Aww, don't worry about acceptance. No matter how interested in Pokemon, you are always welcome here. No matter what!
I was told of your arrival, btw. xD And I'd like to say welcome aboard to PC! ^_^ Both Pichu and Jirachi are oh-so cute. Go on ahead and explore the many sections we have here, which ever part of the Pokemon franchise you're interested in, and/or maybe get to know other members by chatting at the off-topic sections. :D If you need someone to guide you around the boards, there's always the Adoption Center! I hope you can check in and be a part of the program!
Anyways, as my mod buddy Fabio mentioned, be sure to read the rules, and contact a staff member (like me or Fabio, or anyone in bold) if you need help with stuff! :D I look forward to seeing ya around!
