Hi, hello! Welcome aboard, DoomCookie! If your interested in trades, PC has a very large section just for that, the Trade Corner which most of the members above me already linked you to! You could also make your own trade thread if you want, but anyhow, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find the Poke's that you want! :)
Let me guess, you got Pokemon White as a present for Christmas? Correct me if I'm wrong though, I'm not really good with guessing stuff, but at least I tried. lmao .. So, how's everything going, how's your journey coming along? I think you'll get used to the game as you keep on progressing. If you ever have any questions about the game though, you could always ask us by going to the Black and White section! You could also pull off a journal if you want to share your daily journey with us. There's a certain thread in the B/W section, and if you continuously post off, you might eventually get an emblem! ^__^
And don't worry, I'm sure you'd be able to meet a lot of friends here, as you keep on interacting with members by joining and participating on different discussions, you could possibly make a whole bunch of friends! PC's community is pretty nice and friendly, so I don't see that as a problem!
So, try to explore the whole forum. There are still a lot of things to explore and perhaps you might just find another new interest? To end this, here's an advice! If you still haven't read the rules, make sure to do so now. That's the only key if you want to survive forums and to avoid troubles too!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me and I'll try to reply as fast as I could. Have a greaat time and see you around! :D
