Hello, hello! Welcome aboard, Dante! It's a great thing you decided to post off an introduction or else you wouldn't get known by some of our PC members here, and now that your familiar with me, it's nice meeting you! <3;;
So, what brought you here in PC aside from the obvious fact that you want to discuss Pokemon? Are you perhaps interested in something else? Or maybe, you just wanted to make new friends? With whatever reason that may be, I'm sure it's here in PC! ^^;;
What was your first Pokemon game if I may ask and when did you started playing? Most of the members here are old-schoolers, basically those who played ever since the first installments - R/B/Y. I'm one of the bunch and my first Pokemon game was Yellow and have been playing ever since. My favorite Pokemon game of all time though is G/S/C, weird huh? But yes, that was definitely the best Pokemon gaming of my life! I enjoy the current games like B/W, HG/SS and D/P/PL, it's just that there's really something special about that game!
The person above me already linked you to the whole Competitive Battling scene, I'm pretty sure you'd be able to learn about all the things that you need to know when it comes to CB. PC also has it's own PO server, in which you could battle some of our PC members here. Feel free to ask away in the CBC section if you have any questions in regards with the whole thing, don't worry, people here are really friendly and helpful which makes this place really special. ^^:;
It would be really awesome if you could tell more about yourself, such as your interests and hobbies. The whole board would love to know you more better, but if your keeping yourself private then that's alright no need to post! We completely understand your concern. :)
But, I'm actually really certain that you will have a lot of fun here, I mean it's pretty much in here - discussions, competitions, events, battling, and etc. PC is pretty large so it would be confusing at first, but take your time to explore the whole thing and I'm definitely sure you will get used here.
Anyway, make sure to read the rules if you still haven't, as what as the person above me mentioned, you don't want to get yourself into trouble, don't you? Any questions, feel free to contact me and I'll try my best to sort it out for you, but you could also PM our staff members - especially the NU/W mod - Meganium90! She's really nice so don't hesitate to send her a message as well. With that, have a greaaaaaaaat time here at PC! ^^;;
