Hello, I'm Shane. If you have any questions, you can PM or VM me, I'll be happy to help.
That depends. What do you ultimately want it to become? Just a bunch of fake Pokemon, or do you want to make a game, or an RP, or what?

But yeah, start out in the art section. Just know that no one will want to help you if you aren't doing anything yourself, though. As a matter of fact, your thread will be locked.
