Hi Natnew! Welcome to PC, I'm Aaron! OR you can call me AW.
Yeah echoing Cirno's question here, have you played other Pokemon besides Pearl or have you played others too? I have personally played at least one game from every generation so far. Fourth generation though was interesting, especially Platinum! You should buy it and enjoy it cause I've enjoyed Platinum massively. Plus it has some really interesting Pokemon in my opinion some of my absolute favorite Pokemon come from that generation such as Lucario, Luxray, Skuntank, Garchomp, Weaville, Buizel, Turtwig and Torterra, Leafeon, Mismagius and Honchkrow. X and Y also look amazing and I'm beyone excited for them too! Apparently today on the Pokemon Facebook page they're revealing a evolution for a Pokemon and I'm very hyped to see what it is> I'm personally starting with Y and then eventually might get X sometime later. I like getting both cause I can get all of the version exclusive. But Y is gonna be may main game cause I prefer how Yveltal looks personally. Definitely check out the X and Y section which is really full of discussion since the games are 17 days away! Can't wait!!
Hope you enjoy yourself here and have loads of fun. I'm always available to chat too see feel free to send me a VM or PM (visitor message or private message). You can also always contact a staff member if you need help on anything here. They are the ones in bold! Later!
