Hey hey Adam, welcome to the forum! It's always good to get involved in other Pokemon communities; there's lots to discuss here and the atmosphere is really friendly. Joining up is also great at helping you complete your Pokedex/battle and the like so it certainly is worth it. n_n
Is there anything you're interested in doing here? Lots of members come to discuss the games but there is a whole lot on PC so there are plenty of boards to participate in. Personally I'm quite excited about X and Y (even though I haven't been posting in its board much ha) so there's that to look forward to and be able to discuss with others. They're looking to be really amazing games. You can join clubs, play forum games, discuss anything both Pokemon and non-Pokemon, and all of that fun stuff. Lots to look forward to!
Enjoy your time here and let me or another staff know if you need anything! Be sure to stick around.. wouldn't want to chain you down, right? :D;
