    I remember watching my first episodes of Pokemon way back in the day. Ash was 10 years old and was old enough to finally get his Pokemon licence. And I went crazy because I was 10 years old as well! And on that very birthday I received my red Gameboy color and matching Pokemon Red game. I think I chose Bulbasaur as my starter. I also remember seeing Pokemon: The First Movie in theatres and crying during that tragic scene. Pokemon has been my childhood obsession and I've gotten back in touch with it over the last few years. I must admit, during my late middle school years and early high school years, I got away from it due to social views/pressures on such a "childish" thing. But then I grew out of my shell and don't really care what anyone thinks of me.

    So now, I guess I shall introduce myself. I am Shovel! I am a 21 year old Pokemaniac with a decade of Poke' experience! I've played Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Crystal, Snap, Stadium, Stadium 2, Puzzle Leage, Leaf green, and a little of soul silver. I'm really only familiar with the first 3 or 4 season of the anime, and only aware of Pokemon up to Johto. And Mudkips. >_> So I might need a little help on the newer stuff. My favorite Pokemon is Haunter. I always have one on any gameboy game I play. It's good to be here!
     
    Hi, Shovel! That's a pretty down-to-earth username. And an epic introductory thread! I remember getting exited to turn 10 in hopes of becoming a trainer as well. XD (And then hoping to become a witch at 11, but that's another story. XD) If you want to check out the later generations of Pokemon games, I'd recommend Emerald for Hoenn (which is my favorite game & region) and Platinum for Sinnoh.

    Anyway, welcome to PC! I'm sure you'll fit right in here, what with all your experience. ^_^
     
    Welcome, Shovel! Wow, what a nice and yet concise username, huh? I never left Pokémon. Glad to have you at PokéCommunity.

    We all know our childhood memories, huh? Have fun around the forums.
     
    Haha! It's been my Nickname ever since middleschool, and I always use it for my characters on my gameboy games. Thanks for the warm welcome you two! Friend me if you like...I need some. ^.^;
