Hi there Trainer.. or Mel, yeah? |D Welcome to the forum and it is very great to meet you!
Glad to hear you'll be checking out our awesome clubs. There is a whole lot to do there and it's an awesome way to meet people with similar interests. I run a club there myself dedicated to the adorable electric mice/rodent Pokemon, so I'd love to have you there if you're interested. You can also dig through the
Fan Clubs & Groups board.. this is the non-Pokemon equivalent club board we have here on PokeCommunity. By the way.. are you interested in X and Y?! You can try out the wonderful Pokemon X & Pokemon Y board if so, a lot of people are joining the forum nowadays to get involved in the discussion over there. Speculation and discussion on recent news are some of the many things you can chat about there and any new faces are always welcome. :)
LeafGreen was one of my favorite games, I swear the VS Seeker was the best item ever available. Have you been playing Pokemon since FR/LG or did you try out the earlier games like Crystal? I've been following the games since Red and Blue but X and Y are looking to be really awesome, probably the best main series games we've ever gotten. Charizard's also pretty cool and from what I remember Charmander was my first starter in the games.. but nowadays we keep getting such cool starters that it's hard to even
pick a favorite.
I'll try not to boggle you down too much though, baha. :D; I just hope we can all become great friends and you end up sticking around for a long time. Be sure to contact a
moderator if you have questions or post in the
Questions & Feedback board; we're always happy to help there, members included. It's great that you decided to create an introduction since that's a good first step to meeting our members and settling into the community. Hopefully your time here will be really enjoyable, yeah? See you!
