Ahh Quilava. I can tell right now that you're going to feel some sort of love from a certain some for that. :3 Well, maybe you will as long as you don't evolve it. :P Welcome to the community! :D
I always feel nostalgic when I play older games. I remember feeling nostalgic when I was playing Banjo Kazooie recently. They were the good times, when I would play a game, and then eventually get stuck on what to do next, because I couldn't figure it out. I mean even now when I played through the game it was a tough mother and I could still barely figure out what to do in the game. :x It was such a hard game.
The same thing happened with Pokemon. I mean with all the newer moves and that, but still, going through Pokemon Soulsilver was fun indeed. I remember trying to blitz through Bugsy and losing like, 3 times before I beat her. I mean I had pretty weak Pokemon then, like a Bayleef and Chinchou against a Scyther that spams U-Turn. I mean, I found Bugsy even harder than Whitney, but still, I had Whitney prepared with lots of Super Potions and a full out strategy or something. :/ There was just this essence about those games in general in which they were really tough for me, and that I lost to those people like, 4-5 times before beating them.
Well aside from that, make sure to read dem rules and stuff, and have a great time while you're here. Don't be afraid to bring a towel ask questions!
Good luck with Black/White when you get it as well mmkay?
