Life and Pokémon - on a video format near you!

[Blu·Ray]

Hello fellow Pokémon lovers,

Newly returned to PokéCommunity, I decided to donate some money to the awesomeness that this place provides for all us Pokéfans around the globe. And as a pleasant surprise, this otherwise strictly concealed sub-forum revealed itself to me. So here I am, simultaneously a seasoned prowler and a fresh penman.

Let me introduce myself:

I'm Daniel, 16 years old, and I live in the insignificant too-small-to-be-worth-noting-but-big-enough-to-make-me-feel-uncomfortable kingdom of Denmark. I'm a student, as most of you probably also are, but I am probably one of the younger members of PC. My parents both come from Holland, so I'm bilingual, and English is my third language. In fact, Pokémon has played a huge role in me learning the English language at a young age, because the games simply don't exist in danish nor dutch.


A wild PokéCommunity appeared! In depth about how I got into the Pokémon online community, spoilered because it might be really boring...

Spoiler:

Flashback to 2010. A young guy, 12 years old had just found the wonders of the internet. It could not only be used as a resource for school projects, or as a place to play simple flash games. The internet also featured a rich variety of pages concentrated on giving out information in a certain field! This revelation to my mind happened, when one of my friend showed me the wonderful place of Serebii.net. All I could every dream of in Pokémon knowledge was there. It had pages on the games and pages on the anime, but also of mysterious parts of the Pokémon universe like the Pokémon manga, or the competitive gaming!
I even remember looking up pages on Pokémon hacks. One of my friends had Pokémon Chaos Black, but we could not find any information on it on Serebii. So I did the unthinkable and googled it. and guess what? A wild PokéCommunity appeared! That was when I got hooked. I created an account to be able to comment "good hack" on all sorts of crappy half-assed hacks, and in my enthousiasm about this entire Forum solely about the Pokemon universe that I loved so much, I told my older brother about the place.
My brother began to frequent the forums here, but not in the hacks section where I enjoyed my time downloading bad hacks. He had found the challenges forum!
My brother loved to make up monotype teams that would be fun to play with. He talked to me about these monotype challenges, about what Pokémon he would choose and what moves could be useful. He only finished a few of these challenges, but more importantly; He got me absorbed into the community.
My brother got me into challenges, but after a few months I think, I lost interest.

Revert to today where my interest in Pokémon is back, more substantial than ever:
A week ago I was on a road trip with my parents, when I found my trusty GameBoy Color lying in the car. Having nothing else to do, I picked it up, flicked the power switch and the embodiment of pure nostalgia popped up on the LCD. With Pokémon Silver Version, my entire youth, consisting of mostly Pokémon and related stuff, gently flowed back into my conscious mind. I saw no more road on that road trip...
When I returned home, the first thing I did was to turn on my computer and return to the place where part of my Pokémon obsession began - the PokéCommunity... So here I am! :)

Interests: Pokémon; Video games, mainly Nintendo and retro style games as well as strategy games; Technology; Science, but I've not learnt enough to understand half of real science.
Additionally I like to talk about politics, about ethics and philosophy
I like reading, especially fantasy books, and I'm currently reading "Metro 2033", a post-apocalyptic novel by Dmitry Glukhovsky and "The escape from camp 14", the story of a Noth Korean defector who escaped from a prison camp by Blaine Harden.


Feel free to ask me about everything! I will gladly answer every question to the extent that I'm able to, be it about my personal life, about my preferences in terms of Pokémon stuff, or in terms of my country. :) Creative questions are very much appreciated ^^

Very interesting intro my friend!! Welcome back to PC (: a few questions:

1) Do you think you will get back into playing hacks?

2) If you could turn into a Pokemon, which one would it be and why?

3) What do you like the most and the least about Denmark?

4) If you could only play 3 Videogames for the rest of your life, which ones would you chose?

1) Do you think you will get back into playing hacks?
The short answer: No. The long answer: Probably not, unless something really awesome and cool comes up (maybe a 1st or 3rd gen ds version) I might try it out. But bottom line, I'm not really into hacks anymore. All respect to the hackers, but I probably won't be into hacks in a foreseeable future either. :)

2) If you could turn into a Pokemon, which one would it be and why?
See, this one is really hard. I've always had a hard time deciding on stuff, choosing preferences and recommending one thing over another, but if you forced me to choose it would probably be Aerodactyl. Just because of plain awesomeness... Ever since the anime episode where ash gets kidnapped by the über-boss Aerodactyl, fighting Charizard while being completely cool about it. Additionally, Lance has an Aerodactyl, and I would love to be able to fly. {:3}

3) What do you like the most and the least about Denmark?
What I like the most is probably the public system. The socialistic benefits of free healthcare combined with the economic advantages of having the society built upon knowledge-based jobs. ♥
What I dislike the most are the politicians. Increasingly inspired by the american system, our politicians seem to live in a different dimension. Also the fact that Danish people seem to generally dislike everything that has to do with the European Union...

4) If you could only play 3 Videogames for the rest of your life, which ones would you chose?
Pokémon,
Pokémon
and.... ehhhh... Pokémon

In all seriousness, outside of Pokémon I would choose:
Spelunky
Empire Earth (although I might take Civ5 instead even though I haven't really got into it yet...)
Fire Emblem, the one I liked the most is probably Shadow Dragon as it captures the feel of the original really well :)


Please keep the questions coming, I would love to meet some new people and make some friends! ^^
