I'd be happy to be the first to welcome you today! It's really nice to see you here Matt!
My birthday happens to be in October like you as well, but I'll be turning 22 in my case. And yay for more longtime Pokemon fans! I have been into the franchise for a good chunk of my life so far, and I know I'll still be into Pokemon for pretty much all eternity. Nice fave you have in Ninetales there, the Vulpix line happen to be quite the fan favorites because they're well, beautiful. I'm more of a fan of Water-types but I still love a lot of cute Pokemon alongside them.
There's so much stuff you can do here at PC, including discussing topics from all walks of the Pokemon franchise, such as the games, anime, TCG, and well even some non-Pokemon topics as well. Have an awesome time around Matt, and if you need help you can always ask any staff members in the bold usernames!
