel free to ask me. If you want to chat, feel free to send me a message! I wish you luck with everything here, and I hope you enjoy your stay here!
Yeah. and it's especially bad when you kinda get in some Pokemon hype (like with Pokemon GO now) and you wanna talk about it all day and night, but don't have anyone to do it with. I'm confident I made a great choice by joining this place.
I don't find nuzlockes enjoyable anymore, either. They are challenging, they can give you a few new Pokemon you like, help you get deeper into the game and that's all cool and fun but... after a few times it gets tiring having to settle with the same Pokemon which usually aren't even bad or weak but you just don't like them. It would be more fun if we could pick one Pokemon per route, in my opinion.
Thank you for welcoming me!
Welcome. A convenient place for a fan of the series.
You like Nuzlockes, eh? Which of the games have you done such runs for, mostly FR/LG/R/S/E or most of the other ones? There's many people who are fans of such runs here, as well as a challenge forum, if you're interested in posting in there. If you like casual runs and Nuzlocke, presumably you would like Pachirisu, the epitome of the casual Nuzlocke. Still, though, Ralts is an interesting choice, as they did have an interesting place as one of the first straightforward early-game Psychics, although their evolutions do tend to approximate a Pachirisu. Any preferences as regards their evolutionary forms, who are quite different in a way? The popularity of the series has perhaps decreased a bit. You should be able to discuss most of your interests, from the third gen to the anime, on designated forums here, so you may well be fine with discussing such things if you wish to.
It looks like a cool place!
Liked, might be better way to put it, heh. As I stated in the comment above, some aspects of the challenge got a bit tiresome over time, mainly because they limit you to similar choice of Pokemon as everyone else will get + few occasional strokes of good luck, but that's just me. On the other hand, they will make you fall in love with some Pokemon you used to have no opinion on, at best.
Honestly, I've only completed one Nuzlocke - an Emerald one, because I was doing a comic on it which made me loyal to it, but even that's water under bridge now. Most of the other ones... are stuck, as I can't bring myself to either delete the or find enough will to finish them. This usually happens when my fave Pokemon dies...
I had my Ralts evolve into a Gardevoir - I prefer that form, it serves me well against the dragon types in the newer games, too.
Thank you for the suggestions!
All smiley had to die because of the glitch.
