Hello fellow trainers! I'm excited to to be apart of a community focused on one of my favorite series. I collected pokemon cards and played the games in the 90' and have recently gotten back into it after my kids showed an interest the games. I'm glad to see the series is still going strong and can't wait to make new friends in the community!Machop87

That seems to be one cool family you have. Welcome aboard Machop!

So, you mentioned your own family helped you get back into Pokemon? I always love hearing people's stories about Pokemon and how much the franchise connects to a lot of people across different age groups, and now with the 20th anniversary being celebrated it shows that Pokemon is still going strong.

As for sections to check out, Des mentioned the TCG forum but there's some other Pokemon discussion boards as well, and I do wonder if you are on the Sun & Moon (aka 7th Generation) hype train as well? Good luck and I hope you enjoy PC.

Hi there Machop87, welcome to the lovely world of PC!

Aw that's cute. I've always hoped my kids would be into Pokémon if I ever have any, would be a great way to bond over mutual interests. Lovely to hear you're back into the franchise and you'll meet many others around our age here who love it just as much. =) I got into Pokémon first in 1999 and have continued to be addicted throughout these years lol. Once a fan, always a fan!

See you around, please do ask a staff member if you need help. I'd love to point you in the right direction if you're ever unsure of where to post.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!!!! I already feel like I'll fit in here!
My sons reminded me how much these characters meant to me as a child. We are currently playing through stadium2 and building our first deck together. But I am excited to see what the new generation can add to an already awesome line-up of characters.
