Welcome~! Saying hi isn't spam, it's what you're meant to do here :3 I realize this place can be a bit intimidating with all its sections and rules and... So many things you should and shouldn't do. But really, just use common sense and try to be nice at all times and there's nothing to worry about.
PC isn't just a forum for searching for information on or engage in discussions about pokémon games and hacks. There are tons of things you can do here if you're bored or just really eager, haha. You can write fanfiction, you can get to know other forum members through games taking place within threads, you can join "clubs" which are threads where you sign up and become part of a group that fangirls over a certain topic, you can participate in pokémon game challenges where you play your old games in new ways, you can find fanart and talk about food and create your own region or just create a thread asking which kanto starter people preferred to use. If there's anything in life you feel like talking about, PC is basically a home on the web for those who can at least say that pokémon is or has been one of their favorite things.
So of course that's intimidating! But also very friendly. If you feel like you'd need somebody to show you around a bit, there's an Adoption Center which looks a lot more advanced than it is. There you can get someone who promises to help you out with any questions and show you things you might like for a few days. It's useful :3
Good luck, and you can always stop by my own profile and send a Visitor Message if you feel like just chatting about nothing or have a question of course!
