    Hey guys, my name is Joseph.

    I've been playing the Pokémon games since I was about 4, starting with Pokémon Leafgreen. I recently was browsing through Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Speculation forums, when I found this community. I'm very excited to be participating in the Pokémon ORAS Speculation contest, and I hope to receive one of 2 copies of the game!

    Favorite Generations:

    1. Hoenn + Kanto Remakes (3rd Gen)
    2. Sinnoh + Johto Remakes (4th Gen)
    3. Kalos + Hoenn Remakes (Will probably move to #1 if remakes are good) (6th Gen)
    4. Unova + Unova Sequels (5th Gen)
    5. Johto (2nd Gen)
    6. Kanto (1st Gen)

    An Explanation On My List:

    I've always thought that the Hoenn games were the best due to their: amazing music (trumpets), interesting storyline, and great selection of Pokémon. FRLG are also really great updated forms of the originals. Mostly though, these were the games I started with, so I remember them the most. The Sinnoh games were pretty good, but HGSS is mostly he reason why 4th Gen is my second favorite. I also really liked the physical/special split that was introduced in this Gen. The Kalos games were also good. I wasn't a huge fan of the story, but the music and region make up for it. Since my favorite games are getting remade soon, this Gen will probably move up on the list soon. I really didn't like the original Unova games too much. The music was decent, the Pokémon seemed to be mostly re-skins, and it was trying to separate itself from the rest of the series too much. The sequels, however, fixed almost all my problems with the originals and are some of my favorites in the series now. Both the original Johto and Kanto games just seem a little outdated for me now. Since I don't really have any nostalgic feelings with them, I would just rather play the updated remakes.

    Competitive Stuff:

    I hope to get more deep into the Pokémon competitive world once the Hoenn remakes come out. I will be playing VGC format for anyone wondering. Also, I'll put my 3DS friend code below if anyone ever wants to battle.

    If anyone has any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below. I could answer almost any question about Pokémon and would be happy to speculate about the new Hoenn remakes.

    3DS Friend Code: 2019-9742-8305
    (I know my friend safari is ground-type, not sure what pokemon are in it though.

    Welcome to PC, Joseph. You have good taste. My preferences on generations are similar, though I like Gen 2 more than Gen 5. Nothing beats the Crystal sprites, ja? Anyhow, be sure to check out the Trade Corner's chatroom, since they usually have a handful of people that play VGC there. I also recommend our battle server, but most of the people there play OU instead of VGC. Still, it's a good place to chat about battling, and it might be possible to popularize VGC there.
     
    Big welcome to the world of PC, Joseph! You're instantly awesome if you're as into OR/AS and the third generation as you say you are. I'm a huge fan myself and am going insane waiting for these remakes aha. Just so hard given how good they're sure to be! :D

    If you'd like to swap your friend code with others I recommend the friend code topic over in our X & Y board as well. Great place to make in-game friends and get some assistance in seeing what Pokemon are in your safari. Mine is ground type too but the Pokemon aren't too good except for Diggersby. :(

    Anyways, enjoy your time here and see you around.
     
    What a thorough introduction!

    Nice to meet you, and so avidly too already; after only that post hahah. You must be excited for the ORAS remakes then, with your Hoenn favoritism eh? There's plenty of discussion on the new details and tidbits here daily, so if you thirst for all information regarding those upcoming titles, you'll surely be happy here.

    Welcome to PC - and hope you stick around. ^^
     
    Ah yes, loving the 3rd gen fandom! I really can't wait for the 3rd gen remakes as well; they're set to be really, really awesome and I can't wait to hear all of the remixes and the new graphics of the Hoenn region, aah. <33

    Hopefully you can stick around with us, and you're more than welcome to check out all of the sections and boards covered above me! Of course, I won't be opposed if you visited Video Games too - I'll be more than happy to see you there too. ;3

    Cheers! Have an awesome time, and it's great to meet you!~
