Hi there! :)
First off, I love the colors on this message board! They blend very nicely together, making it easy on the eyes! Second of all, wow! There sure are a lot of forums! Seems even a bit overwhelming! It's all good though, I really look forward to doing some exploring... even if it causes me to lose some sleep. :laugh:
Anyway, guess I should say a little bit about myself? Okay, well, obviously I'm a fan of Pokemon, otherwise I wouldn't be here. I started watching the anime shortly after it came over to America, and I think my first episode was part one of the S.S. Anne episode. I think the only reason I tuned in to an episode was because Nintendo Power did some heavy promotions for it in the magazine, and since I was a subscriber at the time, I decided to check out the show. From there, I liked the anime enough to buy Pokemon Blue. I don't think I ever spent so much time playing a GB game before! It was great fun, and I bought Pokemon Yellow when it came out later on, as well as Pokemon Stadium 2.
I remember beating all my friends in battle. I had this level 100 Zapdos that was nearly unbeatable. I won so many battles with it and my Venusaur and Snorlax that I'd often have to use some of my weaker Pokemon in order to get my friends to battle me. It was all good though... I was great at the games, but boy did I stink with the card game! I could never get the hang of it, and my friends got their revenge against me there many times. :laugh:
Shortly after the Orange League episodes began, I started to lose interest. I guess I overdid it with all the games and toys (I used to have a Pokedex) and my friends seemed to be losing interest too. So, up until two years ago, I had absolutely no interest in Pokemon. Then, one day, I was going through the TV stations and I happened to come across a Master Quest episode. I was shocked that they were still making episodes, so I decided to watch to see if anything had changed. Well, I don't know what did it, but after watching my first episode of Pokemon in four or so years, I sort of got back into it. Only now, I only watch the anime. I haven't gone back to the games, with the exception of Leaf Green, and I probably won't because I just don't seem to have the interest in them anymore. The only reason I bought Leaf Green was because I was hoping to "relive" the same challenging and fun adventure that I had on Pokemon Blue all those years ago. While I did enjoy the game, it just wasn't the same...
Besides Pokemon, I enjoy a wide range of other television programs including Star Trek, Law & Order, That '70s Show, Home Improvement, Classic TV programs (like All in the Family, I Love Lucy), Beast Wars: Transformers, and some others. Despite all that I listed, I actually don't watch much TV. These are just programs I like to catch if I need to relax or I have nothing to do. Being a first-year college student doesn't really leave much time for things like TV watching.
I also like to spend my time writing, exploring the meanings of colors and how the human mind percieves them as well as their symbolic meanings, listening to the radio (only type of music I usually listen to is classic Rock & Roll from the '60's & 70's), playing Super Smash Bros. Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube, volunteering my time to help those less fortunate, and keeping in contact with friends that have moved far across the country.
Let's see... what else? Oh, well I'm turning 20 on the 29th of this month, so I guess that will be a big thing since I'll no longer be in my teenage years. It sure is going to be odd being "officially" an adult soon (well, even if I have to wait until I'm 21) but I've always been mature for my age, so maybe it won't be all that odd.
Maybe I should stop there, because I don't think most introductory threads are usually this long, and I don't want to give anyone eye strain on my first day here. :laugh:
Anyway, I'm glad to be here and I look forward to making some new friends as well as engaging in some fun and thoughtful discussions! :)
